Big sigh of relief today! (Tw for cancer, parental death under the cut)

So it's been almost two years since Mom died of ovarian cancer, and one of the super fun things I learned in the process is that certain kinds of cancer have a strong genetic component. For ovarian cancer, the presence of certain genes can boost your lifetime chance of ovarian cancer from 1.8% (general population baseline) to 50%.

Shortly before she died, my mom managed to get a full genetic workup (we actually got the results a few days after she died) that came back negative, which was a spectacular gift, but I was also very aware that there are very few women on Dad's side of the family and honestly I was just getting anxious about my own chances - seeing someone go from "I'm going to the doctor's office about this upset stomach I can't shake" to dead in five months will do that to you.

Luckily I have phenomenal insurance through work (which obviously shouldn't be a thing, fucking give everyone universal health care as a basic human right regardless of employment status, but I digress), and the campus I work at has some world-class folks working in oncology and genetics. So I got a series of meetings with specialists to talk about me getting genetic testing, and then an appointment this morning to talk to a surgeon/genetics expert about my results.

Everything's negative on my end! Due to a variety of factors, I may actually have a slightly lower lifetime risk than the general population. I learned that I might want to go back on hormonal bc (10 years on the pill have been associated with 40% reduction in ovarian cancer risk, and a hearty fuck-you while I'm at it to everyone who even casually lobbies against birth control) and if I ever go to get my tubes tied, I may want to get the tubes removed altogether instead, but otherwise I'm good to go about my life.

I have a number I can call if anything changes (new cancers in my family, that sort of thing) or if I notice even slightly worrying symptoms. The regular screening methods currently in use for ovarian cancer have not shown any positive effect (and in low-risk patients - of which I am now officially one! - there is a negative effect recorded in the form of false positives leading to unnecessary surgeries), so she recommended against that in my case.

For my fellow ovary-havers: ovarian cancer does have symptoms, but they're often so general that they get dismissed by medical professionals in favor of more ordinary ailments (mom was at the drugstore picking up a prescription for diverticulitis when the doctor's office called to say it actually wasn't diverticulitis after all): bloating, urinary frequency changes, changes in bowel habits... but what really matters is an acute and severe flare of those things. So it's important to be aware of your baseline and take action when there are any major changes.

So, yeah. Feels good (and surreal) after two years to no longer have a potentially dangerous surgery hanging over me (removal of the ovaries super early is associated with higher risk of heart disease, osteoporosis, and dementia, to say nothing of the fun of early menopause). At the same time, I'm extremely aware of how lucky I am to be in a place (both physically and just, y'know, economically?) where all of this expertise was at my disposal and never cost a penny out of pocket.

In Shakespeare's Macbeth, there is a prophecy made to the eponymous Macbeth that "no man of woman born can kill him." Ultimately, Macbeth ends up being killed by MacDuff, who sidesteps the prophecy due to being a C-section baby.

With the wording of this prophecy, it can be said that quite a few fictional characters could, theoretically, kill Macbeth if they wanted to. Several factors could make you exempt from this prophecy: being any gender other than a man; not being conventionally "born"; and birthing parent is not a woman. Here are the three main criteria that will be analyzed for a character:

Gender Clause: A character applies for this Clause when they do not identify with the term "man" in reference to themselves. Inversely, the are disqualified from this Clause if they do identify with the term "man." Since characters' gender identities are rarely looked this far into, it will be assumed that if a character uses strictly he/him pronouns, then he will be disqualified for this Clause by default.

Unconventional Birth Clause: A character applies for this Clause if their inception was done in some way other than a conventional live birth. This could mean they were extracted via c-section, delivered posthumously, hatched from an egg, manually constructed, etc.

Birth Parent Clause: A character applies for this Clause when the person attributed to their creation does not identify with the term "woman." This functions similarly to the way that we handle the Gender Clause.

Unique Exception: This is used for any character with some other loophole, such as being able to canonically change the path of fate.

FAQ under the cut, PLEASE READ BEFORE SUBMITTING:

Why isn't there a Species Clause?: A character's species is not taken into account for the "man" portion of the prophecy, as a character of a different species can still identify as a man. Why isn't there an Age Clause?: Unless the character specifically says that they are not a "man," but a "boy," (See: Peter Pan) then a young male character will still be disqualified for the Gender Clause. How would a genderfluid/trans character be counted?: Whether or not a character applies for the Gender Clause is determined by how they personally identify at that specific time. A genderfluid character could kill Macbeth one day, but not the next; a trans woman could kill Macbeth, but a trans man could not. Who runs this blog?: It's just me, one person. I haven't disclosed my main account yet, but another gimmick blog I run is @periodiccompletionist. Could the owner of this blog kill Macbeth?: Yes, I apply for the Gender Clause due to being a demiboy(? it's complicated) who does not identify with the term man. How do I know if a character has been done already?: I tag all submissions with the character's name and associated fandom. A spreadsheet is in the works as well, but that's not yet public. Could [character] kill Macbeth?: This is what the ask box is for! Feel free to submit whoever you want when it's open. Is the ask box open?: Check my bio for ask box status updates. :) I sometimes close it to work through backlog, and have anon turned off to cut down on the amount of asks coming in. Can I submit real people?: Yes, but I will most likely not give an answer in my post; these sorts of details are often highly personal, so I will not be doing research on them for this without their consent. If they're on Tumblr, they can respond to the post itself and give the definitive answer if they so choose. What should I do if I have a correction/rebuttal to a post?: Please do this in a reblog instead of an ask/DM/reply; it makes things much easier for me. My submission didn't get answered. Should I submit it again?: I would strongly advise against it. It's most likely that I didn't answer it for one of the following reasons: I haven't gotten to it yet through the backlog; it's a real person not on Tumblr; the character/media was too difficult to research (I'm not going to be reading/watching through the actual source material, sorry); the character/media makes me personally uncomfortable; or someone has already submitted your character. If you're REALLY curious about what happened to your ask, you can send me a DM and I will give you the reason why or tell you if I didn't receive it. Are you dead?: No, I just have ADHD. Errm, actually, wasn't the prophecy just a trick to fuel Macbeth's hubris?: Great job, you just defeated the entire point of this blog! What the hell do expect me to do with that information? Delete my account?? Ruiner of the spirit. Jarvis, piss this guy's pants. How do you pronounce axolotl?: a-SHOW-loat.

What media properties should I avoid submitting?: Dialtown (makes me uncomfortable), Homestuck (personal reasons), Hazbin Hotel/Helluva Boss (or anything vivziepop-related), Harry Potter (JK Rowling is a bitch and I'm the only god here), Hi-Fi Rush (want to play; avoiding spoilers), Slay the Princess (want to play; avoiding spoilers), FNAF (you actually can submit this one but be aware that you will not view me the same afterwards also all my homies hate Scott Cawthon)

I see @eponymous-rose doing these sometimes and I've always thought it was so much fun, so here's a Day in the Life of a clinical Associate Professor™. For reference, I've been seeing patients & teaching at my current university since finishing my residency almost a decade (!!!!!) ago.

9:30 - 10:00 - Precious precious office hours, spent answering emails from students, colleagues, and a guest speaker from a national organization I'm trying to coordinate an event for in two weeks. Everything's lined up except the venue (all our regular lecture halls are booked), and of course we discover this just outside his window to refund his airline tickets. Rats.

10:00 - 12:00 - Clinical lab! I'm coursemaster for two complex lecture/lab courses in the spring (protip: never let admin do this to you), so right now I spend most of my week in the classroom. Friday AMs are my advanced procedures lab, & today the students are doing intradermal and subcutaneous injections of the forearm and eyelid. This course can be really scary for them, so I go to a lot of effort to get them mentally and emotionally prepped, practicing approach and needle manipulation, etc. All of them do wonderfully, and even after cleanup and taking the biohazard bag down to disposal, I'm out on time.

12:00-1:00 - Guest faculty candidate lecture! Our full-time faculty has been down by about five people for a few years, and we also have three more of our remaining full-timers out on medical leave until late February, so we are hurting for help. This applicant gives a phenomenal talk on diversity and optometric scope across the several continents she's taught in over the last twenty years. It's an extraordinary talk and I honestly learn more geography than I expected.

1:00 - 2:30 - Lecture! Advanced procedures lecture to the third-year class, usually the only barrier between them and their weekend. I really like today's lecture and it goes well, and even the chronic dozers in the side seats stay awake.

2:30 - 2:45 - Intended to be an interview/tour with the faculty applicant, except here comes the first wrench. Just as she gets to my office, the colleague delivering the speaker lets me know she's having tech trouble with her Zoom-in guest lecturer and also there's a very upset student in the hall outside the classroom. I go down with her right away; student is okay, just got some very bad news, and when I'm sure they're settled with their friends & support system I help the colleague with the tech.

2:45-3:10 - Tour finally happens! The students we encounter are chipper and cheerful (not always the case in practical season!).

3:10-4:00 - Meeting with my clinic coordinator to prep for next week's practicals. My other big course this semester caps with a high-stakes clinical entrance exam; in essence, the students must perform a complete, independent eye examination from start to finish, and they can't enter clinic with "real" patients until they pass. The setup & scheduling for this practical (which runs over three weeks) is probably the most complicated logistical nightmare of my year. However, my coordinator is amazing, and within the hour she has a detailed list of both her tasks and mine and will report back as each prep step is done.

4:00-5:00 - Desperately trying to finish this schedule, answer my most urgent calls from patients, and finish some time-sensitive grading. Another colleague comes by and asks what I thought of the guest speaker, and when I say I didn't get much time in my interview with her, she suggests I tag along to the faculty dinner with her tonight at 5:45. A fantastic idea! I'll just wear what I have on, yeah?

The faculty dinner is at a five-star steakhouse. I'm wearing scrubs and a pullover.

It's okay, I have time to make it home and change! I can make it!

5:15 - I accidentally overwrite 90% of my completed schedule with an old, mostly blank copy, and don't realize it until after saving multiple times (I was on a different tab in the spreadsheet).

5:15 - 5:45 - Meticulously recreate the schedule as quickly as I can. I've already emailed out some assignments to the students, so I can't start over from scratch (which would have honestly been faster). Finally finish & send out the details to needed parties.

5:45 - 6:35 - race home, feed the dog, change into slacks and my favorite blazer, race out to the steakhouse.

6:35 - 8:30 - I arrive just before the salads come out, hallelujah! I have the best steak I've ever eaten in my life, as well as have a fantastic conversation with the candidate and the other faculty. The time honestly flies by, and when I realize what time it is I'm feeling very guilty about leaving the dog. Still, I'm sure she'll be a fantastic fit for the program, and it's honestly a relief to have my questions about some of her experience answered.

8:50 - home at last, at last!

8:51 - I discover my fly has been unzipped all night.

8:52 - 9:00 - I indulge in paroxysms of shame until I rationalize that the restaurant was incredibly dim, I was sitting the whole time, and my undies are also black. It's fine. It's fine. It's fine.

9:00 - now - hot bath, a book of poetry, and a double bourbon. After today, I feel like I've earned it.

Harry Dresden - The Urban Fantasy Spider-Man

"With great power comes great responsibility" is one of the most famous phrases in the English language, and the philosophy by which Spider-Man lives and dies.

They're also the words by which Harry Dresden, the eponymous hero of Jim Butcher's fantastic Dresden Files lives. Indeed, there are a lot of parallels between the original web-head and the wizard who was pitched to publishers as "Dirty Harry Potter".

Because I'm probably gonna tag this as Spider-Man, some explanation is in order. Harry Dresden is a powerful wizard who lives in Chicago, Illinois, and makes his living as a private investigator. He's constantly broke and constantly fighting for his life. An orphan who lost his parents under mysterious circumstances, he eventually found a parental figure in a character who's kind of like an uncle to him (after some horrific trauma). He goes through several love interests throughout the series, some of whom die horribly and cause him severe emotional crises. He's got a group of allies he can call on when the going gets tough, and he loves to quip.

But the similarities are more than that - at their core, they're driven by the same philosophy, the one I used to open this essay-thing. The fifth book is the first time it's hinted at - Harry is asked, point-blank, why he does what he does, and the answer he gives is that if he doesn't do it, no one will, and that he owes it to the world to use his power to help others. In the same book, he sarcastically remarks that he's a disciple of the Tao of Peter Parker. In book eight, in a conversation with a priest who serves as a supporting character, Harry remarks that "with great power comes great responsibility". In book 15, he paraphrases Luke 12:48 as the reason he holds himself to the standard he does, which is essentially the same thing.

Both characters also struggle with temptation by hostile, parasitic powers that increase their strength - Spider-Man with the Symbiote and Harry with... well, that's a spoiler, but you'll know it when you see it. While yes, Harry seeks out that power, he doesn't mean to keep it and he actively resists the urges it instills in him, ones of violence. Book 14 has him wear a t-shirt with the Symbiote logo on it to lampshade this (and given who bought him the shirt, it's kinda fucked-up).

If you're looking for a new take on Peter Parker (and can look past the male gaze/misogyny stuff in the early books which I swear goes away after he gets his ass kicked by a few women), steeped in mythologies from around the world and with plenty of pop-culture references to look out for (though not obnoxious amounts), I'd recommend The Dresden Files wholeheartedly. Also, do it with the audiobooks - the guy who played Spike on Buffy the Vampire Slayer narrates them.

You know what, it's high time I defined the familiars for the bunch from The Truth Teller. Thank you for the motivation! The familiar spirits of the Days of Dusk cast can be found here.

*a couple of hours of dredging through references later*

Ok, I've got this. Disclaimer: subject to change as the project progresses.

Rilna - quail

She's a kind, innocent soul who gets pulled into the criminal underworld Alice-through-the-looking-glass style, and and at the same time is cursed to be unable to lie (the eponymous Truth Teller). Also, a little chubby and unassuming.

I really wanted her to have a raven or an owl as her familiar spirit, but damn, all of the cool birds Eastern Europe are harbingers of doom.

Quails are seen as friendly and rather sedentary, sometimes argumentative, often noisy chatty. Also, don't you just want to hug this adorable birb?

Sieran - Eurasian Lynx

Sieran is the maltreated enforcer who hasn't decided yet whose side he's on.

I honestly couldn't find any solid sources on how lynx was seen in folklore. Still, I feel like this solitary and in general silent predator fits Sieran very well.

Lirivan - Barn swallow

Lirivan is the compassionate healer who entertains the dream of being a stand-up comedian.

Swallows are associated with good health and luck. The presence of a swallow nest in a barn protects the animals from diseases, and a swallow nesting on the house will fend off fire. Conversely, hurting a swallow or destroying its nest brings misfortune (and if anyone hurts Lirivan... let's just say, it would be extremely unwise).

Welcome to my lair.

Make yourself comfortable.

My name is Eponymous. And since Eponymous means "referring to the name" I'm technically the eponymous Eponymous, hence Eponymous Squared. This tumblr is occasionally just random thoughts on shows, comics, etc, but it's largely writing. So I thought I'd make a directory of finished stories for easy navigation. I'm very new to the whole 'writeblr' thing, but I'd love to participate in any and all tag games.

One Level Down:

My own fictional universe. The following stories take place in it. An overly meta series of people in stories realizing that their worlds are less real then they thought, and what that does to them. Add in eldritch horrors who force you to reshape your entire worldview to suit their whims and worship them like gods, and we get a surreal romp through fanfiction for stories that don't exist as the denizens of these worlds try to find meaning in their lives.

Escape from the Plothole(Finished) My first finished story. A camp counselor finds that things are not as they seem.

Discarded Darling(WIP) A story of love, hate, manipulation, magic, and more goats than strictly necessary.

The adventures of the leaders of the Wild Hunt and those who get caught up in their endless ride.

Sheidy Business(WIP)

An old, jaded woman gets caught in a war of literally biblical proportions when an orphan under her care goes missing. The king of demons tries to stop a plan to kill god. And in the center of it, a young, lost boy who no longer knows where his allegiances should lie.

This story is based off of jewish folklore from various places, and I've been workshopping it for awhile now. I should note that it is INSPIRED by myths, and not necessarily entirely accurate, especially since some of the sources I'm drawing from are somewhat vague.

ok i have been following you for years? i think? and i need to get this off my chest. i've always assumed that whenever you tag a post "#rick" it's in reference to an OC of yours or something. but in spite of this my brain always autofills that you're talking about rick sanchez, the eponymous rick of rick and morty, which frankly has made the experience of reading your reblogs a baffling experience. that's all. i hope you have a lovely day

imagine how I feel, walking into conversations about "Rick" and it turns out to be Rick Sanchez-- god. I'm just thinking about that whole tag on my blog now and wondering how many people I've reblogged from who are wondering what weirdo headcanons I have about the rick and morty guy

like. you gotta understand. I named Rick Rick because I was fully expecting him to be some white bread cis man straight as a fucking arrow completely along the lines of Rick Sanchez and Rick Walking Dead, not the mess of gender and sexuality he is NOW!!

Netflix lists 'Glass Onion' island compound for $450 million on Zillow. Move over, "Wednesday": Netflix's latest hit is a Zillow listing. Just in time for the streaming debut of its hotly anticipated "Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery," the streaming service's marketing team has listed the film's eponymous Greek island compound on the popular real estate site. The fictional Zillow listing for the 17-bedroom, 22-bathroom, 29,000-square-foot "Extravagant Island Commune" has a price tag of $450 million, which may be a reference to the amount Netflix reportedly shelled out for the rights to a second and third film in the franchise featuring detective Benoit Blanc (Daniel Craig). The 26 acre property, which in the film is owned by eccentric tech billionaire Miles Bron, played by Edward Norton, boasts a single "rooftop parking space." "Sleek architecture and sophisticated design, with an equal eye toward nature and extravagance, provide an unparalleled luxury living experience accessible only by boat and crowned by a Glass Onion atrium," the listing reads.
