writing injuries: 101
hi goblins and ghouls let me teach you how to write that silly little stab would you decided to give your silly little guy so that you could rip out the hearts of your reader, even more.
Hopefully you have gathered from the title that this will be discussing WOUNDS! BLOOD! GORE! OTHER NASTYS! If you disagree with my advice, MORE THAN OKAY! I'd love to hear yours and we can exchange tips! Lets get into it.
Types of Injuries
To write a realistic injury you NEED to know three things: A) What type of boo-boo B) What caused said boo-boo C) Where is the boo-boo D) Who will kiss boo-boo better (optional) edit: according to my friend D is not optional, so. find someone to kiss it better
Common types of injuries
I am by NO MEANS a professional so... take with a grain of salt. There are so many resources out there if you need to get specific but here's some simple shit xoxo:
Abrasion: Remember when you fell on the street as a skin and scrapped the shit out of your knee? Yeah. That. Its broken skin caused by friction against rough surfaces: requires IMMEDIATE cleaning.
Animal Chomps (bites): These can and will cause an infection if you don't treat it. Your 5'3 teenage girl CANNOT brush off that wolf bite apocalypse writers. Get her to the closest med tent.
Avulsion: A injury's caused when a body part is ripped away either partially or fully (HELLO SAW MOVIES). Results in some severe trauma (physically and mentally if they live) Typically caused by gunshot wounds, explosion's, car crashes etc.)
Bruise: Muscle fibers, blood vessels, and connective tissues are damaged with these bad boys. They cause that bluish purply look. Bruises do change colour to a yellow-green the older they are so do your research!
Burn: There are three degrees and a whole lot of different types for this mf and I can do a separate post on burns if you all want, but in general it is damage to the skin caused by heat, chemicals, radiation or sunlight (we all are too familiar with that last one). As some of know it can result in Swelling, Blistering, and scaring. Now if you gave your creature a really bad burn then it can cause shock, death and the destruction of the skin! And it leaves your victim of choice vulnerable to infection! Yay!!!
Fracture: a break in the bone, it literally looks fractured. It causes pain swelling, numbness and possibly deformity. You will likely need to send your character to the doctor.
Laceration: A cut, slice, tear in the skin, these are not stab wounds this is like if you accidentally cut yourself on glass or if someone swung at you with a knife and it sliced you, but it didn't go into your body and stay there. You get the idea.
Puncture wounds: THIS. THESE ARE YOUR STABS. Penetration to the skin caused by any sort of (usually sharp) object. These are the wounds your serial killer might use in the final moments of the kill with his knife, or the final blow to your hero's enemy with his sword.
Sprain: Ligaments (the things you see in x-rays that hold the bones together) that have been stretched or torn which happens when the joins move into unnatural positions. Usually, this results in stiffness, discoloration and swelling.
Strain: NOTE, Sprain and Strain ARE different. This is what happens when a muscle or tendon (not a ligament) is pulled, twisted or torn. Typically caused by over-stretching/contracting. Usually results in pain, muscle spams, and weakness.
Please note, that like I mentioned with burns there are degrees of severity for ALL OF THESE so please do your research this is just a starting point.
Care & Aftermath
LOTS of writers forget this part and its so sad. You want cute scenes between to characters who aren't yet dating but your rooting for? ONE OF THEM JUST GOT HURT AND THE OTHER IS TENDING TO IT. BAM INSTANT CUTE SCENE. Do not forget about your aftermath and medical care. Most injuries if left untreated WILL WORSEN if you leave them alone so FIX UP YOUR GUYS.
Do your research!! Look up the kind of injury your character sustained, the severity of it and you'll find recovery time and the kind of treatment they'll need.
In my experience, the more you focus on the aftermath of wounds, the more realistic it seems even if your dashing hero just got his arm ripped off by a dragon.
Writing the injury
You do not, now listen closely. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO WRITE A MEDICALLY ACCURATE DESCRIPTION OF THE WOUND. You're probably writing fiction and not a med student essay. If you are... email your professor I cannot help you here.
Just focus on getting the basics down. What's the bleeding? How bad is the swelling? What's the pain level at? and just leave the rest to the imagination. Unless your character is a doctor or whatever, your little dudes will also not know exactly what an Avulsion is. You can just say that there's a gaping hole or something. They'll be far to focused on the pain or whatever is causing it to diagnose themselves then and there.
Realism
I pinky promise you that as long as you have the basics, your readers will pick up what your laying down. The characters reaction is the most important part. How are they feeling emotionally? Are they having a physical reaction to the pain (Limping, shaking)? Do they have any physical response to the sight of their own/others blood? Do they experience shock? What's their attitude after it all?
These are the questions you should ask yourself. A war-hardened soilder will react differently to a gunshot wound than someone fresh out of high school.
Thanks :] go make the masses suffer :]]

Kinktober Day 17: Threesome
Tumblr media
Rating: R-18+
Word Count: 7513
Warnings:Afab!reader, gendered language, f/f/m threesome, cunnilingus, vaginal fingering, pegging, piv sex, ass to vagina, double penetration
A/N: I know this is probably common sense but just to be clear - I do not recommend engaging in ass to vagina or even ass to mouth irl! It’s hot as hell as a fantasy but no one wants the kind of infection that could potentially cause! Always practice safe sex guys! Health comes first! 👏😤
Hushed laughter filters through the cabin, secretive and soft. The playful sound only seems to emphasize the rustle of clothes, feet on the floor, hands caressing the other's body with the stilted whisper of contact. Even the ever present groan of ocean waters lapping at the ship to gently rock the hull is not enough to conceal the static shuffle of two people indulging in one another but it was safe here, far away from any prying eyes. A haven for simple hedonism. 
Your knees sink into the downy mattress next to his hips as you climb into Kazuha’s lap and he welcomes you in with open arms that curl around your body to pull you close against him. A slow breath of contentment sighs out of you to tease some of the loose flyaways in his hair. He tips his head back, issuing a quiet hum, and gives you that always placid smile when you get settled on top of his thighs. Bringing your arms up, you wrap them around his neck and lean in, and he does the same. Your lips meet in a savory, unhurried kiss while his hands knead around your waist, tugging you into a tortuously slow grind on top of him. 
The two of you retreated down here not long after the festivities got into full swing up on the deck for some privacy and entertainment of your own while the rest of the crew partied for half the night. It was no secret that Kazuha was a lightweight so he was often barred from taking part in any celebrations that involved drinking no matter how much he pouted or sulked about it, and this time was no different. The captain had been adamant that he was to stay away from the booze and you’d decided to keep him company so he didn’t feel quite so put out about it. You suspected he actually preferred it this way, though. Kazuha was a little too keen on satisfying life’s simple pleasures to decline the gratification of another’s touch. 
And he kisses you, slow and easy, while his hands map out the curve of your body. Those long fingers dip into the bend of your waist before dragging higher to palm at your ribcage with a tight squeeze. Your breath puffs out in a stilted exhale, but he just takes that opportunity to deepen the exchange. The way his tongue dances with yours feels poetic, almost; confident and enticing yet so gentle at the same time, so light it masterfully pulls you into his pace as if of your own volition. Rolling your hips over his lap, you arch and press your breasts into his chest as one hand slides up into his hair to close around the roots. That makes him moan, and you smile against his mouth. 
Quickly smiling as well, Kazuha wraps his arms around you once more so he can pull you down with him when he plops back to sprawl out on the bed. Thoroughly tangled in each other now, you shift to lay next to him on your side and throw your leg over his hip when he nudges himself up against you again. He continues to kiss you through it all, even when he grinds his stiffened cock into the stifling hot space between your legs. A slow motion shudder works through you as you push back, gradually falling into a steady push and pull with one another. Just enjoying the press of each other's bodies, the quiet promise of more to come. Bigger things, better things. 
Oh, you could hardly contain your excitement. 
“Do you think we’ll have to wait long?” He asks when he finally separates his mouth from yours a lifetime later. His always soft voice is a bit raspy with desire, thicker, and you reach up to brush some of that silky pale hair back behind his ear. 
“Doubt it. If it was just one of us that might be a different story but … the absence of both of us is sure to be sorely noticed soon.” You grin at him and he smiles back, a soft note of laughter coloring his words when he leans in to brush his lips over yours again. 
“Then it will be my pleasure to keep you entertained in the meantime.” 
Giggling with each other, you spend a long time just touching one another and slow grinding like horny teenagers who didn’t know what to do beyond that point but weren’t quite brave enough to take the plunge just yet and find out. Both of you were aware that this was primarily a warm up though. An appetizer to the main event, the preview before the feature, and neither of you were in any hurry to rush it. Just basking in the warm glow of kisses and fingertips caressing along strips of exposed skin, and the excitable nudge of his cock against your cunt through layers of clothes. That was enough for right now, and it suited each of you just fine. 
And it’s so easy to get wrapped up in him like this when every brush of his hands was so deliberate and purposeful. Controlled with fine tuned patience that keeps his fingers steady even when he slips back to reach over the swell of your ass so he can tease your slit from behind. His ministrations neither turn jittery or impatient even when you feel his rigid length pulse against your front, clearly getting off on touching you like this but disciplined enough not to give in to the baser urge to tear at your clothes. To spread you out underneath him so he can sink into your body. Kazuha’s temperament is as mild as ever even now, sequestered away together like this, and you groan when he carefully tugs you half on top of him in a sprawl. 
Stretched across his chest now, you lean up to capture his mouth once again while one of your own hands slips into the folded layers of his top. His breath hitches slightly when you find his dainty nipple, and flick and tweak it in time with the still steady pass of his fingers rubbing over your cunt. It was an almost perfect synergy thrumming between you and him, but there was still one final piece of the puzzle missing … 
Your ears perk when you eventually catch the sound of approaching footsteps out in the hall. Kazuha tenses underneath you, his cock jumping at the implication, and you kiss him harder. More fervently. Give his stiff nipple a twist to make him whine into your mouth. His fingers finally stutter against your pussy, stilling altogether for a split second before grabbing a clutching handful of your inner thigh. You can feel the fleshy swell under his grip, how it pudges up between his digits, and you issue a faltering moan of your own. As if your need had been mutually stoked to the point of desperation, you start to grind against one another with a renewed sense of urgency. 
The door swings open behind you with a creak but you’re a little too caught up in the way Kazuha softly pants into your mouth to bring your head up. You already knew who it was anyway. A silent pause filters into the cabin and then the door swings shut again. The resounding click of the lock turning in place makes both of you whimper. 
“So this is where the two of you ran off to. Should have known.” Laughing briefly, Beidou steps closer to the bed, and the solid thunk of her boots on the wood flooring makes the cock under you twitch in excitement. 
Finally finding the strength to pull back, you look down at Kazuha as if in a daze. His cheeks were flushed a charming shade of pink, his gaze distant and dreamy. He already looked wrecked and you hadn’t even truly gotten started yet. But before you can tease him for that Beidou’s hand smooths over your upturned ass to make you whine low in your throat and you instinctively jut your hips up a little higher in humble supplication. Her battle hardened fingers trail a path over the curve and dip into the space between your thighs, brushing Kazuha’s knuckles in the process. Lightly, she touches along your slit and then flattens her hand against it, cupping you possessively in her palm with a knowing press, and you can’t quite stop yourself from yelping in delight. 
“You’ve been having fun without me, I see. You're so wet I can feel it right through your clothes, sweetness … hasn't Kazuha been taking care of you?” 
The man under your noises a plaintive little sound and shudders, jostling you slightly when he needily rolls his hips upward. Seeking out the same attention, begging for it. Offering himself up for her inspection just as willingly as you had. 
Turning your head to glance back over your shoulder, you find Beidou smirking to herself as she bends to drag her hand down lower. You know the exact moment she cups him the same way she’d done to you because he jolts and issues a flustered little groan that seems to bounce and echo off the walls. A small pang of jealousy creeps into your chest but he’d patiently awaited his turn while she greeted you first so you decide you can do the same as well. 
Even though you wanted all of the captain’s attention on you … 
Beidou soon straightens up again when Kazuha trembles underneath you, prompting him to keen very softly at the loss of her touch, but she doesn’t seem to pay it any mind. Coming close to bring one knee up and brace against the mattress, she leans over you. Her hand finds the root of your hair, much like you’d done to Kazuha earlier, and she tugs your head back at an angle that leaves you gasping. Gorgeous long brown tresses slip forward when she bends to claim your mouth in a casually possessive kiss. Kazuha wheezes quietly and his fingers dig deep into your hip and thigh, but he remains obediently pliant while she leaves her mark on you. 
Groaning dazedly when she finally pulls away, you let her tip your head down and watch as she then does the same to Kazuha, kissing him deeply until he eventually mewls into her mouth. Straightening up again, Beidou takes a moment to just look at the both of you, taking in the sight before her. You can’t help but whine when she eventually pulls back completely and her fingers slip away from your hair, leaving your neck feeling heavy and sluggish without her there to direct it. 
“Alright. We can play.” She murmurs, reaching up to shrug out of her short, fur embellished cape. Carefully sitting upright to straddle Kazuha while he pushes to his elbows, you attentively watch together as she tosses it aside to hit the floor with a near silent whisper of fabric before leaning forward to brace on her hands. The spill of her full, shapely breasts very nearly overtakes the halter like this, the cock under your straining up in response when she sends each of you a slow, knowing look. “How do you two troublemakers want it? Should I get out your favorite toy or will my fingers suffice for my favorite sluts?” 
“The toy, please.” You and Kazuha slur out in almost perfect unison, the thought alone making your pussy eagerly clench. 
Bawdily laughing again, Beidou shifts back to sit on the bed. “Both of you are insatiable. Come here then. If I’m going to be taking care of you guys all night I think I deserve to get mine first.” 
Neither of you needs to be told twice. 
Quickly untangling your limbs, you scoot across the bed to join her and Kazuha soon follows on his hands and knees. She reaches for him at his approach, cupping the nape of his neck with a clear sense of ownership. It makes him warble out a tremulous moan when she pulls him into another heated exchange that she leads the pace of and he eagerly submits to. You try not to pout about it as you lean into her side and reach up to paw at one breast. Beidou’s opposite arm comes around your shoulders, pulling you flush even as Kazuha heatedly groans into her mouth. She wasn’t wrong to call you both insatiable, but she handles it masterfully. Almost without even needing to try, or so it seems. 
Finally pulling away to leave Kazuha softly panting, she offers one more lingering peck to his kiss-swollen lips before tipping her attention down at you. Eagerly, you lean up to meet her when she bends her head close, letting her lay claim to your mouth yet again. You’re distantly aware of Kazuha shifting around on the other side and she soon issues a soft, pleasant sigh at what he’s doing. Cracking an eye open, you peer over to find his face buried in the crook of her neck, licking and nipping at the thin strip of skin between her collar and jaw. You promptly decide you aren’t going to be outdone, and lean back with a stuttering inhale so you can undo the single tiny button holding the neckline in place. His hands soon join yours in their task and together the two of you work to disrobe her. 
And Beidou is a sight to behold throughout all of it. Her hair shines lusciously in the lamplight when she flicks it back over her shoulder to make it easier for you to peel back the thin red qipao, eventually discarding it altogether to leave her in just the band around her chest, spank shorts and thigh high boots. She looks like a queen, regal and proud, even in this state of undress, and she smiles knowingly at the way both of you run your hands over her firm, powerful sides. Her strong arms, the swell of her hips, across the powerful muscles along her back. You would have worshiped her for hours on end if she would allow it, and you suspected Kazuha felt the same way. 
“Now you.” She purrs, and your heartbeat further quickens when you share a quick look with the man to your right. This was something else that didn’t need repeating though, and you shuffle a little closer to him when he reaches out a hand to take your upper arm in a loose hold so he can pull you in. “Kiss while you do it.” Beidou adds, a sly edge in her voice. “I hope you brats put on a good show for me.” 
A brief, shuddering exhale slips out of him, brows drawing inward as if stricken by overwhelm and carnal bliss. But he obediently leans close, heavy lashes drooping low when he opens his mouth and slips a pink tongue out. Quickly following his lead, your lips part and close over his, gladly accepting the hot, wet warmth that slips past your teeth to flick over the inside of your mouth in a taunting, enticing dance. Your hands work together to get each other's clothes slipped off, quickly joining the growing heap on the floor until both of you are at last down to your underwear. 
Gently, Kazuha takes hold of your silk chemise and inches it up over your head when you lift your arms for him. His palms — one bare and one layered in wrapped bandage — descend upon your breasts to knead and pinch, making your back bow in pleasure. You catch the soft sigh Beidou breathes out, your own fingers eagerly skittering down his sides to dip into the thin fundoshi tied around his hips and give the swell of his ass an appreciative squeeze. Figuring out the seemingly complicated garment had been a real challenge at first but you were familiar enough with it now to easily locate the knot, tugging at it to make the fabric loosen. He sedately reaches down to help you unravel the long strip, still kissing you, and Beidou chuckles very softly when his cock finally springs up into the space between you. 
“You’re just as bad as she is, Kazuha. You sure you don’t want to give your ass a break tonight?” 
He moans into your lips, higher in pitch and keening, before pulling back enough to quietly whine out, “I want both.” 
It was such a typical Kazuha answer that you can’t help but giggle. His favor for indulging in life’s simplest pleasures extended even to this, the most base form of gratification that existed in the natural world, and that was the crux of it, wasn’t it? How the three of you ended up sharing each other's time and pleasure between yourselves on long nights out at sea like this. 
But something in him seems to stir awake at the sound of your laughter, his eyes clearing from some of the fog that had fallen over him. You don’t get a chance to react when he reaches out to grab hold of your hips and half lifts, half yanks you closer to slot you between his knees. Tipping over at the sudden movement, you bounce back onto the mattress with a burst of giggles as he tugs at your bloomers to get them inched up your legs and finally discarded a moment later. 
“Man, you two always look so good together …” Beidou remarks almost wistfully. 
Kazuha sends you a slow look from under the messy fringe of his hair, one hand curling around your foot to pull it close for a brief kiss against the arch. You draw a slow, stilted breath while he does it, knowing too well how committed to putting on a good show for her he could really be. “Not half as good as you look with her, Captain Beidou, I’m sure.” 
“I think we all look good together,” You whisper into the statically charged air. “That’s why this works out so well.”
“Agreed.” Pressing another quick kiss to your foot, Kazuha lowers your leg and turns his head to look at the other woman. “Shall I proceed, captain?” 
Beidou pretends to think about that for a moment, humming as if in thought. “No need. I’ll deal with both of you soon enough.” 
Your heart gives a little thump at that, and you move to untangle yourself from Kazuha again. He helps you up and together you return to Beidou who leans back to brace on her hands. The shift in position leaves her chest presented in invitation, and you lean close to press your mouth to the swell of one breast. Kazuha’s hand crowds close, stiltedly pawing at the other, and she breathes out a quiet groan as you attack her in near perfect tandem. Slipping a finger into the band, you slowly inch it down until the meaty swell of her tit slips free, inspiring a shudder that makes her arch her back. You capture the stiff nipple in your mouth, sucking and flicking at it with your tongue, while Kazuha brushes his bandaged thumb over the other. 
Her breathing gradually deepens, becoming heavy and thick, and she groans a low sound when he eventually pulls his side of the band down as well so he can latch his lips around the opposite nipple. Another tremor works through her muscular frame to accompany the slow grind of her hips against the mattress. Both of you take your time with it, occasionally pulling up to pinch or roll the spit lathered buds between your fingers, the buzz of excited arousal so palpable in the room it almost feels smothering. 
Tipping her head back to shudderingly groan up at the ceiling when Kazuha reaches down to rub her cunt, Beidou gives her head a dull shake that makes her long hair dance against her back. “You’re going to be the death of me at this rate …” 
“But you like it, captain.” He murmurs, playful amusement lacing his tone as you release her nipple with a muted pop. 
Kissing your way down her stomach, making sure to give each defined abdominal muscle their own individual peck, you steadily work your way down to her spanks where you slip your fingers into the waistband. Kazuha’s quickly join you and together the two of you peel the fabric away from her and down her legs, tossing them aside without a second thought to where they might land. Finally left in nothing but her tall boots and the black halter bunched under her tits, Beidou reclines further back to brace on her elbows now. The spread of her tight body and the expectant glimmer in her visible eye makes your own arousal double and then triple. Archons, you’d never seen anyone more beautiful … 
“I expect you two to share. No fighting over who gets to eat me out like last time.”
“Yes, captain.” You once again answer in unison. 
Shuffling closer, you lay down between her spread thighs and lean in to kiss at the firm, meaty lips of her cunt while Kazuha nudges himself in from above, leaning over her pelvis at an angle. You roll your eyes up to share a brief, heated look with him as you spread her open with your fingers. Keeping his gaze locked on yours, he bends close to flick his tongue out and nudge at pink creases and folds, and you follow suit. It’s a bit cramped like this but, somehow the two of you manage to make it work. Keeping your head tilted, you lap at Beidou with playful little kitten licks, your tongue brushing against and entwining with his from time to time, and she groans in deep satisfaction as the two of you attack her clit from both sides. Shuddering, her hips slowly find a stilted thrusting motion that lets her fuck her pussy between one mouth and the next. 
“Gods, that feels good … keep that up and I’ll have to make sure to spoil you guys later. Would you like that?”  
You and Kazuha noise two flustered sounds of agreement, and your eyes slip closed in ecstasy at the mental image that comes to mind. Just thinking about Beidou taking her time with you, rewarding you for being so good for her has your own cunt fluttering around nothing. You couldn’t wait to feel her inside you … 
“Mm, that’s what I like to hear.” Breathing out a sigh of pleasure, she shifts underneath you and Kazuha to fully lay out on the bed. One of her legs curls out and up over your shoulder to loosely wrap around your head, giving you a bit more room to work with between her thighs. You tremble and moan at the dull press of her boot heel against your back at almost the same time Kazuha groans a tremulous sound as well, and you quickly realize she’s reached down to grip his hair in a fist. Beidou’s ability to keep both of you perfectly under control and equally engaged without getting overwhelmed herself was something truly impressive in your eyes and you can’t help but be star struck by it even now. 
It spoke to her talents, her strengths both physical and mental, and the inherent respect she commanded from those around her. If it had only been you and Kazuha rolling around in the sheets you likely would have traded roles between yourselves, switching seamlessly to suit your mood and needs. But with Beidou both of you were free to submit, to enjoy your domination in the most deliciously satisfying way possible. 
Even when her hips judder and tremble, Beidou still has the presence of mind to grind Kazuha’s face down into her cunt so she can fuck herself on his tongue. Even when her breathing becomes thin and shallow with the building tension in her body, she still has the wherewithal to squeeze her leg around your head to damn near smother you in her cunt. Panting heavily against slick, satin soft folds, you blindly reach under her thigh until you find Kazuha’s hand braced on the bed. He gives a little jolt at the contact but quickly turns his hand so he can grasp yours, fingers interlacing while Beidou rides both of your mouths with stunningly expert precision. 
“M’gonna’ cum … you guys ready?” 
Whining low in his throat, Kazuha leans down a little further to truly crowd his face in next to yours. Your cheeks squish together, breath mingling in the tight space between Beidou’s legs as your tongue tangles with his over her clit. A powerful tremor tears through her, muscles stiffly tensing up to accompany the way she hisses through her teeth. You’re vaguely aware of her pussy squeezing tight under your mouth and then a sudden deluge of slick floods your tastebuds to make your eyes roll back. You can distantly hear Kazuha moaning at the taste as well but you’re far more focused on the way Beidou twitches and heaves through her orgasm, positively soaking your face in sticky arousal. 
She basks in the waves of intense pleasure for a long moment, still softly rolling her hips until she eventually starts to come down from it one piece at a time. Slowly, her leg loosens around your neck and then falls away completely to splay out on the bed. With a final, lingering lap of his tongue, Kazuha slowly pushes up and you do the same. A brief, molten look between the two of you is all it takes and your mouths crash together, hungrily kissing and passing the taste of her back and forth between each other. Beidou chuckles softly, just watching the show for an extended beat while she recovers from her shuddering climax.
“What good brats I have … you both did well, but if you want your reward you’ll have to let me up first.” 
Flushed and groaning, you and Kazuha reluctantly break apart to look at one another. He was even more of a wreck than he’d been before, his hair askew and sticking to his sweat-dampened cheeks and forehead, but you probably didn’t look much better in that moment. Slowly, the two of you start to untangle yourself from Beidou, sluggish with arousal, and she reaches out to palm both of your necks in a possessive hold when she sits up. 
“I want you to lay at the edge of the bed while I’m getting ready, is that understood?” 
“Yes, Captain Beidou.” 
Giving each of you a squeeze, she moves to stand so she can go over to the chest pushed up against the far wall. While she’s rummaging around and fiddling with various straps, preparing for the main event, Kazuha takes your hand again so he can pull you to the side of the mattress. Together, you get situated on your backs, side by side, shoulder to shoulder, and you offer him a cheeky little smile full of anticipation and eager excitement as you get settled in. 
“Who do you think will cum first this time?” 
He cocks a playful brow at that, his thumb tracing idle circles over your knuckle. “Shall we make a wager?” 
“Okay … first one to cum ends up on the bottom.” 
“I can hear you, y’know.” Beidou calls over, making you laugh and giggle with Kazuha. 
“Deal.” He whispers and, still holding your hand against the bed, he leans over to close the scant distance so he can kiss you again, humming quietly at the lingering taste of Beidou’s cunt on your lips. 
The thump of her boots soon approaches again, and you give your hips a supplicating shake as you spread your legs in invitation. Kazuha does the same, his bare thigh brushing against yours when he curls his leg up to open himself for her. Beidou’s hand caresses over your knee, prompting you to disengage from Kazuha’s mouth, and you glance up to find her leaning over the two of you. Your eyes immediately land on the thick length now dangling between her legs from the complicated rig of straps and buckles fastened around her waist, and your pussy clenches tightly in response. 
“Making bets like that behind my back … I wonder who’s going to win.” Gently humming, she dips her hand further in to tease along your slit and smear the copious arousal she finds there before zeroing in on your entrance. A quick glance to your side reveals her doing the same to Kazuha, his chin tipped forward against his chest and his lips parted in a silent moan while she prods at his vulnerable hole. You tighten your hold on his hand and both of you gasp when she starts to push into your bodies. The sly gleam in her eye makes you feel ten times hotter when she looks up, glancing between you and him with a knowing smile. “I have half a mind to make you both cum at the same time just to teach you a lesson. What would you do then, hm?” 
Panting, you slip your eyes shut to fully appreciate the way her calloused fingers penetrate your cunt and spread it open for her. The sensation makes every nerve ending in your pelvis light up like a goddamn firework, toes curling in the air. You wonder, idly, if she’s also using two on Kazuha, and the way he seethes and twitches at having his ass stuffed makes you suspect that she was. Beidou’s favorite lubricant from Liyue was a potent and extremely effective concoction though so you didn’t doubt that she would easily be able to make him take that many right off the bat … 
Beidou’s fingers curling inside you to attack the tight nerve cluster behind your upper wall quickly distracts you from thinking about what Kazuha is experiencing, and you toss your head back to groan up at the ceiling. A soft click soon rises in the cabin, highlighted by the quiet sound of his ass sucking in her fingers, and together you writhe with him on the bed. You were already so wet she could have easily taken you by now but Beidou always liked to show you both equal amounts of attention. Whatever prep Kazuha needed you would receive also, but you couldn’t quite find it in yourself to be upset about that when it felt so damn good.  
“Captain!” 
“Ooh? You’re sounding mighty needy there, sweetness. Don’t tell me you’re the one who’s going to lose.” 
“I … I’m not.” 
Laughing, Beidou withdraws her fingers and shifts to line herself up between your thighs. Grasping the fake, hefty cock in one hand while the other stays busy in Kazuha’s ass, she starts to lean her weight into you and you freeze with your mouth wide open at the stilted pressure it exerts. “We’ll see about that, won’t we?” 
Inch by excruciating inch, her cock slides into the hot squeeze of your pussy and you lurch with a high pitched, faltering groan at the intense stretch. It brings sensitive, deeply satisfied tears to your eyes as you lift your head to peer down at yourself. Beidou looks amazing crouching over you like this, your cunt lips spreading around the intrusion and clinging to it in a meaty grip, and you outright wheeze as more and more of her disappears into your body. You’re so caught up in watching her claim you that you almost miss the way Kazuha shifts next to you, but then his unoccupied hand slides over to tweak your stiff nipple. The sharp friction makes you clamp down on her with an almost violent shudder, whining in the back of your throat.
“N - no fair!” 
“I didn’t hear nothing about any rules that said you couldn’t sabotage each other.” Beidou chuckles, amusement thick in her voice. 
She slides home a moment later and she takes the time to grind her pelvis against yours, both to tease your throbbing clit and also apply a blinding amount of pressure to your guts. The sound that bursts out of you seems to border on frantic and you jerkily turn your head to pin Kazuha with an imploring look. You weren’t sure if you were begging for him to stop ratcheting up your arousal even further or to keep going, but he only smiles though. That small, vaguely mischievous smile that belied his usually placid demeanor for the rarely seen sadistic streak hiding underneath. Leaning across to kiss you again while Beidou slowly eases back, dragging at your inner sleeve, he continues to tug at your aching nipple to make you whimper and mewl into his mouth. 
Desperately, you try to bring your hand up to stave him off as Beidou falls into a steady rhythm and the soft, wet clicks of your cunt sucking her in deep quickly grows louder, but he fiercely holds on. You arch against the pleasure making you tingle from head to toe, and instead lift your unoccupied hand from where it had been clutching at the sheets. But Kazuha doesn’t even react when you latch onto his wrist and weakly try to pull him off, relentlessly pinching and rolling your teat between his fingers until you have no choice but to tear your mouth from his with a haggard sound. Bleating into the static stillness, you glance down again to watch Beidou thrust that stiff, merciless length deep into your body, the force making your tits bounce and jiggle, and you cry out in fast mounting distress. Being the first to cum did not seem like such a far off possibility … 
“Captain — aahhn, please!”
“What’s wrong, sweetness? Ready to tap out already?” 
You jerk your head in a quick nod and she laughs, giving the meat of your inner thigh a tight squeeze and a taunting jostle before abruptly easing out of you. Brows drawing together in stricken bliss, you loose a faltering groan at the resulting little slurp when she slips free but she’s quick to stuff you with her fingers again. Seething at the sensation, you numbly watch her shift to the opposite side and position herself between Kazuha’s legs. His hold on your hand tightens with the faintest tremor that runs through him, and then he’s going stock still when Beidou starts to lean into him next. Glancing down, you take in the sight of his stiff cock resting across his lower belly and, beyond the fleshy mound of his ballsack, that thick toy slowly disappearing into him, much the same as it had done with you a moment ago, and you can’t help but issue a sympathetic moan that makes your head vibrate. 
“Look at you taking me so well, Kazuha … your pussy is just as greedy as hers, isn’t it? Both of you are always so damn hungry for my cock and it shows.” 
Whimpering softly, the man beside you twitches and arches his back, wheezing quietly under his breath as she gradually slides inside of him. The knowledge that she was using your slick to penetrate him, lubricating his ass with your arousal, just leaves you feeling so hot it almost makes the room spin. Subconsciously squeezing down on Beidou’s fingers at the sight of him so stricken by pleasure as much as the words she speaks, you let go of his arm in favor of reaching over to tweak his nipple in retaliation. It seems to punch a low moan out of him and, turning his head to look at you again, he gives your teat a reciprocating tug. 
“Is this how we’re going to play this game?” He whispers, distant and dreamy. Clearly distracted. 
“You started it.” You remind him, making Beidou chuckle as she quickly falls into that same steady rhythm she’d fucked you with. 
The fleshy plap, plap, plap of his firm ass hitting her soft thighs sounds loud in the otherwise quiet room, and his heated gasps and groans quickly rise up to join it. He really does take her cock so well, keeping his legs spread like an absolute slut even when each thrust jostles him against the mattress. Beidou wasn’t exactly sweet or gentle in the way she took her lovers, more often than not maintaining a demanding pace that begets submission on both the physical and mental level. It wasn’t really a matter of if you would cum but, rather, when she would pull a shuddering climax out of you. 
And it’s so easy to envision yourself in Kazuha’s place, to feel the spectral stretch and slide of her cock deep inside your cunt, that your guts instinctively milk at Beidou’s digits in a tight, palpitating squeeze. You moan at almost the exact same time he does, and he mirrors your shuddering tremors in near perfect unison. The two of you were feeding off each other, taking from the others pleasure and giving it back double, and Beidou was the expert conductor leading it all. 
“What do you brats think now, huh? Who’s gonna’ win?” 
“M - me,” You warble out, and Kazuha gives your throbbing nipple a sharp tug in response to make you gasp. 
“I don’t think so.” 
“You’ll see …” 
“Hmm, I don’t know,” Beidou drawls, her tone light and lilting, eventually slowing her thrusts to a drawn out, slow motion glide before pulling out altogether. The resulting wet pop has Kazuha whining, but just as quickly as she’d done to you, Beidou stuffs her fingers into his ass again and then moves back over to stand between your legs. “Something tells me sweetness here isn’t going to last much longer …” 
The blunt head of the toy presses into your sticky, swollen cunt lips and you go stiff as a board, mouth dropping open as if to scream, but nothing comes out while she gradually sinks back into you again. Kazuha issues a dazed little sound of fluster, squirming on her fingers beside you. Her pelvis meets yours a heartbeat later and you toss your head back, groaning so hard it makes your throat feel raw and abused, but she barely even pauses. Immediately finding that quick, snappy pace, Beidou reaches up with her free hand to grab the breast Kazuha wasn’t currently latched onto. 
“Come on, baby girl. I can feel how hard you’re squeezing me … you want to cum, don’t you? It’ll feel so good once you finally just let it go, so come on. Show me and Kazuha how hard you can cum for us.” 
“N - noooo! Not yet, not yet!” Deliriously, you toss your head against the sheets but it was too much. Between the two sets of hands fondling your breasts and the unrelentingly hard, stiff toy pounding in and out of you, you could feel yourself tipping dangerously close to the edge. “Please, captain, please, fuck Kazuha again just — ahhn! Aagghhn! Just for a moment, please!” 
“Nuh-uh, sweetness. You’re not getting off that easy.”
You suck in a sharp, gasping breath with every intention of begging some more but it gets caught somewhere in your windpipe. Practically choking on it, you desperately thrash and try to twist away from the intense pressure bearing down on you but it’s useless. There is no escaping it when you were effectively trapped between them, Beidou’s cock spearing you straight down the middle, and your frantic moans quickly start to take on a dire, urgent tinge. 
Kazuha giving your captured nipple a slow, taunting tug is what eventually makes the coil snap, and you cum with a jerk and a high pitched shriek. Your pussy spasms around the thick intrusion as you shake and writhe through your release, oversensitized tears clouding your eyes when Beidou fucks you right through and damn near into another. It feels like you’re falling apart on her cock, uncontrollably quaking between the two of them until you slowly start to come down from it what feels like an eternity later. 
Panting and wheezing in the aftermath, you let out a soft whimper when Beidou finally slows and then pulls out completely to leave your pussy weakly contracting in the aftermath. She takes a step back, untangling herself from both you and Kazuha, and he quickly takes advantage of that to roll over on top of you. Ignoring your mouse squeak protests, he slides his knees under your thighs and nudges them up to leave you spread out underneath him as he brings his face close to yours, that content and undeniably victorious little smile curling at his mouth. 
“I win.” He murmurs, nuzzling his nose against yours softly. Huffing and pouting, you try to turn your head away but he just follows you, pressing his forehead against yours so that you have nowhere to run to avoid his gaze. “Don’t be a sore loser, pretty girl.” 
“M’not …” You were and you knew that, and that’s why you tip your face up to accept his apologetic kiss when he tips his head down. It wouldn’t do any good to be petty about it but you would certainly get your payback later when he least expected it. 
“Aww, aren’t you guys cute.” Beidou purrs behind the two of you. She shuffles close again, the thunk of her boots warning you of her approach, but you still jolt when she swipes her hand over your defenseless cunt. Moaning into Kazuha’s mouth when you realize what she’s doing, you subtly tip your pelvis up for her and when she pulls back to grab hold of his cock, no doubt smearing pussy slick along his length, he promptly groans as well. 
Stiltedly, Kazuha pulls up in favor of wheezing into the scant space separating you from him. You can’t see it but you know she must be tugging at his length by the way he dully twitches, trembling at the sensation. 
Even knowing it’s coming isn’t quite enough to prepare you, and you give a quiet little squeak when she directs his cock head to your spread cunt. Obedient and pliant in her hands, Kazuha allows Beidou to direct him where she wants, at the speed she wants, and he slowly starts to sink into your waiting body. The two of you gasp and then groan in tandem, shaking against and with one another. He was less stiff and rigid than the toy, but so incredibly warm inside your guts that it makes you go cross eyed when his pelvis finally meets yours. His flesh and blood felt good — not necessarily better or worse, but a different kind of appeal — and you carefully bring your arms up to twine them around his neck. 
“How’s she feel, Kazuha?” 
“Amazing …” 
Quietly laughing, Beidou shifts around behind you and just the thought of her lining up to slide into his ass again has you shuddering on his cock, and both of you impotently rock against one another in anticipation. 
“Ready for my cock, baby? Your cute little hole looks so hungry and needy right now.” 
He hiccups at something she does, breath hitching in his chest with a barely there gasp. “Yes, captain. Please fill me up …” 
Beidou sighs in pleasure, followed by another brief shift, and then Kazuha goes so completely still over top of you that you know she’s breaching his body again. His eyes slip shut, thick lashes fluttering against the apples of his cheeks while he takes her straight down to the hilt. The cock inside you jumps and flexes, straining almost desperately against your guts when she hits his prostate, and the two of you once again shudder together in mutually felt ecstasy. 
Lifting your head to tuck your mouth against his sweat-dampened shoulder, you look past Kazuha to find Beidou squeezing around his waist, her attention focused on his upturned ass, and you outright moan when her pelvis presses flush against him. You watch for as long as you can when she starts to fuck him in earnest, her full tits jiggling with each thrust and her long hair swaying with the motion. It mercilessly rocks you and him against the bed to make the pressure on your guts double, and then triple. Finally, unable to hold out any longer when it felt like you were having the air punched right out of your lungs, you fall back to lay out on the sheets. 
Kazuha turns his head with a dopamine induced sluggishness, looking at you through the fall of heavy lidded eyes for a long beat before leaning in to kiss your mouth again. He whines and whimpers against your lips, his hips weakly flexing to fuck himself between you and Beidou, and you’re keenly aware of your toes flexing in the air with each stilted thrust. He was so sensitive for her, so stiff and hard for you, and your head starts to spin from the intoxicating rush of it all. 
You may have lost this round, but perhaps you could win the next one …

whumptober day one: a little out of the ordinary
(tw for near suffocation, violence, and unsympathetic!patton)
Cooking is a skill that can easily be translated to other things. Baking, painting, crafting, and most of all, science.
Logan wasn’t the only side who could do experiments, but while he stuck to facts, pulling things from books and journals of doctors and professors, Patton preferred to dabble in what related to the occult. Potions, after all, could look so innocent on the outside.
Patton’s bedroom was stuffed to the brim with memorabilia. Nobody had the strength or energy to go through it all, which meant that nobody would be able to find any of the things that he preferred to keep hidden, for example: his potion ingredients. Powders and elixirs of all thicknesses and colors glowed as Patton stared at each one, determined to find the one he intended to use today. There were a lot of different potions Patton could make, but there was one in particular that he was looking forward to creating today.
The princely side was valiant and brave, brazen and brash. A good soul, but maybe not the best person. A heart of gold, but a mind of something more common. Too loud. Patton scowled as he thought about the prince’s voice. His raucous, penetrating melody that only he sang, and only he cared about. It was time for the prince to silence, at least for a day or two so Patton could hear himself think.
Green, red, gold, so many vials with different colored liquids. Patton rooted through each one, searching for the right one. There were quite a few silver vials, but Patton picked up one and inspected it for a moment before unscrewing the cap and carefully tipping the bottle into a steaming mug of hot chocolate. Roman’s favorite drink.
The silver elixir reacted with the unsuspecting hot chocolate for a moment, fizzing and popping, forming some small brown bubbles. But soon, it settled and silenced. Patton hoped this display was a mere preview of what was to come when the prince brought the infected beverage to his lips.
Thinking of seeing the prince so helpless, his eyes falling closed as his body became heavy in slumber, made Patton giddy. He picked up the mug and carried it out of his room, searching for his favorite victim.
“Roman, sweetie!” Patton called out, his voice like honey, “I have a little surprise for you!”
Quick and light footsteps could be heard pittering down stairs and down hallways, until the bright-eyed prince stood before Patton in all his willowy, radiant glory. Patton looked up at his lovely dear as he placed the mug into Roman’s hands.
“Woah, this hot chocolate smells amazing!” Roman enthused shrilly, causing Patton to force a smile. “I was just talking to Virgil about the coolest thing that happened in the Imagination, where the trees turned-”
“Yes, yes, drink up, honeypie!” Patton persuaded, trying to gently lift Roman’s hands, “You don’t want it to get cold. What do we say?”
“Thanks, Padre,” Roman said obediently as he drank the warm beverage, not stopping until the cup was completely empty. Perfect. “Now, as I was saying- ah!”
The cup fell and smashed onto the ground as Roman dropped it, bringing his hands to the sides of his head and holding it, his eyes squeezing shut.
“Ow, my head!” Roman exclaimed, “It really hurts! What’s going- what’s- what’s…”
Patton stared at Roman, waiting for his eyes to close. Waiting for his precious prince to fall to the ground, almost dead asleep. And he waited some more.
And he watched as Roman’s eyes grew wider, and he started to bounce up and down on his toes.
“I don’t understand what’s happening!” Roman shouted, “I don’t- I don’t know why I’m shouting! I feel so energized! It’s like I drank, like, five hundred cups of coffee!”
Patton couldn’t hide his contempt anymore, nor his confusion. This wasn’t supposed to happen! Why was Roman being even louder and more obnoxious than before? To Patton’s dismay, Roman started to run around the hallway, back and forth, back and forth.
“I have so much energy, I’ve just gotta get it out somehow!” Roman said, appearing to be a strange mix of happy and terrified, “Run with me, Padre! Come on, it’ll be fun!”
In a burst of extreme frustration, Patton grabbed a fistful of Roman’s shirt and shoved him against the wall, holding him in place. Roman squirmed and fought, staring at Patton with those gorgeously innocent eyes.
“Patton, what are you-”
“Shut up!” Patton roared, “For one second of your life, shut up! You think it’s the right thing to do, shouting all your business, all your opinions, as if everyone cares about what you think all the time?? You think just because you’re Creativity, you get to bother us with every little thing that comes across your pea-sized mind?? Huh??”
“I-”
“I’m going to teach you,” Patton muttered with gritted teeth, “I have other ways to get what I want. You’re not going to win again.”
“Win what??” Roman demanded, “I thought you wanted me to say what was on my mind! Let go of me!”
Roman was a bit taller than Patton, but his strength was pathetic compared to that of a real prince. As he tried to tug Patton’s arm away, the moral side’s grip of steel remained, even as Patton started to drag Roman by his shirt towards his bedroom. Roman stumbled and clattered behind, awkwardly bending down as his back ached in protest.
“Patton, please, I don’t know what you want from me!” Roman said as Patton threw him to the ground in his bedroom, shutting and locking the door. “Why are you being so mean??”
Patton didn’t respond. He was too busy hauling a large pile of things, from trophies to photo albums to musical instruments, throwing them overtop of Roman. The heavy objects clattered to the ground around Roman, and on top of him, pinning the prince to the ground. The last thing to join the pile was a giant cloth sack, filled with metal and plastic toys.
Roman groaned softly as he fought to climb out from under the pile, but all together, it was too heavy. The memorabilia pressed down onto his legs and chest, holding him in place. Even his left arm was almost completely immobile, and what made things worse was that Roman could still feel the strangely artificial energy running through his bloodstream, begging him to be let out in some way. It felt hot and itchy, to be trapped while this was happening.
“It didn’t work, why didn’t it work??” Patton muttered to himself once the deed was done, searching desperately through his collection of elixirs.
He rooted through the silver bottles, trying to find the one he used. When he finally found it, recognizing it by the blue cap, he searched around it for some kind of label. He didn’t find one until he checked the bottom of the bottle. A large red exclamation point was printed onto a sticker. Patton looked through the other silver bottles before finding one that looked exactly the same, the only difference being a few red z’s being printed onto the bottom sticker instead.
The wrong potion. It was so simple. Patton couldn’t believe he had made such an embarrassing mistake. He looked over at Roman, still struggling against the pile that was practically suffocating him. He smirked. Maybe this would teach the prince a lesson even better.
“Hey, sugar cake,” Patton goaded gently, walking over to Roman leisurely. “We’re going to play a little game, okay?”
“Please,” Roman huffed, out of breath, “Let me go. I don’t- know what I did wrong!”
Patton stepped on Roman’s neck, his pastel-colored sneaker digging into his throat. Roman let out a strangled cry, looking up at Patton helplessly.
“This,” Patton said, addressing Roman’s mouth, “All of this. I’m going to teach you to think before you speak, and control your volume. A prince is a gentleman, and you, Roman? You still sound like a baby. A little toddler whining for his mommy whenever you want anything. Now, we’re going to have a conversation, and if you answer too loudly, or say anything ungentlemanly, I’m going to add something else to our lovely little pile here. Don’t worry, darling. You won’t die. The worst that’ll happen is that you’ll pass out. But we’re going to hope it doesn’t come to that. If you work with me, then this will all be over in a snap! Got it?”
“I-” Roman started to protest, but remembered what Patton said. “Okay…”
“Much better!” Patton praised, kneeling down and patting Roman’s head, “That wasn’t so hard, was it?”
“No,” Roman mumbled, “How…are you doing, Patton?”
“I’m delighted you asked! A point for my darling Princey!” Patton said, “I’m doing wonderfully, Roman. How are you doing?”
“Good,” Roman replied simply and softly, his body starting to tremble under the weight of the items holding him down.
“If Logan were here, he would say that the proper response would be “well”, but he’s not here, so I’m going to be merciful and allow it,” Patton decided, “You’re doing fantastic. See how easy it is to be quiet? And don’t worry, if you ever forget, we can always play this game again.”
“I won’t forget,” Roman said quickly, urgently. “I promise.”
“Good boy,” Patton praised, “Now, last question. If Padre tells Princey that he’s staying here overnight, or staying here for ten more hours, which would be the longer time spent here?”
Tears formed in Roman’s eyes.
“I- I can’t-” he gasped, “I can’t stay here for that long, it feels like it’s crushing me.”
“That’s not an answer, lovely,” Patton said, “What if I changed the question to two nights? Twenty four hours?”
“It would be the same amount of time,” Roman blurted out in a strangled breath, “Right? If it’s 9 now, and the morning time is 7, then it would be the same.”
“Look at you, being so smart!” Patton cooed, “Now, pick one.”
“But- they’re the sa-”
“I don’t like hearing rudeness, Roman. Princes aren’t rude during conversations.”
“Ten hours,” Roman whispered. At least this way, he would be able to look at the clock on the wall and count down.
A grin formed on Patton’s face.
“Wonderful,” he said, “I’ll help you out when the little hand hits the 7. Goodnight, my prince.”

lupine publishers|CT Manifestation of Abscess Occupying the Infratemporal Fossa and Temporoparietal Region in a 73-Year-Old Male- Case Report
Tumblr media
Abstract
Commonly available dental care and a widespread use of antibiotics in an outpatient setting have not eliminated odontogenic infections which may require inpatient admission as potentially life-threatening conditions. The spread of infection to the deep fascia of the head and neck may lead to severe and life-threatening complications, such as airway obstruction, mediastinitis, sepsis and septic shock, endocarditis or intracranial abscess formation. Clinical presentation of deep fasciitis of the head and neck may not correspond to the systemic deterioration in the same patient. Therefore, contrast-enhanced computed tomography should be a standard diagnostic imaging in such cases, as it enables accurate location of inflammation, whereas contrast enhancement enables differentiation between soft tissue inflammation and fluid collections based on their density relative to the one of air. It substantially aides the diagnosis, where the history and clinical presentation are inconclusive. The aim of the paper is to discuss the diagnostic management, presentation and spread of odontogenic infections of the head and neck by presenting the rare case of abscess occupying the left infratemporal fossa and temporoparietal region in a 73-year-old male.
Keywords: Craniofacial Ct; Odontogenic abscess; Odontogenic infection; Temporal fossa abscess; Phlegmon of the face; Surgical treatment
Introduction
General characteristics of head and neck infections
The head and neck infections have their distinct characteristics which differ them from the infections affecting other anatomical locations. It is primarily associated with a complex craniofacial and cervical anatomy, the presence of teeth in the oral cavity, the proximity of paranasal sinuses, abundant blood supply and the presence of vital sensory organs (visual, auditory and olfactory senses) [1,2]. Inflammation develops as a bodily defense mechanism against a noxious agent, which can be either a physical or a biological (e.g. pathogens). The bacterial infection develops as the host immune barrier becomes compromised. This is the key mechanism responsible for head and neck inflammation and infection. Pulp necrosis, periapical periodontitis with abscess formation, infected dental cysts as well as infectious complications of partially or completely impacted teeth are the main source of pathogens in head and neck infections [3,4]. Necrotised pulp of mandibular and maxillary molars, premolars and, less often, single root teeth is the most common site of origin [5-7]. Periodontitis is the aetiologic factor in 20-30% of odontogenic infections [8-10]. The second group of aetiologic factors in head and neck infections are non-odontogenic conditions, including sialadenitis, sinusitis, lymph node abnormalities, and skin infections, such as furunculus (boil). The inflammation can manifest clinically as inflammatory infiltration, abscess and the most severe form of infection, that is, phlegmon of the head and neck. Odontogenic infections are mostly cause by mixed bacterial flora. The most commonly cultured isolates include Streptococcus viridans and Klebsiella pneumoniae [10,11]. As the infection progresses, anaerobic bacteria emerge, which is associated with decreased oxyreductive potential and pH reduction in affected tissues [12-14]. Synthetic penicillin remains the drugs of choice in odontogenic infections of the head and neck, mainly due to its high efficacy, minimum side effects, easy availability and low cost. Second generation cephalosporins, belonging to the class of -lactam antibiotics, are used qually often. The main representative of this drug category is cefuroxime, which has a very broad spectrum, good penetration to the bone tissue, which is vital in treatment of odontogenic infections. It is administered parenterally in its leading pharmaceutical form in an inpatient setting. If anaerobic strain involvement is suspected, metronidazole is a treatment of choice [15-17]. The indications for antibiotic therapy include severe systemic symptoms, extensive local inflammation, immunosuppression, systemic comorbidities (diabetes, RA, liver damage) and upper face or mid-face involvement. Empirical, often combined, treatment should be started immediately and adjusted once the susceptibility testing report is available (usually 72 hours). Cultures and antimicrobial susceptibility testing aim at identifying the causal pathogens, their susceptibility to different antibiotic classes and determining the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) needed to inhibit the pathogen growth. The MIC is helpful for determining the effective dosage [18].
Infection spread within the head and neck
Spread of head and neck infections may occur in a contiguous fashion, along planes of least resistance from the supporting structures of the affected tooth to fascial spaces of the head and neck.Having crossed the strongest barrier of cortical bone and periosteum, the infection spreads along the adjacent soft tissues [18,19]. The crucial factors which determine the spread of infection include its site of origin (maxilla, mandible), anatomical relationship between the site of origin and muscle insertions/ ligaments, alongside the detailed anatomy of craniofacial and cervical fascial layers, spaces and fossae. The fascial space is referred to as the anatomical fascia-lined space, which contains loose connective tissue and additional structures. The fascia is a compact connective tissue membrane, which covers muscles, muscle groups and ensures structural integrity of the body. Its function is complex with protection and regeneration of tissue it surrounds as the key role. A thorough knowledge of the anatomy is essential to understand the passageway of infection and associated clinical signs and symptoms [20,21].
Case description
A 73-year old man presented as an emergency at the Department of Maxillofacial Surgery in Wrocław due to moderately increasing oedema of the left temporal region. He had a history of dental extraction of gangreneous roots of tooth 27 two weeks earlier under local anaesthesia, as well as chronic, treated, hypertension. He reported that 3 days following his extraction, the oedema developed “near his left ear”, which subsequently enlarged yet remained fairly asymptomatic. He did not present with any systemic symptoms such as fever, chills or malaise. The patient reported that he saw his GP about it twice, who recommended cold compresses and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Due to the problems with dental visit, GP issued a referral to hospital treatment to Maxillofacial Department. Clinically, intraoral examination revealed severe dental caries, roots of teeth 13, 23, 32, 42, 46 eligible for extraction and clinically healed dental alveolus of tooth 27 with no signs of inflammation within the left maxilla. An extraoral examination revealed significant head asymmetry. There was a massive oedema stretching from the left subtemporal space, through to the temporal and parietal region (Figures 1a-1c). The oedematous area was medium-soft, fluctuant and slightly tender upon palpation. There was no history of head or craniofacial injury. The patient was verbally responsive and oriented, in a good general condition, with no signs of fever or malaise. He was admitted to the Department of Maxillofacial Surgery as an inpatient for further diagnostic assessments and treatment.
His vital signs at admission were: temperature 36.4 C, blood pressure 140/80 and HR 100’. The patient reported using the following medications: trimetazidine MR 35mg (once a day each morning), atorvastatin 20mg (once a day each morning), ramipril 10mg (twice a day), aspirin 75mg (once a day at bedtime), and bisoprolol 5mg (once a day at bedtime). The WBC count was normal (7.34*10^3/uL, reference range 4-10*10^3/uL), but the C-reactive protein level was elevated (CRP 34.40mg/L, reference range 0-5mg/L). The contrast-enhanced CT of the head was performed immediately. The reported abnormalities included “an irregular area of oedema and inflammatory infiltration within the left masticator space and within the left subtemporal fossa with abscess formation, irregular in outline, sized 2.5 x 8.0cm and small gas collections (…). An extensive abscess and soft tissue phlegmon are present within the cranial integuments, in the left temporoparietal area. The abscess contains gas collections, is 2.7cm thick and 12cm wide (…).
The submandibular lymph nodes and lymph nodes against the carotid vessels on the left are fairly small.” The figures below present contrast-enhanced axial computed tomograms of the head and neck (Figures 2-4) and coronal (frontal) image reconstructions (Figures 5-7). In the light of the above findings, empirical intravenous antibiotic therapy was started, including biocefuroxim 1.5g every 8h, metronidazole 500mg every 8h, fluid replacement therapy (Ringer fluid 1000ml/24h) and pain management. The surgical intervention was performed right after CT scans evaluation and antibiotic deliviery. Under a general anaesthesia and orotracheal intubation, the two-step procedure was performed. The first step involved a comprehensive dental treatment-extraction of potencial inflammatory foci in oral cavity, and the second one - abscess incision and drainage. Having disinfected the skin in the left temporal area, fresh sterile drapes were put in place and the reported purulent fluid collections were incised and drained. Following a manual revision of abscess cavity recesses, a sample for microbial cultures was taken and drains were sutured in place (Figures 8,9). On subsequent days, the patient’s condition improved with decreasing amount of drained contents. On day 3. (72hrs), a negative culture for aerobic bacteria was obtained, followed by a positive culture for anaerobic bacteria on day 6. Gemella Morbillorum was isolated, resistant to metronidazole and susceptible to amoxicillin and clindamycin. Gemella morbillorum is Gram-positive, facultatively anaerobic and non-spore forming coccus. G. morbillorum liveas as a commensal organism of the mucous membranes of the human oropharynx, gastrointerstinal and female genital tracts [21].
The antibiotic treatment was adjusted accordingly replacing metronidazole with clindamycin 600 mg every 12 hrs and leaving biocefuroxim dosage unchanged. The decision was guided by susceptibility test findings and the fact that clindamycin itself has fairly low efficacy against Gram-negative aerobic bacteria [17]. The laboratory tests were repeated 5 days later, with a CRP reduction to 13.37mg/L. One day later, the follow-up contrast-enhanced CT of the head and neck was performed (Figures 10,11). The report stated that “the previously reported extensive inflammatory infiltration and soft tissue abscess within the left craniofacial area was incised and drained, subsequently reducing in size (…). The inflammatory lesions within the temporal and subtemportal fossa as well as within the masticator space have also slightly decreased in size”. The patient was hospitalised for 18 days. One day prior to scheduled discharge, the drains were removed and laboratory tests repeated. The findings included CRP reduction to 4.91mg/L [reference range 0-5.0mg/L] and almost completely resolved oedema. The patient was discharged home with continued course of antibiotics (clincamycin 600 mg PO twice a day), wound cleaning and dressing change instructions and a follow-up appointment at the Maxillofacial Clinic booked in 7 days.
Discussion
Odontogenic infections still constitute a major group of head and neck infections [2-4]. An infection presenting as local infiltration or abscess may develop secondarily to pathogenic flora presence in necrotic pulp or after any intraoral/ dental procedures involving the alveolar process. The most common procedure is dental extraction, which is always associated with bacteriemia. With local and/or systemic vulnerability and risk factors, dental extraction may lead to a local or-very rarely-systemic infection. The treatment of choice in abscesses is a surgical intervention including incision and drainage, in some cases accompanied by medical treatment [6,8,11]. The decision of inpatient admission can be very challenging at times. It should be informed by a thorough history, clinical assessment and diagnostic imaging [12,20]. Any potential life-threatening conditions associated with dyspnoea warrant inpatient admission. Similarly, intraoral abscesses, including canine fossa abscesses, should be treated surgically under general anaesthesia. The infection spread in this case via the route typical of maxillary molars, along the subtemporal space, extending through the temporal space, up to the parietal area [10-13]. Effective treatment of odontogenic infections of the head and neck requires accurate diagnosis. It should be noted that the severity of the general condition may not correspond to the clinical presentation, especially with the involvement of parapharyngeal or pterygomandibular spaces [9,13,20]. Contrastenhanced computed tomography is a diagnostic imaging modality of choice in extensive infections of the head and neck, as it enables precise location of the inflammation, especially with the infection spread to the deep fascia of the head and neck. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography helps to differentiate between the nature of the condition (inflammatory infiltration, abscess, phlegmon) and precisely determines its location, identifying the surgical target [1,16,13]. The abscess occupying the infratemporal, temporal and parietal fossae may also be occurred by trauma or laryngological causes. However odontogenic infections constitiute over 49% in head and neck region [1,14,16].

Root Canal Treatment in Ranip: Things to Know Before Undergoing RCT
Are you experiencing persistent tooth pain or sensitivity? You might need root canal therapy! Before you undergo this common dental procedure, it's essential to understand what it entails. Let's delve into the details of root canal treatment and how it can benefit you.
Understanding Root Canal Therapy
Root canal treatment is also known as endodontic therapy. It is a dental procedure designed to address issues within the inner portion of the tooth. To comprehend root canal therapy, let's explore the anatomy of a tooth. Beneath the hard enamel lies the pulp, a hollow chamber containing blood vessels, nerves, and connective tissue. This pulp is responsible for nourishing the tooth during its development and providing sensation.
When is Root Canal Treatment Necessary?
The following symptoms may indicate the need for root canal therapy in Ranip:
Persistent tooth pain: Continuous or recurring pain in a tooth, especially when not in use or during the night, can be a sign of underlying infection or inflammation within the tooth's pulp.
Sensitivity to hot and cold temperatures: Feeling sharp or intense pain when consuming hot or cold foods or beverages may suggest nerve irritation or damage within the tooth.
Swollen gums or the presence of a pimple on the gums: Swelling or the formation of a pimple-like bump on the gums near a specific tooth can indicate the presence of infection spreading from the tooth's root.
Swelling in the jaw: Inflammation and swelling in the jaw area, particularly around the affected tooth, may occur as a result of infection spreading from the tooth's root into surrounding tissues.
Discoloration of the affected tooth: Darkening or grayish discoloration of a tooth can be a sign of pulp damage or death, indicating the need for root canal therapy to remove the infected tissue.
Pain when applying pressure to the tooth: Experiencing discomfort or pain when biting down or applying pressure to a specific tooth may indicate nerve irritation or inflammation within the tooth's pulp.
A chipped or cracked tooth: Damage to the tooth's structure, such as a chip or crack, can create openings that allow bacteria to penetrate the inner pulp, leading to infection and necessitating root canal therapy.
Looseness of the affected tooth: Mobility or looseness of a tooth, particularly when not associated with trauma or injury, may indicate underlying issues with the tooth's root and surrounding structures, necessitating evaluation and potential root canal therapy.If you experience any of these symptoms, it's crucial to consult with a top dentist in Ranip for evaluation and treatment.
Understanding the Root Canal Procedure
Root canal therapy in Ahmedabad typically involves the following steps:
Local Anesthesia: The area around the affected tooth is numbed using local anesthetic to ensure a pain-free procedure.
Removal of Infected Pulp: The infected or inflamed pulp is carefully removed from the tooth to eliminate the source of the problem.
Cleaning and Shaping: The inside of the tooth is thoroughly cleaned and shaped to prepare it for filling.
Filling and Sealing: The root canal is filled with a biocompatible material called gutta-percha to seal it and prevent reinfection.
Temporary Crown Placement: A temporary crown is placed over the tooth to protect it until a permanent crown can be installed.
Is Root Canal Treatment Painful?
Contrary to popular belief, root canal treatment in Ranip is not as painful as the toothache caused by infection or decay. Modern anesthetics and pain management techniques ensure that patients are comfortable throughout the procedure. Any discomfort following the treatment can be managed with prescribed medication.
Conclusion: Restoring Oral Health with Root Canal Therapy in Ahmedabad 
In conclusion, root canal therapy in Ranip is a highly effective procedure for relieving tooth pain and saving damaged teeth. If you're experiencing dental discomfort, consult with a reputable dentist in Ahmedabad who offers root canal treatment in Ranip to restore your oral health and preserve your smile.

Comprehensive Overview of Tree Services: Maintaining Green Landscapes
Introduction:
Trees are not only essential for the environment but also play a crucial role in enhancing the beauty of landscapes. However, they require proper care and maintenance to thrive and remain healthy. Tree services encompass a wide range of activities aimed at preserving, protecting, and enhancing the health and appearance of trees. From pruning and trimming to disease management and removal, tree services are essential for maintaining green spaces. This comprehensive overview will delve into various aspects of tree services, highlighting their importance and the different techniques involved.

Professional arborists employ safe and efficient methods to fell trees, ensuring minimal impact on the surrounding environment.
Stump removal or grinding is often performed following tree removal to eliminate tripping hazards and prevent regrowth.
Tree Health Assessment and Diagnosis:
Regular assessment and diagnosis of tree health are essential for identifying potential issues early and implementing appropriate treatments.
Arborists inspect trees for signs of disease, pest infestations, structural weaknesses, and environmental stressors.
Diagnostic tools such as soil analysis, aerial inspections, and laboratory tests help determine the underlying causes of tree health problems.
Disease and Pest Management:
Trees are susceptible to various diseases and pests that can weaken or kill them if left untreated.
Tree service professionals employ integrated pest management (IPM) strategies to control pests and diseases while minimizing environmental impact.
Treatment methods may include pruning infected branches, applying fungicides or insecticides, and improving soil health to boost tree immunity.
Tree Planting and Transplanting:
Proper tree selection, placement, and planting techniques are crucial for the successful establishment of new trees.
Arborists assess site conditions, including soil type, sunlight exposure, and space availability, to determine the most suitable species for planting.
Transplanting involves relocating mature trees to new locations, requiring specialized equipment and expertise to minimize stress and ensure survival.
Emergency Tree Services:

Emergency tree services provide rapid response to mitigate hazards, clear debris, and restore safety to affected areas.
Trained professionals utilize specialized equipment and techniques to safely remove fallen trees and limbs while minimizing further damage.
Tree Preservation and Conservation:
Urbanization and development pose significant threats to tree populations, leading to habitat loss and environmental degradation.
Tree preservation efforts aim to protect existing trees during construction projects through measures such as root zone protection, pruning, and soil management.
Urban forestry initiatives promote the conservation and expansion of tree canopy cover to mitigate climate change, improve air quality, and enhance urban livability.
Conclusion:
Tree services play a vital role in maintaining healthy, vibrant landscapes and preserving the numerous benefits that trees provide to ecosystems and communities. From routine maintenance tasks like pruning and trimming to specialized services such as disease management and emergency response, arborists and tree care professionals employ expertise and dedication to ensure the longevity and vitality of our green spaces. By understanding the importance of tree services and investing in proactive care, we can safeguard our natural heritage and enjoy the many benefits of thriving urban forests for generations to come.

How Ayurveda Help Treat Alopecia
Alopecia or hair loss, in Ayurveda, is viewed as a manifestation of imbalances within the body, which can result from factors such as poor diet, stress, hormonal fluctuations, or environmental influences. The Ayurvedic treatment for hair loss is intricately tailored to address the unique constitution and underlying imbalances of the individual. This personalized approach underscores the fundamental principle of restoring harmony within the body rather than merely suppressing symptoms. Besides, Ayurvedic diagnosis considers not just the symptoms but also the individual's constitution (Prakriti) and current imbalances (Vikriti), enabling tailored treatment strategies that address the root cause of alopecia.
Let's have a look at some of the common Ayurvedic remedies for hair loss.
1. Bhringraj (Eclipta alba)
Bhringraj possesses properties that strengthen hair follicles and prevent hair breakage and premature shedding. Its rich content of proteins, vitamins, and minerals nourishes the hair shaft, making it stronger, thicker, and more resilient to damage. Regular use of Bhringraj oil or supplements can thus help minimize hair fall and promote the growth of healthy, vibrant hair. In addition, Bhringraj supplements can also be consumed orally to complement its benefits for hair health. When taken internally, Bhringraj helps address underlying imbalances that may contribute to hair loss, such as stress, hormonal fluctuations, and nutritional deficiencies. Its adaptogenic properties aid in restoring balance to the body, supporting overall well-being and promoting healthy hair growth from within.
2. Amla (Emblica officinalis)
Amla or Indian Gooseberry is rich in vitamin C and the regular consumption of fresh Amla fruit or its juice provides a potent source of essential nutrients for hair health. Incorporating Amla into your diet helps nourish the scalp from within, providing the necessary building blocks for strong and lustrous hair growth. Moreover, Amla's high antioxidant content helps protect hair follicles from oxidative stress and environmental aggressors, mitigating factors that contribute to hair fall and premature hair loss.
3. Brahmi (Bacopa monnieri)
Chronic stress can disrupt hormonal balance, leading to conditions such as alopecia areata, where the immune system attacks hair follicles. By calming the mind and alleviating stress, Brahmi helps restore hormonal equilibrium and mitigate the underlying factors contributing to hair loss. Brahmi can be utilized topically in various forms for promoting hair health. Furthermore, Brahmi oil, prepared by infusing Brahmi leaves or powder into a carrier oil, is commonly used as a scalp treatment. Speaking of which, massaging Brahmi oil into the scalp nourishes hair follicles, improves blood circulation, and delivers vital nutrients directly to the roots. This not only strengthens the hair from within but also enhances scalp health, reducing inflammation and irritation that may impede hair growth.
4. Neem (Azadirachta indica)
Neem oil, extracted from Neem seeds, serves as a potent topical remedy for treating scalp infections and nourishing hair follicles. When applied to the scalp, Neem oil penetrates deep into the skin layers, exerting its antimicrobial effects and promoting a healthy scalp environment. Regular use of Neem oil helps eliminate bacteria and fungi, reduce inflammation, and soothe irritated skin, thereby creating optimal conditions for hair growth. Moreover, Neem's antiseptic properties help prevent bacterial and fungal overgrowth on the scalp, reducing the risk of recurring infections and maintaining scalp health in the long term. 
5. Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera)
Ashwagandha supports hair health by modulating the body's stress response and reducing cortisol levels, promoting a sense of calm and relaxation. By incorporating Ashwagandha into your daily regimen, you can help manage stress levels and promote emotional well-being, ultimately supporting optimal hair health from within. Also, consuming Ashwagandha supplements or Ashwagandha tea provides a convenient and effective means of harnessing its stress-relieving benefits. Ashwagandha supplements are available in various forms, including capsules, powders, and liquid extracts, allowing for flexible and personalized dosing options.
6. Coconut Oil
Coconut oil is a popular Ayurvedic remedy for hair care, known for its nourishing and moisturizing properties. Moreover, coconut oil's unique composition of fatty acids, including lauric acid, capric acid, and caprylic acid, provides deep hydration and nourishment to the hair and scalp. These fatty acids help seal moisture into the hair shaft, preventing dryness, brittleness, and breakage. Regular use of coconut oil as a scalp massage oil or hair treatment can help restore moisture balance, enhance hair elasticity, and reduce the risk of split ends and breakage.
7. Aloe Vera
Aloe vera's anti-inflammatory properties help calm irritation, reduce redness, and alleviate itching, making it particularly beneficial for individuals dealing with scalp conditions such as dandruff, eczema, or psoriasis. By soothing the scalp, aloe vera creates an optimal environment for hair follicles to thrive and promotes a healthier scalp microbiome, which is essential for optimal hair growth. Additionally, regular application of aloe vera gel directly to the scalp or incorporation into hair masks helps restore moisture balance, leaving the scalp hydrated, nourished, and revitalized.
8. Dietary Modifications
In Ayurveda, diet plays a crucial role in promoting hair health. Hence, consuming a balanced diet rich in vitamins, minerals, and proteins is essential for nourishing hair follicles and promoting hair growth. Foods such as leafy greens, nuts, seeds, whole grains, and lean proteins should be incorporated into the diet for optimal hair health. In addition to these nutrient-rich foods, it's important to stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water throughout the day as proper hydration helps maintain the elasticity of the hair and prevents dryness and brittleness.
Conclusion
The diverse array of Ayurvedic remedies for Alopecia, including herbs like Bhringraj, Amla, Brahmi, Neem, and Ashwagandha, provide multifaceted support for nourishing the scalp, strengthening hair follicles, and restoring balance to the body's doshas. Moreover, Ayurveda emphasizes the importance of dietary modifications, encouraging the consumption of nutrient-rich foods to support optimal hair health from the inside out. All in all, by embracing the holistic principles of Ayurveda and integrating its time-tested remedies into your daily life, you can cultivate a deeper understanding of your hair health and empower yourself to embark on a journey toward optimal well-being. However, make sure to approach an expert Ayurvedic practitioner to get a personalized experience and better results.

This article aims to provide an in-depth understanding of root canal treatment, its significance, and the importance of seeking timely Root Canal Treatment Morton Grove IL.
Understanding Root Canal Treatment:
Root canal treatment, also known as endodontic therapy, is a procedure performed to remove infected or inflamed pulp from inside the tooth. The pulp, located at the center of the tooth, contains nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissues. When bacteria penetrate the tooth's protective layers due to decay, cracks, or trauma, it can lead to infection and inflammation of the pulp.
Symptoms of pulp infection or inflammation may include severe tooth pain, sensitivity to hot and cold temperatures, swelling of the gums, and persistent bad breath. If left untreated, the infection can spread to the surrounding tissues and result in abscess formation, bone loss, and ultimately, tooth loss.
The Process of Root Canal Treatment:
1. Diagnosis: The first step in root canal treatment is a thorough examination and diagnosis by a dentist in Morton Grove, IL. The dentist will assess the tooth's condition using X-rays and clinical tests to determine the extent of the infection and the need for root canal therapy.

3. Accessing the Pulp: Once the tooth is numb, the dentist will create a small opening in the crown to access the infected or inflamed pulp chamber and root canals.
4. Cleaning and Shaping: Using specialized instruments, the dentist will carefully remove the infected pulp tissue, clean the root canals, and shape them to prepare for filling.
5. Filling the Canals: After thorough cleaning and shaping, the root canals are filled with a biocompatible material called gutta-percha to seal them and prevent further infection.
6. Restoration: Following the completion of the root canal procedure, the tooth is restored with a filling or crown to strengthen and protect it from future damage.
Benefits of Root Canal Treatment:
- Pain Relief: Root canal treatment alleviates the severe tooth pain caused by pulp infection, providing immediate relief to patients in Morton Grove, IL.
- Preservation of Natural Teeth: By removing the infected pulp and sealing the root canals, root canal therapy helps preserve the natural tooth structure and prevents the need for extraction.

What Causes Tooth Decay?
Tooth decay occurs when human teeth are exposed to acidic drinks high in starch, sugar, and acids, which can lead to the development of cavities. For instance, refined carbohydrates found in white bread and cereals act similarly to sugar, contributing to cavity formation.
Despite advancements in dental science, the prevalence of tooth decay remains puzzling. Tooth decay begins as a bacterial infection that can be transferred from person to person, yet it is also preventable. Bacteria combine with acidic and starchy foods, as well as saliva, to form a layer on the teeth known as plaque. Over time, plaque hardens into tartar, which contains millions of bacteria.
Studies have revealed that the number of bacteria present in tartar is comparable to the number found in feces. These bacteria invade the enamel, the body's strongest substance, and break down the tooth structure. Enamel covers the crown portion of the tooth, beneath which lies dentin, housing the pulp containing blood vessels and nerves. When bacteria penetrate the enamel and reach the pulp, root canal treatment, post-core buildup, and porcelain crowns may be necessary.
Dentists at Crest Family Dental and Purple Dental aim to reduce the number of disease-causing bacteria to prevent tooth decay. Brushing and flossing frequency also play crucial roles in decay prevention. Misaligned teeth, crowns with open margins, and failing implants create environments conducive to bacterial growth. Identifying and addressing these risk factors is essential for reducing bacterial numbers. Numerous studies indicate that controlling bacterial populations significantly reduces tooth decay. For personalized care and prevention strategies, contact us at 860-251-6999.
