"I never thought I'd say this, but I need your advice." for whoever you fancy :)
Thank you!! Have some bloodkin being obnoxious sisters.
Prompts list
-
Orin’s sister spends a good deal of time telling Orin what not to do. Don’t take too long on your kills, Orin. Don’t taunt them until you know they can’t escape. Don’t mangle the pulmonary artery when you carve out the heart, don’t ask your grandfather for advice, don’t dog ear books you borrow from me. 
So Orin relishes this. She gets to tell her sister—well, it’s not a “don’t.” But it’s a “shouldn’t,” and that’s just as fun. 
Her sister is not graceful in this reversal. She scowls in a petulant way that feels familiar to Orin. She can almost imagine it’s a family resemblance. 
“Why not?” her sister asks. 
“Because your hair’s too short, bloodkin,” Orin tells her serenely. “A braid like mine would not suit your little mop well at all. You’d bruise your neck with its clasp, you’d have such little rope to hang it with in the first place. It wouldn’t flatter your beautiful, boxy face.”
“Whatever,” her sister says. Orin tilts her head, and her sister tracks the sway of silver at the end of her braid. “I bet you get it caught on shit, more than you ever actually hit anyone with it.”
“You have so many gifts in the killing arts, dearest sister. What with your bounty, must you covet my meager prizes?”
Her sister rolls her eyes, but the scowl has slipped from her face. She loiters in the doorway of Orin’s room. Orin waits patiently for her sister to expose her throat. 
Her sister frequently lectures Orin on the training she received with the Deathstalker monks. She tells Orin about all the other kinds of death she must acquaint herself with. The death of worldly attachments, the death of desire, the death of the ego. Only by killing these parts of the soul, her sister tells her, can one know the pure-red-empty that they will gift the whole world. 
Orin’s sister squirms. Orin envisions her pinned by a Slayer’s fore-mandible. The Deathstalker monks never taught her sister how to style her terrible, terrible hair. 
Orin sits down on her bed and pats next to her. “Don’t pout,” she tells her sister. “Come here, and I’ll teach you how to hide arsenic capsules in a bun.”

Hangi şehir benimsenir yokluğunda?
Kiminle çay içilir?
En güzel sözlerin altı kimin için çizilir?
Kimin kokusu saklanır?
Hangi hayal hediye edilir?
Şimdi o çiçek desenli kirpiklerin,
Nasıl anlatır gülüşünün sesini?
Adının güzelliğine hangi alfabede rastlanır?
Kime dokunur bu kalp?
Hangi insanda rastlanır sana?
Gel ve anlat..
Senden başkası nasıl sevilir,
Bilmiyorum..

Actress Barbara Baldavin, known for her roles in the iconic sci-fi series Star Trek and the medical drama Medical Center, passed away on Sunday, March 31, 2024, at her home in Manhattan Beach, California. She was 85 years old. Baldavin's career spanned across television and film, with notable appearances both in front of the camera and behind the scenes in casting. Her journey began on the stage while attending El Camino College and later studying at the prestigious Lee Strasberg Institute. Remembering Barbara Baldavin A Starfleet Wedding Interrupted: Baldavin's Trek Appearances Trekkies will remember Baldavin for her portrayal of phaser control officer Angela Martine in two pivotal episodes of Star Trek: The Original Series first season. In the episode "Balance of Terror," her character's wedding to Starfleet officer Robert Tomlinson (played by Stephen Mines) is tragically interrupted by a Romulan attack, showcasing the ever-present dangers faced by the crew of the USS Enterprise.

Interestingly, she had previously appeared on the show's first season in a different role, showcasing her range as an actress. From Actress to Casting Director: Shaping Television Following her acting career, Baldavin transitioned into the world of casting, leveraging her industry experience to shape future television shows. Her keen eye for talent landed her roles in the casting departments of prestigious shows like Dynasty, Matt Houston, and Trapper John, M.D. This shift behind the scenes allowed Baldavin to play a crucial role in discovering and nurturing upcoming actors, contributing significantly to the television landscape of the 1980s.

Mental Health Benefits of Cooking
Tumblr media
Cooking is an activity cherished by many for its cost-saving benefits and its ability to hone culinary skills. Yet, its often-overlooked mental health benefits make it even more valuable.
One of the foremost mental health benefits of cooking is its capacity to foster social relationships. Loneliness can take a toll on mental well-being, but cooking has a remarkable ability to bring people together, providing a sense of security and companionship. Engaging in cooking activities with loved ones not only strengthens bonds but also enhances communication, contributing to improved mental health.
Moreover, cooking can instill a sense of accomplishment, elevating self-esteem and mental well-being. Mastering a recipe and creating a delectable dish can create a deep sense of satisfaction. The transformation of raw ingredients into something delicious is not only mentally gratifying, but also serves as a confidence booster, as it signifies the creation of something enjoyable for others.
Additionally, cooking serves as an effective stress reliever. While some may view cooking as a tiresome chore, others find it to be a joyful pastime. The intricate tasks involved, from chopping vegetables to stirring dishes, demand focus, allowing individuals to immerse themselves in the present moment and temporarily set aside their worries. This experience provides a welcome reprieve from stress by redirecting attention away from stressors.

Ok one more for M.D. "Do you believe in second chances?"
As they trance across the room from one another, Minthara and Mil meet. 
Minthara was never one to ascribe special meaning to her trances, never found in them the visions and messages some zealots claimed. But with illithid influence, the elves have created a utility to their rest. In their subconscious minds, they can communicate when waking words fail. 
And Mil has yet to find words for why they should not kill Orin the Red. 
“I’m not hesitating out of mercy,” Mil tells her. 
“Certainly not,” Minthara says. “Mercy would be sparing the lives of the next swathe of civilians she is due to murder.”
Mil purses her lips. They are walking through a purple nothingness as they speak, their feet meeting empty air. It’s a bit like being under a Gaseous Form spell. They are still mostly in Minthara’s mind, then. 
They usually are. Mil’s mind is red and liquid. 
“I need to know if you—” Mil cuts herself off. Words fail once more. Well, that’s why they’re meeting here. Mil directs her attention outward, around Minthara rather than to her. Minthara lets her thoughts suffuse the atmosphere. 
The mist around them turns a darker, plum color as Mil’s mind slips through it. Minthara can sense what she’s looking for. She wants to know what it is, exactly, that Minthara feels towards Orin. She’s worried it’s anger—no, hate, hate is what concerns her most. 
Minthara does not feel as confident in her knowledge of her own mind as she once did. But she thinks Mil will not find too much hate—certainly no more than the anger she will find. Anger and hate are hot. Warm, if one can stand to embrace them. What she feels most for Orin is something sharp, more than any other sensation. It brings her no comfort. 
Mil frowns as she delves through the clouds of Minthara’s thoughts. Whatever she finds does not comfort her either. The world around them has become a dense fog. Minthara needs to take a step closer to make out Mil’s face. 
“I need your help,” Mil says. “I don’t know why I want to—save Orin.”
“What makes you think she needs saving?”
“I don’t know. Can you help me find out?”
They’ve done this a few times before, with varying levels of success. Two people delving into one mind, together, seem to stand a respectable chance of uncovering its secrets. It’s how Minthara was able to remember what, exactly, Orin did to her. It’s how Mil was able to remember the family that raised her as a child. How she learned a Modify Memory spell had been cast on her, even if neither she nor Minthara could find a way through the Weave sewn around it. 
Mil holds out her hand. Minthara takes it, and the nothing under their feet substantiates and swallows them. 
It is harder to move through Mil’s mind, even for Mil herself. The sea they swim in has an unnatural current that always seems to push against them. The two of them make steady but slow progress down through the fathoms. Mil guides them, and Minthara can hear echoes of her orienting herself. Orin. Orin. Why don’t I hate Orin?
The water around them warms so gradually that, like the frog in the fable, Minthara does not notice it until it begins to blister her skin. 
Minthara looks to Mil. She is floating in place, enraptured. Minthara follows her fixed gaze. She does not understand what she sees until it is almost upon them. 
A world of flame quenches the water around them. Minthara can only stand it for a moment. Just long enough to witness Mil be immolated. Minthara jerks out of her trance with Mil’s ashes in her throat. 
Quickly, Minthara takes in her surroundings. Cheap silk under her thighs. People laughing too loud in the back streets behind the Elfsong. Mil sitting cross-legged on her bed, breathing and unharmed. Still in her trance. Now that she is grounded in reality again, Minthara lets herself understand the fire. 
She is intimately familiar with such heat. Anger is hot, hate is hot. But the inferno was not hatred of Orin. It was hatred for Orin. 
Minthara crosses the suite and wedges herself on Mil’s bed. Mil does not stir. Her body is warm. 
Minthara will have some comfort for her when she wakes. She still does not know how to feel about Orin, herself. But vengeance has always inspired courage in her.

#zeke,m.d.
Dr. Ezekiel “Zeke” Hamilton prided himself on his ability to read patients. The downcast eyes and the restless hands always gave away patients who weren’t taking their meds or following their diets. Thus it was quite a shock when he lost everything after his financial adviser and best friend looked him squarely in the eyes with quiet hands and told him his retirement was safe and sound. His ex-pal Jimbo was someplace warm and sunny spending Zeke”s embezzled retirement money with Zeke’s ex wife and Zeke’s ex-dog. Dammit, I liked that dog, thought Zeke. Four years, four months and four days of eating, drinking and fishing were over. Zeke Hamilton M.D. was returning to the world of medicine. 
The good news was that he still had a medical license. They last for ten years and he had just re-upped a year before his retirement.The bad news was that he did not have a job. He partly or mostly retired because the medical practice he started was bought out by the local hospital chain. After what I said there’s no way even those guys would take me back he thought. 
Zeke looked in the mirror as he primped and prepped for his appointment with the physician placement company. Not bad for 61, he thought. Oprah said 60 is the new 40 and hell Oprah is right about everything. A few gray hairs and a few extra pounds but I’ve still got it. Who wouldn’t want to hire a great looking, intelligent and humble guy like me? He dragged himself away from the mirror and headed off to his interview. 
Being a locum tenens doc always sound cool and faintly exotic. In literal terms a locum tenens “held the place” of a full time worker on leave. In practical terms one locum tenens replaced another in a revolving door fashion in places that couldn't find full time physicians. Adaptability and willingness to travel were necessary traits for a locum tenens. Zeke had neither but he figured he could adapt to anything anywhere as long as they paid him well. 
Doctors have an arrogance problem. They get the best grades at the best schools and heck they know how your vital organs work. Zeke had it but at least recognized it and tried to fight it. Today though it was hard to fight as he sat in the office of Marian DeWald, physician placement specialist. Maybe it was the three stooges Moe haircut or maybe it was the sloppy trifecta of clothes, desk and attitude but he was fighting the arrogance demons big time today. 
“Why are you thinking about locum tenens Dr. Hamilton?”, asked Mrs. DeWald. 
So I can work my butt off in some god-forsaken place with a bunch of jerks he thought. 
“I just want a change of pace. Retirement was great but I needed to feel useful again. Being a doctor is so much of who I am I couldn’t give it up forever.” 
“What kind of position are you interested in?”, she asked. Any place without hospital administrators or jackass young doctors, he thought. “I’m flexible”, he said, “I just want to work with good solid people.” “Did you have any places in mind”, she asked. Hawaii or Vail would be nice, he thought, but anything would be better than a homeless shelter. 
“You know I could probably be happy anywhere as long as I am taking care of patients.” 
“That’s a great attitude Dr. Hamilton” she responded, “let’s see what’s available”. “You know that with the all the changes in healthcare locum tenens jobs have become very popular with doctors. We don’t have nearly as many positions available as we did a few years ago.” 
Great, thought Zeke, East Armpit here we come. 
“Here’s one that might interest you”, she said looking up from her computer screen. 
With that haircut I should at least be able to “pick two” he thought. 
“Great, what have you got for me?” he answered. 
“Now remember to keep an open mind. Some smaller hospitals are actually wonderful places to work”, she said with a smile. “It’s the patients and the people that make the difference”. 
Wow, he thought, this must be the physician placement version of the “it’s not you, it’s me” speech Zeke had used with assorted ex-girlfriends over the years. 
“There is a small hospital in Nebraska that really needs help” she said. 
His mouth was already forming the “no f—king way” when he heard the $5000 a week plus expenses part. 
“Nebraska” , he said, I’ve never been to that part of the country. Corn and football are two of my favorite things. What’s the job like?” 
“It’s a small hospital, she said, but it services a large area. They need a doc who can handle a lot of different things. The hospital patients need to be rounded on. There is a small ER that needs to be staffed and an outpatient clinic.” 
“Would I be working on my own”, he said. 
“There is another physician there as well as a nurse practitioner”, she said. “Have you ever worked with a nurse practitioner?” 
A nurse what? he thought but answered “oh yeah many times. They are always a great addition to the team”. 
“Well that is fantastic Dr. Hamilton”, she said, “ I think this will work out very well for everybody”. “When can you start? They could really use some help out there so the sooner the better”. 
“I have a few things I have to do before I leave(that rented DVD has to get back) and some loved ones to notify(OK maybe not) but I can leave in two days if that is convenient”. 
“Great, said Mrs. DeWald, we will book a flight for you on Wednesday. I will call them and make all your arrangements. I am sure they will be so excited to see you.” 
Now to find that DVD and rustle up some loved ones. He wasn’t even in Nebraska yet and he was talking about rustling, he thought. “Thanks so much for your help,” he answered. I can’t wait for this new adventure. Er, how does compensation work?” 
“If you give me your banking information I can arrange a direct deposit every week. Of course the hospital has to be happy with your work. That is part of the arrangement.” 
Great, he thought, once again at the mercy of the bozos. “No problem, he said, I am sure they will be very satisfied with my efforts. Goodbye Mrs. De Wald. It has been a pleasure”. Wait, he thought, not pleasure but something that begins with p—pain in the ass, that’s it. 
Next thing Zeke he knew he was on a plane to Omaha, Nebraska. First class-not hardly. business class-nope. Econo class with a middle seat and big fatties on either side. I had no idea that Omaha beef referred to humans, he thought, as he tried some meditative self shrinkage techniques. After landing and extricating himself from his fellow passengers Zeke made his way the the rental car kiosk. “Yes we have your reservation, Dr. Hamilton” said the clerk. Cedes, Beemer or Lambo thought Zeke. “Your Hyundai econo car is ready for you”. These guys really know how to roll out the red carpet, thought Zeke. 
Zeke found his car(in between a mercedes and a bmw by the way-thank you god) and prayed it had a GPS. Thankfully it did so he punched in his new home of Woomsey, Nebraska. 
Woomsey sounds too much like woe-is-me he thought. Maybe they need a shrink rather than a seasoned GP like me. Oh well they’ve got me now. He hit the gas and away he went to a new chapter in life. 
After four hours of country music and “huskers” football news Zeke finally pulled into the parking lot of the medical center. Wow, he thought, I didn’t know Days Inn was branching out into hospitals. The low slung building with the protruding awning screamed “free HBO”. It’s hard to believe this place holds 30 patients, operating rooms and an ER. This place was sure no Massachusetts General Hospital but he had 5000 good reasons to be here. Taking a deep breath he walked in and looked for a friendly face and free HBO.
