hii! what are the effects of prolonged tachycardia with fluctuating bpm ranging from 140-160 for around 30 minutes to a conscious patient? will it cause any brain damage?

The short answer is basically nothing and no.

Tachycardia is any heart rate above 100 in an adult. There are several different kinds of tachycardia, including sinus tachycardia, paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia, atrial fibrillation with RVR, and ventricular tachycardia. Whether the tachycardia is bad for a person has to do with what kind of tachycardia it is, what the heart rate is, and how long the person is in that rhythm.

The first one we'll talk about is sinus tachycardia. Sinus tachycardia is a normal physiological response to the body's demand for more oxygen and nutrients. Sinus tach happens when someone has a fever, is dehydrated, has blood loss, is in shock, or is having a strong emotional response.

It's one of those things that doesn't need treated in and of itself, though figuring out and treating the cause is important. Once the cause is treated, the heart rate usually drops back down to normal.

There are also times when you intentionally bring the heart rate up above 100- for example, exercise. This is also considered sinus tachycardia. When you exercise, you want your heart rate to be in a target zone, which depending on age can be anywhere from 75-170bpm (the younger you are, the higher the target heart rate).

In the case of exercise, a heart rate of 140-160bpm for a half hour would be completely reasonable. In the case of dehydration or shock, you'd really need to fix the problem, but the heart rate itself isn't going to hurt anyone under about 60 who is otherwise healthy.

Paroxysmal Supraventricular Tachycardia (PSVT) is a condition in which the heart rate randomly increases into the high 100s-low 200s. This heart rate is so fast that the heart doesn't have time to fill with blood in between beats. Because of this, not as much blood is getting out of the heart to the brain and body, which means the person may feel faint, short of breath, or dizzy or even pass out.

People in PSVT may spontaneously convert back into a normal rhythm, or they may need a drug called adenosine given to change them back to a normal rhythm. Adenosine works kind of like a defibrillator- it briefly stops the heart in order to let it restart normally. If this happens frequently, someone may need an ablation- a procedure in which parts of the heart muscle that are causing the rapid heart rate are burned to permanently prevent future attacks.

In order to understand atrial fibrillation with RVR, you have to understand how the heart initiates beats normally. In the heart there are cells in a place called the SA pacemaker node, which send out small electrical signals that work to coordinate a beat across all the cells in the heart.

In atrial fibrillation, lots of cells outside this node try to initiate beats, which causes the top half of the heart to quiver. If a lot of these "beats" get through to the bottom of the heart, that's called Rapid Ventricular Response, or RVR. Afib RVR causes a rapid, irregular heart rate.

Afib RVR can cause the same problem as PSVT- namely that it causes the heart to beat so fast it can't refill with blood in between beats. Usually the first few times this happens the person converts out to a normal rhythm within about a week (or can be converted out with defibrillation or medications). Later this state can become permanent and has to be managed with medications that reduce the heart rate and blood thinners to prevent strokes and heart attacks, which happen because blood gets stuck and clots in the quivering upper part of the heart.

The last one, ventricular tachycardia, is the most dangerous because if not treated it can either become so fast virtually no blood is coming out of the heart (cardiac arrest) or become another dangerous rhythm called ventricular fibrillation (also cardiac arrest, but even worse).

This one is a life-threatening emergency and needs to be treated immediately with CPR (if the person is unconscious) defibrillation and medications.

This was a lot to answer your question, but all this to say that if your person is running 140s-160s because they're working out for a half hour, they're totally fine. If they're 140s-160s because of PSVT they're not fine but they're probably going to convert out of it with a medication or just time. If they're 140s-160s in RVR they're probably uncomfortable and need medical attention but they'll probably be alright. If they're in ventricular tachycardia, they need emergency care.

Of these, the only one that could really cause brain damage is the ventricular tachycardia, but it would have to be a lot faster than 140-160.

Headcanon - Briar's Biology

Putting this under a read-more because it's kinda gross to talk about body-stuff, and IDK what to tag it as???

Briar has 4 "main" organs that functionally work the same as any normal humanoid being.

Brain

There's nothing too significant in terms of difference. Though the physical brain is nearly identical to any human if someone were to do a brain-scan on her, various parts of her brain would not send off signals anything like humanoids might. Various parts of her brain are more active and it would be entirely different from any other person or any kind of normal reading one might get.

Confirmed, Briar does have a brain Thoughts may happen, be warned

Lungs + Heart

These organs are vital to Briar and they also take up more space than a normal humanoid. They are what takes up a lot of space that other organs may occupy but this also is because they tend to work 2x as hard as any other humanoid.

The heart especially has a very rapid heartbeat that to others might cause a heart attack but to Briar it is normal. While a human's resting heart rate may be at 60-100 BPM, Briar's heart runs more akin to 140-180 BPM, and rapidly accelerates to 200-280 BPM while in frenzy. She requires this rapid heart beat as her body rapidly burns through any food and energy she has and the oxygen she needs to do so is a lot.

Stomach

Who needs intestines? A bladder? kidneys? Briar doesn't.

Her body is more akin to a carnivore only with a much larger stomach taking up the space that a liver, kidneys, pancreas, and other organs that help with digestion would go. Due to this she can eat *a lot more* than normal people. She also produces a stomach acid so powerful that very little is indigestible.

If what she eats is made from organic material she can break it down, though if it's not meat her body will burn the energy to get nothing back. If the materials are made of non-organic material or rocks/metals/ect then she normally will throw it up later, or have really fucking bad indigestion as her body can't process it.

For the most part, Briar doesn't leave any waste that needs to be disposed of from her body. As such she rarely uses the restroom or has to, only in cases she eats something her body can't break down. Of which those times can be extremely unpleasant.

Reproductive System!

While I had not drawn it, Briar does have, somewhat of a female reproductive system. Her uterus and ovaries are very underdeveloped and in the case of her ovaries, they are non-existent.

It is impossible to get Briar pregnant as her body does not produce the hormones, or have the right organs or even an egg to fertilize, and her body would self-cannibalize anything that was to try and attach to her innards. She does still have a vagina because who would make a golem who can't fuck/j

Disease!

Another thing I didn't draw is how her body deals with disease.

Briar's body self-cannibalizes a lot. To the point, it's why she is so underweight despite still having eaten so much. Most of the time the body does not eat away at muscle, but it will eat anything and everything else. Fats, invasive diseases, anything that isn't Briar, her body will consume in it's own, weird biological way.

This means that Briar can't die from disease, many diseases are built to infect and impact humanoids. While Briar does have some organs that are similar to humanoids, she doesn't possess anything that actually can be concretely affected. Her immune system is always on the attack, and her body is always burning energy in some way or another. No disease can survive in her body. Virus, bacteria, and anything that enters her body are eaten.

rrrobyn - Variant (January 2023) Dubstep was my first love and i started DJing as soon as i heard the first Vex’d and Milanese beats on Mary Anne Hobbs show back in 2004. So it’s pretty obvious that i sill check what’s going on in the 140 bpm sector and i am very happy that there’s still plenty of producers who keep the genre alive and interesting. So for my latest mix i decided to mix up my favourite tunes that i collected over the past months. Somethig a bit different at this tempo, so expect some grime, drill, hip hop influenced beats and of course a hint of wave. https://hearthis.at/r0byn/rrrobyn-variantjan23/ Tracklist:

TMSV - Complex Flashback

RSD - Kingfisher (Sylla & Sam Binga VIP)

Akcept - Always Bittersweet

If you have heard of anything like this, know what it's called, have experienced anything like this, or know of any solutions, please reply.

I don't even care if you have solutions, just knowing that I am not the only one who deals with this would be amazing.

I have very severe adhd, narcolepsy, and complex trauma. I know all 3 of these things work together to worsen each other. I am very medicated for the adhd and narcolepsy (same type of meds for both, I'm on the maximum available dose of 2 seperate stimulants and they only work until around 4pm if I'm lucky for the adhd, and 11am for the narcolepsy). I have achieved very significant burnout, and really only learned that willpower for the most part doesn't fix adhd symptoms after I already ran out of all of it. I can't take more medications, and it's not really safe for me to be on as much as I am and it's affecting my heart and my doctors are trying to figure out how to lower doses without causing other problems (During the day, my resting heart rate is usually between 100 and 120 bpm, some days with resting heart rate as high as 140 bpm, plus I have pre-POTS syndrome that is being encouraged by the high dose of meds to begin developing into full POTS).

For the most part, things I enjoy doing I can fairly easily get done and focus on without any issues, which is common for adhd.

I am a college student, and I am really struggling to get my brain to do assignments as what I've been told is a combo of adhd and narcolepsy symptoms will cause me to get completely stuck in distractions for several hours (I will recognize that I am distracted, but I can't seem to make my body and brain quit, with any attempts leading to full body muscle locking up). If I'm not stuck in a distraction I will get stuck trying to get my brain to do schoolwork, or really any productive thing, and my brain and body just won't and I will end up in a stare off between me and the work I'm trying to do, unable to move or switch to trying to do anything else because the second I try all my muscles will lock up and I physically won't be able to move. The record length for that has been 6 hours straight.

There is nothing I want to do more than to be able to get what I need to do done. I've researched everything I can and asked my doctors what to do, and I haven't found many answers that I haven't already tried to no avail before.

I get incredibly stressed out by the fact I can't move to get work done, which makes the problem worse and increases the locking-up. I am on anxiety meds to try and help to no avail, they just help with anxiety during all the other times of day. It's also very hard to explain to other people and get them to believe me, especially when it comes to most doctors and therapists and school admin and professors. This is made worse by the fact that I am academically extremely intelligent and usually can complete assignments in the few hours my brain is willing to work and have a 4.0 GPA.

My family and friends have tried to help as much as possible and have been as understanding as they can be given none of us have ever heard of something like this. When possible they will try to be in the room with me when I try to do work as that seems to help some, and I've tried to go to public places like coffee shops to help myself, but even that is slowly starting to not work anymore. Many things I've tried work for a short time, and then the effects wear off.

My room is in a state of disarray (I live with my parents and commute to college) in spite of my best efforts to keep it clean because I can't bring myself to clean most of the time. It's also hard for me to shower regularly because it is a sensory struggle for my brain, making it all the harder to get it to let me do. (I do have moderate to severe chronic pain, which also plays into some of this, although a lot is inability to bring myself to do things).

I also struggle to remember to consistently take medications outside of my adhd and narcolepsy meds, as I don't have any instant results if I don't take them (or even any result for a few days of forgetting), with the exception for my adhd and narcolepsy meds. I have tried alarms, reminders, notes, tying it to other habits, putting them where you would think I couldn't miss them, and even have had other people message me to try and help me remember.

I don't have depression, I've been tested many times and none of the times have come back saying I do, and even if I did, I can't go on SSRI medications as when I was on a very low dose of them for anxiety for a short time, I actually temporarily became depressed and anxiety actually increased, and later I found out that somehow I ended up with a genetic mutation that neither of my parents have that causes me to not respond well to those medications.

I have tried alarms, reminders, timers, trying to trick my brain into liking what I need to do, rewarding myself for doing what I need to (although I struggle with impulsivity and stopping myself from rewarding myself before I get the reward because that requires willpower), utilizing other people when possible, trying to just do it, and lists. Exercise is one of those things that is very difficult for me given the chronic pain and that my brain won't do that either. I've also tried to do everything I could find on the internet on recovering from burnout with adhd, and even without adhd, but I have run into problems in that those solutions seem to require at least a little bit of willpower, of which I already had completely ran out of before I knew that I was burnt out.

Also, eliminating distractions doesn't work since I can still get stuck in the stare off with my work, and I will quite literally get distracted by a speck on the wall (I have been distracted by that very thing more times than I can count).

The worst part about it is, it often feels like I'm not trying hard enough and I could just will myself to do work, yet when I try, I can't. This is not even taking into consideration how many people (including most doctors and therapists i've tried) have told me things like "Just do it", "you aren't trying hard enough", and "why can't you just get it done so its over with?". There is nothing I want more than to do what I need to get done, and I have spent countless nights crying over that very thing.

If you have heard of anything like this, know what it's called, have experienced anything like this, or know of any solutions, please reply. I don't even care if you have solutions, just knowing that I am not the only one who deals with this would be amazing. I quite literally have no where else to turn to except for a few social media sites in the hopes that someone here knows what I'm dealing with or at least can confirm I'm not alone in this. Doctors and therapists have failed me over and over and over again, no one else knows what I'm talking about, and I've researched everything I know to research.

SVT was misdiagnosed as anxiety/panic attacks for years. I'm afraid it's hurt my heart. Anyone with SVT, how long did you go before they finally caught in on EKG? Will I be the same again?

I'm a female 30 years old. I pretty suddenly about 5 years ago started getting these extremely fast heart racing episodes (thought it was panic attacks induced from smoking pot, because it started happening everytime I smoked, even though I was a long time 10+ years pot smoker at that point and never had SVT episodes before) and around the same time I actually suffered a concussion. This concussion was also misdiagnosed at first as panic attacks/ anxiety, even psychosis (I thought I was going crazy, feelings I had was never like anything I've felt before and they really sucked, I even quit my job at the time because I just couldn't even see straight) until I convinced a Dr to give me an MRI and CT scan of my brain, which resulted in evidence my brain was healing from a concussion, a week and a half after the fact. During the concussion my svt episodes became worse (still thought it was anxiety/panic attacks so didn't call 911) but I was able to get them to stop after learning how to on my own (bearing down/trying to take deep breaths and holding them slightly) until it became harder and harder to rid them. After 2 1/2 weeks, I woke up one day finally feeling normal out of nowhere. It was like a miracle. Except svt episodes still occured. Still thinking it was just panic attacks, I thought really nothing of it.

Fast forward to 3 weeks ago, I got an episode I couldn't stop. This scared me so much, I was in svt for about 30 mins and called EMT, telling them I couldn't get my "heart palpitations" to stop. I originally thought they were heart palpitations caused by anxiety (cause that's what they always told me) until the EKG of 230 bpm proved otherwise and paramedics said I'll probably have to be on heart meds or have ablation. This is where I learned svt was even a thing. They had to shoot me with adenasine 3 times to get it to stop (6mg, 12mg and 12mg) and that was so dreadfully scary, but also relieved when it stopped... Weirdest feeling ever. They asked if I had a history of anxiety, which I do, and said this is why it was misdiagnosed for years.

I realize now I've had countless episodes. It used to be a few times a week, sometimes I'd go a week or 2 without episodes, but never a full month I don't think. I guesstimate about 50+ svt attacks in the last 5 years. It got to the point where I can't do any cardio excersize without an episode. Chest pains that I thought was anxiety, was probably angina this whole time, and it's happened a lot.

I'm seeing a cardiologist for my first time on the 13th (soonest appt I can get thanks Kaiser) and my primary put me on propranolol 10mg twice a day and still get flutters almost everyday. Thinking about taking it three times a day now. I was 3 weeks without an episode until the other night, caused by me simply riding my shopping cart to my car like a skateboard (I know silly something I've always done tho) and it's crazy that just that short and very little of excersize was enough to set it off. I didn't have my medication on me, and home was 30 mins away, and even tho I wasn't really in full svt, perhaps from the propranolol (maybe 150 bpm as opposed to 230 bpm that was recorded on EKG before) I was still about to have a bout and my anxiety was thru the roof. I took my propranolol as soon as I got thru the door and called 911, and thankfully it subsided as the paramedics got to me. They did an EKG to make sure (I was at 98bpm but irregular beat) and 10 minutes later I was back to regular heartbeat and 80 bpm, blood pressure was a bit high though (140/something)

I quit cigs (smoked since I was 17), pot (smoked since I was 15) and even coffee, I used to drink about 2 cups everyday for years. I pretty much quit all cold turkey just from being scared of SVT. My grandma died at 68 of a heart attack (probably from smoking cigs, which did a toll her to after she beat breast cancer not long before I'm sure) and my dad died 2 1/2 years ago from a heart attack as well, but he didn't smoke cigs for more than 10 years of his life (quit when he was 30), he was 59 when he died. He was a chronic pot smoker his whole life however and hbp but refused to take meds (as a pharmacy tech now, I'm mad at myself for not making him take his meds, as they might have saved his life).

I don't know if I'm just ranting at this point, or really want to try and find someone I can relate with on this matter and if my heart might heal. Will I ever dance again? I love dancing but I'm so afraid of SVT now. Will ablation be my only option? I actually really want it, the propranolol gives me horrible vivid dreams every single night, but will doctor just keep trying different meds until I don't get episodes anymore? The thing is, I don't wan to "wait and see", I want ablation more than meds but afraid doctor will just try everything before ablation is on the table. Is having 50+ svt episodes enough to consider me for ablation? I know most say svt is benign but I'm afraid it's not in me... My heart feels weaker than ever and I'm only 30. Has anyone had this many episodes and are fine now? I really need to know...

Audio

When I think of my memories with Ian, there is one very obvious choice. It was the bane of our existence for many weeks of Andy's music trivia at Squirrel Tooth Alice's until we finally learned our lesson. I would be extremely surprised if someone from our trivia team hasn't chosen Gerry Rafferty's Baker Street, but if they haven't it is certainly worth a mention. I will never forget that song. Nor will I forget Raphael Ravenscroft, the saxophonist on the track, and a piece of useless information we never got the opportunity to flex over the other teams.

But this is not my choice.

I'm going to go a bit deeper.

Hanging out with Ian over the years profoundly influenced my consumption of media. He introduced me to many of my now-favourite tv shows and actors, but most importantly, challenged my musical ideals. I always had an interest in music, with fairly broad knowledge for someone in my twenties, but when we met I was definitely in the metal phase of my life, and honestly, kind of pretentious about it. Over the years hanging out with Ian, though, I was challenged to appreciate the simplicity of the structure of a pop song, to appreciate nuance in an indie record, and to look for something more in music.

Something I consider a major turning point in my life (musically), was the time we went to see Godspeed You! Black Emperor at Lee's Palace in 2011. At the time, I was vaguely familiar with their existence. I had heard of them before. Heard a (part of a) track sometime before their hiatus. Didn't get it. Moved on. I don't remember exactly what it was that sold me on the idea to go see a band that plays weird experimental ambient sounds arranged into tracks ranging from 10 to 25 minutes in length but I'm quite certain it had something to do with Ian telling me that someone would be playing a guitar with a screwdriver. I didn't really know what to expect. I was used to long tracks, this wasn't new, but what I wasn't used to were patient tracks.

After the (very confusing for an) opener, the band came out on stage. The visuals appeared first, and then the quiet, reserved drone of the cello, or double bass, I'm not sure which. I was intrigued. It felt like an orchestra, tuning their instruments in unison before some grandiose production; like there was something massive just around the corner. It was like that, but if time had been slowed to 1/32 of the speed so you could see each individual piece being added to the puzzle. It was somehow both nothing and everything at the same time. There was a sense of harmony to the cacophony; a vague glimmer of melody in something outwardly random. The build was slow and enduring. It was at least 10 minutes before the drums came in but by that point, I was completely engrossed.

I don't know when it was over the course of the night, and it may well have been when they played Moya, but I remember there was one point when the music completely overtook my body. The drone of the bass filled my chest, while the sustained melody of the strings swirled around my head. The melody intensified. And then the drums came in. Crescendo. Building volume, speed, and intensity to levels that felt completely impalpable. And this is where I broke. Stone sober on the dance floor at Lee's, with tears in my eyes, feeling my heart swell to the peak, and then break.

That was the first time I ever had such an intense emotional response to music, and it is an experience that I treasure deeply. It opened up my eyes (and ears) to what music could be. Even now that half of my life revolves around electronic music ranging from 130-140 bpm I always find listening to the slow, gradual drone and build of a GY!BE record to center and ground me. That show taught me what music could be, and allowed me to embrace those emotions. Now, in my mid-30s, I have the time and resources to follow those feels leading me to a community of passionate, energetic, and joyful globe-trotting, musical euphoria-seekers.

So, Ian, in some vague, esoteric way, your influence turned me into a 35-year-old raver crying on dance floors in clubs and warehouses all over the world, and I am so grateful.

Happy 40th Birthday Ian!

—Anna Middleton

Hello. Firts story here. Sorry for the broken english. So sky is 24 and ras is 19. It was night. Rasazy was still awake because of the thunder and decides to walk around the church. She walk around every corner. Infront of sarv and ruv's room,and also the room of his brother selever. She really loves her brother sel and often would go sleep in his room. She got closer and closer to the church's door and all of the sudden she hears soft sobs.

She walk even closer and opens the door. She sees a girl crying silently in the storm she walks closer to her:

Ras: hello there

Sky: huh? H-hi

She lifts her head up and looks at ras. Suddently both of them start felling something weird in their chest's and start to blush

Ras: what are you doing here in the rain?

Sky: i-i don't have a place to stay

Ras: if you want you can sleep in my church.

Sky: you h-have a church?

Ras:well tecnically it's my mom's church

Sky:if there is space for me then i whould love to.

Ras: follow me.

She brings her in the church and opens her room door

Sky: wow there is sure a lot of space in here.

Ras:thank you

She takes a towel and dryes the girls hair.

Sky:thank you... Em what's your name?

Ras: rasazy. Ras for short

Sky: oh i never Heard of that name before. I'm sky

Ras: nice to meet you

Ras open her wardrobe and takes out one of her pj

Ras: here. It's too small for me

Sky:thank you-Achu!

Ras:oh it looks like you got a cold.

Sky: well i've been sitting in the rain for hours obviously i have a cold look i'm still shaking.

Ras:come on then. Let's go to sleep

They get into bed

Sky:wow your so warm...

Ras:like it?

Sky:yes-Achu!

Ras looks at the half-aspleep girl and feel heart beating hard in her chest

Ras:...

Meanwhile sky is asleep but ras is still awake because of her heart.

Ras:s-stay silent! She wispers hoping to not wake up the peacefully sleeping girl Who is now making soft snores.

After what felt like hours ras falls asleep too and wakes up at 3:56

Ras:ugh... I hate waking up during the night...

Ras was slowly compleatly waking up and start feeling something weird...

Ras:damn it. Why always at the worse times?

Ras opened her wardrobe careful not to wake up sky and takes a white box she opens it to reveal a lot of medical eqipment. She grabs a stetoscope and starts listening her heart. She sits on the bed and start masturbating covering her mouth with her hand.

She is afraid that she might wake up sky but that only turns her on more. After a few minutes of fun she puts away the stuff and gets right back to bed.

She hugs sky even if she has a strong heartbeat and wakes her up

Sky:mmmn...so cute...

She leans in and start listening carefully at her heart

Ras:"wait. Did she just said that she finds my heart cute?

Could she be...? No. A lot of people find heartbeats cute."

After a while ras falls asleep again.

They wake up toghether at 9:59

Ras:pretty late

Sky:thank you

Ras:for what

Sky:what do you mean for what? For yesterday

Ras:oh no prob

Sky:anyway i think i'm going Home now

Ras: wait!

Sky:? Yes?

Ras: could you give me your number?

Sky:sure it's 924 555 909

Ras:thank you

Sky:your Welcome.

Sky goes away

Ras: well it's a new day. Let's see what i have to do...

She looks into her list

Ras:oh no... It's today?

Ras looks and sees today she has to confess to her brother sel that she has a fetish

So she slowly heads into his room

She opens the door

Ras: sel?

Sel: oh hi ras. Didn't see you there.

Ras:...

Sel:what's wrong? You look anxius.

Ras:selever listen i have to tell you something very important. So please listen

Sel: sure what is it?

Ras hands start to shake and some tears fall from her eyes

Sel:Whoa! Ras hey don't cry!

Sel hugs ras

Sel:i'm right here. It' ok you

know you can tell me anything right? i will love you no matter what.

Ras: you p-promise?

Sel:i promise.

Ras stops crying after a few minutes. And sits on the bed

Sel:so what Did you want to say?

Ras:...

Ras was still pretty unconfortable talking about her fetish but she says it anyway

Ras: i... I have a fetish.

Sel:really?

Ras: *nods*

Sel:what kind of fetish?

Ras:h-heart f-fetish

Sel:oh so this turns you on?

Sel sits up grabs her hand and puts it on his chest.

Ras: y-yes...

Sel: that's cute

Ras: sel. Everyone calls this fetish cute. Maybe it is at first but it turns dark in a matter of seconds

Sel:oh~ so you want to open me up and look at my heart?

Ras:well yes but im not gonna do it.

Sel: obviously your not gonna open me lol

Ras: i want to show you someting

Sel:ok

Ras:follow me

Ras leads her brother in her room opens her wardrobe and takes the white box

Ras:i-i want you to open it. A-and please don't judge me

Sel opens the box and finds her sister's "toys"

Sel:wow how Did you get them

Ras:i stole them that time i was at the hospidal.

Sel:oh so you do have some criminal blood in ya.

Ras giggles when she Heard that.

Ras: i guess

Sel: you know ras? I'm happy that you told me.

Ras:why?

Sel: because that means you trust me

Ras: of course i do.

Sel:i'm going back in my room now. If you want to do some action with me it's fine

Ras:oh ok bye

Sel: bye

Ras is very happy that her brother didn't insult her or something.

All of the sudden she remembers sky. She knows she is in love. But she is afraid that she might hate her if she ever told her

Some months go by. Ras keeps tetxing her and sometimes goes for a walk with her. But latetly she's been getting some anxiety because she is afarid that Sky might not accept her confession or hate her because of her fetish.

She often goes to her brothers room to get some confort and one time she was in her brothers room he says something weird

Sel: ras listen i know you have anxiety because of the situation but i think it's better if you start talking with other people. Like mom or dad. I'm not always here for you ras. I'm sorry...

Ras:that's... Very mature. I'm going to talk with mom

Sel: ok good luck

Ras starts walking around the church to find sarvente after a few minutes she finds her.

Ras: hey mom

Sarv: hello dear how are you?

Ras:i'm fine but i need to tell you something.

Sarv: what is it

Ras: i'm in love...

Sarv: really!? That's so beautiful! With Who?

That was the question she was afraid her mom could ask. Since she is very religious she's afraid that she dosen't like gay people

Ras:...

Sarv:come on~ tell me!

Ras: w-with a girl mom...p-please don't hate me...

Sarv smile became from happy to confused

Sarv:i could never hate you dear. Your my daughter and i love you no matter what.

Ras started crying tears of joy

Ras: t-thank you *sob* mom

Sarv:it's ok. It's sky the girl your in love with?

Ras:yes.

Sarv: i knew it. Every time somebody mentioned her your eyes would light up and you would start talking about her non-stop even ruv knows your in love

Ras:i'm glad.

Sarv: how about you confess her?

Ras:i'm afraid she would hate me

Sarv: come on. Why would she hate you?

Ras:You're right.

Sarv: go talk to her ok?

Ras:ok

Ras goes upstairs and to selevers room

Ras:guees whaat?

Sel:what?

Ras:tomorrow i'm going to confess!

Sel:finally! When your finished tell me how it went

Ras:ok

Tomorrow comes fast and ras texts sky

The Time Goes On / Thomas and Jinwoo

The Time Goes On by BewhY

Tic Toc.. Tic Toc..

Some time had passed since Jinwoo had last seen this particular presence in his life. He wouldn’t say Thomas and him had had a ‘relationship,’ more like acquaintanceship. Their first and second meeting, honestly, had been nothing but negative. Once Namjoon stepped it, the event accidentally created the most ill-fated trio. That fight still left a bad memory and a bitter taste in his mouth. Yet Jinwoo had been in a particular mood as of late, taking these bad thoughts and putting them to song therapeutically.

I use my imperfection as the creator's symphony Using me to write amazing history Perhaps all of this is not my story, but his story

It had been a long time since his fingers danced so expertly across the keyboard keys. Each chord was pressed with a certainty and speed about them as he subjected them to memory. It was turning out quite beautiful but the musical masterpiece wasn’t complete, and he was becoming restless.

The time goes on and on and on.

His thoughts were running quick, now with a hitting bass drum and matching the 140 bpm of the song itself. He needed lyrics. He needed a reference. He needed.. the source material.

The next time he met Thomas should have been led with a well-meant comment, perhaps an apology. This was a bad idea. He could forget this song and turn around- no need to start drama. But no, Jinwoo was a special case. Besides, he was starting to get used to the taste of maple syrup. “Quick, Thomas. Say something- anything!”

Day 1 of HOME ZERO; #FULL BODY EXPERIENCE

Pre Pre

Found Natacha’s channel thanks to another Youtube channel (someone was reviewing Natacha’s yum yum habits) a few months ago. I have liked her vibe and decided to subscribe especially since she didn’t seem to be recommending any of the usual ‘clean’ eating mindset that most of fitness gurus do. Yes, it was important to me and still is and my relationship with food is really too complicated so the fact that I found someone who just makes things easy and non toxic in any way is amazing.

Day 0 (aka Tuesday)

I have bought Natacha Oceane’s HOME RELOAD (yes, you are reading right) and I have figured while indulging myself in eating in the .... well basically everything I could get my hands on (because reading all these COVID news are not really inviting healthy coping mechanics); that I am not sure why I am waiting till Monday to get started with HOME ZERO (yes, bought second program before even starting first one, I must be a genius)... and while looking around the AFLETE app I felt excitement and I am the type to just ‘go for it’ if I really wanna do it.

My mindset and surrounding stuff

Current Relationship with food: It is still super complicated (I am clearly on binge side). I have read the nourishing ebook Natacha attached to the app and used the calculator thingie (with a bit of fear as I tend to get obsessive) and it said I am supposed to be eating 2020 kcal (34 y o; 165 cm, +-58kg). That has mentally stopped me as - well; according to it I must be undereating. I have decided to give it a chance (even if I am terrified of gaining further weight) and actually track my food throughout. LET’S MAKE IT SCIENCE. As of wednesday I live in tier 3 (means I am out of job until Tier 2 comes back, if you are confused check out UK’s COVID rules) I have nothing better to do.

Body health: So far HEALTHY. The only things is that 6 months earlier I got a mysterious kneecap injury and while it is nowwhere near as bad as originally, SOMETIMES - SOMETIMES. SO yeah, Natacha’s plyo jumpin stuff makes me feel very tentative.

Fitness level: During Lockdown 1 - I lost 16 kgs, started practicing yoga (YES! ADRIENE) plus do another normal exercise regime, I got so into it that during lockdown 2 I started using DownDog app (check it out they have the whole range and I LOVE THEM). I was so fit that yesterday I felt super confident with Natacha’s ZERO program and started worrying about it being to easy and me being bored. I also missed saying during last 3 months I have personal trainer with physio background whom I decided to see because of my knee issues.

DAY 1 FINALLY (WEDNESDAY FOR CONFUSED)

I have woken up and measured myself from all sides

(all in cm: upper arm 24; shoulders 96; chest 83; Tummy 79; Hips 84; Thigh 49; Weight: 59; Body Fat% 23.2) I will just keep track of it weekly. No photos because... I am self conscious :)

Then went to work (relevant smh) and I yeah, didn’t think much of the fact that today would be quite fitness relevant. Anyways everyone at work were quite surprised by how strong I am (I mean I realized I moved stuff with ease, that stuff being the one I had issues with beforehand if we are honest)... so yeah, I really thought the program will be super easy especially since I was checking out the exercises and they seemed like a no-brainer.

I came back and then... well, I underestimated the power of Natacha ;).

First of all I had to outsource warm up exercises (she doesn’t provide them, and her ebook recommends so...) - youtube was a go, I went for stuff that doesn’t include jumping and off we gooo...

OKAY. Honestly, I knew my hands are weak. Like I am pretty wide in the shoulders for a girl (I am aware of that lol) so I have always thought something comes with it but naaa. Also. Exercises themselves are a no-brainer ...if you take only one rep and go to next one. If you do as she asks you to - you are stuck doing 12 reps and do it 3/4 times. Honestly 30s to 60s breaks became a blessing after 3rd exercise and my lord and SAVIOUR after 4th. Only one exercise I had to stop every 6 reps and give myself a breath because I just couldn’t and it was not even the one I have thought I would have issues with (spoiler alert: it was plank shoulder tap to sit up). Overall only once in the whole set I thought of stopping and it was then after I was done with it it became easier. Just my arms. UGH. Stretching after also was outsourced (AND VERY NECESSARY).

That being said. I have logged it on my iwatch as functional strength training, it took me an hour and 10 mins roughly t complete and it says I have burnt 210 kcal during that time. During the whole exercise regime my heart rate was anywhere above 100 BPM to 140 BPM in extreme cases. As expected my shoulders are a bit stiff but tomorrow is a Leg Day so that should not really concern me anyways.

As we are super late in the evening now. I have eaten 1800 kcal today and first time in 3 days I cant say I have binged.

Way to prove me that I am not as fit as I thought I am and I am so excited to see where this leads me!

See ya tomorrow, Torpedoes (and if you are on HOME ZERO as well, let me know how you guys are surviving; absolutely no reviews online, I JUST WANNA KNOW WHAT OTHERS THINK).

“Don’t Speak Their Names” - Shrimpshipping fic Chapter 16

This chapter on AO3 can be found here.

Chapter 16 - Anything Else?

~31 August 2005~

“And that concludes my lecture on the formation of the oceans,” Spinos finished. “Be sure to study the notes. Our first test is in three weeks, but that doesn’t mean you should-”

Rex didn’t even let Spinos finish talking before he started running up to the stage. “Wait!” he pushed by the many students who were leaving. “Dad!”

“H-Hello…” Spinos stopped in his tracks.

“You are my dad, aren’t you?” Rex asked when he caught up with Spinos.

“That is correct. I didn’t think this day would ever come, but now that it has…”

“Why, Spinos?” Rex cried. “Why did you have to leave my mom alone? She endured horrible morning sickness all by herself, just to give birth to a kid you didn’t even care about. And all so you could be with some lady friend!”

“I know that there is so much you want to know about me, and where I’ve been the past 19 and a half years. But I want to wait until your mother is here to listen.”

“Well, good luck trying to find her, because even if you did, she wouldn’t want anything to do with you. Anything else?”

“There’s only one favour I ask of you, Rex… My son, please give me a chance. Give me a chance to prove my worth as a father, and to earn the trust of your mother.”

“She was very hurt when you left her, you know? Since you do have a lot of proving to do, you better start now.”

“Very well. When was the last time you were at the doctor’s?”

“About a month ago, not long before school started.”

“Do you know how far along you are?” Spinos gestured towards Rex’s baby bump.

“How did you-”

“I overheard you talking to your mom about it in the hospital, when you were still newly pregnant.”

“...I’m a little more than 5 months.”

“Then it’s important that you get an ultrasound to see how your baby is doing. At this stage, you can not only listen to your baby’s heartbeat through doppler radar, but you can also determine the sex of your baby.”

Rex had never even considered any of these things before. “You know any doctors around here who can do that?”

“Yes. In fact, I am friends with the on-campus doctor who specializes in both family medicine and sonography. I can take you there, if you want.”

“I’ll take you up on your offer, as soon as I call Weevil and tell him to come here. He is the father, you know.”

“Yes, of course.” Spinos waited for Rex to make the call before saying, “Thank you so much for giving me the chance to help not only you, but also my grandchild.”

“...Yeah, sure.”

Rex and Spinos uneasily stood, avoiding each other’s eyes, until Weevil got there. “Hey, hun. Oh, I didn’t know you were friends with Dr. Saurus. I have him in the same block as Amber does.”

“He’s not a friend, he’s my father.”

“What? I mean… uh… P-Pleased to meet you, sir.”

“Likewise.”

Rex didn’t want the situation to turn more awkward, and so he interrupted with, “That’s not the reason I called you here, Weeves. We’re going to get an ultrasound of our baby.”

“I should have thought of the idea sooner… I mean, I would have, but I don’t know of any good doctors around here. But I’m glad I now know of someone who does.” Weevil began to walk with Spinos and Rex in the direction of the clinic.

This campus clinic was a lot larger than Rex thought. He quickly found himself getting lost, but had too much pride to ask the receptionist just where this doctor was. Instead, a man with a long black ponytail and a white lab coat approached him. “Young man, are you lost?”

At this point, Rex was getting tired of walking around. “Yeah. I’m looking for the campus doctor who specializes in sonography.”

“This is he! You’re a shifter, aren’t you?”

“You know about us shapeshifters?”

“Well, I am one. I can transform into Guardian Grarl.”

Aww, I wish I could actually transform into a dinosaur too. “But how could you tell just by looking at me?” Rex asked as the campus doctor beckoned for him to follow him to his office.”

“It isn’t a coincidence that you are intersex. All male shapeshifters are.”

“Really? So does that mean I could get Weevil pregnant? He’s intersex, too?”

“Yes and yes. Though it largely depends. What can you guys transform into?”

“I’m Creepy Coney while he’s Earthbound God Uru.”

“Then you will go into heat far more often than he does. The stronger a shapeshifter, the harder it is for him to get pregnant.” The campus doctor noticed Rex’s frown and started to take his vitals. “But don’t worry, because it’s not impossible! Even though I’m a powerful monster, I am proud to have given birth to three children. ...There. Your vitals are all normal. Have you been experiencing pain, nausea, or other symptoms?”

“I have really bad back pain and swollen ankles sometimes. And I have to go to the bathroom A LOT.”

“That’s fairly normal. For the sake of you both, I highly recommend you do at least some physical activity throughout your pregnancy. Water activities, preferably, so you don’t stress your joints. I also hope you’ve been taking prenatal vitamins.”

“All right! I love to swim! As for the vitamins, my mom made sure to get me started on those as soon as we found out. She also gave me this awesome ginger tea when I still had morning sickness. Not that I have that anymore.”

“That’s good to hear.” The campus doctor finished preparing the fetal doppler and ultrasound device. “Are you ready for the ultrasound?”

Before Rex could say yes, he had just realized that Weevil and Spinos were not there. In fact, they both had come in just then. “Sorry I’m late, doctor. Weevil and I were in the restroom.”

“Ah, Dr. Saurus! Fancy meeting you here. If you need a checkup, it’s going to have to wait until I am done with this young man.”

“‘The young man’ happens to be my son.”

“Even better!”

“And I’m the father of Rex’s child,” spoke Weevil.

“Then you’ve arrived at the perfect time! I’ll do the ultrasound first.”

“Oh. In that case, I better leave you guys alone. I’ll be in the lobby.” So spoke Spinos as he made way for thence.

“Okay, then. Mr. Raptor, was it? Can you lay on this bed and lift up your shirt, please?”

Rex did as he was told. This bed is more comfortable than the one at the hospital, that’s for sure. “Ooh…” He shivered when he felt a cool gel - and a probe - that quickly warmed up. He looked to the ultrasound monitor, and already he could see his unborn child on it. “Well, if that isn’t the cutest thing ever! That’s what’s inside me?”

“How’s he doing, Doctor?” Weevil asked. “Or should I say ‘she?’ ...Wait, we can find out the sex, right?”

“I want to know, too,” spoke Rex.

“Your baby is doing fine,” answered the campus doctor as he pointed out the baby’s heart, limbs, and head.

“Oh my gosh, look at those little feet!” Rex cooed as he pointed at the monitor.

The doctor now switched the ultrasound to 4D mode. “I see no problems at all; she’s doing wonderfully.”

“‘She?’ Do you mean…” Rex began.

“Yup! You’re having a baby girl.”

“Aww…” Rex teared up. “She’s so adorable!”

“I wonder which one of us our daughter is going to look like.” Weevil held his boyfriend’s hand. “And I hope she gets my smarts instead of yours - or rather, lack thereof.”

“Oh, be quiet.” Rex playfully hit Weevil.

The doctor smiled at these parents-to-be. “Last but not least is the doppler radar. It’s a portable one that I’ll send home with you. Mr. Raptor, be sure to check your daughter’s heartbeat from time to time. I’ll show you how to do it.”

Rex normally was horrible at paying attention, but he watched the doctor’s instructions intently. Using the gel from the ultrasound, the doctor took out a much smaller probe. “Unlike the ultrasound, you need to put the doppler probe in very specific spots.” A fairly slow thumping sound could be heard from the radar, but nothing showed up on the display. “And don’t confuse your baby’s heartbeat with your own. A fetal heartbeat is much faster, usually above 120 bpm.”

Just then, Rex could hear a strong and quick sound come from the doppler; “140 bpm” showed up on the screen. “Is that…?”

“ That’s the sound you want to listen for.”

“Oh, gods…” What started as tears-in-the-eyes turned into full-on crying as Rex heard his daughter’s heartbeat for the first time. “Weeves… I have a child growing inside me… and she’s so full of life.”

“I know, hun… I know.” Now, Weevil began to cry too.

After a few more minutes, the doctor packed up the fetal doppler, along with a few other items and informational pamphlets. “Before you leave, Mr. Raptor, there are a few things you should know. Your vagina has the same opening as your anus, which is why you can get pregnant through anal sex. Your birth canal is so small, you've probably not noticed it. But you certainly will when it's time for childbirth."

“Childbirth, huh?” Rex trembled in fear. “In just four months, I’ll… I’m so nervous.”

“I’ll be with you every step of the way.”

“So will I, hun.” Weevil kissed Rex on the cheek.

“Now do you have any other questions for me?” asked the doctor.

“No, sir.” After the doctor cleaned up the gel, Rex put his coat back on and started to leave. “Thanks again.”

Spinos was reading a magazine in the lobby when Rex and Weevil arrived there. “So how’d it go?”

“I am glad to know I’m carrying a perfectly healthy baby girl.”

“That’s great!”

It had just occurred to Rex that he somehow managed to waltz out of the clinic without paying a dime. “But what’s not so great is how I forgot to pay the doctor. I don’t even have a job yet.”

“Not to worry; your tuition pays for your healthcare here. And since this university is also affiliated with the downtown hospital, you didn’t get charged for your care there, either. Though most other hospitals around here charge exorbitant costs.”

“And if you didn’t tell me about this doctor, I wouldn’t have been able to afford to see my daughter, or know how to care for her.” Rex glanced to the side before looking at his father. “So thanks, Dad.”

“You’re welcome, son. If there’s anything else you need from me, I’d be more than happy to help. Well, I have to go teach another class, but I’ll see you soon.”

As Rex waved goodbye, Amber happened to walk past and heard most of the conversation.

“Waaah!” Rex couldn’t look directly at Amber, not after remembering what happened at Domino Tabletop Gaming’s last meeting. “Amber… About what happened at the meeting-”

“Never you mind.” Amber spoke as if those events never happened. “I normally don’t lose control of my emotions like that; I can assure you that I’m fine now.”

“Are you sure?” Rex looked at Amber, concerned, and put a hand on her shoulder.

“Enough about me. What about you?” Amber touched the baby bump. “How’s the baby?”

“I actually just got out from a doctor’s appointment. Not only is my baby healthy, she’s also a girl!” Rex chuckled.

“Have you thought of a name for her yet?”

Rex blinked. “No, I haven’t.”

“My dude, that’s one of the first things you should think about when you find out you’re pregnant. Everyone knows that, dino brain!”

“Well, do you have any suggestions?”

“Um…”

“Now look who’s the dino brain!” Rex gave Amber noogies.

Weevil had to admit that this scene made him a little jealous, so he interrupted it with, “Shouldn’t we go home, Rex? Ptera’s waiting for us by the dumpster car loop.”

“Yeah, let’s.” Rex let go of Amber. “See you around, Amber.”

“Wait! Um… Rex, I have a request. Can I… Is it possible for me to go home with you?”

“Why, did you get into a fight with your parents or something?”

“...You could say that.”

Rex knew better than to pry further. “In that case, you’re welcome to join us. My mom is the coolest person around, so I’m sure she’d be okay with it.”

It was quite a walk to said car loop, and Rex was astounded that he didn’t need to stop by the loo on the way there.
