Don’t think many people know this quote so I’m putting the reference below 👇

light apothecary diaries spoilers but i hate how the writers walked back on jinshi's eunuch-ness. they took that from me and for what? to assure the girlies at home that the pretty boy can hypothetically have normative sex? the impotence inducing drugs aren't enough for me i need to castrate that man

If you want to learn more about the history of cancer and it's treatment read the book "The Emperor of All Maladies" by Siddhartha Mukherjee. Totally changed my life and a really interesting read!!

I have been thinking a lot about what a cancer diagnosis used to mean. How in the ‘80s and ‘90s, when someone was diagnosed, my parents would gently prepare me for their death. That chemo and radiation and surgery just bought time, and over the age of fifty people would sometimes just. Skip it. For cost reasons, and for quality of life reasons. My grandmother was diagnosed in her early seventies and went directly into hospice for just under a year — palliative care only. And often, after diagnosis people and their families would go away — they’d cash out retirement or sell the house and go live on a beach for six months. Or they’d pay a charlatan all their savings to buy hope. People would get diagnosed, get very sick, leave, and then we’d hear that they died.

And then, at some point, the people who left started coming back.

It was the children first. The March of Dimes and Saint Jude set up programs and my town would do spaghetti fundraisers and raffles and meal trains to support the family and send the child and one parent to a hospital in the city — and the children came home. Their hair grew back. They went back to school. We were all trained to think of them as the angelic lost and they were turning into asshole teens right in front of our eyes. What a miracle, what a gift, how lucky we are that the odds for several children are in our favor!

Adults started leaving for a specific program to treat their specific cancer at a specific hospital or a specific research group. They’d stay in that city for 6-12 months and then they’d come home. We fully expected that they were still dying — or they’d gotten one of the good cancers. What a gift this year is for them, we’d think. How lucky they are to be strong enough to ski and swim and run. And then they didn’t stop — two decades later they haven’t stopped. Not all of them, but most of them.

We bought those extra hours and months and years. We paid for time with our taxes. Scientists found ways for treatment to be less terrible, less poisonous, and a thousand times more effective.

And now, when a friend was diagnosed, the five year survival odds were 95%. My friend is alive, nearly five years later. Those kids who miraculously survived are alive. The adults who beat the odds are still alive. I grew up in a place small enough that you can see the losses. And now, the hospital in my tiny hometown can effectively treat many cancers. Most people don’t have to go away for treatment. They said we could never cure cancer, as it were, but we can cure a lot of cancers. We can diagnose a lot of cancers early enough to treat them with minor interventions. We can prevent a lot of cancers.

We could keep doing that. We could continue to fund research into other heartbreaks — into Long Covid and MCAS and psych meds with fewer side effects and dementia treatments. We could buy months and years, alleviate the suffering of our neighbors. That is what funding health research buys: time and ease.

Anyway, I’m preaching to the choir here. But it is a quiet miracle what’s happened in my lifetime.

When big stars die they explode into Supernovas and sometimes turn into Black holes afterwards.

I was thinking of Naruto and Obito being suns but Obito is a dead star and how his story reflects a star's life and how Kamui is like a black hole so I made this :>

Like Naruto and Sasuke are the sun and moon, Obito and Kakashi are a dead star and a brightless moon.

Obito is my second favourite character and it pains me how mischaracterized he is, his story and mentality is so interesting like how he chooses to live under the lie that the world is fake to cope with the pain but how he still doesn't want to kill Kakashi. I love him so much.

On a side note this artstyle looks so cool but it's a lot of work. Here's a different version of the Supernova one:

consider: the deidara-tobi team is actually the least productive of any team. missions go completely off the rails immediately and are barely fixed by the end. there's like a 20% chance deidara simply decides he doesn't want to and does something else. but. b u t

tobi is secretly the akatsuki boss. there is no one to reel this in. deidara gets to explode 500% more things for no reason and never thinks to question why. there's no pushback when he gets mouthy or disrespectful. someone dares to ask "why does deidara get away with so much shit?" and then the camera pans over to Tobi twirling his hair and watching Deidara scream back at pein
