AOUGH THIS IS SO GOOD I LOVE THIS,, thinking about maybe like. A Basilisk Gone Wrong as Agatha? Yknow like that one was at hexside? It'd prob be more interesting to have it as another character and I hate painting the basilisks in a negative light 😭 but they can shapeshift + steal powers so that's kinda interesting! ITS YOUR AU THO and idk how much you wanna actually do with it but yeah KSfj 😅

emeraldart

WAIT that’s a good idea!! Maybe to the basilisks in a better light Vee could be one of the agents? This AU is still very much just brain rot

lavendertrash39

OHH yeah I like that! Maybe she's able to recognize the sort of 'mole' in the story 👀👀 everyone's focused on Willow and she tells them that it felt like there was something off-- something BEYOND the obvious yknow? But they're all too focused on getting Willow out..

aougHh it could also be cool to have a dilemma at one point where they have a discussion of. maybe they should let the basilisk drain her magic. Maybe just a bit. maybe it'd make the illusion falter-- but also that's their friend that they're putting at risk...

fJSDKLFj and the au just being brainrot's totally cool 😎 i do that all the time and I just spin the au around in my head like it's a microwave for weeks 😂

Oooh I kinda love this! The only thing I would change is have BOTH Willow and GUS run away in grief Hunter and Gus are brothers And Gus' illusions with the plants to solidify them? Plus it gives two people to negotiate with to try and break them free And adds conflict if one of them does (honestly I just love Emerald Trio content)

i feel like sometimes we dont give enough attention to toh having FOUR TRANS CHARACTERS. FOUR. thats INSANE? and they all present differently, are all different ages, and ALL of their pronouns are respected. holyy shit. getting a character of color whos middle aged and they/them, a teenager that doesnt bind and looks feminine and is STILL they/them and respected as such, a little boyish child god with he/they pronouns, a chill dad whos heavily implied to be bigender, ITS AMAZING!! they dont even fall into the pit of "only aliens are nonbinary" BECAUSE they made raine, an average witch, nonbinary, and made masha, a normal teenage human, nonbinary too. whenever i think about it too long i explode of happiness. thank you so much toh

I hate the cosmetic surgery industry for so many reasons I really do. But the line between cosmetic and medically necessary plastic surgeries is as a cloud, and we cannot sacrifice bodily autonomy for bans so. We need to dismantle white supremacy and the patriarchy in order to effectively tackle the issue. I should be able to get elective top surgery without medicalising my transness you get?

I had a breast reduction when I was 16. I was so top heavy that my back had started spasming badly by the time I was 12, if I hadn’t been able to get my reduction, I would’ve been in more extreme pain for much longer. The relief was almost instant. Just one example of medically necessary plastic surgery, in case people aren’t sure what that looks like.

Medically necessary plastic surgery also includes removing excess skin when someone loses a lot of weight: skin folds can become infected. Burn victims’ skin grafts, those are plastic surgery too. The field covers a lot more than people think.

Harold Gillies, now considered to be the father of modern plastic surgery, developed most of his techniques (many of which are still in use today) specifically to reconstruct the faces of men who'd been injured in WW1.

Advances in weaponry meant that, for the first time, men were coming home from war with literally half their faces blown off, on a regular basis. This was not only traumatic— there were cases of men cancelling engagements or being afraid to see their families, because of their disfigurements— but also caused problems with every day tasks like speaking and eating, in which your face plays a pretty key role.

Gillies arranged for a whole ward, and later a hospital, to be dedicated to the treatment of these men, and took steps to ensure that all soldiers who received these kinds of injuries on the battlefield would be sent to him directly. He developed methods for applying skin grafts so that larger portions of the face could be repaired.

He continued his work treating wounded soldiers throughout WW1 and WW2, and when both wars were ended— just in case he hadn't done enough to establish himself as a full on hero— he was then approached by a medical student named Michael Dillon, a trans man, and was able to use the same techniques he'd developed to reconstruct the penises of wounded soldiers to give him a phalloplasty. The first one ever performed on a trans man. He even diagnosed the guy with a condition to explain the frequent operations, so as to avoid outing him.

Dillon later wrote a book about trans-ness, which inspired Roberta Cowell, who became the first British transwoman to get a vaginoplasty, also performed by Gillies.

In both cases, the techniques he developed were still being used in similar operations decades later. Gillies himself stated that he wanted no publicity for performing these operations, saying that "If it gives real happiness, that is the most that any surgeon or medicine can give.”

Chronic Illness Boredom

Being chronically ill means I'm in bed or sat down 99% of the time. IT IS BORING.

It can be hard to mentally cope with TV, books, art, music for exanple & causes physical symptoms if I push through.

What do you guys do to stay sane? Feel free to add as many as you like💜✨

Almost. Years ago my computer suddenly stopped working and lost everything on it. Fortunately a relatively recent backup still existed bc of my family, a recent parts switch, and dumb luck. But last year a friend of mine got hacked and lost close to everything he had done creatively in the last 17-ish years. Art. Novels in progress. Entire conlangs. DnD character Sheets. Music he had made. All gone. He never backed any of it up. Few months later I started this habit (or ritual, almost) of drawing a reminder beast any time I would make a full complete backup. In hopes that seeing these things might remind others and myself. (Another factor here is that I am an animator and some of the stuff on my computer took literal years to make. And the film university I go to urges us to take this stuff seriously, too.)

Y’know what? Fuck you. *Plays an acoustic guitar version of your leitmotif to show you still have tenderness and care in your heart, and compassion for others*

sharklights

yeah? well fuck YOU *plays a music box version of your leitmotif to show that this is your home and its comfortable and nostalgic here*

threecirclingbuzzards

No, piss off! *plays your leitmotif with immense reverb and a toned-down synth sound to show that nostalgia can also be about loss of what never truly was, a reflection of a reflection and a false memory of a false memory*

sharklights

ok, boomer. *plays your leitmotif using discordant synth bass to display your spiral into villainy after you discover that your memories were a fabricated illusion that were created just to keep you complacent, and how that information is destroying you*

threecirclingbuzzards

How many times do I have to teach you this lesson, old man? *plays your leitmotif in harmony with my own, intensity of both changing as our climactic battle’s balance shifts back and forth, eventually leaving only one with long, low pauses to musically represent our mutual struggle to overtake the other, yet not being able to exist in full without them.*

sharklights

oh, you’re going to regret that! *plays your leitmotif on piano in short, soft notes to show that you’re being worn down, and that your energy is at a low, but with a steadily rising bassline that foreshadows your upcoming second form*
