How Many Times Must I Tell You, Stanley? If You Saw My True Form Then Your Tiny, Human Mind Would Simply

My Narrator is up against yours in the new poll so I just wanted to say hi :) I’m sure you’ll win! I absolutely love your design they are very endearing!! (Also people will likely vote for the Narrator they’re attracted to the most and let’s just say yours is closer to people’s fantasies. From what I’ve seen, I actually really struggle to understand what people are attracted to)

take it.

Pizzeria Simulator and UCN are still free on Steam. And last I checked, Help Wanted might be too powerful to run on p.c. I tried it on my laptop and wouldn't work.

look i love the good omens fandom and all, but some people gotta get this idea out of their heads that in order to be non-binary, you must be androgynous. being non-binary is a complex specturm and people can use binary pronouns and still be non binary. people can still present as male or female and still be non binary.

and there's this idea that calling Aziraphale and Crowley non-binary is a "cop-out". thats entirely skipping over the fact that Crowley is clearly genderfluid (presenting as female multiple times, having a canon deadname, being referred to as she/her in the books). Aziraphale, though presenting and going by male pronouns, is still an angel. Neil has made it clear that all demons and angels are non-binary. it was something stated back in book Good Omens, not something added on just recently.

non-binary elements can be seen with the other demons/angels as well. like Micheal, though having a male name, presenting as female. or Beezlebub being an androgenous character. or Pollution going by they/them pronouns and being reffered to as 'sir', while presenting as female.

this is the most non-binary rep i have ever seen from a show. where literally most of the characters are non-binary and it is demonstrated throughout. this wasn't something just offhandedly mentioned, i have seen really shitty cop-outs before. This was not one of them. At all.

and even if you ignore all of what i just said, dont forget that Good Omens is a love story. And that Crowley and Aziraphale canonically love each other. And Neil has stated that the lines "you go to fast for me" and "to the world" were romantic.

just because they arent two gay men does not at all mean it is not queer rep. It absolutely is. gay men and women are not the only people in the lgbt+ community. we are a vast variety who all deserve representation in media. and the fact i see some of my fellow lgbt peoples trashing on non-binary representation really, really saddens me.

i personally felt represented as i am a transmasc person. i am on the non-binary spectrum, go by he/they pronouns, and mostly present as male or neutral. i dont mind being referred to as a guy, but i am not fully male-aligned. thats why i related to so many characters. Thats part of the reason this show is so important to me.

and i do want to say, im not here to get into argurments. if you disagree with me, cool, scross past and ignore this. but i will not take time out of my day to argue with strangers in my dms or in the comments section. im only here because i, as a non-binary person myself, wanted to explain how Good Omens is a good source of rep for trans/non-binary peoples

goodnight

Deceit: as long as i strike terror into the hearts of my enemies what does it matter what my “gender” is

Deceit: i don’t identify as “male” or “female” i identify as a threat

Okay so i thought of some moon boi ™ head canons

( @xcatnapsx had input of course because she is the brains round here and told me to post this )

(Also pls be nice i’ve never done this before xoxo)

Okay so imagine reader and Khonshu being besties even though she can't see him like they hate eachother at first but then become like siblings

- Marc, sighing heavily: Khonshu says hi

- Marc, aggressively annoyed now: excuse me, sorry, he said HI

Marc wakes u up in the night and he’s so mad and you’re like huh? And u can see the flat is a mess with things knocked over - signs of a Khonshu tantrum - and Marc is almost crying from anger “khonshu wanted me to tell u that he saw a cool rock today and it made him think of u, AND FOR SOME REASON ThAT iNFORMATION COULDNT WAIT TIL FucKING MORNING”

You joke that its like having your own lil poltergeist knocking things about and your bois are NOT impressed

To all my non-Jewish fanfic writers who want to write about Hanukkah: hi!! Thank you for taking an interest in our culture and traditions and for wanting to be inclusive. We really appreciate it! I just want to mention a few things to keep in mind while you’re doing this.

1. HANUKKAH IS NOT JUST “JEWISH CHRISTMAS”. This is the big one. Yes, the two holidays happen to be around the same time, and the Christian/capitalist society that we live in decided to make Hanukkah a big deal to sell more decorations or something. But it is in fact it’s own thing, and is a fairly minor holiday. Our big, most important holidays are in the fall! Which brings me to,

2. The original story of Hanukkah is about the Maccabees, a group of Jews who resisted the forced assimilation into an oppressive society that said “convert or die.” So in the spirit of that, I BEG you. Do not write a fic about a poor clueless Jewish person being shown the magic of Christmas and thinking it’s so much better, or any sort of trying to save/convert us bs. That’s just antisemitism, baby. We are proud of our unique culture and heritage that has lasted thousands of years of persecution.

3. Please be respectful when talking about Orthodox or Hasidic Jews. Orthodox women are not oppressed. (Many Jewish women born outside of Orthodoxy actually choose to convert into it, and to adopt the rules of modesty! They are called Ba’al teshuva!) If you’re going to write a fic about a person who grew up Orthodox or otherwise very religious but chose to leave it, please be kind and don’t make generalizations.

Mostly my point is to just be respectful. Jewish people are not a monolith. There are lots of different ethnic groups under the umbrella of the Jewish people with different traditions that are all incredibly beautiful and important. When writing about us, please do your research and talk to Jewish people about our experiences. If you don’t know any, message me! I’m always happy to talk about it.

Happy writing, and chag Hanukkah sameach!

Writing Traumatic Injuries References

So, pretty frequently writers screw up when they write about injuries. People are clonked over the head, pass out for hours, and wake up with just a headache… Eragon breaks his wrist and it’s just fine within days… Wounds heal with nary a scar, ever…

I’m aiming to fix that.

Here are over 100 links covering just about every facet of traumatic injuries (physical, psychological, long-term), focusing mainly on burns, concussions, fractures, and lacerations. Now you can beat up your characters properly!

General resources

WebMD

Mayo Clinic first aid

Mayo Clinic diseases

First Aid

PubMed: The source for biomedical literature

Diagrams: Veins (towards heart), arteries (away from heart) bones, nervous system, brain

Incision vs. laceration: Most of the time (including in medical literature) they’re used synonymously, but eh.

Types of lacerations: Page has links to some particularly graphic images—beware!

How to stop bleeding: 1, 2, 3

Puncture wounds: Including a bit about what sort of wounds are most likely to become infected

More about puncture wounds

Wound assessment: A huge amount of information, including what the color of the flesh indicates, different kinds of things that ooze from a wound, and so much more.

Home treatment of gunshot wound, also basics More about gunshot wounds, including medical procedures

Tourniquet use: Controversy around it, latest research

Location pain chart: Originally intended for tattoo pain, but pretty accurate for cuts

General note: Deeper=more serious. Elevate wounded limb so that gravity draws blood towards heart. Scalp wounds also bleed a lot but tend to be superficial. If it’s dirty, risk infection. If it hits the digestive system and you don’t die immediately, infection’ll probably kill you. Don’t forget the possibility of tetanus! If a wound is positioned such that movement would cause the wound to gape open (i.e. horizontally across the knee) it’s harder to keep it closed and may take longer for it to heal.

Broken bones

Types of fractures

Healing time of common fractures

Broken wrists

Broken ankles/feet

Fractured vertebrae: Neck (1, 2), back

Types of casts

Splints

Fracture complications

Broken noses

Broken digits: Fingers and toes

General notes: If it’s a compound fracture (bone poking through) good luck fixing it on your own. If the bone is in multiple pieces, surgery is necessary to fix it—probably can’t reduce (“set”) it from the outside. Older people heal more slowly. It’s possible for bones to “heal” crooked and cause long-term problems and joint pain. Consider damage to nearby nerves, muscle, and blood vessels.

Concussions

General overview

Types of concussions 1, 2

Concussion complications

Mild Brain Injuries: The next step up from most severe type of concussion, Grade 3

Post-concussion syndrome

Second impact syndrome: When a second blow delivered before recovering from the initial concussion has catastrophic effects. Apparently rare.

Recovering from a concussion

Symptoms: Scroll about halfway down the page for the most severe symptoms

Whiplash

General notes: If you pass out, even for a few seconds, it’s serious. If you have multiple concussions over a lifetime, they will be progressively more serious. Symptoms can linger for a long time.
