Yes, I am still not, and probably never will be over this scene.

A spoon's only objective in life is to make soup go upwards, and it knows this. That's why when you put one under a running tap it blasts the water way high. The spoon thinks there's suddenly TONS of soup to deal with and it freaks out.

I literally do not feel ashamed in the slightest for getting social services because the government is wasting half of my tax money on fighter jets like why should I feel guilty for getting free stuff when this country is keeping Boeing in business on purpose

And I don’t feel like brave despite the shame or anything like no I’m bragging about it and also I think everyone should get this. Like I get free prescriptions and free food man you wish you had that. Get mad at the guys not giving it to you, not me for getting it.

The worst part to me as someone who is both neurodiverse and a health care worker is that we are quite literally trained on this, they tell us over and over that physical appearance and vital signs DO NOT override a patients stated pain level, and we talk about pain presentation in special populations as well and how its different.

And yet this STILL happens.

Maybe its because I have personally lived the expiriance my self but I have quite literally never refused pain medication to a patient unless there was a legitimate reason (blood pressure was too low for morphine for example). And its actually Not That Hard to just give the medicine!!!

There are real reasons and circumstances not to. But as someone who has expirianced extreme pain, if there are legitimate reasons why you can't then you need to throughly explain that to your patients.

Most people understand things like "you have kidney damage so this medicine could kill you, but let's try something else" because they want to know youre at least fucking working with them!!!!

it’s crazy how many times I’m like “I don’t feel good” and doctors are like “there is nothing wrong with you actually” and then they get test results back and go “oh fuck. wait a minute. you weren’t lying. this is real not good.”

and I get it, I know an element of medical misogyny plays into because they see me as a woman but I think it’s also because I’m autistic and my reactions are not ‘appropriate’. when I’m in severe pain I’m silent and I’m fidgety. they probably think I’m overstating my symptoms because my affect is flat and I’m not emoting when that is actually a sign I am doing very badly.

I feel like I read somewhere that warnings with actual real pictures on them are the most effective. Like showing the black lungs from smoking on a pack of cigarettes. People have this wierd sort of abstract thinking about why something won't happen to them (even smart critical people!) and so warnings tend to just, not work, pretty frequently. But when they're paired with visuals of what is actually going to happen it's no longer abstract and people are much better at following the warnings.

I think if you try to wiggle out of getting your dog vaccinated for rabies due to your own anti-vax beliefs, you should be forced to watch footage of a dog succumbing to rabies and the pathological process of taking brain tissue from a suspected canine rabies victim. I really think treating these people with kid gloves is not working and they need to viscerally see what the consequences of their actions can be.

Oh my god where’s that one beach boys photo that looks like a hardcore show

Frankly some of you should be hornier over weirder shit. The fear of being too genuine is the enemy of art. Be a bit of a pervert. It's good for the health. Doesn't have to be a sexual thing just own up to being a bit obsessed in some cringe shit it's fine.

Wait

Im so sorry to derail this post but you just blasted my 3rd eye wide open

Gaius IS Uther's wierd little guy that he trusts too much and asks for too much advice from and lets him have an opinion where he absolutely has no business having one.

Actually. Gaius and Uther are the exact opposite dynamic of Merlin and Arthur.

We know that before the purge Gaius openly practiced magic and Uther wasn't violently opposed to it until he lost his wife.

They had magic in the land, they *were* Merlin and Arthur, and then Uther saw magic as evil after it killed his wife and the started the great purge and Gaius who was dedicated to Uther stopped using magic and stayed by his side.

Why did I never see how perfectly oppositly opposed they are to Merlin and Arthur's story arch

I bet Gaius and Uther used to be REALLLLLY close and the wedge between them grew with Uthers hatred of magic just the same way the rift between Merlin and Arthur closed as Arthur became more accepting

I uhhhhhhh might need to write something about this so sorry to derail op

Continuing on my Merlin bullshit...

Does anyone know of any fics that involve Merlin getting recognition as the apprentice to Camelot's court physician. 

Like, even if Merlin didn't become Arthur's manservant, he would have eventually had a position in court anyways (like how Uther trusted Gaius)
