Hello! First in foremost I love your Allura cosplay and it inspired me to do one! For the wig did it come like that or did you style it? If you did style it pls help. Thank you!

Thank you so much Anon!! :‘3 It really means a lot!! 😭😭✨💖💖😁😁😄😙💖

And gosh, the wig already came styled! :3 (Thank goodness, XD because I can’t style wigs to save my life!!)

This is Epic Cosplay’s Daphne in Classic White!! https://www.epiccosplay.com/daphne-classic-white.html

I went for a wig that was already curly with no bangs pre-cut into the wig. So I just sectioned off the bang loopy things, and pinned it into the back of my head. And then gathered the rest of the hair and tied it into a bun!

It’s not the best of styling, but it works so far until I get the chance to upgrade my Allura!!

Do tag me or message me WIPs of your Allura!! I’d love to see it!! I can’t wait to see you join the ranks as a Space Princess!! 😁😁✨✨😀😀😄💖💖✨

You got this anon!! 😙😙😙💖

death’s door; chapter four

For a few seconds, nobody speaks. Juxtaposed against the constant noise of the city surrounding them, Inez isn’t sure if she finds their silence unnerving or not.

“Grim Reapers?” She repeats after the silence stretches on for a beat too long. “That’s really—” Nervous laughter cuts her off, forcing its way between her lips. She takes a small step backwards and tries again. “That’s just—” The laughter, more parts hysterics than nerves now, climbs back up her throat again and bursts free. Everything seems to catch up with her at once; visions of her body lying across the tracks; the ominous, inky mass that had chased her relentlessly through the tunnel; the excruciating pain.

To their credit, both Jameela and Dhilan wait patiently, watching as the laughter wracks unbidden through her body, until her hysterical cackles become loud, gasping sobs; until she can’t stand upright, clutching the nearest railing for support as her body shakes and the tears begin to fall.

“There we go.”

It’s 2015. If doctors don’t know how to operate on fat bodies. Then they shouldn’t be doctors. We have enough resources an equipment to deal with “obese” patients. There is no need for the medical community to continue fat shaming. 

[ittybittykittykisses]

Let’s talk a little bit more in depth about how obesity affects surgical procedures.

In most serious, intensive surgeries, you’re probably going to be under anesthesia, right? And you’re probably going to have medications to take afterwards. Stuff like this filtered through the kidneys and liver.

Obese patients have much higher rates of renal hypertension, which affects the kidneys, and morbidly obese patients have a 90% likelihood of having abnormalities in their liver.

That all adds up to a really bad time, and drugs being filtered out of the system quicker and therefore not working as intended. And you really want your anesthesia to work right when people are cutting into you.

In addition to this, some weight-based drugs are affected by fatty tissue, and some are not, so this can cause problems in determining the proper dosage.

Obese patients are at a higher risk for deep-vein thrombosis – this is when a blood clot forms in a deep vein, like in the leg. Surgery is recognized as a risk factor for DVT, and so obese patients undergoing surgery are doubly at risk.

Finding veins in the patient is also made difficult – it’s the difference between finding the edge piece in a 1000 piece puzzle, vs finding it in a 100 piece puzzle.

It’s harder to monitor blood pressure in obese patients as well, as standard cuffs may not work due to there being too much fatty tissue between the blood vessel and the cuff.

When you’re performing surgery, you have to pull back the flesh and muscle to get to where you’re trying to operate on – the more you have to pull back, the more difficult this becomes.

This image shows how much more you’re having to work through when doing an operation on an obese person:

So no, it’s not a matter of doctors being bad at their job. Surgery by itself is a difficult and risk-laden process – adding obesity on top of that adds an uneccessary layer of additional risk and complexity.

This is very true. When I had open heart surgery, there were various complications as well as problems with the anesthesia because of how fat I was. Thanks be to God my surgeon was top notch. But the fact of the matter is that if I was a thinner patient, the surgery would have been far less traumatic. In fact, if I had not put on so much weight, my aortic valve would have lasted me longer. So, yeah, biological and scientific realities are at stake when you carry too much weight.

[science-fiction-is-real]

I have seen some communities on tumblr try to push a “body positive” self esteem agenda by dismissing health risks of obesity as fat bias.

Yes.  You can be beautiful no matter what your body looks like.

No.  You cannot always be healthy regardless of what your body looks like, and while self confidence is important, taking care of yourself and addressing health problems-including being overweight- is important.

Thanks for someone being honest and real about the risks of obesity and the medical field

[chubbynatsume]

Im glad this didnt explode and now ive learned a little more about health risks and obesity. Thank you tumblr

when ppl say flash animation pretty much always what i can tell they’re actually thinking of is what is referred to in animation practice as puppet animation, which i agree sucks like 90% of the time (there are a FEW shows that use it very masterfully, like homestar runner and one i’ll show later, though)

guess what? this is flash!

this is also flash!

THIS is puppet animation:

the funniest part is that most puppet animation isn’t even done in flash anymore. people use after effects instead because it has MUCH more sophisticated and useful tools meant specifically for puppet animation.

the technique can be used well, however. my little pony does it so fluidly it looks practically seamless.

homestar runner doesn’t focus nearly as much on fluidity, but instead on constructing strong, expressive key poses and making every frame really count.

puppet animation isn’t even limited to digital mediums. in fact, it’s not new at all.

the adventures of prince achmed is the world’s oldest surviving feature-length animated film - that’s right, predating snow white by over 10 years - and it was done entirely using puppet animation; black paper cutouts atop illuminated backgrounds. and it’s truly fucking breathtaking.

the most unrealistic thing about tv shows is how no one ever wears glasses??? there’s approximately one (1) character that wears them, and most of the time it’s just to fit in the nerd steoretype? half my friends wear glasses, including me, and i can name like other 20 people that do??? how is it possible that all of these character have perfect eyesight i’m
