So I has an idea for an undertale infection AU.

So this was specifically inspired by @shadowy-suitcase-herring-neck 's infection AU, but you can imagine it with others.

(TW talk of disease, death, bites, and apocalypse stuff!)

So, Lust Sans. We all know that monsters in Underlust weren't always, well, Lustful. That's due to the fallen humans soultraits, of Lust, right?

While I'm not entirely sure if this is fanon/canon, but we know about the vaccine, yeah? The one thar made monsters lustful.

Well, hear me out. Since there's INFINITE AUs, I think it's pretty obvious that atleast SOME of the Sanses would be immune to the infection, atleast until the virus mutates itself enough to be powerful enough to infect, said Sanses.

I think it's like a tier list. The first variation could infect a small portion of Sanses, with a few being immune. But that few could be infected by the second tier, which couldn't infect third tier immunity, do you get what I'm saying?

I think people like Reaper sans, would be 4th tier immune, only a VERY strong strained could infect a literal God. People like Six-Bones would have 3rd tier immunity, so still pretty strong.

And, I think people like Lust would have that lowest immunity, 2nd tier, where they're safe from the first variation of it. The reason why, is because his soul has that Lust vaccine in it. And I think the vaccine has more crap in it than just pure Lust, I think it'd be like a wall to the first variation of the Virus..

Woah, did I just accidentally create an AU? Cool.

ANYGAYS—I've depicted what I think that'd be like, here's a sketch of Lust, with two bite marks. Now clearly, he's not infected, but I think he's fully aware that he won't be immune for long. Especially if it's Lust from Shadowy's infection AU, they confirmed they think a medic role would fit him. So I think he'd have some medical knowledge.

Thus, I think he'd wear a muzzle with a mask underneath. But the muzzle was created SPECIFICALLY so he couldn't take it off himself, it requires tedious help from another person.

He knows, that he's not gonna survive this if they don't make a cure, NOW. He doesn't know why he hasn't turned yet for sure, but the idea I just presented you is his main theory. But he knows that if any of the other underlust survivors get it, (I'm saying the only survivors are him, mettaton, and frisk) than he'd be at risk too.

...For now though, the muzzle is a precaution, keeps him from being able to bite anyone.

TSAMS Continuity AU: Blood Scorched Earth

Note: This takes place after Earth's old body was destroyed by Luna but before Earth came back.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Creator can be seen completing Earth's new body, along with updating some software. Though he seems to be coming across multiple errors which stated in bold font "Forgor Not Found".

The Creator: It really shouldn't be saying that, I made sure that it was deeply ingrained into her systems!

The Creator tried again, only to get the same result. He groaned and gave up on it for now as Earth was starting to wake up.

The Creator: Ah, you're finally awake! Good morning, sweetheart.

Earth: ....Oh....hello father. I uh, I feel different...

The Creator: Well of course you feel different, you're in a new body. I saved you from near death, Earth.

Earth: W-Well, yes I can see that, but I feel....a different...kind of different.

Earth's eyes become covered up in a shadow like in an anime, only her mouth being visible.

The Creator: Oh I'm sure it's nothing big for you to worry abou...Earth?

Earth's mouth appears to be dripping with an inky black colored drool, her eyes glowing a red color under the shadows covering them.

Earth: ....Father...forgive me...!

Without much time to react, The Creator gets tackled and pinned down hard by Earth despite being a giant floating brain. His form keeps getting more and more crushed as Earth ends up chomping into him. He yowls as he definitely feels the damage to his frontal lobe, struggling to get out a comprehensible order for one of his drones to shut Earth down.

It's not much longer before The Creator becomes nothing but a splatter of brain matter and blood on the floor, some of which covering Earth's mouth.

Earth: ....Father....

Earth looks down at her hands, flexing them. Her expression is cold as she gets to her feet. They wipe their mouth with their arm then lick the blood and brain matter off.

Earth: ....I don't....regret that....the hunger stopped...

Earth appears to grow a set of fangs as the red glow of her eyes become more intense.

Earth: I wonder what Monty's blood would taste like~!!

Earth's eyes stop glowing for a moment, cringing at themself for even saying that.

Earth: No, no! Why would I even consider that?! I'm not BloodMoon!

Earth's stomach growls, causing her to groan and crumble to their knees. The hunger came back in a more intense way.

Earth: What's wrong with me? What did...Luna...what did they do to me...?

Earth's eyes flash between their normal blue color and the crimson red glowing color of before.

Earth: I need....I need to hide this from them, they can't know...they can't know!

Earth struggles, but they get back to their feet and start stumbling out of the now completely dead Creator's lab, clutching her stomach as the hunger kept increasing. It wouldn't hurt them if they...stopped to eat something on the way, right...?

#fnaf sb au #sams au #tsams au #tsams earth #btw Luna's K.I.L.L.C.O.D.E. mutation is infectious so yes they have the equivalent of a zombie virus :)#tsams creator #sams creator

I can now do piracy on the TV and actually properly enjoy the films :3

#father got me an hdmi connector for the tablet so now I can share the screen with the tv #and don't have to worry about getting a virus on my laptop because of some shady website or link #had a malware virus once and that was so annoying I never want to deal with that again #my father had to wipe the whole thing after it became clear that that was the only option to deal with that it was such an act #and my laptop is too important for me to risk that #so I always do piracy stuff on the tablet because the chances of catching something there are less high #speaking of #the girl in math class next to me has tonsillitis and she still came to school and didn't even wear a mask because she though #*thought #“well we're barely doing anything anyways so I might as well go'' Girl thats the reasoning you give to not come #at leasf weat a bloody mask those things are infectious I don't want to deal with your viruses #is that the plural? viruses?#anyways I can watch movies proper now isn't that nice :D #i wanted to test it and got distracted and now I'm in a bit of a dilemma because I want to keep watching but it's the afternoon and that's #not the right time to watch movies #thats an evening way to pass the time

Monkeypox is Not COVID-19

It is a rare disease closely related to smallpox, caused by a virus in the same genus that includes the variola virus responsible for smallpox. But it is not smallpox either. Monkeypox is less contagious, with milder symptoms and, until recent reports, almost entirely limited to regions of Central Africa.

Since early May, more than 250 cases of monkeypox have been detected in Europe and North America. The first confirmed case in the United States was in Massachusetts on May 18 involving a person who had recently traveled to Canada. A suspected case of monkeypox was reported May 24 in Sacramento, the first in California, in a person who had recently returned from a trip to Europe.

Monkeypox cases in the U.S. are not unprecedented. They occasionally pop up, usually involving travelers from West or Central Africa. What is more unusual this time is that small outbreaks of monkeypox are occurring concurrently in countries where the virus is quite rare. What concerns health officials are two still-unanswered questions: Are the known cases somehow related? Is monkeypox spreading elsewhere undetected?

These questions are the focus of current public health investigations.

But that said, monkeypox does not pose the same public health threat or risk as other infectious diseases. First, it’s a known quantity, with established tools to prevent and treat it. In fact, there is already an FDA-approved vaccine for monkeypox called Jynneos, and because of its similarities, it’s believed that existing smallpox vaccines, including Tembexa, a vaccine based on original research conducted at UC San Diego, may also be effective.

Immunity to smallpox is protective against monkeypox, though vaccinations against smallpox have grown increasingly rare. (In 1980, smallpox was declared officially eradicated in humans; the last naturally occurring case was reported in 1977.)

Monkeypox gets its name from its discovery in 1958 in laboratory monkeys, though scientists suspect rodents are the primary carriers of the virus in the wild. It is typically transmitted through close contact with infected animals, such as an animal bite, scratch, bodily fluids, feces or by consuming meat not thoroughly cooked.

Human-to-human transmission is rare, requiring skin-to-skin contact with an infected person displaying active symptoms. “Bottom line,” said Francesca Torriani, MD, professor of clinical medicine in the Division of Infectious Diseases and Global Public Health at UC San Diego School of Medicine and program director of Infection Prevention and Clinical Epidemiology at UC San Diego Health, “if you are getting nice and cozy with someone, please look at their skin before engaging in sexual activities. If they have boils or vesicles, think monkeypox. The same is valid for saunas or Turkish baths or places where the bare skin or mucosae can come in contact with the environment, which in any case is the recommendation with COVID-19 numbers rising again.”

Monkeypox tends to be self-limiting, with symptoms appearing on average six to 13 days after exposure and persisting for two to four weeks. People who get sick commonly experience a fever, headache, back and muscle aches, swollen lymph nodes and general exhaustion. They may also develop a painful rash characteristic of poxviruses, beginning with flat red marks that become raised and fill with pus. The rash can start on the face, hands, feet, inside of the mouth or on the genitals, spreading to the rest of the body.

Once the pustules scab over, usually within two to four weeks, the person is no longer infectious.

Children and persons with underlying immune deficiencies are more susceptible to severe outcomes, but monkeypox is rarely fatal. In recent times, according to the World Health Organization, the case fatality ratio has been 3 to 6 percent.

PSA if you live in an area where the temperature is dropping and you get sick every time it's cold out and you think you're sick because of the cold, you're wrong, drink some water your throat will feel better.

#if you feel sick its probably a common cold virus which there are countless varients of #and while its true that colds are more common in colder temperatures #its theorized that that is largely because people are inside more and closer to one another during cold months #not because cold weather=cold virus #cold weather≠cold virus #if your throat hurts its probably because cold air doesn't evaporate water like warm air does so its typically dryer #drink water #your problems will be solved #infectious diseases are not caused by temperature #please for the love of god stop saying that #sincerely an epidemiology student

“If you live in a rich country, you’re probably not going to get cholera from drinking water. The state accepts the responsibility of waterborne disease elimination as an obvious duty”

Institutional COVID denial has killed public health as we knew it. Prepare to lose several centuries of progress

Learned a cool thing about proteins last week and it concerned cannibalism and I was like oh would Hannibal get mad cow disease too

#it's long to explain but it comes from a misfolded protein that has this fucking awsome power of infecting without having infectious agents #it's wrong but it's stable and it makes every other protein wrong #and it can come from a genetic mutation but it's very rare #the main transmission comes from ingesting brains of an infected subject #it can be a cow or a sheep (cows got it from sheeps) but humans got it from cannibalism and use of hormones and cornea transplants #first then when the mad cow disease spread scientists started to figure out how it worked #it's really interesting actually what a misfolding can do #and misfolding always happens in general #i mean that misfolding of that particular protein is rare but the interesting part is how it infects without being like. a virus

clonally transmissible cancers really screw with my head. like, some dog was just vibing thousands of years ago, then it got cancer and one of its cancerous cells was like “you know, I’m sick of this multicellular organism bullshit, I’m becoming a deadly, immortal, free-living parasite.” and it did

#to be clear i’m talking about cancers that are themselves transmissible #like not through a virus or anything #the tumor itself is the infectious agent #there’s only like 3 or 4 and I think they affect dogs and hamsters and Tasmanian devils??#but anyway they’re nuts #thoughts of wren
