1000 Follower Celebration binge (tomorrow!)

we've reached the end of the week! tomorrow i get to wake up, and indulge myself in a full day of gluttony 🤭 i'm so excited to celebrate 1000 followers!

For those who might've missed, the number of calories i have to eat tomorrow was determined by YOU all. Recorded over the past week, the sum of all Notes, New Followers, and Total Followers are added together.

3118 + 223 + 1157 = 4500 calories!

This blog had a huge boom this week, shattering previous note records, and a deluge of followers. I didn't think it would be possible to get this many calories for the challenge, I think I'll really struggle to pack them all in 😅 but I look forward to documenting the process for all of you! Tomorrow's going to be a GREAT day!

MOTHER KNOWS BEST?

After reading Nightcrawlers #1 (and after Legion of X), I can safely say that of the four Essex clones, Mother Righteous is my favorite.

But that's not really saying much, is it?

That's like asking, "Who's your favorite fascist dictator?" or "Which plague was your favorite?"

And it's not even like it's a matter of choosing the Lesser or Four Evils, because I don't for a second believe that she's the least evil of the four of them. By all accounts of what we've been shown, I'd go so far as to say she's probably the most evil, using Faith as both a weapon and a collar for her followers, getting them to believe in something as she uses them to accomplish Her goals.

She's perfectly willing to manipulate the faith of the Nightcrawler clones and paint herself as a holy figure while demonizing everyone else, including Storm.

In her own words, she works for nobody but herself.

As would benefit any version of Nathaniel Essex.

But I think the reason I like her best is her lack of Ego... or, at the very least, her lack of Vanity. She's under no illusion or self delusions about being the original Essex and has quickly cast that element that so plagues the other three aside.

But that, in turn, I think is what makes her the most dangerous.

She very easily moved past her own vanity and set about accomplishing her own goals. She's not overcome with the desire to paint the universe with her own face (♦️) or rid humanity of mutants(♣️), or achieve Dominion (♠️). Granted, we don't know what her plans are at the moment, aside from the fact that she wants to reset the timeline, but to what end we don't know.

What we do know is that, like the other Essex, she is perfectly fine with sacrificing others to accomplish those ends. Like Sinister during his attempts to assassinate the Quiet Council, she's willing to use this Legion to her own ends.

R.I.P. Wallcrawler, we hardly knew ye.

The only person I currently see wising up to her shenanigans is Banshee/Vox Ignis. Sean's already suspicious of her methods and the Spirit of Variance seems to be coming around that not everything is on the up'n'up with their Holy Mother.

At the end of the day, we know that when the Sins of Sinister ends, she will end up working with the other three Essex Clones, probably because everyone will be coming for them after all the shit that's going to go down by the time we reach the year 1000.

Either way, I'm not only looking forward to seeing how this all plays out, but to seeing more of Mother Righteous herself. Maybe in a more magic-based setting?

more super fun facts about sukuna that are lost in translation that i'll incorporate occasionally in my writing of replies ! this man speaks in ancient , out dated japanese at times , it's a verbal tic that one can use to distinguish his way of speaking from someone else's , like yuji's casual , modern way . not only his vocal tone being deeper , but his terms are strictly outdated . he uses old idioms , exchanges words , and borrows from poems and haikus . - sukuna's use if the word " misete " , translated in english as " enchant me , compel me , fascinate me " . he's saying " show me what you've got , fushiguro megumi ! " in oudated tongue , challenging him to go all out with his shikigami . he uses this again later to mahogara , shouting at it that it no longer obeys megumi or the zen'in , it obeys him and him alone . - the word " keikatsu " is a word he uses in chapter 3 , super early on . now , the word " keikatsu " is ancient , and stolen from a chinese poem almost 2 - 3 thousand years ago , not only proving he was sentient these past 1000 years , but also proving that he's quite the consumer of art . the original poem goes like this : " to live or to die , together or apart , you and i , we've made an oath , to hold hand in hand , until we're old " . this is part of the binding vow he makes with yuji to return him to life . - he uses " shiremono " , which would sound super ancient to anyone speaking modern japanese . no one even says " shiremono " anymore , they use the more typical and common " baka " for " idiot " . sukuna's talking in a tongue only cultured or experienced sorcerers might understand . mahito , who he's saying this to , wouldn't grasp the outdated nature of the word , if he even knows it at all . - in chapter 199 , he calls himself " the disgraced one / the fallen one " using " daten " daten implies " fallen ( from heaven ) " , and the later " datenshi " is " fallen angel " . angel's purpose as a " tenshi ( angel ) " is to banish " datenshi " or the fallen angel . again , this is less common tongue , and in modern tongue , it means to strike . - yorozo mentions that she'll " create a haiku " , and it goes as follows : even the handsome boys get flaky when hung to dry , but it sure is cute " . upon sukuna hearing it , he cringes and makes a face before asking " kigo wa ? " which is " where's the seasonal word ? " , implying that she's bad at writing haiku . haiku is 5-7-5 , with " seasonal words " or kigo . - when talking with uraume , he mentions ( in english ) " as always , your hands help reach the right spot for me " . this is in reference to scrubbing someone's back in a japanese bath , which means that he and uraume are exceptionally close , that uraume is his assistant . - he calls gojo a " nameless fish " , using " uo " , an ancient word for fish . he also calls the fingerbearer " orosu " , similarly . sukuna speaks in a distinctive way compared to yuji's modern lingo and megumi's refined way of speaking . sukuna uses ancient vocabulary. someone like gojo and megumi might understand the implications of these words , but it also shows that sukuna sees jujutsu as an art he is extremely passionate about perfecting . cooking , haiku making , poetry , sukuna himself isn't a brute through and through , he was once very refined & carries that knowledge into today .

i do mean it. i feel like we were meant to live in villages where everyone knows each other and contributes and stuff and stuff

it'll benefit everyone

Everyone would feel included

It's on a small scale

It's modest

Nobody's aiming too high

Goals can be achieved

Everyone cooperates

issue is

Everyone dies

Some people reproduce

Eventually the village will have a totally new group of people there than the original group who all agreed to run this village properly, according to their original vision

The new people might have different ambitions , goals

The village folk turned parents can of course stop that by creating a Truman show effect

Their kids can't know anything about the outside world

The village is the entire world

No culture no information nothing about the world outside the village

The issue with the Truman show was that the protagonist knew about the outside world because within his world, there was real world culture because there HAD to be because his entire life was being broadcast as a reality TV show as if he was living in the real world

So this village would have to be the entire world to the people who live there

Essentially the village is a prison. But that's fine because planet earth is a prison and the only way to get past the guards who guard planet earth is to wear a funny suit and fly in a rocket

But here's the thing

Why did humans want to leave earth in the first place ?

Well, we knew about space before we went there

Why?

We wanted to find out

Nobody told us anything

We told ourselves

We evolved

Our brains evolved

we worked things out

Collectively through society, we learnt

Society can be viewed as one massive human

This human is maybe at preschool right now

They have a long way to go

But they've left home right?

We've left earth , in a sense , we are familiarising ourselves with other planets beyond our own

Just as a kid would with other kids in kindergarten or preschool or whatever

Anyway not a perfect analogy but you get the idea

Things happen naturally

This village might last the way it is for a very long time

What's the population?

Let's say 1000

Will it increase? Will it follow the pattern that humanity has followed through its own collective history?

Will it be different because the village was artificially initiated by a group of people with a human goal rather than the god with an incomprehensible goal who initiated humanity through evolution?

You overthink too much

I don't think Enough

I think too little

So I'm always wrong

And that makes me reconsider

So

A way to circumvent procreation would be to become immortal

Let's say these village folk never die

They reach a healthy physical age and then stop, with the only thing "ageing" being their minds

How long will it take for them to become their own unborn children? For their ideals to change so drastically that they become a completely different person? Will that actually happen? Will enough time do that to someone? I mean, it happens to people now, mortal people, with very short expiry dates. A person isn't one person but many people, depending on their age. This is the 4th dimension. Time.

I had more to write. I got sick of writing. I'm too lazy to write more but. I want to get this out so. Here it is. Enjoy and take care.

Litecoin price prediction: What will be the expected price on 2025?

Litecoin (LTC) is a cryptocurrency created from a fork on the Bitcoin blockchain in 2011. It was originally designed to address developers' concerns that Bitcoin was becoming more centralized and to make it more difficult for large mining companies to gain a upper hand in mining. Although in the end it stopped mining companies taking the lion's share of Litecoin mining, the cryptocurrency has reinvented itself into a mineable coin and a peer-to-peer payment system. Like bitcoin, litecoin is a form of digital currency. Using blockchain technology, Litecoin can be used to transfer funds directly between individuals or businesses. This ensures that the public accounts of all transactions are recorded and allows the fund to operate a seamless payment system without government oversight or scrutiny.

 Litecoin (LTC) is an off spring of Bitcoin cryptocurrency created by Charlie Lee in 2011. Litecoin is designed to enable low-cost peer-to-peer payments. It is one of the top 5 cryptocurrencies by market capitalization.

Litecoin market captitalization?

Litecoin market capitalization at the beginning of 2020 was the highest on record, more than 10 billion US dollars and the value increased by 100% since August 2020. The market cap is calculated by multiplying the number of Litecoins distributed by the price of Litecoin. However, when compared to Bitcoin's market cap and Ethereum's market cap, Litecoin's number is relatively small. The live price of Litecoin (LTC) today is $54.8532, and while Litecoin is currently distributed at 71,236,643.78 LTC, its market capitalization stands at $3,907,560,273. In the last 24 hours, the price of LTC moved $1.4915 or 0.03% while $223,837,200 of LTC was traded on various exchanges. The evaluation of LTC currently places it in 23rd place in the cryptocurrency market based on market capitalization.

Litecoin (LTC) live price today is $54.8411, and given that Litecoin is currently distributed at 71,236,643.78 LTC, its market capitalization is $3,906,697,912. In the last 24 hours, the price of LTC moved $1.4915 or 0.03% while $223,837,200 of LTC was traded on various exchanges. The evaluation of LTC currently places it in 23rd place in the cryptocurrency market based on market capitalization.

Trading history of Litecoin?

There have been some interesting moments in the long history of Litecoin price, and if you want to know more about its movements, you have come to the right place. We've compiled everything you need to know about Litecoin's past price action - and various factors affecting it.

After its launch, Litecoin's growth was aided by its availability and increased liquidity in early exchanges such as BTC-e. During the month of November 2013, the absolute value of Litecoin experienced a huge growth that included a 100% increase in 24 hours.

When Litecoin was first introduced in 2011, two years after Bitcoin, it gained momentum and reached a price per coin of $0.30. By mid-November 2013, Litecoin's price had risen above $4, then in less than a week, it had risen over 1000% to a high of around $50. This was followed, however, by a sudden crash below $10 and the previous high would not move for a few years.

A/N: You guessed it; we did another Drunken Drabbles last night (which if you ever want to play, please join us! My buddies @chemist-ana, @jstawriterbee, & @kat-tia801 joined me last night--check out their DD! They actually have smut!), and this one is brought to you be Deep Eddie's Vodka. As far as the challenge? I broke every. single. rule. First of all, I passed out before I could schedule to post this, so here I am, 2.5 hours late. Second, I didn't use the prompt. There is literally no prompt to this. Third, I'm well over 1000 word. And finally, there is no smut. Nada. Zilch. What the hell happened last night? *rubs head* Some characters and plot belong to Pixelberry. Also, no editing or pre-reading with this bad boy, so please forgive me! Enjoy! 😎

***

Depositing a dollop of hand sanitizer in her palm, newly appointed Chief of Obstetrics Dr. Tatum Erikson escorts a nurse out of a labor patient's room. “Let’s go ahead and start that amnio,” she orders as she rubs her hands together. "300 bolus followed by 80 an hour. Call me if--" the chime of her pager interrupts her. "Shit."

"Ma'am?"

Tatum rubs her temples. "Sorry--um--" she looks back at her pager. "--call me if those decels don't resolve in thirty minutes--" she begins to jog down the birthing center's corridor, heading towards the stairs to exit the unit.

She bolts down the six flights, reaching the ground level at a rapid speed. She rounds the corner, pushing past the double doors next to a large red-and-white illuminated sign: Emergency. She sees the commotion ahead and a patient being transferred from a stretcher, not responsive.

"I'm Dr. Erikson," she frantically calls out over the chaos of the room. "I was paged 911. What've we got?" As a seasoned EMT rattles off vital signs and history, Tatum instantly recognizes Karla Hogan, a patient she saw this morning at her 38-week check-up appointment.

Oh, God, no... Please no...

"...she was found unresponsive at the scene of the MVA. Asystole. CPR in process for 17 minutes--"

"Epi? We've given epi?"

"Yes--"

"Atropine?"

"Maxed."

No, no, no. This can't be happening…

"Doctor, how would you like to proceed--?"

"Put a goddamn fetal monitor on my patient," she barks, turning to a nurse nearby. "You," she points, "page OB STAT Emergency overhead. I need an OR now--"

"It won't make a difference," bellows a cold, baritone voice from the doorway of the room.

Tatum freezes, the hairs on the back of her neck standing on end. She knows that hauntingly deep voice: a voice that once made her giggle incessantly during the day while he purred her name late into the night; a voice that encouraged her, comforted her, believed in her all through medical school; a voice that once laid claim to her hand and her heart--that is until that voice found her in bed with his best friend. She knows that frigid tone anywhere.

"Ramsey," she mutters.

"A postmortem c-section?" He condescendingly questions, strolling confidently into the room. "She's been down for how long--?"

"But, if these chest compressions have been adequate, there's a chance--"

"She was gone before they even started--" he nonchalantly interjects as he begins testing the patient's reflexes.

"Doctor Ramsey," she chides before being abruptly interrupted by a trauma nurse.

"Dr. Erikson, I think I hear a heartbeat, but it's low and slow." Tatum nervously nods, taking a few deep breaths.

"That's good enough for me," she kindly thanks the nurse. "Alright, team," she boldly orders, "Let's get her ready for a cesarean." She turns to a nearby technician. "Where the hell is my OB team?"

"They've been paged--"

"Page them again," orders Tatum.

"But, doctor--"

"Page them again," Tatum's tone becomes more stern as she starts grabbing surgical materials. Slipping on a scrub hat, she turns to look into a pair of familiar, crystal blue eyes. "When's the last time you did surgery, Ramsey?"

The tall provider sardonically chuckles. "It's been a while," he crosses his arms, "but, it's not happening right now--"

Tatum scoffs. "Let's get her prepped people. Move!"

"Dr. Erikson," Ethan hollers, a warning in his tone. "You will not be performing this--"

"Watch me." Tatum fervently assists the nurses and technicians in positioning the gravid body. "If you've got a problem, take it up with the chief. This is my call--"

"Already have," Ethan snidely rebuttals, "and it's my call." Tatum stops applying her surgical mask, slowly turning her attention to his towering frame. Her wide eyes slowly trace down from his face to the embroidery of his white coat: Dr. Ethan J. Ramsey, Chief of Medicine.

Tatum blinks her lashes in confusion. "Where's Dr. Banerji?"

"Not here," Ethan smirks, raising an eyebrow. "Now will you be reasonable?"

"Reasonable?" She feels the anger burning inside her as she fights back the stinging pain of tears. Her eyes glisten with earnest pleading. "Ethan," she beckons under her breath, "We could save a life."

Ethan runs his hand over his face, allowing his fingers to rest against his chin. "Tatum, I--"

"Please. Do this," she swallows deeply, her voice reducing to a whisper, "for me?" Ethan's gaze fixes on his former love, a flash of memories flood before his eyes leaving the pair in a palpable stillness.

"Nurse," he calls out from over his shoulder, "I need a size eight glove."

***

"You want me to--"

"I can do it."

Ethan and Tatum walk in silence to the waiting room to retrieve Karla Hogan's husband. Recognizing him instantly, Tatum invites him to follow him to a more private room to talk.

"Just--just say it, Dr. Erikson." Tatum stuns in her steps, slowly turning to face the tearful husband and father-to-be. "Please don't make me take one more step, one more second not knowing that the love of my life--that she, my Karla--" his voice falls into sobs.

"We--we did everything--" Tatum's voice runs hoarse as tears drip from her cheeks. She clears her throat. "Mr. Hogan, I--I--" A sudden tunnel of darkness clouds around her head, the room falling silent. She feels her heart begin to panic, thundering in her chest as her breathing becomes more shallow. She's had this difficult discussion before with family members; but death in the maternity ward is never something one should get used to.

Suddenly, Ethan gently puts a hand on Tatum's shoulder, a comforting touch that always brought her back to reality. She takes a few deep breaths, looking up at him. He gives a curt nod as he squeezes her shoulder, stepping forward to talk.

"Mr. Hogan, we did everything we could…"

Tatum slips off her scrub cap, letting platinum blonde wisps cascade down her face. All she can picture in her head is Karla, how she was full of hope this morning‐‐they both were. And in the blink of an eye

"... but thanks to this skillful doctor right here," Tatum is pulled from her thoughts by Ethan's words as he points to her. "--your newborn baby girl is waiting for you, recovering in our Neonatal Intensive Care Unit."

***

After leading the emotional father up to meet his daughter, Tatum turns on her heel, making her way back to her laboring patients in the birthing center. But, before she exits the NICU, she discovers Ethan finishing a conversation with one of the neonatologists. Their eyes meet.

“Proud of you today, Tate,” Ethan offers a crooked smile.

Tatum dramatically steps closer to Ethan, crossing her arms as she raises an eyebrow. “Pardon me,” she lifts a hand up to cup her ears, “but did you just say, ‘You were right, Tatum; I was wrong’?”

Ethan pinches between his eyes while his other hand rests on his hip. “I’m never wrong--”

“Today you were--” she jovial pokes at him.

“You got lucky--”

“And you’re still bitter--”

“‘Bitter’?” Ethan scoffs, “of you--?”

“That someone’s medical intuition rivals your own--”

“Dare to dream, Dr. Erikson, but we both know exactly what your intuition is capable of--” The moment the words left his lips, a painful apologetic look plagues Ethan’s eyes as he watches the stunned hurt flash across hers. A thick silence floods between them, both of them unsure how to recover from such a low-blow of a remark. Tatum stares at the floor, unsure if she should just walk away.

“Tatum, I--” she shakes her head, waving her arm to dismiss the inevitable apology. She just wasn’t sure when she would stop paying for the sins of her past.

“So,” she tries to change subjects as a mischievous grin grows across her face. "I missed the memo. You're my boss."

"I'm your boss," he chuckles, crossing his arms.

"Hrmmm," Tatum raises her eyebrows, turning towards the door as a silence falls between them, again. She motions for the automatic door to open.

"Hrmmm what?" Ethan questions, turning towards her as the doors slowly open.

"Oh, I was just thinking," she lowers her voice, placing her hand on his arm. Ethan bites his lower lip as his cheeks begin to flush. His eyes flutter down to her lips before drifting back to her gaze. He swallows thickly.

"A-About what?" His tone matches hers.

She giggles letting go of his arm. She makes her way through the automatic doors and back en route to her department. But, not before she calls out over shoulder in a dark, sensually husky voice: "It wouldn't be the first time--" she twirls on her heel to look at him one more time, giving him a wink and a knowing smile, "--sir."
