ACL Causes, Treatment and Rehabilitation

The ACL is a vital ligament that stabilizes the knee joint, and injuries often occur during sports or activities involving sudden stops, pivoting, or changes in direction. Pre-operative physical therapy for ACL injuries is crucial for optimizing surgical outcomes and promoting successful rehabilitation.

some of my fave pieces of Great Dog Advice I’ve seen people give include:

-You do not need to impose exercise restrictions on an injured or post-surgical dog, because dogs will never over-exert themselves.

-only deworm your dog on a full moon.

-dogs will only eat food that is good for them; they naturally know to avoid toxins

-dogs should be allowed to breed freely because they will only mate with the most fit partners.

-some dogs simply should never have their hair groomed or cut because it will make them feel bad about how they look.

You know what, now that I think of it with that “monsters other than werewolves” ask I sent months ago I didn’t give possessed by a demon that makes you take hrt enough development.

Like imagine a social media influencer. She’s pretty, but not the scalpel-enhanced doll-pretty of the most popular on her website of choice. She doesn’t have the money for that, she’s never had the money for that, but what she does have is her grandfather’s grimoire. Despite all she’s clawed and scraped and kicked down ladders to get where she is, she does still have a soul and she’s willing to trade it for the perfect body.

She’s shocked when the demon tells her he doesn’t want it. Instead he holds up a single clawed finger.

“You have good bones, but I’ll need significant time to make the necessary adjustments. I want one year in full control of your body.”

She blinks at that, one year with a monster steering her around. She decides he’s probably some fucking pervert and shrugs. A year of ogling her own tits would be worth it if she hits 1 million by the end of it.

“Fine,” she agrees. “One year.”

As they shake on it, he melts into her skin and she begins her year as a passenger.

The demon begins a daily course of injections. Some glowing red shit she doesn’t figure would have any earthly counter part. He keeps posting to maintain her online presence. Lots of shots of them drinking pre work out, going to the gym. She hadn’t been a wellness influencer beforehand but she guessed it was fine, they were getting a decent amount of engagement. She tells the demon to lay off the creatine she doesn’t want to get too bulked up but he always just laughs and insists in her voice that he knows what he’s doing.

The panic hasn’t set in quite yet, that only comes when she helplessly watches her own thumb hover over the edit button of her bio.

“What are you doing?”

The demon clicks it. Removes her carefully crafted bio and replaces it with “need some time to think. Taking hiatus” before replacing her profile pic with a blank red circle and her screen name with a single period.

“What the fuck are you doing?!”

“I’m moving to the next stage. We want them to think this was surgical not supernatural.” He says flatly. Tossing her phone on the couch as he finishes. She can’t help but notice her voice is huskier than it used to be. The explanation makes sense but she can’t help but feel like something’s wrong.

Even without being online they still go to the gym. They’re starting to get more and more stares. Looking at herself in the mirror as the demon exercises she can’t help but notice that her jawline has gotten sharper. Her cheek bones more prominent. It gives her hope. She’s going to look fucking snatched.

After the gym she watches him order a pair of clippers online.

“What are you planning to do with those.”

“Your hair is too damaged to work with properly.”

She desperately tries to wrench back control of her body.

“You’re going to make me bald?!”

“That’s part of why you’re going on hiatus. I’m giving you time to grow it back.” He assures her. Still she fights him every single day to no avail until the clippers come.

He sheers all of her hair off as if it’s nothing. It becomes nothing. Just a pile on the cut open garbage bag he had been using as a make shift tarp. He runs her hand over the remaining bristles and she wretches uncontrollably.

“Don’t be a baby,” he sneers. Her voice is definitely deeper.

He begins upping their dose to two injections per day and the changes start to become more radical, but he refuses to let her see. He begins covering every single mirror in her house and working out there to avoid her catching a glimpse in the gym mirrors. But even if she can’t see it she can still tell. At night she feels it as she lies awake but paralyzed. Her shoulders cracking, her ribs aching, the sharp pain in her shins. During the day she starts sleeping more often while the demon moves about. It’s easier to sleep when she isn’t in pain.

One day he walks them over to a mirror and wakes her up. She hardly has time to shake the rest from her mind before he whips the cover off. She doesn’t recognize what she sees until the figure in the mirror shifts the way her hand shifts gently turning his face so that she can see. She stumbles back and the demon lets her, ceding control. She’s grown strong lean muscles that complement her broad frame, her jawline is sharp and darkened with five o’clock shadow, her short dark hair is neatly combed away from her face, framing her harsh brow and piercing eyes, her breasts are completely gone. If she saw herself on tinder she’d say she had the perfect body, but the face in the mirror makes her scream.

It’s suddenly cut off as the demon takes back control. He stands, picks up her phone, takes a new profile picture and types up a new bio.

“What do you want your new user name to be?”

“FUCK YOU!!!”

He shrugs and types something new in himself, before drafting an announcement post.

“CHANGE ME BACK RIGHT NOW!”

“I can’t do that.” He answers calmly continuing to type. “I’m not done making your body perfect yet.” He hits post. “And even if I was, I still have 6 months.”

ohhhhhhhhh ohhhhh WAITER WAITER MOOORE POSSESSION FORCEMASCCCCC dude this is the first long scenario in a WHILEE that ive been sent on here thats making me crazy. 😋😋😋 thank youu

also do you think after the reveal the demon jacks off their cock in front of the mirror as she protests internally. i think he would. :)

Today is my birthday, and for those of you who have been keeping up-to-date with my life, it's also been two years (plus six days) since I got out from the hospital. Three birthdays and two years of life I wouldn't have had without that emergency surgery.��

First a big 🤗 to all my friends and followers. I haven't been as present "on stage" as I wish I could be in the fandom or as quick to respond to messages as I'd like. I very much appreciate your patience and understanding. I will be messaging more, and I will be posting a lot ... in time.

Life Update: I restarted physical therapy earlier this year (since my Grand Canyon surgical wound finally healed), and I can finally get on the floor (and stay on it) without any issue! Now I'm working on getting off the floor (i.e. standing) without help. It's going really well, and it's like recovering another piece of myself that I lost. Lots of core work, too, and more range of motion work for my arms.

I hate all these exercises. 😂😂😂 But I do them anyway. Eye on the prize: full functionality and getting fit enough for surgery number 2 of 3.

My dad is doing great since his heart attack the day after Thanksgiving last year. He "graduated" from Cardiac Rehab and is already back to his outside runs.

T7S Fanworks Update: I'm coming up with all the book and chapter titles in Those Who Play with Demons (a gargantuan task) in preparation for writing draft two. This is one hell of a story (pun intended). Teases and fan interaction posts when I'm close to posting.

Behind the scenes, I've got that final episode of Those '70s Comics that is almost finished. Three T7S fanfics (including the aforementioned TWPWD, which is partly a multimedia project), more Jukebox Game ficlets, and just a boatload of content.

But my health takes precedence. Very frustrating not to be able to engage in the active fandom with the frequency and consistency I did in the before times, but please know I'll more than make up for that. 👀😳🤭

Many ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ to all of you!

MASTERLIST

Jake's room was dark, cold and quiet.

Jake lay on his back; arms folded over his chest like he was holding himself together. The sheets were twisted at his feet. The fan overhead spun in lazy circles. He hadn't slept more than an hour in days.

Every time he closed his eyes, the past came crawling in.

Not in full memories, not always, but in flashes. A shove. A fist. a hallway too narrow to run. The black chevy idling outside the school. A smirk that always came before the pain.

He jolted awake at the sound of nothing.

His body was a live wire. Muscles tense. Eyes wide. Breath sharp.

He wasn't seventeen, he was safe.

He was safe.

He repeated it again and again, quietly, like a prayer he didn't believe.

The sky was wide and blinding over the tarmac. Heat shimmered off the concrete like steam, rising between the hangars and waiting jets. The Daggers were halfway through a grueling two-hour flight exercise; pair formations, precision maneuvers and low-level canyon runs. All under strict time pressure.

Jake had been flying with Phoenix, Robert had been paired with Payback.

Jake had done his best to avoid even glancing at the other jet in the air. But that voice, the one in the backseat of payback's plane, calm and clipped and surgical, still crawled under his skin. The old voice. The one that used to growl threats in locker rooms and laugh after throwing him into the dirt.

He felt it every time Robert said, "Pull left, now." Every time his voice dropped to that low, commanding register. It made Jake's pulse spike, made his grip tighten on the throttle just a little too hard.

They landed smooth. debrief started immediately on the tarmac, under the shade of a canvas tent near the edge of the airstrip. Everyone was sweating and flushed, pulling off helmets, cracking jokes. Everyone except Jake, who stood just outside the group with his arms crossed, eyes fixed on the horizon.

And Robert?

Robert had his helmet under his arm, flight suit half unzipped, sleeves tied around his waist. He looked calm, neutral, but something in his stance was coiled tight. Payback was laughing about a late turn he'd missed during the canyon run.

"You almost had us kissing that cliff, man," Payback said, grinning. "I swear, I thought I heard Bob say goodbye."

Jake flinched at the sound of Bob but didn't move.

Robert didn't laugh.

"You ignored my mark," he said flatly. "You were three seconds slow on the dive. If you'd done that during an actual op, we'd be scraped across the valley floor."

The tone wasn't teasing. It was sharp. Cold.

Payback's smile faded. "It was half a second, man. We adjusted."

"No," Robert snapped, stepping closer. "You reacted. And I had to fix it. Again."

Everyone froze.

Jake's breath caught. The way Robert's body shifted, shoulders squared, voice low, the unblinking glare. It was the exact posture he'd used before every blow in high school. The warning. The countdown.

Reuban raised his hands a little. "Okay, hey. Chill. It's training, we all screw up."

Robert's jaw tightened. For a second, it looked like he might keep going, might push harder. Like something underneath his skin was begging to come loose.

Jake stepped back without realising it. Just a step, but Phoenix saw.

She turned toward him, eyebrows pinching slightly. "You good?"

Jake nodded quickly, looking away. "Yeah. Fine."

Phoenix looked between him and Robert, Robert who'd gone silent, staring hard at the ground like he was trying to choke something back.

Robert didn't look up. Didn't look at Jake. Didn't say a word. But Jake could feel the old heat rolling off him like smoke, buried but not gone.

Jake stood in front of the mirror, drying sweat off his face with a towel. His heart still hadn’t slowed all the way. Every muscle was wired tight beneath the surface.

The reflection in the mirror didn’t lie: his hands were trembling. He turned on the faucet, splashed cold water on his face, and forced himself to breathe.

He’d handled it. No one knew. He hadn’t flinched too hard. He hadn’t run. But he’d seen something in Robert’s face today—something real. Something that hadn’t changed, no matter how many years had passed.

The part that liked to control. The part that didn’t let go. The part that hit first. Jake didn’t want to find out what would happen if that version ever fully resurfaced.

And God help him if he was the one standing too close when it did.

I bet on losing dogs

sypnosis It's been more than a year since the tragedy of shinjuku december 24—the date that would've been his death anniversary had you not stolen the pieces of his body and ran off to a countryside city where no one knew of the world of jiujutsu sorcerers.

cw kinda angsty, death, gojo amnesia, post-shinjuku, bit of fluff

a/n first time writing, kinda nervous. wrote this while listening to mitski. lmk what u think!

The spring breeze was gentle and forgiving. It was afternoon and you had just remembered to tend to the crops planted outside your small cottage house. With half-lidded eyes and fingers still pulsing with cursed energy, you quickly hover the watering pot over the herbs and growing vegetables. The spray of water nimble enough to not drown but lingering just enough to quench their thirst. An exercise done with the care and patience of someone who'd been doing the same thing for a year.

You look back at the cottage as you water, hoping the man inside would be as forgiving as the breeze. You knew fully well of his intentions when he went into the fight, of his consent for his body to be used as a weapon, and of his longstanding wish to be with his best friend, his one and only. The fact that you didn't object to any of it at the time he declared them made this present situation all the worse.

Once you could tell they were watered enough, you set aside the watering can and look over the setting sun. The orange streaks on the sky a direct contrast to Satoru's ocean eyes, irises you have not seen since shinjuku. The blinding sun is akin to what once was his bright snowy hair, which was now a shade of silver, a shadow of what it used to be. All of which made you wonder if you were doing the right thing, bringing him here and healing a body no one had bothered giving a burial.

He had already died when you found his body. The tears of his students on his shirt long dried. Sukuna had been exorcised by Yuji. The site was simply a cemetery for the lives lost in the war against curses. The sight left a bad taste on your mouth and a jab to your stomach.

After healing the last of your share of patients, everyone but those on clean up duty had left, only then did you get to see tragedy of his uncollected body.

It was cold and rigid, his torso stuck to his legs held together by rushed, sloppy surgical threads and cursed relics wrapped around his waist. It felt like a punch in the gut to behold him in this sight. An expression of freight so foreign on his face as it was left by Yuta. And a damning stitch right accross his forehead, a job done with no regard for how it would look recovered. The more your eyes analyzed the reckless abandon of neglect and abuse on his body, the more your chest clenched around itself.

The final shot was one to the heart when he had passed his last exhale, a post-mortem wheezing as you cradled his body, signaling that his lungs were empty. It felt like a cry, a call for care and for help. A wheeze a sick child makes to beg his mother to cradle him. And it broke you.

You fell to your knees and held his corpse. That was when you had the irrational impulse to take his body, under the excuse of post-war trauma and turning over a new leaf— you ran away.

It's been around a year since then. You're well versed and even better in the art of using reversed curse energy techniques than you were in the war. Which was how your garden of undying crops came to be. You had the power to spring a field of flowers from unfertilized soil with a flick of the wrist, potent enough to also bring a dead man back to life.

Although Satoru's body has been recovering since, he hasn't woken up yet. While a big part of you is anxious that you fucked his body up even more by defying the laws of nature, a small part of you is relieved because you're not exactly sure what to say to him.

"Hey, I know you lowkey wanted to die on December 24 because that's Suguru's death anniversary and you wanted to share it with him, but I highkey went insane and brought you back to life hehe haha" ?? Fuck ?

"Tsk tsk" The sound of crickets knock you out of your thoughts. It's nighttime. Which means its time to bathe his body again. You went over to his room. His body laying in the last position you left him. Walking over, you reminisce to your high school years together. He really doesn't look different at night, when his scars are barely made visible by the moonlight and his hair isn't illuminated enough for its dullness to show. He just looks like the same teenage boy who would ask you to wake him up in the mornings because he couldn't wake up on time for missions by himself.

You hold him in a princess carry and walk over to his own small bathroom. It's the same style of carrying he used to ask for as a teen when you would finish a mission or training session together, claiming he was too tired to walk by himself. A younger version of him who still had hopes and dreams for a future in which he lives. Maybe he'd let you carry him again when he wakes up, and you'd do it if it meant making up for disrespecting his last wishes.

Finally, you set him down. Slowly and reverently stripping his clothes, you check for any bruised spots that might need more care in handling. You learned by experience that his comatose body bruises easily when he's left laying in one position for too long.

While filling up the tub, you talk to him. "Please don't hate me. " It's a soft mutter pressed against his hair.

"The kids have been all right. I visited them yesterday to check up on them. Nobara misses steak and sushi with you. Yuji still makes ramen the way you like it. Megumi is secretly filling a recipe notebook with Yuji's recipes. " You fondly recollect. You hesitate to tell him it reminds you of his high school years together with Shoko and Suguru, opting to keep your mouth shut instead.

"They know you're here. I told them I gave you a proper burial." You stop again. Cold icy shame creeps from your chest and squeezes your throat. So you keep him alive just to tell him the world and his loved ones think he's gone?

The tub is full and you turn off the faucet. "I'm sorry." You whisper, pursing your lips. It's hard not to feel like your decision to revive him was incredibly selfish when you're face-to-face with a body that can't rest peacefully or live without constant care.

But it's not like you can just undo your decision and kill him. That would be worsening the disrespect you've committed against his sacrifice.

So you collect your self. You start by shampooing his hair, extra careful to not tug on his scalp—especially near the stitches where his head was once split open. It makes your hands quake, wracks tremors that have you holding a breath in an attempt to focus. Then, you prop him up by the edge of the tub and lather a body scrub with a cool, fragrant soap— the expensive kind— the kind that stays and makes other people whip their heads to catch the smell again. It's the same scent that greeted and clung to you when he used to come in for check ups and medical attention after missions.

You proceed to his neck and cradle his face, tilting it to make sure you get every nook around his ears. It's a routine, he gets bathed every night, often with a gentle soap, on Mondays like today he gets scrubbed to exfoliate the dead skin.

But each time you hold his face and cradle it in one hand, the other hand on his neck, the world goes quiet. With a head full of shampoo bubbles, eyes closed, and his lips slightly apart—it just doesn't feel like he's in comatose. He looks peaceful and well-rested, and it's a damning sight to behold; like he's simply closing his eyes and savoring the feeling of being cared for. A complete contrast to how he looks before when he was constantly on guard with a literal automated wall of infinity around him.

You take your time a little longer and scrub a little slower to savor this moment. Your palm kisses the soft expanse of his cheek, a pinky lightly supporting his jaw, a thumb ghosts over his cheekbone, and the rest of your fingers carry the weight of his head. When—or if— he wakes up, he'll probably be on his guard again, if not angrier.

Thinking of his autonomy you violated and his probable reaction, you resume to a normal, faster pace again. His bath goes without a hitch and you dry him off before putting him in warm pajamas suited for the night.

He gets carried over to his bed and you tuck him in. The lights in his room are on and dim, a deliberate design that was made in consideration of his eyes for when—if— he wakes up. Even without six eyes, his poor eyes would probably hurt and have a hard time adjusting to light again after being shut for almost a whole year. So his room is thoughtfully set with thick curtains and dim lights that softly glow to illuminate all corners of the room. Finally, you shut the door and bid him goodnight.

Chapter 1: The Journey Begins—Understanding Conception in Expectant Fathers

Introduction

Embarking on the journey to parenthood is an exciting and transformative experience. For expectant fathers, understanding the intricacies of conception is the first step towards a healthy and fulfilling pregnancy. This chapter delves into the biological processes of male fertility, the various methods of conception—including natural intercourse, artificial insemination, and in vitro fertilization (IVF)—and the significance of the monthly heat cycle when ovulation occurs.

The Male Reproductive System: An Overview

Anatomy and Physiology

Understanding your body is essential for maximizing fertility and achieving conception.

Testes: Produce sperm and the hormone testosterone.

Ovaries (Male Ovaries): Specialized organs that release eggs (ova) during the heat cycle.

Heat Cycle: A monthly period of increased fertility when ovulation occurs.

Uterus (Male Uterus): The organ where a fertilized egg implants and develops into a fetus.

Anal Canal: Serves as the birth canal during delivery.

Hormonal Regulation

Testosterone: Influences sperm production and libido.

Estrogen and Progesterone: Regulate the heat cycle and prepare the uterus for pregnancy.

Luteinizing Hormone (LH) and Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH): Control the release of eggs during ovulation.

The Heat Cycle: Timing is Everything

Understanding Ovulation

The heat cycle is a critical window for conception.

Duration: Typically lasts 5-7 days each month.

Ovulation: Occurs mid-cycle, releasing a mature egg ready for fertilization.

Signs of Heat:

Increased body temperature.

Heightened libido.

Mild abdominal discomfort.

Clear cervical mucus discharge.

Tracking Your Cycle

Calendar Method: Mark the start and end of each heat cycle to predict ovulation.

Basal Body Temperature: Measure daily temperature to detect the slight rise during ovulation.

Ovulation Predictor Kits: Detect LH surge indicating imminent ovulation.

Monitoring Symptoms: Be attentive to physical and emotional changes.

Natural Conception: The Traditional Path

Sexual Intercourse During Heat

Engaging in sexual activity during your heat cycle increases the likelihood of conception.

Optimal Timing: 1-2 days before and after ovulation.

Frequency: Regular intercourse every other day during the fertile window.

Positions for Conception:

Positions that allow deep penetration may facilitate sperm reaching the egg.

Remain lying down for 15-20 minutes post-intercourse to aid sperm travel.

Factors Affecting Fertility

Lifestyle Choices:

Nutrition: A balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals supports reproductive health.

Exercise: Regular physical activity promotes hormonal balance but avoid excessive training.

Substance Use: Limit alcohol and avoid smoking or recreational drugs.

Health Conditions:

Hormonal Imbalances: Can affect ovulation and sperm quality.

Chronic Illnesses: Conditions like diabetes or thyroid disorders may impact fertility.

Medications: Certain prescriptions can interfere with reproductive function.

Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART)

When natural conception is challenging, assisted methods offer alternative pathways to parenthood.

Artificial Insemination (AI)

Overview: Sperm is collected and directly inserted into the reproductive tract during ovulation.

Types:

Intrauterine Insemination (IUI): Sperm placed directly into the uterus.

Intracervical Insemination (ICI): Sperm deposited near the cervical opening.

Procedure:

Performed in a clinical setting by a healthcare professional.

Sperm can be from a partner or a donor.

Success Rates: Vary based on age, fertility issues, and sperm quality.

In Vitro Fertilization (IVF)

Overview: Eggs and sperm are combined outside the body, and the resulting embryo is implanted into the uterus.

Procedure:

Ovarian Stimulation: Medications stimulate multiple eggs to mature.

Egg Retrieval: Eggs are collected using a minor surgical procedure.

Fertilization: Eggs are combined with sperm in a lab.

Embryo Transfer: One or more embryos are placed into the uterus.

Considerations:

Time Commitment: IVF requires multiple clinic visits and procedures.

Emotional Impact: The process can be emotionally taxing; support is essential.

Cost: IVF can be expensive; explore insurance coverage and financing options.

Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI)

Overview: A single sperm is injected directly into an egg during IVF.

Indications: Used when there are sperm quality or quantity issues.

Procedure: Similar to IVF with the additional step of sperm injection.

Preparing for Conception

Preconception Health Check

Medical Evaluation:

Visit a healthcare provider for a comprehensive health assessment.

Discuss medical history, medications, and any chronic conditions.

Fertility Testing:

Semen Analysis: Evaluates sperm count, motility, and morphology.

Hormonal Tests: Measures levels of testosterone, FSH, LH, estrogen, and progesterone.

Ultrasound Examination: Assesses the reproductive organs for any abnormalities.

Lifestyle Modifications

Nutrition:

Increase intake of folic acid, zinc, selenium, and antioxidants.

Consume plenty of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins.

Exercise:

Engage in moderate physical activity to maintain a healthy weight.

Stress Management:

Practice relaxation techniques like yoga, meditation, or deep-breathing exercises.

Avoid Environmental Toxins:

Limit exposure to pesticides, heavy metals, and endocrine-disrupting chemicals.

Supplements and Vitamins

Prenatal Vitamins:

Start taking prenatal vitamins at least three months before attempting conception.

Omega-3 Fatty Acids:

Support hormonal balance and fetal development.

Consult a Healthcare Provider:

Before starting any supplement regimen.

Emotional and Psychological Preparation

Communication with Your Partner

Shared Goals:

Discuss family planning desires and expectations.

Emotional Support:

Be open about feelings, fears, and hopes.

Intimacy:

Maintain a strong emotional and physical connection.

Coping with Challenges

Infertility Concerns:

Acknowledge that conception may take time.

Seek professional counseling if needed.

Managing Expectations:

Understand that each journey to parenthood is unique.

Building a Support Network

Family and Friends:

Share your plans with trusted individuals.

Support Groups:

Join communities of other expectant fathers or couples trying to conceive.

Professional Guidance:

Consult fertility specialists, counselors, and reproductive endocrinologists.

Conclusion

Understanding the process of making a baby empowers expectant fathers to take proactive steps towards achieving pregnancy. Whether through natural conception during the heat cycle or utilizing assisted reproductive technologies, being informed about your options and preparing both physically and emotionally are crucial components of this journey. Remember, patience and persistence are key, and seeking support along the way can make the experience more rewarding and less daunting.

Key Takeaways

ARTMS Profiles

Subject Name: Choerry

Acquisition: MODHAUS disbanded ARTMS in response to the announcement of Loossemble's final sale values. Subject did not object to nor resist capture.

Containment: Subject has been presented with extremely simple and complex escape options on many occasions, and has not expressed interest in escape. Subject has, however, wandered out of unlocked containment for seemingly no logical reason, but no attempt at escape was ever truly attempted, and even approaching undisguised personnel. If anything, simple locks are recommended for subject's own safety.

Features: Exceptionally pleasant demeanor, uncommonly accepting nature, noted exhibitionist tendencies.

Modifications: Standard preservative modifications made post-acquisition, mild bulking, very mild breast and glute augmentation, no designer (see comments).

Specialties: Seemingly endless knowledge of kink and fetish play

Designer Comments: Subject is a model slave, and eager to please. On some rare occasions, she may express defiance, but this has always been either a joke, or as a result of some minor discomfort, which, simple remedies for which bring her back to full obedience. Subject derives great joy from displaying herself in a sexual manner and sexual performances, and she encourages others to do the same. Current cosmetic modifications are only the most reasonable of her own personal requests up to this point (she wanted additional breast and glute augmentation, but it is our policy to retain the approximate size that our slaves were well known for). Subject has made a variety of unusual modification requests which have been denied, some of which include a fur covered tail, butterfly wings, the ability to produce honey, additional sets of breasts, x-ray vision, and “octopus hair,” which she insisted had nothing to do with tentacles. Oddities and sexual prowess aside, I would happily recommend the subject to anybody who would like a little amusement in their life.

☆☆☆

Subject Name: Heejin

Acquisition: MODHAUS disbanded ARTMS in response to the announcement of Loossemble's final sale values. Subject presented numerous challenges to acquisition. An addendum will be provided once related paperwork has been finished.

Containment: Subject requires intensive containment procedures, ideally with automated backup systems. Personnel interactions with subject should be minimal, and full automation of containment is highly recommended. Subject should not be allowed outside of containment. Buyer's interactions with subject should also be limited, monitored by trusted personnel, and subject should be heavily restrained.

Features: Uncommonly muscular physique, devious demeanor

Modifications: Standard preservative modifications made post-acquisition, bulking to counteract muscular atrophy related to containment, jaw locking mechanism, remote tracker

Specialties: Partner manipulation (caution), irrumatio

Designer Comments: Subject should only be purchased by buyers who are looking for an “unbreakable” slave, and who are well-prepared for the challenge. Subject made weekly (with varying frequency) attempts at escape, using a surprising array of skills to do so, and several full recaptures were necessary. Subject is unusually strong for a former idol, capable of psychological analysis even under duress, and quick to learn skills which may contribute to novel escape attempts. She was once fitted with a subdermal tranquilizer delivery system, but managed to remove it with improvised surgical tools and proceeded to cause irreparable injury to the personnel assigned to her training. The next day I commissioned her jaw locking mechanism, which has been the only personal device which she has yet to be able to remove or damage to uselessness. Though her wit is quite entertaining in short bursts, I strongly recommend not allowing the subject to converse or even speak for more than a few minutes at a time. Please exercise great caution if considering this purchase.

☆☆☆

Subject Name: Haseul

Acquisition: MODHAUS disbanded ARTMS in response to the announcement of Loossemble's final sale values. Subject expressed some mild sorrow, but willingly complied with all personnel commands without further complaint.

Containment: No special containment procedures necessary. It is recommended to treat subject quite well to take advantage of her unique capabilities.

Features: Calm demeanor, uncommonly wide hips

Modifications: Standard preservative modifications made post-acquisition, very mild breast augmentation, enhanced lactation

Specialties: Gentle, intercrural

Designer Comments: Subject has been a delight for the entire duration of her captivity. Though our protocol is to separate former idols from their groups, I was tempted to put her into classes with her former group-mates to act as a calming influence. It is quite rare for any subject, including those who have clearly accepted their fates, to participate in the pacification of their fellow slaves. This subject is the exception to that rule, and has kindly offered guidance to fellow slaves, and intelligence to personnel. While subject is indeed an ideal slave on her own, I strongly recommend her to buyers who have, or are considering, other unruly slaves and wish for them to be made more passive. Subject's social proclivities are very well-suited to fixing such behavioral issues.

☆☆☆

Subject Name: Kim Lip

Acquisition: MODHAUS disbanded ARTMS in response to the announcement of Loossemble's final sale values. Subject made some poor attempts at escape, but they were stopped with little effort.

Containment: Subject sporadically attempts to escape containment, but has not shown great capability while doing so. Electrified barriers have proven to be the most efficient deterrent, but simple locks should suffice if such facilities are not yet prepared.

Features: Mildly exotic appearance, quick recovery from wounds

Modifications: Standard preservative modifications made post-acquisition, very mild breast augmentation, no designer

Specialties: Masochism, orgasm denial

Designer Comments: Subject seems to be especially suited for our subselection of pain sluts. She responds quite well to spanking, whipping, flogging, caning, slapping, clamps, and pinching. Specifically, the subject acts as expected when exposed to painful stimuli such as those listed above (begging, crying, etc), but will invariably achieve orgasm within ten to twenty minutes of continuous exposure. Subject also has a rapid recovery time as noted in features, with heavy bruising tending to heal completely in two to three days and minor cuts in four to six, though she is prone to scarring. Subject is fairly quick to orgasm in sexual encounters too, and it was while testing this we discovered she becomes particularly upset when not allowed to achieve orgasm. By alternating between pleasure and pain, the subject can be kept on the brink of climax for extremely long periods of time with little to no need to wait between cool down periods, all of which feeds into her frustration.

☆☆☆

Subject Name: Jinsoul

Acquisition: MODHAUS disbanded ARTMS in response to the announcement of Loossemble's final sale values. Subject was difficult to apprehend, and caused major injury to three personnel whose medical fees are rolled into subject's starting sale price.

Containment: Subject no longer requires any containment procedures for safety or to reduce chance of escape. Depending on personal preference, simple locks may be useful for preventing unexpected advances. Alternatively, sex toys or other slaves may be provided to the subject for the same reason, though these should not be provided for more than a few hours at a time for the subject's bodily integrity.

Features: Uncommonly curvaceous silhouette, classically ideal figure, large mouth

Modifications: Standard preservative modifications made post-acquisition, mild breast augmentation to balance with hip size, pleasure sensitivity enhancement, plasticity increase.

Specialties: Overstimulation, self-humiliation

Designer Comments: Subject was violently resistant to slavery during early post-acquisition and had to be restrained at all times for the safety of personnel.  Introductory evaluation sessions yielded a hint that the subject had high potential for susceptibility to submission to sexual pleasure, even without the aid of aphrodisiacs. I was particularly proud to document the first instance of the subject requesting “more.” Unfortunately, violent outbursts were still intermittent and time was running short, so we did resort to artificial sexual stimulants, shortly thereafter replaced by general pleasure sensitivity increase modification. At time of writing, the subject has not given a single indication of desire to escape or violent thought in fifty-five days. fMRI and EEG neuroimaging scans show that stimuli which once triggered the subject's violent behavior now trigger uncontrollable sexual desire. During these periods, subject will attempt to pleasure herself even in the most inappropriate situations. If prevented from doing so, threatened with harm, or if any sort of authority figure is nearby, she will instead attempt to initiate sexual activity and will debase herself viciously to do so.

☆☆☆

Additional Designer Comments: The base prices of these former members of ARTMS are being reduced to 50% of what we normally sell our slaves for. The owner of MODHAUS entertainment reached out to us after we sold the former members of Loossemble. He seemed far more eager to sell ARTMS to us than any normal seller, and made a variety of comments about how much rich he would be after their sales were finalized. He unfortunately passed away during the negotiation process, and we are therefore selling these five at a steep discount to pass on our savings to you, our beloved clients. We hope that this outcome reminds our clients that, although we are not in the business of negotiating the absolute best prices all the time, we care deeply for you.
