ay sis didn't you have a post about a covid vax that maintains like an 80% protection rate after a few months where normal Moderna is like 30-40%? I can't find it anymore

Elevated levels of antibodies is the actual figure, even if studies call it "protection." It's not a one to one ratio, even if covid didn't rapidly mutate toward immune escape with each new generation. I just wanted to make sure that was clear. Science communicators have been doing a bad job of making it clear it's not like a physical barrier we can rate at a sure percentage like a mask, it's a broad range of immune preparedness: you may not see the maximal or even median results based on personal health history, previous infections, weight, etc. That being said, vax up. Novavax seems to grant longer-lasting antibody protection which is shown to reduce chances of long covid and keep people out of the hospital. (Study linked on my covid blog) The best way to keep from catching covid remains wearing a well-fitted mask when you're in public. Vaccinated people can and do get sick, so other precautions (such as ventilation and distance activity when possible) are still needed to keep yourself and your loved ones safe.

In one of the episodes, Jun mentioned that she wanted to pierce her ears twice. in your version she has already done this?

oh dude you either have memory of a steel trap or someone had a good rewatch recently! But, wow, tbh I do not remember this and in HoM AU designs I only delibarately added earrings/piercings to Kim and Jake to sort of break their design more from their og looks (especially Kim lol, I barely changed her anything xD) but also for practical in-verse reasons. I didnt even think about Jun or anyone else... but you know? I like it, so now she does!

AND now she got 7 of them!!! Some are just simple hoops or studs, but others are magical gem stones for emergencies (small spells and protections), and she can just swap them out when needed.

After you mentioned it, I wonder why out of all characters Jun is like almost the only one without piercings of any sorts? I mean even Lila got a fang earring and she has been human-shaped for like less than a year?? Which led me to a headcanon:

What if Jun's invulnerability is so strong she couldn't even get piercings in a normal human way? So, going with her Mom or her friends to get her ears pierced in a mall was out of the question. She and Jasmine had to enchant a needle/make a spell (or maybe just visit a monster beauty salon), just for her to do it and after they just show up to her parents like: "Oh look Barbara, Michael, I took Jun to pierce her ears, doesn't she look wonderful?'

And later Jun just took the needle/spell to covertly make more piercings with her friends, which Ophelia was more than happy to do. The other three she got a bit later over the years. ;D

#que? #hom au #hom au q&a #juniper lee #the life and times of juniper lee #i dont know why i never gave Jun any earrings its such a great idea! &i dont even know for sure if its true or not about her mentioning it #i think its because i kept drawing her with short hair that cover her ears and it totally escaped my mind #but now i have a lovely hc so thank you anon. #it also rises the question about how does she get her vaccination shots every year. do Jasmine and her fake them??? lol

simeon having had exposure to small pox in a way that it exists in his system but as an angel his immune system never paid it any mind then he turns human and mc has to pull up to the doctors office w him asap like 'hey yknow that vaccine we havent really had to use in decades since the disease was eradicated? yeah break that bad boy out. also we need appointments for everything else' and when the doctors are like 'why is this grown man not vaccinated against anything and also how is he still alive????' mc gets to go 'whackjob asshole father' (in this house we talk shit about om god)

Yessssss because OM god is the WORST and I am ALWAYS good with shit talking that guy.

Ahhh poor Simeon, I imagine him being his usual calm and smiling self while on the inside he's freaking out like am I gonna die!?

Meanwhile, MC is trying to figure out what to put on his new patient paperwork. They're gonna have to come up with a believable year for his birthday on the spot. And I suppose they could just say he has no history of illness in his family at all, which would technically be true? MC's like okay no medications, pretty sure Simeon doesn't smoke, uh... and then they'd have to ask. Hey Simeon, are you sexually active? I gotta know for the papers.

And Simeon's just like excuse you?? (Unless MC already knows the answer to this question tee hee...)

Do they even make the small pox vaccine anymore?? I have no idea, to be honest with you. Gonna need a TDAP and whatever they call the ones for measles & mumps... the dr's like... uhhh does he want the COVID vaccine too? Simeon's not going to understand the political nonsense behind that question, so he just goes with whatever MC suggests. Do they still do the polio vaccine?? I'm not sure about that one, either, but he might need that, too.

I think there may be some time in between things like I think TDAP has two shots? He might have to go back for a second round on some of them. I don't know if you can even get them all at once. Also if he's already got the diseases would it be too late?? I really don't know lol.

I like to think that he managed to survive, even if it was a trial by fire, through the help of MC and the miracle of modern medicine. What a way to welcome him to his new human life!

#I don't remember getting sick for any vaccine other than COVID #which took me out for a couple days #but if Simeon has to deal with any such symptoms #you know MC will be there to take care of him #obey me #obey me nightbringer #obey me simeon #anon asks #misc answers #spoilers #obey me spoilers

Wait wait wait

You do witchcraft???

That's so cool! I had no idea there were other witches in the TMNT fandom!!!

What kind of witchcraft do you practice?? Personally, I deal mostly with divination, but I'd love to hear more about other people's crafts!

I do! ^^ Though admittedly my practice has been a little bit dormant as of late because I sort of fell out of habit after An Event which was a Bit Disruptive to My Life lol. But I guess I kind of dabble in a bit of everything? I dunno if I could pin myself down to just one kind of practice yet, I still sort of consider myself a Baby Witch. But I really like making little spelljars and casting candle spells and things of the like, and I've been trying to learn tarot for a while now! I also really like making and drawing sigils... For a while part of the joy for me has been just Learning New Things.

#ive got kind of a budget witchcraft thing going on lmao #coz thats kind of my fav part of it? that you can kind of just do it however a little bit so long as you have like #intention and are mindful #all my spelljars are the bottles that vaccines would come in at my old workplace (i used to work at a vet office!) #and since we would mostly just throw them out i could just take them and repurpose them so now ive got a ton #ive got a small collection of crystals coz i like those #my practice is a lot of meditation and grounding and mindfulness and shit like that #blah blah blah tricking myself into taking care of me etc etc #for a while i would. like. every day meditate ground and choose an intention for the day #and pick out some pocket crystals to bring with me that matched that intention #but then my schedule got fucked in eight different ways = 3 = so im working on getting back to it #eventually lol #honestly i love talking abt this stuff and would love to get back into it/meet other ppl who do witchcraft its been a hot second since #like #ive truly indulged... #asks #anon #witchcraft #witchblr #i gotta follow some witchy blogs smh lemme know if yall have any suggestions

This is probably not a normal thought process, but I was reading a time travel fic and one of the characters got sent back a decent chunk of centuries. This means that instead of my brain going "Oh! They can explore their past culture and history in unique ways" it just screamed "Oh nO THEYRE A DISEASE CARRIER AND NO ONE HERE HAS IMMUNITY" in increasingly loud red letters

Also: many diseases from the past have been wiped out because of vaccinations like small pox. Or they still exist but we have cures for them now so they're not a big deal if you have access to modern health services

So it's MUTUALLY ASSURED DESTRUCTION

i think childe being a fox gives him too much credit,, i think he seems scrappier? like he’s sly and everything but he’s hanging on by a thread

maybe a fox with mange?

why must my boy constantly be slandered T-T i did actually consider either going with a more traditional predator because of, y'know, the way he just generally is, but i think being a big, dumb, sorta blood-thirsty canine just suits him so well, plus the underdog and kind scheme-y vibes of a classic red fox just suit him so well. being reminded that foxes hunt in the winder by jumping three feet in the air and diving head-first into snowbanks also really sealed the deal. it shows the same amount of pre-planning that must've gone into childe's decision to summon a god to flood the city he was still very much in and i respect him for that.

#does he also probably have rabies? #that's not my place to say #but anyway get your hybrids vaccinated today folks #personal #anon ask

[triptych-of-voids]

throat hurts a bunch and nose is runny :( do you have any advice on how to heal,,

my best advice is going to probably be fairly obvious, but drink lots of water and get lots of rest!! it can also be helpful to gargle salt water (dont swallow it), it may temporarily help a sore throat. definitely try drinking camomile tea with honey and/or hot soup if you havent yet!! i find those to be both not only helpful but also delicious! of course humidity and steam will likely help with congestion as well, and dont be afraid to reach for cough drops, cough medicine, anything like that you might have on hand. just be careful which medicines you decide to take in case they conflict with prescription medications you may or may not be taking.

#feel better soon anon! #seriously dont underestimate the power of rest and hot soup.... and water. #oh!! everyone should make sure theyre vaccinated too by the way #just throwing that in there.... #the doc is in #replies from the void #tf2 medic #important

If you guys are refuting the fanom idea of Jason being Tim's robin then I'm gonna refute the whole spleen thing. Not having a spleen/a functional spleen is not that big of a deal, really. Tim is being dramatic.

#My friend who doesn't have a spleen is every fucking day in a different club making up with strangers and she is healthier than me #losing a spleen is more common than you think really #It damages with mechanic trauma very easily and lots of people have to go under surgery to remove part of it #You only have to take antibiotics for a few months and then you'll live normally after that #the antibiotics are vaccines injected in your naked ass and hurts like hell #i want whup fics of Tim taking shots on his naked butt #jason todd #red hood #I'm not gonna tag tim into this because i don't want to deal with anon asks lol

Jessica probably had to get tested for rabies and get vaccinated for it

rabies can make animals aggressive or docile, and Jessica is very friendly (and clingy) so like I don’t think it’s too far off if she had to get tested

Saw your tags on the rabies post; I think they only do preemptive vaccines for people with a higher risk of being infected, like veterinarians, or if you're travelling to a country where rabies is common and medical care is not. Otherwise... idk man, you can ask, but I think they'll refuse?

Rabies vaccines are nasty for people, there's a reason it's not part of the standard childhood vaccines. The rabies vaccine for humans is four injections into deep muscles, which will hurt like hell and makes you feel like you have the flu. Then three days after that it's another four needles, four more needles for the seven day mark, and another four at the fourteen day mark. So basically, you'll be miserable for a solid two weeks. Aaand if you got exposed to rabies after that, you would still need several rounds of booster injections just to be safe.

Basically it's expensive, painful, time consuming, and on the off chance you ever do get exposed to rabies, you'll have to got through part of the ordeal again. Just don't touch any mammals that you don't know are safe, especially stay away from bats, and you'll be alright.

that's a little disappointing ngl but thank you for telling me <3

#also is it weird that this doesn't seem too bad to me lmao #i always get flu symptoms when i ger vaccines so. idk nbd. it does sound like it would hurt though and be v inconvenient. #then again i got a stye drained with no anaesthetic i've got a pretty high pain tolerance #no sorry im being silly. not worth it! thank you anon!

How would young!Tony and older Tony react upon finding you curled up in a little ball in bed whimpering and crying because your period cramps hurt so fucking bad :(?

He would would be very concerned, and with good reason. He may not know much, but nothing should hurt that bad unless it requires a doctor or something, surely 😣 and may try to recommend it, though that doesn’t exactly help right now :/ tbh he’ll definitely cuddle up to you, and will probably want to just lay on top of you if you let him 🥺 he doesn’t know if it’ll help, but he is warm and cuddly and heavy so maybe it does a little 🥺 and he’ll play with your hair or wipe away/kiss the tears on your cheeks :( he’ll probably also do a lot of research on his own to see if he can do anything! But it’s kinda hard when you don’t know exactly how it feels :( so he may feel a little shorty and useless bc if it :((

But real talk rq, it’s normal to have annoying cramping a day or two of your period, but super bad cramps (especially consistently) is not, especially if it’s also accompanied by a really heavy and/or irregular flow! I recommended starting on a vitamin D supplement + an Omega-3 (provided you are not on any blood thinners, as omega supplements can interact negatively). Of course, I can’t recommend a dosage, as that depends on many different variables like age and weight and what not, so always do research! It is always smart to talk to a trusted doctor or medical provider about awful period symptoms if available, but often times they wanna prescribe birth control first, which is fine if you’re comfortable with it and believe that it’s right for you, and also be sure to do your research on it as well as talk with the doctor! But if BC isn’t an option, many of my friends that I have recommend those supplements to have seen improvements :) though, consistence is key, and it may take 4-6 weeks to start working. I would also recommend finding a good Women’s multi vitamin (I like Garden of Life’s Multivitamin Code:Women, it says 4 a day but I take 2!) as they are created with plenty of zinc and B vitamins, which greatly nourishes the ovaries and zinc may also help suppress ovarian cyst development. I also recommend Peruvian red maca root (make sure it’s Peruvian and not the weaker Chinese version, and make sure it’s the red. I use The Maca Team company, via their website, and take 3 raw capsules a day), provided you don’t have any thyroid issues or sensitivities, but again, always be sure to do your own research and/or talk with a medical provider, and to talk with them if you have any medications or medical conditions. Maca root may be too expensive, however (especially when you’re buying it with other supplements), and multivitamins (especially the brand I use) and omega-3s can also get pricey depending on your dosage and preferred brands and where you live, but Vitamin D is often cheap and easily available, and is the best place to start, as it greatly benefits every part of the body! Another great habit to get into is making sure to work avocado, blueberries/strawberries/raspberries, spinach, and/or sweet potato into at least one meal a day, as those are considered superfoods as well as hormone balancing foods! Chicken, eggs, turkey, and low mercury fish are also very good for that, provided you are able to eat meat. Frozen and canned works just as good, as long as they don’t have too much sodium or added sugar! However, I am aware that this can be an expensive option, especially if buying with supplements. If you’ve had your blood work recently and know that the issue isn’t low levels of any vitamins or minerals, be sure to talk with the doctor, as there are some cases where BC is really your only option, but that doesn’t mean you have to take it of course. It just depends on your level of comfort with your period or with taking BC, if anything at all seems to help in any way (such as Tylenol, heat pads, etc), and whether or not you have any specific medications or known medical conditions. I also recommend non-carbonated kombucha for the bloating (among other things) 😘 provided you don’t have IBS or similar digestive distress issues, and aren’t sensitive to oxalates (in particular, getting kidney stones due to high oxalate levels). But if you’re a first timer, don’t drink more than like half a measuring cup or a single measuring cup, and don’t drink it really fast 😅 And keep in mind that while it is vegan and gluten free, there are low but existing alcohol levels, should that be an issue! And no, not enough to require an ID or to get drunk lol. Again, if you have any medications or medical conditions, always be sure to do research and/or talk with your medical care provider! And overall, be sure to stay hydrated on your period (and all the time really)! It can help with headaches and cramps, and is overall important.

I hope everyone here is 18+, but in case you aren’t, you should definitely ask a doctor before following any of this advice and also do research. Also, often times periods are most painful within the first 3-5 years of getting it, as hormones are new and constantly changing with a growing body. I also recommend you not be on this blog if this is the case 😅

I was once in a rough spot with horrible cramps to where I’d was crying or on a few occasions sick and a very heavy flow, and absent periods for up to 80 days even. It’s unfortunate how little info or care is provided to us, even by doctors :( I suffered for years until I kinda just started doing my own research and it took a good few years to get into a good spot and figure out what I needed and what I didn’t. I wish you all good health and hope you can all find the best routine and supplementation for your bodies and cycles :)

What do you think of antivaxxers? I mean, people who reject vaccines even though we have many available today.

That is a real shame. Mlle. Hopster has mentioned how effective vaccines are in the modern day, so it saddens me that people aren't accepting of it.

ugh i’m so far removed from anything even resembling a broadway fandom at this point but i need to know…why do we feel icky listening to laura osnes?

Ooooh Laura Osnes lol (also know I spent like thirty minutes looking for these screenshots lmfao)

For me I already had some weird vibes after seeing her in Broadway princess party in 2018 (went mainly for her and left a bigger fan of pretty much everyone else? She just seemed very inauthentic in some way) but the bigger thing was with covid vaccinations.

Basically there was some big backlash when an article was published about her not being allowed to perform in something because she wasn’t covid vaccinated. I don’t know what the article said exactly because I only saw it through her response, I think, but it basically was something about her being rude or upset or whatever because she had to be vaccinated (if anyone knows that part feel free to jump in).

At the end of 2022 (at least in interviews, maybe it was sooner if you still followed her) she started talking about cancel culture and how this basically ended her Broadway career.

The vaccination stuff then revealed other beliefs, like her being pro-guns.

So yeah, since then it just has tainted some of my enjoyment of these songs I really love. I’ll leave some other things in the tags that are more my personal feelings, but that’s the gist.

#at first it was pretty black and white for me #the vaccinations #but I had a practicum client who surprised me when she said she wasn’t vaccinated #except she explained why and it’s that she’s Black and the covid vaccine was so new #and she didn’t trust that the vaccine was safe for her specifically given things like the Tuskegee experiment #so for me it was the fact that she’s a white woman #and argued it was about family planning and personal choice #which I get but also… if you die of Covid you can’t have a family #and if it’s about parenthood there are other ways to become a parent #<- which is not me saying foster/adoption is an alternative to birth control #I literally work with foster and adoptive families #but it felt especially insensitive given how personal this was to the Broadway community #and people like nick cordero/amanda kloots #anyway #anon #answered

unfortunately I have tagged several of my fics as abandoned/unlikely to be finished

whether or not it is temporary remains to be seen - but treat it as if it's permanent since for all intents and purposes it sort of is right now

I didn't really want to do that honestly, because I do want to finish them - but having covid twice in one year as an already chronically ill person has... really, really drained me both physically and mentally and it's unfortunately going to take a while for me to really recover properly. I have zero energy for writing or really anything that requires much thinking, and probably won't for a while.

Sorry ya'll, wish I wasn't totally drained but covid fucked me up (again, lmao)
