(mgv) WOAH OK I JUST GOT BREAKING NEWS ON MGV BIOLOGY!!! KIND OF GROSS!!! INTERESTING TOO (update: i've been typing for at least one straight hour)

re: the term "litters" (disclaimer i am not in the medical field but i do like to look at diagrams) (second disclaimer this ended up being an anatomy lesson i am sorry ? )

okay so i have been wondering this entire time about the actual reproductive capabilities of people in the mgv. and where "litters" come from if (depending on the creator's own canon i guess) most folk are just having single babies. that's how it goes for my version of it anyway. so where do "litters" come in??

first we look at how doctors would define sex at birth, just male or female. OBVIOUSLY this the most basic, un-nuanced take of dimorphism anyway BUT i am not in the headspace to go into that tangent. just penis or vagina (if you're intersex gosh are they gonna try to fuck you over :( awful stuff) right, uterus or testes.

their secondary sexes don't show any signs outwardly for the first 15ish? years because their secondary systems are dormant. it depends on the person, 15 is just the minimum age they'll allow (i imagine this is a hot button topic). presentation any time under the age of 15 is incredibly dangerous because the process can put enough stress on the body to send them into cardiac arrest among countless other problems.

the secondary systems veer this way and that. the organs themselves adjust themselves not unlike gonads in embryos that can shift until it decides (through nature, nurture, whatever it may be is unknown) on alpha, beta, or omega.

alphas end up developing sperm (or bolstering pre-existing systems if they already do), are probably hellish to raise in a traditionalist family. dicks get knots, clits become knots during rut. the organs anchor in the front internally close to the primary reproductive system to bind with them.

omega organs will go backwards instead and attach to the lower GI tract and fuse into it and the ends balloon into a secondary uterus. omegas in heat are mechanically constipated -- no really. the canal gets swollen and inflamed and closes the colon, it's a workaround for the fact it's anal impregnation and is where you suspend your disbelief a little more okay.

betas are people whose secondary organs don't pass the arbitrary guideline on the spectrum of "omega" and "alpha". betas vary the most while also carrying over less of the more extreme traits in alphas or omegas in moods, instincts, urges, etc. secondary fertility varies with some factoring into their primary systems (male betas might get pregnant, female betas possibly could impregnate) while some betas' secondary reproductive systems don't develop much at all (this is the closest we get to irl people)

back to my original point. litters

male alphas and female omegas are the most standard coupling. since the ice age, since female omegas had the best odds of keeping the genetic line going. the term litters for humans came not from how many babies (or pups) were born at a time, but because since both primary and secondary reproductive systems can be impregnated, F-O can have more than one baby in succession. the fetuses of F-O individuals can have different fathers, and can be smaller than babies born singularly to prevent interference with F-O's mobility

while the rate of "litters" as a statistic has gone down over the course of evolution, the use of the term has stayed surprisingly steady. in cases of "true twins" (identical or fraternal twins who developed in the same womb) (or triplets or etc) some folks consider that a litter. "false twins" are those that develop one fetus per primary/secondary systems and are the only ones that ever qualify in textbooks as "litters"

#hmmmm how do i. how do i tag this.#mgv #nsft #i guess i gotsta go back and tag all my mgv posts 4realz now #but this is just my like. personal lore diary or whatever #because i like to Think Too Hard about it #talk of like reproductive system not just the fun genital parts #systems for both primary and secondary sets #i am coming at this with all the body and sex positivity as i possibly can #and i'm a little stoned but so passionate so i really really hope this makes sense to me in a couple hours #i talked. too much. oh my god i'm looking back at it. where am i

(I hope you do not mind the ask, human anatomy is fascinating and when it comes to nations there is nothing more I want than a cadaver despite them not actually being real. I want to know what goes on inside. But they are fictional so I try and make do, that said) Nowadays there are reports that the bones in a tennis players serving arm can be up to 30% stronger, bones strengthen as well as muscles with use. Archery is brutal to the joints and the like because bowstrings have to be as taut as they are otherwise they would not be nearly as useful, and Arthur's bow arm, even in the modern age could conceivably still be quite a bit stronger, despite his shoulder still being considered to be quite crusty at best, archery does a number on the joints, which so include the wrist and elbow. Probably leading him to eventually write with the opposite hand over the years due to inflammation caused by tendonitis being exceptionally painful and the range of movement in one shoulder being quite limited. What particularly come to mind are Quervain's tenosynovitis and bilateral medial epicondylitis (yes it's called golfers elbow but near the same strain happens with archery just in far worse levels.) Other archery related injuries probably have left scars all over his hands and forearms, ie he has crusty dad hands x 100. Also stones, kidney stones, bladder stones, gallbladder stones, stones are formed in way too many places in the body not to be a problem throughout history. I will be focusing on kidney and bladder stones for ease. One of the old world anglos probably got a bladder stone at some point, let's be fair they can't have gone as long as they have without having some calcite collect in the bladder and become painful, and have to get it removed at some point because from what I've heard, bladder stones are painful And I need you to search up 18th century lithotomy positions to gauge that these things were not pleasant. Also samuel pepys has some diary entries on this but that's irrelevant here. Knocked out using a mixture of mandragora, opiates and alcohol as this happened, and likely they wished not to go through that again because sepsis and the like, antiseptics are a blessing I swear to god. But fate and anatomy has it that in the 300 years since, stones have become more common in the west due to differences in diet and I'll bet that they got one again and this time refused to see a doctor (I'll say this is the 40s, peak lobotomy time baby) but had to to anyways, and was decently refreshed by the fact that he couldn't feel a rod being inserted into their genital regions and wiggles about, being under anaesthesia and and antiseptic were used. Generally older nations being both in extreme awe and mild fear about modern medicine, bloodletting was in practise until the 1890s in places. Also on an unrelated note, when drunk Alisdair has called someone a combination of all the old timey medical insults. Lily-livered splenetic fool thou be! Ill-humoured choleric wench And so on and so forth

(Apologies for the lack of anatomy dicks and the length of the ask)

These are some incredible thoughts. Arthur's shoulders being fucked, the insults, the awe and fear of modern medicine older nations would have. The kidney stones.... Yeah. Ow. Reminds me of how the Dutch curse with stuff like typhus and cholera.

PARTY FAVOURS I CHAPTER 17

First time reader click here

TWs/Summary: Feelings! PTSD! Anxiety! Clint! Team bonding! Reader is a badass 😍 And comic book medical accuracy .

Un-beta-ed.

"It smells like a liquor factory in here," Bucky's voice came from the kitchenside, followed by noises of the team's arrival. Via portal, because the elevator made zero noise.

"I suggest you avoid the area around me and Clint. It might be contaminated." My voice sounded sharp to my own ears. I sat in silence for several hours, waiting for the team's return, while Clint restlessly dozed next to me.

My words caused the team to freeze in their tracks, owlishly blinking at me and at Clint laying sprawled on the floor, surrounded by plastic bags and biological hazard containment units. Tony's helmet swiftly covered his face - I heard muffled sounds coming from within, probably Friday's explanations. In seconds, the helmet retracted, showing an extremely worried Tony.

"How do you feel, Princess? Any weakness, any pain?"

"No symptoms, Tony. Just a fuckton of anxiety," I admitted, avoiding the concerned looks of Tony's teammates. "I almost drowned the room in alcohol but warned you just to be safe. Also, your alien pathogen protocol sucks."

"We made it so unauthorized personnel wouldn't get their hands on Thor's or Loki's blood samples," Bruce supplied meekly from where he was leaning against Steve, wearing a tattered hoodie and his hulk-out pants. "Off to decon we go," The scientist sighed. "Friday, code seven-zero-three-five-five. Pull up the data you gathered. In the shower." The man was exhausted, yet the call of science seemed to give Bruce a tiny energy boost. With newfound determination, he waddled to the communal showers, the rest of the team in tow.

Natasha's stare was truly unnerving. I was fully aware she and Barton had long history; the fact that I had to respond to one of the deadliest assassins if I had made even the slightest mistake - anxiety mixed with blind terror in me. I fought the nausea and the headache, focusing on Clint's hair between my fingers. His steady breathing.

He'd be okay. He had to be okay.

"You did great, Princess," The time passed in a blink. Bruce's warm hands were encompassing mine - gently pulling me away from Clint. I looked at Banner's face with unseeing eyes.

"I heard what Friday said and I can only applaud your quick thinking. You saved his life," Strange, sounding uncharacteristically quiet and bashful, parroted Bruce, hovering behind the scientist. His angular face was contorted in sorrow. "I believe I should apologize for dropping Barton onto you like that. I underestimated the extent of his injuries." The man sounded so, so guilty.

"I saved his life," I repeated in disbelief. Surely they were exaggerating.

"You did, malysh. For that, I am grateful," Natasha's hand found my own, squeezing briefly, before following Steve that had picked up a still-sleeping Clint, to, presumably, carry him to medical. "Come on, Banner, we need you."

Banner gave me a brief squeeze of his own, taking his leave, scurrying after Romanoff. I was left awkwardly standing in front of Strange, both of us disheveled and dazed.

"I ordered pizza," I said, just to fill the grim silence.

"Okay," Just like that, he snapped out of his trance, sitting down on the couch and picking up his food.

The others trickled in, Bucky, Pete, Thor, Loki, Sam, Wanda, Pietro. I saw it all like it was tinted by a thick fog. Their words made a jumbled cacophony when they reached my ears. Tony's arm around me - that woke me up, slightly. I focused on my favourite thing in the world - the faint smell of him, a mix of soap, machine oil and expensive cologne.

"She's shellshocked," Bucky suddenly said, pointing at me.

"No," I frowned. "No. I may be a fumbling idiot but I don't have PTSD."

Tony's breath stuttered in his chest. Promptly, I was turned around, a pair of intelligent brown orbs sharply gazing into my eyes. "Princess?"

"I'm so glad y'all are alright," I choked out, fisting the cotton of his shirt in my palm. "Even Stephen the asshole. Team bonding wouldn't be the same without his sarcasm," Hurrying to hide the fact that I was scared shitless, I did what I do best. I joked.

"Gods, you two are really a match made in heaven," Wanda's tired voice had 110% eye-roll in it. "So much self-deprication, almost as much as brilliance." The witch usually refrained from commenting on people's private thoughts. Usually, but not that day.

"I am relieved to know you hold me in high regards," Stephen's sarcastic remark made it's way around a mouthful of pizza.

Bucky's phone beeped. "They're saying Clint will be out in a few hours. No permanent damage, the gash on his leg won't scar and he's demanding Tony buy his saviour a cake," With a smile, the soldier read the text's contents out loud. "Also, the resident doc wants to hire you." Bucky pointed at me with a teasing grin.

"I, umm, I," Stammering, way to go. "I just - uh, I googled and I improvised? I'm not a doctor or a scientist, I'm a high school student," I replied, voice raising half an octave higher.

"Told you Tony, she's a friggin' genius," Peter sounded way too smug for someone who had a bruise half the size of his head.

"That she is," Tony's voice... Was different. It was honeyed and warm, blanketing me, surrounding me with safety. His arms tightened around me - not uncomfortably so, just enough to ground his presence in my personal space. I snuggled into him happily - he didn't mind at all. The cold glow and faint humming of his arc reactor calmed me. "Friday, cake. Princess cake from the bakery on Seventeenth."

Wow, Tony knew my favourite kind of cake. That was amazing.

"On it, boss." The AI immediately replied. "Well done, Miss." Friday addressed me with the same tone I heard in the lab. Gentle and understanding. It was so very strange.

We mulled around the living room until the pizza was gone and half the occupants were snoring away, dead where they sat. It was an unanimous decision to pull out the unfolding couch and form a cuddle pile of sorts - after such a long and grueling mission with one of their own facing the brink of death, all the superheroes were more than a little unsettled. I didn't exactly know where I fit in that. Obviously, all of them were close in one way or another. Even Loki and Stephen, seeing them get cussed out by Thor for attempting to leave was kind of amusing.

But it got me wondering. Maybe they felt like imposters, too? After all, I wasn't special. Loki wasn't considered a good guy. And Stephen was too much of a lone wolf. All three of us were comfortable alone, used to dealing on our own.

One look from Tony, Stark-patented puppy eyes, and I was making space for myself and for Stephen. Even if Loki insisted on grumbling all the way through, his exhaustion showed in the way he leaned on Thor's arm, using a weakly glimmering spell to summon himself a book and then closing his eyes for a moment.

Muted cheering broke out the moment elevator doors opened, showcasing a pale but smiling Clint held up on both sides by Natasha and Steve, Bruce half asleep on the blonde's other side.

"Looking pretty good for a dead bitch," Clint grinned in my direction.

I couldn't resist the bait. The boomer knew his memes, after all. "She's alive!"

He patted my leg, making his way to a free spot on the ginormous sofa bed. "Aw, pizza," He groused, spying the empty boxes.

"Should arrive in ten minutes," Bucky quipped, waving his phone. Then, the brunette super-soldier looked at me pointedly. "We usually order double after long missions."

"Duly noted, y'all hungry peoples." I said, filing it away for later. Thinking about more missions, more near-death experiences wasn't something I wanted to handle that very moment.

"So, uh, what exactly happened? My memory is pretty spotty," Clint demanded once he got his hands on some food.

"I also need to know. You're going to have to sign a statement and a mission report," Natasha stated apologetically.

I looked at her, confused. "Like... How many details do you need?"

Tony shifted beside me uncomfortably. I put a steadying hand on his leg - my palm was immediately dwarfed by his own. Natasha gave him a Look. "Fury's eyes only, but SHIELD needs to know how you figured out to neutralise a potential alien threat. Bruce ran some tests and this pathogen is... Pretty nasty, to say the least. It has the survivability to be classified as a potential weapon." Natasha's voice was apologetic, once more.

What have I gotten myself into? I was just trying to save a friend. "First of all, I'm not working for Men in Black, like, ever," I made the point to look her in the eyes. A brief moment later, she nodded. Tony relaxed, exhaling soundly. "Okay, get your reading glasses on. It went like this..." I retold the story, taking careful note to voice my thought processes as much as I remembered them. Save for a few surprised gasps and Tony haphazardly kissing the top of my head, the team gave me no interruptions.

Bruce was the first one to react once I was done. "But... How did you think of bloodletting? It's such an unusual solution," He mumbled more to himself.

"I've watched enough horror movies to know better than to introduce a foreign bacteria, such as antibiotics, to a person with an alien infection," I deadpanned, spying a satisfied smile on Stephen's face. "Worst case scenario, the substitution of infected blood with healthy would have diluted the amount of parasites or deflected their attention from eating away Clint's nerve endings. Him going bazinga from pain was my main concern," I admitted, the archer's pained cries once again filling my ears. The memory was still fresh.

"That makes sense," Bruce nodded.

"And what would you have done?" I asked, unable to withhold my curiosity.

"Sedated Clint while I examine the specimens," Banner replied with the obvious. "Then figure out how to cure the infection."

I nodded along slowly. "I considered that option but ultimately, I was too chicken to entertain the possibility of the parasites interacting with heavy sedatives. Fentanyl affects some of the blood components the parasites eat so only God knows how it might have ended."

Banner was impressed, that much was obvious. Tony's lips once again landed on the crown of my head, gentle and warm. More and more people in the room were giving me impressed, happy, grateful looks. It was strange and I squirmed in my spot, putting the half-eaten pizza slice back in the box, Steve immediately eyeing it in contemplation.

"Have at it, you human garbage disposal," I muttered, laying down comfortably. I was still shivering from the adrenaline rush and the soft blanket cocoon I shared with Tony and Stephen - their combined body heat under it - called to me like a siren.

"Are you well?" Loki noticed my state, casting a dark look over the edge of his book.

"Yeah, just cold. Us humans shiver when coming off an adrenaline rush," I remarked absently, pressing myself closer to Tony.

The engineer laid down, spooning me, tangling our legs together. We slept like that, all over each other, every time I stayed in his bed. It felt comfortable, like home, and nobody seemed to mind. Peter and Wanda, already snoozing away, were in a similarly indisposed state, octopus-ing their nearest teammates. Friends. Family.

My eyes drooped. My chest was about to burst with an odd sort of content - quiet, steady and welcoming. Tony's beard tickled my neck, breaths coming in soft puffs against my nape, spreading warmth all over me.

And there was something - someone warm in front of me, too, I could smell the sandalwood and spices of his cologne. Abandoning all reservations, I shamelessly wrapped both of my arms around a larger, more muscular one, taking note to avoid Stephen's scarred, sensitive hands. The flat of his tummy under my palm was rising and falling steadily, his breathing almost in sync with Tony's and mine.

All of us were safe and alive. It mattered to me, perhaps, more than I'd ever cared to admit out loud. As much as I refused to let them all in, for real and beyond silly gimmicks, they still wormed their way inside my heart, inside my brain. Not with long discussions and talking feelings - hell no, that's the hard and the boring shit, but with simply their presence.

Hugs. Mario Kart tournaments. Cake after I'd done good at something. Sunday morning pancakes for all. Homework. Sciencing together. Catching up on memes and just watching funny YouTube videos together. Playing Twister and Monopoly.

For the first time in my life, I had a stable presence. I belonged somwhere. It felt too good to deny, so once again, I allowed myself to be selfish.

✨ Taglist of my lovelies ✨ still open.

So anyway, Mein Herz Brennt Making of liveblog, one of my favourites

First of all, I do take any use of piano MHB as a slight towards my tiny hands. -1 point

I really would love to visit this place, it's beautiful

I love that Oli introduces it and then Till is straight in there talking about murder and stabbings. Trust that to be what intrigues him. I feel like 'smells like murder' isn't a direct translation but that's purely because I spent like ten minutes trying to work out what words he says. It rhymes, which is suspicious.

Oh this was before he let his chest piercing reject all the way out in the grossest way

When schneider says Krankenhaus it sounds very Geordie and I'm convinced that kind of thing is why Auf Wiedersehen, Pet was created

Richards eyes light up when he's talking about the room he's in and it's one of those looks where it's just. I would love to listen to anything anyone has to say when their eyes have that sparkle.

"the scavengers had already been here" cue Paul talking about his criminal past thieving from there. See, another example everyone forgets of him being the biggest bastard of them all. The smile is a front.

One of my favourite ever Rammstein things is the combined joy and mockery from Paul when Richard is revealed to be wearing the bird mask and it wiggles as he nods. He looks like a little black cockatoo. Richard looks embarrassed to be wearing it but Paul is having the time of his LIFE.

The way is echoes in his mask makes him sound like he's clucking

Flakes glasses perching in his cone make him look like that sesame Street doctor or scientist

They all suit this make up so much and I wish they'd consider it as a stage look

Peck. Not intimidated.

Considering the nightmares Till has/had, ouch

Richard looks so much like a little vampire prince but like, a character from what we do in the shadows. He makes his own smokescreen entry/exist and everything.

Melanie!!!

Richard has many tendons in his neck huh.

The sounddd. I used to always be curious as to whether or not people in music videos were making the sounds it looks like they're making and now I know and I'm uncomfortable. This and also later when till does the heart

His laugh is never what I expect it to be

That uh. That doesn't look like he's in pain the way the injection sounds implied. At all. Not that I'm complaining but it gives mixed messages.

I'm so sure Richard is the only one I've ever heard use the word quasi. It makes sense for him if true but maybe I only notice because of the tone he uses? His is quite a punchy nasal tone it might just be more noticeable.

Till with kids is always the most adorable wonderful thing. He's really helping to keep them relaxed despite the creepiness of the stuff they're shooting.

"if you look at the cover then you'll recognise a morbidity to the whole thing" till, my darling, do you think people don't already ~see the morbidity~?

I googled and the lady doesn't pronounce renaissance with a g like Till does and that interests me. In fairness I have to assume it's like in Norwegian how words like restaurant are pronounced with a g sound because it's closer to the French sounds? It's not like we in English donut the French way either but the Google translate lady does. This is why I always suspect that when I'm learning a language I'm learning the language wrong and at some point I'll find out there's a Real, For Adults version if the language that's totally different. This is irrelevant. Accents are fun and I like being able to notice them.

It feels so strange seeing this knowing what Eugenio did

Paul taking pictures because he knows better than them

Something about a child saying "ah yes, I know Till and Flake very well" is hysterical.

You can feel the dismay and disapproval radiating off till as he tries to be diplomatic about the Spanish understanding of linear time. He struggles to find a positive and only comes up with the fire walls. "It should have gone out before we filmed anything because they were fucking around with the playback so long but it didn't" is his only compliment.

The German word for French is wild.

Do they know they could have hired an interpreter? Interpreters existed in 2012 I know this

This whole thing with Melanie is beautiful you can't deny that the arm Eugenio made with then was lovely.

Till in the dress with Melanie in his lap. I don't off the top of my head remember seeing it in either video so I simply must assume that it was just what he was wearing that day when he showed up. She's so tiny on his knee I'm glad they're still friends.

"you're left in a state of trauma when everyone stares at you all the time" did this need to get so heavy? It's interesting that he focused more on her voice than her appearance there, though in fairness it's pretty high

They all love her so much and it's totally understandable.

Mit rock n roll und cola trinken

I have to skip the screaming the secondhand embarrassment is too much.

Part 2

Again, this liveblog is so long

Sometimes Oli speaks like his body isn't used to talking.

I want, so badly, to know if Richard was having memories of his dreadlocked youth The tiny cup in his elegant hand is so pleading and then you look left and. It sure is something.

Are they freckles or acne scars across Tills shoulders?...cute. The first set of arm/chest wounds, not so much. I do spy his lil tummy scar

Richard does look like he almost swooped in for a kiss and then changed his mind because of the camera. Paul turns his head that way and then Richard tries to save with a step back and face rub (his own). Just saying.

The fact that a few of them have taken pictures on their personal phones warms my soul it's such a nice reminder that they're good friends outside of work and My Heart

Schneider and Paul ready at a moment's notice to be Dumbasses. J'adore.

What if Zoran was more of a background character tho actually

God, schneider is beautiful. An ethereal, pure beauty that exists no matter how he's being styled.

See okay how is flake almost taller than Oli right now he's not even doing his standard open legs and swan spine thing

It must be so hard to find Oli sized clothes. Flake is also tall and slim but he's a lot more leg, whereas Olis height seems largely to be torso. I have to assume a lot of his stuff is tailored or custom made now.

I always forget about the marks on tills back when he's in the nightmare dress

The child staring with great confusion at a bright red flake reading. I would love to know what his favourite books are.

The childs plural poking and prodding at a very patient Oli, who gracefully bends his spine in ways I've never seen a human do before. I wonder if he's ever dressed up as Lurch from the Addams family.

The actress playing the woman in this half is so beautiful and has a power her younger counterpart lacked when she was threatening him with her weapon.

I am a dummy and was like weird why is Paul speaking Norwegian. I know full well he wasn't saying unnskyld because I've heard Germans say their equivalent before and I assume Entschuldigen either sounds like that fast or shortens so what the fuck, rhi

Till guiding people through him murdering them is truly one of life's greatest pleasures. They trust him so completely. I would like to watch them dance the elegance would be astounding.

Paul lurking watching with what I choose to see as pride as till slaughters an old woman.

Paul being critical (again, as always, rightly so) of the hallway mouthing the lyrics decision.

"for this in prepared to make compromises" he says, hating every bitter word of it

I would like to know what he wanted to say about till and then see him get into trouble over it.

I would like to see till in a bouncy castle. He's adorable jumping into the comfy pit I want to see him in a bouncy castle. Child, utter child.

Paul takes every opportunity to say how hot he thinks they all are and I love that about him. Sometimes your friends are all hot and everybody needs to understand that fact.

Their approaches to pretending to play cello are all so uniquely them. Flake and Richard are taking the time to try and understand what they're being told, whereas Paul just fucking. Lays into it, attracting the weirdest looks from Oli. Richard looks beautiful with that cello and I think he should learn to play. For fun not for work. It's not just that he looks so handsome, but I think that's the easiest way to convince him. I think he'd be good at it, and not being the lead at something might be good for him.

I appreciate that Oli is skeptical because yeah they do all look like they've never held a cello before.

They do, however, all look lovely in their dresses. I'm trying but actually I can't not say that Schneiders little sternum dip makes it seem like he has breasts in that dress and it's a good look for him.

Till singing it in such a high voice, more like his speaking voice, is both interesting and lovely. Oli is trying... So little compared to the others. Laughably incorrect

Why yes, I am laughing at the sheer length of the spikes. They're just... They're so fucking long. So long.

Paul is actually probably the best one there, ironically. They're all comically out of time. They're professional musicians. I know they aren't used to bowed instruments I do understand and I don't want to be uncharitable but also they are struggling. I want to see cellists react to this.

Pretty dresses! And the nightmare but with the most awful and worst fingers! Like the Grinch but goth.

Both Schneider and Richard had the same neverending shoot idea and I am Intrigued.

Till waiting for Schneider with the umbrella :)

Wir brennen! Paul is always so happy to play with fire.

I'm feeling stressed b/c I wrote my PS and I've written so many drafts and after having them reviewed, none of them are good enough and I feel so upset and lost. I'm a really good writer and this is something that should come naturally to me. I have to submit my application soon but I still don't have a good PS and a lot of people have submitted so I just feel awful. Idk what to do.

Hi anon!

Man, I feel you. My PS took forever, and I thought I was a solid writer. I had it scrutinized by a LOT of people. I learned a lot of hard but valuable lessons about the very unique (and weird) nature of PS writing that I hope I can impart to help you realize that you probably have a ‘good’ PS or you have one that’s almost good and ready for submission.

I have not read your personal statement so none of this advice is targeted towards you but general things.

1. Think less of your personal statement as story-telling but more of a narrative resume or pitching a product, and you’re the product. This was something that was incredibly hard for me to hear as a younger person who valued the story-telling quality of medicine, which also drew me to medicine. But by showcasing things in your resume that warrant further details or talking about things that maybe otherwise aren’t in your resume but provide proof of skills, personality, or experience that would make you a good future doctor are just as valuable.

2. Being open-ended about your future plans is more than okay. You don’t need a unifying thesis. You don’t need a five or even ten year plan. You don’t need to know what specialty you’re going into.

3. But provide a general idea of where you see your future going. Again, this goes back to pitching yourself. Providing some general ideas or one general idea of where you see your career helps med schools identify where you might fit in their school and how they can help you build your career. For example, primary care. Research in translational science. Quality improvement. Epidemiology. Medical education. It’s not set in stone, this is not a legal contract. I would even say that one way to write the PS is to sort out the general idea and then select experiences/reasons to support it.

However, again, because I have not read your PS, it is totally possible that you’ve done all this but you’re still unhappy with your PS. In that case, if you haven’t yet done so, it’s time to take it (semi)public. Read it out loud to check for flow and awkward sentences. Have two or three people you truly trust and really know you read your PS and give you feedback. This will also allow you to make sure that you’re not falling into the trap that I often do:

4. Perfect is the enemy of good. It is totally possible that your PS is actually fine, or more than fine! But it’s hard when you’ve been reading it day in and day out, hearing or reading other statements. No matter how could, it could just be awful to you because of fatigue. So if your reliable editors say it’s a go, you’ve done what you could, you’ve maybe even potentially considered the things I mentioned above if you hadn’t done it already, click submit! Take the leap!

Best,

md-a

This isn't a writer's ask but I've been thinking about how much I love all of TEP but especially the backstory elements, I'm really curious what your current timeline for the Gloucester boys' childhood looks like. No pressure if it's not solid or if that's too many spoilers but I'd love to know more about how it's all laid out! Hope you're doing great!

Thank you so much for this, Macy! (This is gonna help me with some of it, just being able to write it out somewhere instead of just having it in my head... which is where it is right now). That being said, it’s not totally solid yet, just because I’m not entirely set on how I want this whole thing structured. I have somewhat of a general idea, but it’s not 100% there yet, so I’ll give you what I have (because these boys absolutely wreck me too so I completely understand). [And I don’t even care about spoilers anymore, I’m just going to tell all because it’s all still in the planning stages, so all subject to complete change hehehe].

- So Edgar’s mother, Margaret, was in her late teens when she married Gloucester, who was in his mid-twenties. They eventually had a son a few years later, Edgar, although he had no name for a year. Lear was off fighting in France and they wanted him to name the child (or at least Gloucester did). I’m feeling (and this might be too clean-cut) that Margaret started calling the boy “Thomas” in private. She didn’t want Lear to name the child, but eventually Gloucester got his way.

- In the meantime, Gloucester and Kent were sent off to France to help aid in the war effort. They both find themselves in a rough area one night, both of them sleeping with women they found on the street. One of those women is Edmund’s mother, Celine. Gloucester impregnates her and essentially leaves her to deal with this child that she has no money to raise. Celine, being a clever politician and knowing exactly who she slept with, persists in getting Gloucester to acknowledge the child and bring the boy back with him to England, much to his shame.

- Once Margaret finds that Gloucester has slept with this woman, and got a child out of her, and brought this child back to England. She is beyond heartbroken (this is when the naming for Edgar takes place, so it’s even worse for her). She becomes violently ill and Edgar is taken in by Christine, Albany’s governess, as is Edmund. She dies not long afterwards.

- The boys are raised together, becoming one another’s best friend as they are raised under Christine’s guidance, and she becomes a mother to them. Gloucester is only slightly involved in their upbringing until the boys get a little older, but he always seems to favor Edgar, and for a long time appears ashamed that Edmund’s in the picture at all. And you can bet that it reaches Edmund in a highly negative way, which makes Edgar upset. Edgar was always protective of his little brother, and would always call him ‘brother’ and nothing less.

- Edgar grows up wildly imaginative, somewhat theatrical, highly empathetic (which causes him to be sensitive beyond belief), kind, poetic, artistic, and eager to please. Edmund grows up somewhat advanced for his age (both of these boys did honestly, just in different ways), smart, also eager to please, also kind when he wants to be, stubborn, but highly capable.

- When the boys reach their teenage years, their duties start splitting. Edgar is taken under his father’s wing, schooled in military tactics, in law, in violence, in leadership (all things Edmund would love to learn). At first, being eager to please, Edgar is perceptible to all of this, wanting to be the man his father was. So he becomes very well read in law and in warfare. He basically has the whole world figured out by the time he’s sixteen. Then he starts seeing all the cracks in the wall, all the horribleness, everything that’s wrong with Lear’s awful regime. He starts spending more time on his own, only doing his duties because he’s afraid of the consequences of refusing. Edmund, in the meantime, is also being educated, but only as far as to join the army when he’s eighteen. It’s not the kind of attention he wants to be getting. Edmund would kill to be in his brother’s position.

- By the time Edgar’s eighteen, he’s anxious, misanthropic, losing faith in God, and when Christine dies, he becomes terrified of the idea of death. He is forced to join the army by his father. Albany promises Gloucester to look after Edgar, but Albany can see that Edgar is terribly unhappy. Edgar proves a terrible soldier, and even though he’s made ‘friends’ in the army, he loathes all of them for some reason or other. It’s also at the time that Lear and Gloucester agree that Edgar should marry Cordelia (the two of them are friends, but have never considered themselves lovers. They agree to go through with it for the sake of convenience).

- One night, around when Edgar’s nineteen, a group of Lear’s soldiers around Edgar’s age are all drunk, they make a petition to kill Lear and overthrow him at his jubilee parade, tired of all of the war and oppression that he’s been inflicting on the world outside. Edgar also signs the petition, but he’s completely sober. The petition ends up in Edgar’s coat pocket, and then it sits on his desk until the thought of this suicide mission drives him into a guilt-driven psychotic break. He spills ink all over his name, and also over his letters to Cordelia. Edmund catches him and calms him down enough to get him to a doctor, although Edgar has long since lost contact with reality. However, Edmund also sees Edgar’s treason, half-blotted out. He decides to save his brother by rewriting the petition without his brother’s name on it. He burns the other one. He hands the note back to one of the soldiers, hoping that they succeed because Edmund too strongly dislikes Lear.

- While Edmund saves his brother, he also betrays him. Jealous that his brother is to be married to Cordelia (and not believing that sickness to be as bad as it was), Edmund takes the ink-blotted letters and shows them to Lear, advising the king against the marriage as his brother is mad and clearly not in love with Cordelia, therefore completely ill-suited to be her husband. Lear agrees. Edmund joins the English army upon his eighteenth birthday. Cornwall takes him under his wing. Edmund enjoys the army, because everyone starts out on the same level and people only move up in the world through merit. He takes a nine-year tour in France, hoping to become a Major by the end (which he does).

- Edgar, meanwhile, recovers in Albany’s care. The jubilee plot falls through, but the group of knights on the new petition that Edmund drew up are all still executed. Edgar is removed from service due to his health. He eventually goes into public relations once he is well enough, working closely with Goneril. She is intensely jealous of Albany’s love for Edgar (which is going to play out in some way, but I’m not set on it yet). Edgar writes to Edmund during those nine years, never completely recovering, but he’s well enough to be on his feet. Edmund never reveals that he saved his brother, nor does he reveal that he was the one who destroyed Edgar’s possible marriage with Cordelia (although it probably would have fallen through on its own).

That’s what I’ve got so far! (Or at least these are ideas- they all need fleshing out and reorganizing, but here they are!) Thank you so much for this wonderful ask, Macy! (And for your constant support on this project - it means more than I can say!) Much love :)

#thank you so much for this macy!#much love #tep #the edgar project #edgar + edmund #my boys #the gloucester boys #my writing #writing #friends!#this was a joy to answer #and it helped me shuffle my ideas around a bit #so thank you so much!#:)

Hi! So I'm on my period and it hurts like a bitch. Is this normal? I've had my period since the fourth grade and I've never had cramps until somewhere in junior high. Should I go see a doctor or this happens to everyone and I'm just overreacting? Thank you in advance! :)

Hi! You have my sympathy; cramps can truly be awful sometimes. I can’t give specific medical advice online because without examining you or taking a history, I can’t be sure what might be causing this for you, and whether it’s normal for you. You probably are aware that’s my rule, but I thought I’d mention it all the same.The difficulty is this; periods are not as well studied as they should be. And they are also not widely talked about. We don’t (or didn’t used to) compare notes with our friends. Nowadays we’re a bit more open, but for a long time it was a taboo subject.So it’s really, really hard to know what is normal. Not all people with heavy flow would report it as being heavy; many just see it as normal. Likewise for painful cramps; they can be very bad, but some people suffer for so long that they just sort of put up with it and think that it happens to everyone. What we all consider painful cramps is relative, because we’re probably not all comparing it to the same pain. So we have no idea how painful cramps are on average, because we can never quite be sure what people are assuming is normal. Some people never have particularly painful cramps, and don’t have any idea how bad it can get, whilst others suffer really bad pain every month. Periods are a normal, healthy part of our bodies, and not every heavy or painful period is a sign of illness. But all the same, if it bothers you, or makes your life difficult, then it is worth getting it looked at. I would recommend seeing a doctor, if you have access to one. Because that would be the best way to find out if there’s anything causing them (which might mean treatment, and less painful cramps!). Even if there’s no cause (and it’s ‘normal’ for you), There are treatments specifically for really bad cramps, and your doctor could advise on what the best pain relief could be for you, to make sure that you don’t suffer through them. Or how to avoid periods and cramps altogether. Some people I know take more specific pain treatments for cramps, others take hormonal birth control or other things, but I believe it’s really important for you to look after yourself, have it looked at, and see if anything they suggest might work for you. In a young person, it’s not usually a sign of anything serious (so I don’t want to worry you), but I don’t believe in forcing people to struggle with pain when there is treatment available. Cramps can often change with age (typically things are worse as a teen and often settle afterwards) but everyone is different; we all learn what works for us. You certainly aren’t overreacting, and you deserve to be comfortable and not doubled over in agony for one week in every month. That’s a lot of time to be miserable.

So, I just found out that my boyfriend is a 6th generation blood witch, and he basically casted a protection spell on me so that no evil spirits would haunt him using my image or learn of who I was. Ever since then I've been feeling kind of sick and I've had this awful sinus stuff going on. Is that a possible side effect, or am I just sick?

Hi there. There’s a lot to unpack in this so I’ll try to explain things.

Witchcraft isn’t tied to blood. There are some witchcraft practices that are passed down through the bloodlines, you know, the same way a parent might teach their children a favorite recipe or a carpentry skill. There are some that believe otherwise, that witchcraft can be passed down through the blood, but I’ve never met anyone who has seemed more powerful or what-have-you, no matter how directly they’re decided from a practicing witch.

A second thing to consider is that many people in the past practiced magic and very likely never called it witchcraft or magic. That word has only recently been reclaimed - within the last 60 or so years - so it’s more likely they were called cunning folk or wise folks or what-have-you. This is true even now. Numerous Christians I know actually practice the exact same kind of things I do as a witch but would be highly insulted to be called a magical practitioner. Your own ancestors probably worked some type of magic or folkloric practice only a few generations back, no matter how devote they might be. So.... maybe having a hereditary power, even if such a thing existed, isn’t as important as others might suggest otherwise?

That seems a very strange spell to work. He cast a spell on you that protects him? Am I reading that right? Or is he trying to hide you from evil spirits? That’s... a weird spell to work. Because the spell may also be hiding you from potentially good spirits or spells, like guardian spirits or ancestors. It seems like a weird spell to cast without asking for your input or help. Maybe you should ask him what the purpose was behind casting that spell? Is he working against a situation that has happened or is he attempting to prevent situations? Sometimes the best magic to work is none at all - why fix what isn’t broken, after all.

As to feeling sick... Yes, a protection spell could be worked that can actually be harmful. This does happen. The protection spell may be effectively isolating you so that your spiritual immune system is more susceptible to stuff. Or it could be looking like a flu shot that gives you the flu.

That being said, it’s probably more likely that you’re just feeling sick. I don’t know where you are in the world, but it’s allergy season where I am so it could be that. If the illness continues past a reasonable time, be sure to check in with your doctor and get the mundane remedies going. Then ask your boyfriend to either repeal the spell or cast a healing spell.

TL;DR: You’re probably just feeling sick but if the sickness continues, go to a doctor and ask your boyfriend to end the spell. Because your health shouldn’t be affected negatively by a spell, no matter how good the intentions might be.

Don’t Be a Costanza

So, since I published this website a few days in the past, much has occurred. First and principal, i have mentioned my impending undertaking with many people. the majority’s initial response is something alongside the lines of: “That’s insane!”, or “That’s no longer feasible.”, or “You’re an fool!”, or “You’ve honestly lost it this time, John.” but, maximum, however no longer all, of these very same humans seem to come round to a comparable point of view after I explain my challenge in detail. a couple of those early skeptics have even grown pretty excited and captivated with my challenge. Their ardour is as contagious as it's miles inspiring! My number one goal for this beyond week has been to run around going to exceptional doctors to get blood and urine drawn for checking out and to begin making arrangements to get myself healthful in practise for the approaching yr. My efforts were semi a hit. I managed to get referrals to different doctors (Radiologist, Dermatologist, and Podiatrist) from my new number one care doctor. I had blood and urine drawn and could receive and put up the outcomes on or approximately August 15th. I went to get an MRI of my left knee due to the fact i've what I accept as true with is a calcium deposit on my knee cap. i'vehad it for maximum of my life, however it has these days begun to reason me ache. I consider it makes feel to get this trouble resolved earlier than subjecting myself to a rigorous workout regimen. i've flat feet. I decided that I must get custom orthotics considering how an awful lot exercise i am dealing with. After receiving a referral from my GP, I referred to as the podiatrist’s office and made an appointment explaining to the receptionist that i am flat footed and could need orthotics. The receptionist requested what insurance I had and ifurnished the information. Upon arrival on the physician’s workplace today, I filled out office work in which I defined the reason of my go to (orthotics for flat ft). The health practitioner advised the receptionist to name my coveragecorporation to see what turned into blanketed. i used to be not aware about that verbal exchange. ultimately, the health practitioner noticed me, informed me i was flat footed and needed orthotics. He said my coverage doesn’t cover orthotics until i am diabetic (???), but he would do it for me for the low fee of $four hundred. He indicated he typically costs $500. I stated, “No.” As i was walking out the door, the receptionist stopped me to call for a co-pay. I immediately felt my blood pressure start to upward thrust, my heart price speed up, and i am quite sure my skin have become flushed. I barked, “What for?” She responded, “For the consultation you simply had with the medical doctor.” I stated with regularly growing quantity, “i've recognized i was flat footed for the reason that i was a toddler and got hereright here for one motive: to get orthotics. I informed your workplace that once on the phone and once more once I got here. You knew the entire reason i used to be right here become not blanketed by using my coverage earlier than I noticed the physician. but, you despatched me in anyway so that you may want to mug me for a copay and invoice my insurance employer for a unnecessary three-minute consultation. You’ve wasted my time. You must be paying me.” The receptionist insisted that I pay and the medical doctor commenced to get concerned, blaming the entire scenario on my insurance enterprise. I sincerely felt type of terrible for the fellow. I begrudgingly reached into my pocket for $25, whilst proclaiming, “this is so crooked.” The receptionist scolded me pronouncing, “Please, we've got other patients!” plenty to my delight, a female with a toddler, the sole other affected person stated, “Don’t pay them something! I surewouldn’t!” I paid anyway, got a receipt, and left feeling like I had been overwhelmed. the moral of this story is keep away from dealing with docs and insurance agencies except surely essential. It’s truelynow not the medical doctors’ fault. The gadget in which they operate is basically damaged. happily, I consider you cankeep away from them for the most element by means of residing a healthy, easy, life-style (more on what I supposemeaning, especially, within the future). The best exception to this rule is if you can afford to no longer use insurancegroups when using the offerings of docs and/or have a trusted family member or a chum that is a medical doctor, then by means of all method, you need a terrific medical doctor in your group. the second, equally important, ethical of this tale is that I probable have very short telomeres. we will find out for suresoon sufficient. The cause I consider my telomeres are short is because someplace alongside the direction of my life, I appear to have advanced a George and Frank Costanza like temperament. I do now not suppose i was always this manner.however, I mechanically react to conditions like that which took place these days at the health practitioner’s workplaceby way of getting all fired up. It’s certainly now not worth it. So what? I got beat for $25. It’s an inconsequential sum of money in the complete scheme of factors and honestly now not really worth the telomere period I lost. within thecoming 12 months, I ought to learn to alternate and control this thing of my character. I ordered a Fitbit price 2 that simply arrived this night. i've not had a risk to open it or start messing with it but, howeverclearly intend to the next day. I agree with it is going to be an exceptionally useful tool to tune, log, and keep all types ofprecious statistics related to my quest. it will tune the subsequent: Steps, coronary heart fee, respiration exercises, status, stair hiking, weight, body fats, weight reduction, nutrients, water consumption, cardio health score, BMI, going for walks, cycling, simulated VO2 max, and sleep. i will sync it with extra apps including Strava, My health buddy, Lose It!, and Lumosity, the usage of my Fitbit price 2 as a centralized garage device for all of the associated data.
