GL Series/Web Series Resource
I made this to cut back on messages asking for links.
It's common knowledge by now that I'm not timely in answering messages. I know how frustrating it can be when you want to start a show immediately but don't know where to look, and the person you asked has been MIA for days. So I thought, why not go back to my roots and make a list? For the brand of it all.
The list isn't exhaustive. It's just a few I've personally seen. I'll update when a new show comes along. If you see one of your favorites missing, just let me know and I'll add it.
*Regarding the shows on Youtube: The majority of the links go directly to the creator's page. However, some of the creators don't make it easy to locate all the episodes in one easy-to-binge place, so I've linked a few to a youtube playlist I keep updated.
I highly recommend subbing to the creators' channels to stay on top of future updates and to show them how much you appreciate what they're doing for us.

Lee Heeseung x male reader
Genre ─angst, fluff
Reader uses he/him.
Tw : mentions of beating, Heeseung involved in gang, mentions of bullying, kissing, mentions of hitting and cutting, name calling (sissy boy), some blood will be mentioned.
Tumblr media
"Hey, you guys wanna come over to my house tonight?" M/n asked, his eyes scanning over Sunoo and jay, "Yeah, maybe we should have a movie night and watch drama's and I even found this one-"
"Okay okay sunoo we get your obsession with dramas. I just hope you don't bring that mint chocolate ice cream like last time." Jay replied, looking the other boy up and down.
"How about you, m/n?" Sunoo asked, m/n tapped his chin and nodded his head. "Yeah, we should watch dramas, and this time I bring the snacks!" M/n replied to the two. The three boys continue walking until they bump into someone
"Oh gosh.." Jay groaned. He looked away from the people in front of them. "Heeseung, what are you even doing here?" Jay asked, his jaw clenching and his veins popping. "Look who it is, and I see you brought your little sissy boy's again?" Heeseung replied.
M/n looked him up in down in disgust, "Heeseung, please shut up before I clock you in your mouth.." "It's not like you're gonna do anything m/n, after all, you still didn't learn from that last beating." Heeseung said, pointing at the three boys with a grin on his face.
"You guys know what to do." Heeseung said, the four other boys behind him walk out, and they grab m/n and the other two. "You can't be doing this to us, Heeseung!" Jay shouted, trying to fight off away from the boy's tight grips. "What did I even do!?" Sunoo exclaimed. He kicks and squirms so the grip on his arms and legs can go loose.
Heeseung smirked as he cracked his knuckles, and his jaw clenched, "I'm just teaching you guys a lesson since you don't know how to learn." With a swift move, a punch could be seen going across m/n's face. Sunoo looked in shock, and he started panicking, Jay on the other side squirms around trying to fight off the men.
"F-fuck, what was that for..!!" M/n groaned in anger as blood dripped from out of his nose, in the alleyway Heeseung's pitiful words being spat at the three boy's could be heard.
"Guess there's one last detail to add." Heeseung smirked, he pulled out his pocket knife, and he lifted up m/n pants. "Now, where should I carve it?" He tapped his chin, then his eyes landed on M/n's thigh, Heeseung looked back up with a smirk and the pocket knife aims towards m/n's thigh.
"Don't do it..!!!" Sunoo shouted, Jay only sat and watched in shock and anger. "N-no.." Jay mumbled, he looked up at m/n and he spots the tears escaping from his eyes.
The loud screams of pain and agony filled the alleyway, Heeseung stepped back and started to admire his work. "You mind reading to me what that says m/n?" He asked, m/n sulked, and his lips quivered. "Y-you belong to me, from L-lee Heeseung.." he replied, more tears could be seen rolling down his face.
"Good..and let's keep it that way." Heeseung crouched in front of m/n, grabbing his chin and forcing him to look up at him. Heeseung then leaned in and planted his lips onto m/n's before pulling away with a chuckle.
"Don't tell anyone about this at all, or the next beating will be even worse." Heeseung pushed the boy back. He turned to Jay and sunoo before grinning, "Let these three go, I'll spare them for now." Heeseung said, making the four men drop sunoo Jay and m/n.
"Go on, shoo?" Heeseung said. The three boys took the opportunity to run home, and Heeseung stood there before waving. "Remember my words m/n, you belong to me."
Tumblr media
A/n : That's really it. It was gonna be short, but I had to make it long for you guys. I hope you enjoyed it!

Gotham City Surgeon
As the head surgeon in Gotham General's Emergency Department my life is hell. the mysterious Batman and his side kicks are partially to blame, I've decided to take up investigating the elusive Batman so I can be better prepared the next time he drops into my ER. I have more than 700 pieces of documentation that I am determined to study.
I will be documenting my findings here and perhaps I might even make a Documentary. Believe me I will know more about the Batman and who he is than anyone else in Gotham does. Maybe even more than him...
I am Genuinely going to do this but I do first need to figure out how I'm going to go about it and also if anyone is interested in reading about my findings.
I have the Golden Age comics in my "documents" but I'm not sure if I want to add that in later. regardless I'll be doing year one possibly year two and the Man Who Laughs first. I'll probably be having a small paragraph as The Surgeon who is researching at the top and bottom of the post and have a little story and then have review, summary and analysis.
IDK let me know if anyone is interested or has any advice.

NUMBER ONE ROYOSHI posted on September 18th, 2024 ( TRANSCRIPT ) this is part two of my reyes guide :) part two will be split up into two parts, part one ( this part ) being his dynacmis with kun, ten, and winwin!
part 2.0 / 3 of the guide posted by youtube user number one royoshi; this part focuses on his dynamics and bonds between him and the other members of wayv, first up the hyung/ge line!
Tumblr media
INTRODUCTION
hi fellow reyes fans! or soon-to-be reyes fans, or whatever! welcome to part two of my reyes guide. in the last video, we got to know him a bit, but in this one, i'll be diving into his relationships with the older members in this part and the younger members in the second part. i'll also include some fan-favorite moments or like common moments between each duo!
anyways! let's get started!
Tumblr media
KUN x REYES ; FATHER & SON #1
one of my personal favorite duos in the group is actually kun and reyes, mainly because they’re so cute whenever they interact. they always have the most positive things to say about each other, and i swear there’s a clip of reyes somewhere online going on a full-blown rant about how cool and amazing kun is. check twitter or something.
something that makes their bond even cuter is kun has said on several occasions that reyes is his little leader ( to which reyes protests in the background that he’s taller than kun, which is true, but reyes, let the man breathe — he's complimenting you! ). since debut, kun himself has dubbed reyes the "little" leader or "baby" leader.
now for their first impressions of each other. i’ll include clips so you don’t have to listen to me ramble:
FIRST IMPRESSIONS
reyes "when i first met kun, i was still new to sm. like, i had only started a few days before, but he welcomed me. he was like my rock during my trainee days because every time i seemed overwhelmed, he just knew without me saying anything. he’s a very reliable person, you know? someone you can always go to when you have problems. he introduced me to the other trainees and pretty much took me under his wing, so for that, i’m very grateful for him."
kun "reyes was young when i met him, around the age of a few of the other trainees at the time, but he reminded me of a baby turtle because he was afraid to come out of his shell. i always saw him away from everyone; he never tried to interact with us when he first started, and he seemed nervous. so one day, i decided to approach him. he was soft-spoken like i imagined he would be, but he seemed eager to be included. i think he was just nervous to start a conversation with anyone. i wanted him to feel comfortable around the other trainees, so whenever he wanted, i’d help introduce him to the others. slowly, he started coming out of his shell. it was fun to watch him become more cheerful and happy, especially when interacting with others."
they're so cute! what if i find a cliff and parachute off of it and fall to the bottom? anyway, past my dramatics, i'm not sure what to add now, so i'll go into my favorite moments of theirs because i am definitely their biggest fan.
MOMENTS
reyes is always teasing kun and making fun of him over the simplest things. he follows after ten and usually targets kun's age since that’s the only hit he can take. he’s always calling kun "old man" or "grandpa" — whatever he can come up with that day. one time, he even pulled out "ancient artifact," and i've never seen kun turn his head faster.
kun is one of reyes' mandarin teachers, for sure. of course, he picks fun at reyes' simple mistakes but often corrects him too. reyes said that at one point, kun would make him flashcards, and he’d have to sit in the dorm at night practicing his pronunciation and writing while kun helped him.
reyes also shared that when they first met and kun learned reyes could speak spanish, kun tried to learn from him but eventually gave up because reyes would just tease him instead.
kun is one of the members who indulges reyes' need for physical affection the most; he’s always patting his head or holding his hands.
Tumblr media
TEN x REYES ; FATHER & SON #2
you all are probably going to hate me by the end of this video because i'm going to say every duo is one of my favorite duos, but i truly mean it, i swear! ten and reyes are probably my #1 wayv duo, they’re just very very cute to me.
it’s not new to most wayv fans, but if you're just getting into the group, ten has three cats: louis, leon, and levi. and well, according to him, he has another cat named reyes. it’s really funny to me because ten never shies away from treating reyes practically like a cat, and he often compares reyes to his cats too. what makes it even better is that reyes also has a cat, so reyes and ten have said on several occasions that they have cat playdates, and all their cats get along really well. ( ten has posted several videos of reyes playing with all four cats, throwing around their toys and everything—it’s very cute. )
now, you may be wondering why i titled their duo practically the same as kun and reyes’ duo, but that’s because reyes has two parents, kun and ten! like, he’s really their child, guys. i don’t lie. ten is someone reyes always brings up—he usually mentions all his members, but it’s always ten first, and it’s always followed by a long list of compliments. he’s said several times that he really admires ten, not only as an idol but as a person too, and that he hopes to be like ten when he’s older ( again, acting like ten is 10+ years older than him—it’s insane. don’t be even a day older than him, i swear, he won’t let you live that down ).
onto their first impressions!
FIRST IMPRESSIONS
reyes "i remember being practically star-struck when i first saw ten, he's just so... he's someone who catches your eye, and then you almost admire him for a moment, even when he was a trainee. around the time i became a trainee, it was a few months before nct made their debut, like the 7th sense unit did, and i never really interacted with ten much because he was busy preparing, but whenever we did have small interactions, even if it was only a simple greeting or we actually had conversations, he was someone i really wanted to get closer to. so going from that to then debuting in a unit with him, i want to say i won." ten "i saw reyes from time to time, he became a trainee, i think, around the time we were working on debut, so i was rather busy and didn’t always have time to talk or even greet him sometimes, but i know he had this almost awkward nervousness to him any time we did talk, and i found it very endearing, almost? he has grown a lot since we first met as trainees, and i feel like a proud parent watching him grow up through the years."
ten saying he felt like a proud parent watching reyes... i just crumpled to the floor and never got back up. so sad. now onto some of my favorite moments of theirs!
MOMENTS
they’ve both mentioned before that they helped each other out with mandarin more pre-debut. they both knew enough to assist each other, so they would have study times together, where all they did was either take classes or make the other members help them study ( usually kun was their victim teacher ).
reyes teasing ten over his age after helping ten tease kun over his age. reyes is basically ten's mini-me and will follow practically anything ten does, including teasing the other members, then acting innocent by throwing ten under the bus, because why not!
ten is the member reyes is always clinging to the most, no matter what, but especially at the airport. it’s not uncommon knowledge that reyes doesn’t like airports, especially when they’re crowded by fans and he can barely move freely. so, the other members—mostly ten—will stick by his side, keeping an arm around him or holding his hand and guiding him so he can keep his head down and music blasting, forcing fans away if they get too close for comfort.
being the neatest members within the group, they’ve both spent sleepless nights cleaning up the dorms from top to bottom, hopefully disturbing the other members enough to get them to clean for themselves, but if not, they would just continue. reyes said he used to check if ten was awake, and if he wasn’t sleeping, they’d get started on cleaning the dorms, taking as long as they needed.
Tumblr media
WINWIN x REYES ; CALM OLDER BROTHER & HYPER YOUNGER BROTHER
the stark contrast between reyes and winwin’s personalities always surprises me. on one hand, you have someone who prefers to stay in the background, quiet and calm a majority of the time, while on the other, you’ve got someone who thrives on creating chaos and interrupting everyone's rare moments of peace the second a light bulb turns on in his head.
you know how people say every introvert needs their extrovert? well, that’s winwin and reyes, for sure. you wouldn’t think they’d mesh well because of how different their personalities are, but both have said that’s exactly what helps them get along so well.
reyes is known for being hyper and always excited, but even he has moments when he needs to take a step back and catch his breath. winwin, from what i’ve seen, is always able to provide that space for reyes to recharge, which is why their dynamic stands out to a lot of weishennies—but that’s just my take.
FIRST IMPRESSIONS
reyes "actually, it may seem odd, but i had always seen winwin before debut and never really held a conversation with him. this may sound very bad, and there's a strong chance i’ll get made fun of for it, but i found him intimidating. i'm not sure why, but i was just like, 'oh, he's kinda scary' almost, you know? but closer to the wayv debut, we actually started interacting because we needed to get to know each other, of course, and he was actually completely different from what i imagined him as." winwin "i had this thought that he hated me, in all seriousness. i saw him looking at me a few times here and there, and it just didn’t seem like he was too fond of me—not that he needed to be or anything. but then a few months later, we finally talked, and i remember him going on a nervous rant about how he was afraid of me, and then we just had a really long conversation about the obvious misconceptions we had about each other. it was fun, actually."
MOMENTS
now, don’t let winwin’s laid-back personality fool you, or the fact that reyes is a constant ball of sunshine with no end in sight, because they could easily switch personalities one day and be the total opposite of their usual selves. in fact, they’ve done just that before to trick fans, which i find pretty hilarious because we were all completely lost during that entire episode.
they're also the tallest in the group, shout out to them for making wayv's average height taller one inch at a time—or whatever you measure height in, i'm not sure. but anyways, very tall boys, of course, and yes, they do bring that up any chance they get, often standing next to each other in photos just to make the point clear.
winwin and reyes are another pair where they don’t have to speak to know what’s going on with each other. it’s been seen in content a lot—sometimes they’ll just sit together in silence during recordings or whatever’s happening, as if they have a mutual understanding of needing a break. plus, there are endless clips of them sitting apart across the room, but the second they meet each other’s eyes, they burst into fits of laughter for who knows what reason.
when reyes is in his more hyper mode, bouncing around and unable to sit still, winwin just watches him for a few moments, almost like he's analyzing him. it’s really nerve-wracking at first as a viewer and fan ( trust me, there are so many compilations of this on youtube ) — but then, winwin eventually smiles at him, like it finally clicks what reyes is doing. it’s a really funny, recurring moment between them that always makes me laugh.
Tumblr media
note i was going to do all of them in one post but that would've been a bit too long i think? but here is kun, ten, and winwin ofc <3 the first impressions are bit... ?? to me idk, i tried with each of them and sorry if any of the moments are repetitive, i was trying not to be. part 3 of the guide is going to be his solo stuff & maybe i'll write part one eventually but it's like those "unserious guide to _" that u can find on youtube!

can you imagine how much power i'd have if i made the "little jensen in a trench coat" discovery ten years earlier? just dropping this on the dash in 2013? that's baby misha and baby jensen in cas cosplay. i would've been unstoppable.

Mem., get recipe for Mina: a food guide to Dracula Daily
Inspired by There and Snack Again (in which you eat along with the LOTR movies), this is your guide to eating and drinking along with Dracula Daily.
All under a cut because there's no way I can do this without extensive spoilers. I strongly recommend not reading this unless you already know what happens in Dracula. Also only if you're comfortable reading about alcoholic drinks - there's a lot of booze in this novel.
Let's eat!
2 May We start with the famous paprika hendl. Google "chicken paprikash" and choose whichever recipe most strikes your fancy.
Tumblr media
3 May For breakfast, choose from mamaliga (cornmeal porridge, similar to grits), "impletata" (vânătă umplută - stuffed aubergine) or anything with more paprika in it.
4 May For dinner, Jonathan has robber steak: "bits of bacon, onion, and beef, seasoned with red pepper, and strung on sticks and roasted over the fire".
5 May Slivovitz, if you'd like it (Jonathan declines). Then, for dinner, Dracula serves up roast chicken, with some cheese, a salad and a glass or two of Tokaji wine.
6 May "A cold breakfast" for Jonathan. In Romania a cold breakfast might include boiled eggs, telemea (sheep's cheese), franzela (bread) with assorted spreads, sliced cucumber and tomatoes, and sunculita taraneasca (sliced smoked pork). Jonathan also has "an excellent supper", but doesn't tell us what that includes.
16 May Would it be too bleak if I suggested eating a symbolic Jelly Baby?
Tumblr media
26 May A glass of wine as Quincey and Jack congratulate Arthur and drown their sorrows.
18 June There's a kind of Scottish fruit slice called "flies' graveyard". That might make a suitable snack given Renfield's meal today.
24 June I guess a gingerbread woman, for the wolves? IDK, it turns out doing this for a horror novel is a bit grim.
8 July Thankfully the internet has hundreds of ideas for spider-themed cakes so you can eat along with Renfield.
18 July The voyage of the Demeter begins! Celebrate by eating like a sailor: have some salt pork, or make ship's biscuit.
20 July Renfield has just eaten several sparrows. Provide redress by feeding birds near you, bird flu guidance permitting.
Tumblr media
24 July Imitate the "feet-folk" from York and Leeds by drinking some tea or eating some cured herring.
10 August Lucy and Mina enjoy a "severe tea". There are lots of severe teas in Victorian literature, but few writers actually describe what's in it - e.g. the Churchman's shilling magazine, 1868, has a story with a severe tea "which implies coffee, tea, and muffins, with substantials". What are substantials? I have no idea, but that's what you should eat today.
11 August Dracula has a little nibble on Lucy. I don't suggest doing this for every vampire bite in the novel, but given this one is particularly significant, how about marking the occasion with some black pudding?
30 August No food details for a while, but in this entry, Lucy notes that she "has an appetite like a cormorant" and "Arthur says I am getting fat". Celebrate with some cake.
3 September Van Helsing has been! And surely he wouldn't have come all the way from the Netherlands empty-handed? Acknowledge his visit with some gouda or a stroopwafel.
4 September Eat some sugar, which Renfield has requested for his flies.
7 September To stay in line with what the characters actually eat and drink, have a glass of port (though ideally not if you've just given blood). But for the real spirit of the day, consider a corn-on-the-cob.
Tumblr media
9 September Free space! Jack has "an excellent meal" but doesn't say what it is. Dig into your favourite dinner.
10 September A sip of brandy, with which Van Helsing wets Lucy's lips.
11 September The garlic flowers arrive. There's lots that you can make with wild garlic - personally, I like it in risotto.
Tumblr media
17 September A boxful of garlic flowers arrive for Lucy every day. Time to make chicken with 40 cloves of garlic. Other options for today include more black pudding (in honour of Renfield lapping up Jack's blood) or sherry.
18 September The Zookeeper enjoys a teacake, and so shall we.
20 September No food, but the labourers have "a stiff glass of grog". This is rum diluted with water, but you could also add lemon or lime juice, sugar, and/or cinnamon.
25 September Nibble another Jelly Baby for the Bloofer Lady.
29 September A lot happens in this entry, but there's not a lot of food. There are thirsty labourers, however. Maybe have a beer?
Tumblr media
30 September Mina makes everyone a pot of tea. Also, we don't know what they have for dinner, but they eat it at 7pm, if you'd like to time your evening meal accordingly.
1 October More tea! Since this is being gulped down by a working man, make it builder's style - strong, sweet, lots of milk.
2 October Jonathan visits the Aërated Bread Company. He only has a cup of tea, but you could have whatever you like best from their menu:
Tumblr media
(source)
3 October Dracula forces Mina to drink his blood like "a child forcing a kitten's nose into a saucer of milk". You could either have some more black pudding, or drink a glass of milk in solidarity with Mina.
15 October The Crew of Light aren't focusing much on meals any more, but they have travelled on the Orient Express. Here's the 1887 dining car menu.
Tumblr media
(source - I can't vouch for the accuracy of a random person on Twitter but it looks plausible)
29 October No one is thinking of food in this bit of the novel (though Mina makes yet more tea), but as they're heading to Romania, have some sarmale. These stuffed cabbage rolls are the Romanian national dish.
31 October Mina and Van Helsing have "a huge basket of provisions". Have a picnic in their honour, if it's warm enough where you are.
1 November Mina and Van Helsing have "hot soup" into which the local cooks have put an extra amount of garlic. Consider having a truly extra amount of garlic with this 44-garlic-clove soup.
7 November The Crew of Light return to Transylvania. No details of food, but in honour of their journey, I would suggest a final round of chicken paprikash, to bring us back to where it all began.

Herb Guide for Warrior Cats: Epilepsy
Requested by an Anon!
A guide to providing treatment to a Warrior Cat OC with epilepsy. Still requires a bit of a leap in logic as nothing can replace our friend phenobarbital, BUT, if you would like herbs and strategies for managing a Warrior’s epilepsy, this guide is for you.
I researched herbs historically used for epilepsy, chose plants growing wild in a ‘common’ clan biome (temperate Europe and North America), and removed things that a cat could not use. Because of the nature of epilepsy, I also delved into some other treatments and strategies your medics can use!
So, keep in mind, this guide is written for a Clan doctor treating an epileptic cat. NOT from the perspective of a patient who has it.
I would recommend doing extra research into first-hand accounts of what it’s like to live with epilepsy when creating your patient character.
Disclaimer Time! I tried to filter out as much ‘quackery’ as possible, but remember that I am not a vet nor do I have formal training in pharmacognacy. You are also not a vet. This is for fake battle cats. LOOK AT ME. YOU WILL NOT USE THIS ON YOURSELF OR A REAL ANIMAL.
Below the cut is:
What is epilepsy?
Diagnostics
Non-herbal treatments
Managing the different types of seizures
Preventative herbs
What is epilepsy?
‘Epilepsy‘ is the broad term for dozens of different disorders, resulting in recurring epileptic seizures. A warrior could be born with it, develop it over time, or get it after recovering from brain injury (stroke, infection, head trauma, etc).
Epilepsy also varies wildly, and can be so mild it’s hard to detect, or so severe it could put the cat in too much danger to do warrior duties at all. For most cases, however, the warrior would still be able to do normal tasks* as long as they don’t hunt or patrol alone.
* = Head injury and stress from fighting can worsen epilepsy. Going on battle patrols is a risk the warrior must be made aware of.
Diagnostics
So before anything else, your medic will want to identify what triggers the seizures, if anything. There isn’t always an identifiable trigger such as a flashing light/quickly moving object, but seizures can be made worse by stress, lack of sleep, or hunger. Taking note of the warrior’s state preceding a seizure would be extremely helpful for treatment.
Does Wheatwhisker seem to have more seizures when she’s doing certain activities? When she has one, did she sleep well the night before? What has she been eating lately? She may be able to feel it coming-- including sudden intense emotion, an oncoming headache, hot or cold sensations, so on.
Like dogs, cats can detect oncoming seizures. A good medicine cat would take note of all the behavior before its onset to reduce their frequency.
NON-herbal treatments
Once correlation and causes have been identified, the medicine cat should have some lifestyle changes to suggest.
For example, Wheatwhisker has more seizures when she is tired, so the medic prevents her from going on dawn patrol. They’re sometimes triggered by the fluttering of bird wings, so she’s been told to hunt small mammals instead.
A change in diet can also reduce the frequency of seizures. Fatty foods specifically, such as red meat, eggs, and large fish. Trout and carp would be the two easiest* things for a warrior to hunt on a regular basis-- though if the given Clan can’t catch those, it may be worth it to consider trade with another group.
* = If your warriors can cook with fire, fat drippings can be cooked back into the epileptic warrior’s meals. This would make the special diet much easier to prepare than always catching specific prey.
Managing the Different Types of Seizures
Generally there are three types of seizures- ones localized to a specific body part, ones that may seem like “daydreaming”, and ones that cause the well-known convulsions. Less severe seizures are more common.
Seizures do not usually cause pain on their own, except for fatigue in the muscle or headaches. Injury is sometimes caused by external forces, such as slamming against something during a convulsion, falls, tongue biting, or hitting sharp objects.
After any seizure, nausea or a headache may develop-- feverfew will soothe headaches, mallow or fennel will soothe stomachaches. Even if the Epileptic warrior does not take regular medication, the cannabis and valerian root mentioned in the ‘preventative herbs‘ section can be taken on occasion to help the warrior relax post-seizure.
-Localized
One part of the body (leg, head) seizes or convulses. Can usually be self-managed by the warrior, loss of conscious is uncommon. Rest in a quiet area would be the best treatment afterwards. If the muscle fatigue is bad, kneading the limb will help.
-Daydream
The warrior will seem suddenly ‘absent,‘ like they’ve left their body, for typically less than 15 seconds. They may simply wobble and stare ahead (even pausing mid-sentence), or seem to ‘faint‘ and fall over, but in any case they will not remember the seizure. Prevent them from falling on something dangerous, if this seems likely.
In many cases the warrior will just be able to keep going about their day in a few minutes, or even immediately. If not, just like before, let them rest in a quiet area.
-Convulsions
A panicked cat may make convulsions worse by fearfully running around as a seizure starts-- if a warrior MUST be prevented from doing this, it’s VERY important that they are not completely pinned or restrained. JUST kept laying down. Do NOT attempt to stop the convulsions themselves.
Such a circumstance will be extremely rare in a Warrior Cat setting, where the cats are capable of reasoning like a human. There may be a situation where an epileptic cat needs to be brought out of harm’s way-- that’s fine.
Clear the area of anything sharp or hard that the convulsing warrior could hurt themselves on, like stones, or brambles. Roll them onto their side, if they aren’t already. Lastly, cushion their head with something soft, like moss, if possible.
After the seizure is over, the warrior will probably be disoriented and confused. Don’t overwhelm them or offer food or water until they’re fully alert again. Once they do, they might have partial paralysis, nausea, muscle soreness, a bitten tongue, or any variety of symptoms. Just like before, bring them to a quiet area to rest.
If your warriors wear restrictive accessories, such as belts or collars, the medicine cat will remove or loosen them during a seizure if possible.
-what NOT to do
There’s some harmful ideas out there you may have encountered, so here’s some things to keep in mind your medics would NOT do to treat a cat having convulsions:
They would NOT pin them down (this even happened in the books once yikes) Why: This could cause injury to both the restrained, and the restrainer.
They would NOT put anything in their mouth Why: Could damage their teeth or jaw, it does not prevent them from biting their tongue. (also; while tongue biting is common, it is a total myth that an epileptic will choke on/swallow it)
They would NOT start firing out questions as soon as the seizure is over Why: The warrior will likely be disoriented, and not in a state to answer properly. Give them a minute.
Preventative Herbs
Once a seizure is happening, it will have to play out. Warrior cats do not have the medical capability to stop one once started. The anticonvulsant herbs here will help to reduce the frequency and severity of seizures... but they can’t eliminate them entirely.
Anticonvulsants will need to be taken on a regular basis. Stopping these suddenly will cause dangerous side effects; if the warrior’s epilepsy isn’t severe, or herbs are a scarcity for your Clan, it may not be the best choice to medicate them.
Chamomile
Common, and naturalized all over the world. In high doses, this herb will poison a cat. Careful preparation is required to make it safe for the epileptic warrior-- it needs to be steeped in water, like tea*. The leaves should not be eaten.
* = If your cats don’t have fire to brew tea, that’s fine, it can be soaked cold.
This herb also has a side effect of drowsiness. It may make the warrior lethargic and less responsive.
Cannabis
Cannabis is a golden herb for a thousand reasons, it can be made into rope, paper, cloth, oil... but, the thing of note here is CBD oil. Cannabis grows wild all over the world, but ESPECIALLY in North America-based Clans (where it’s called Ditchweed)
Ditchweed has high CBD content, and low THC content. This makes it safe for your warriors (and also prevents them from getting high). Your cats will NOT smoke it, which will damage their sensitive respiratory systems, they will eat it like a standard herb.
Because cannabis is a depressant, this treatment is best for warriors not involved in active tasks. Epileptic warriors that prefer calm, camp-related activities will use this herb. Den-building, tunnel digging, helping the medics, crafting if your Clan makes accessories, so on.
Valerian Root
Known as a sleep aid in humans, Valerian has VERY interesting effects on cats; this is the only Epilepsy treatment that can avoid lethargy entirely. However, in contrast to cannabis, valerian will mostly be found in Europe-based Clans.
(with both, however, it is possible to find each in the other continent.)
Valerian Root has catnip-like effects, perking a warrior up and often filling them with energy. There are some cats for whom this herb will act like cannabis, calming them down, but if there’s a choice, the Epileptic warriors who enjoy active tasks will prefer this herb. Hunting, fighting, patrolling, so on.

A reminder about fundraisers
I've gotten some scammers in my inbox asking me to share their fundraisers lately, so I'd just like to remind y'all to check posts carefully before reblogging or donating!
It sucks that we have to rely on vetting/verification, but unfortunately there's many people taking advantage of the fact that a lot of Palestinians have come to Tumblr to ask for help.
Many scammers will use photos from articles or have alternate accounts posting the same story/pictures under different names. Use reverse image search and look up OP's name/username if you aren't sure—if they are a scammer there's a chance someone has already made a post about it.
If you'd like to find some reliable fundraisers to share/donate to, here are some options:
Operation Olive Branch
Gaza Funds

Hello! Out of pure curiousity, have you seen Sarcastic Chorus new Stolitz analysis video?
I-figured-i'd-ask-just-to-hear-other-people's-opinions-but-if-not-
What's your favorite Blitz moment?
Hi! I hadn't seen it—it's honestly been years since I've watched any videos from that channel—but I decided to check it out after I got this ask.
I only made it about 17 minutes in before I decided to close it because it just wasn't doing it for me.
Overall, the analysis was good. It was in-depth, connected the dots from different episodes, and delved into some of the problems in their "relationship" in a way that was thought-provoking. But... in my opinion, up to where I watched, it only painted half a picture and was more biased than I would like.
Personally, I don't have the energy to engage with any meta or analysis that only delves into the mistakes of one of the characters while portraying the other as a victim. That's the same reason why I've personally stopped watching Danny Mota's reaction videos, for example. I simply choose not to dedicate my time and mental energy to online content that posits either Blitz or Stolas as (however unwittingly) selfish, self-centered and completely powerful in the "relationship", and the other as a blameless victim who didn't deserve the way he was treated. I simply have bigger problems in my life and better things to spend my free time on.
My personal opinion (which I think is very clear if you look through my blog 😂) is that both Blitz and Stolas are traumatised and messed up characters, who are flawed in ways that are extremely human and relatable to the audience. And I'm not going to go more in-depth into my thoughts on them, because I'd rather do that when making my own meta posts out of excitement than as a commentary on someone else's review that annoyed me a little bit. But, yeah, my overall opinion on the part of the video that I watched was: not strictly incorrect, but biased, and framed in a way that doesn't make me want to dedicate more of my time to it.
As for my favourite Blitz moment... I have too many 😂 I really can't pick favourites. His whole existence is my favourite <333

Your First Kiss comic made me remember of this (I forgot who drew this, sorry)
Tumblr media
YES YES YES!!! This is exactly what I want—full-blown awkwardness! I want them both to stutter and look away from each other because they're too flustered to keep eye contact for the rest of the day. X would be drowning in a sea of thoughts. It makes him clumsy, and he messes up some of his paperwork too. He is overall just a mess, and everyone around him can notice it, but he keeps insisting that he's fine. Alia still forces him to go to med bay to get a proper scan because, according to her, his internals are about to fry. Zero would be taking mental notes of how distracted he is now, even when X isn't around. Zero is a warbot; he doesn't like how this could cause conflict when he's out on a mission, so he turns to what he knows, the training simulator, to correct what he sees as a disadvantage. Failing to 100% some routine training would really annoy him, and he knows why! He knows exactly why it agitates him! There might be one way to rectify this.
Accept his invasive thoughts as an objective and go find X.

finished reading scarlet; last thoughts and reactions and ponderings
was about to be like "ew wtf did not want r*pe in MY y/a book" AND THEN HE SLIPPED HER AN I.D. TO ESCAPE
thorne is SO real for only being concerned about his jacket despite human bites being very dangerous lol
why are these werewolves acting like vamps
it's kind of nice how cool thorne is with lunars with all the lunar hate there is - i remember when reading cinder being apalled about how she generalised them all as corrupt
YES SCARLET KNOWS SHE KNOWS NOW
NO NOT GRANNY I'M LITERALLY IN STUDY PERIOD RN I CAN'T CRY (note: i managed not to cry in study period but god my eyes burned for a while lmao)
tf i thought wolf was just being possessive in like a protective way against ran and not just a plain old possessive way. he's honestly making me nervous rn like goodness i can literally feel scarlet's fear rn. STOP WITH YOUR I CAN FIX HIM DISEASE AND RUN (note: okay he got brain fucky wucky by mind control so this isn't him)
HOLY SHIT THEY'RE ALL FINALLY MEETING I'M FROTHING AT THE MOUTH
i think kai is going delulu. i bet his office isn't bugged and he's got a spy. literally since cinder my money has been on torin. but maybe huy
omg kai's recognition of cinder's sacrifice by going to the ball <3
gotta agree with everything cinder's saying about kai's marriage because it's everything i've been thinking since kai decided to marry levana. i wish he would see how it's a bandaid for a stab wound. he's barely fixing a short term problem, which is gonna have the same long term problem regardless
the girls (all current pov characters) ARE FIGHTING. not mad tho because i'm a messy bitch who lives for drama <3
"She'd had the bridge built for herself out of very special glass, so that she could watch (...) all without being observed herself" levana YOU MEAN A TWO WAY MIRROR??? don't go acting all superior you're not special
from what wolf has described of his Tragic Backstory there is NO way he ISN'T a virgin. i'm so sorry that was my only takeaway but i'm trying to distract myself
"We met less than a week ago and in that time I've done nothing but lie and cheat and betray you" FKSDHFSDK sounds JUST like ouat rumpelstiltskin and yet he's STILL healthier than him and not toxic LMAO
wait did wolf need to pretend betray scarlet without her knowing instead of just making THAT the plan because those supersoldiers can smell hormones?? i bet they can. i reckon he needed her to feel REAL fear (note: now that i think about it it's probably just the bioelectricity crap but also ONLY the thaumaturge would be able to detect that???)
if i keep having to read "alpha female" with my own two eyes, i'm going to need bleach. marissa meyer you owe me financial compensation for the psychological distress i've been caused. 3 is in fact 4 times too many. it is a crime that it was ever thought into existence
predictions for cress
didn't do this last time between cinder and scarlet but figured it would be fun!! you guys get to silently laugh about how wrong i am, no spoilers
first off, doc erland's place in africa becomes the home base and cinder starts her training
someone tries to recreate garan's device since it will be useful for the rebellion - could be a joint effort between cinder and cress since they have the hardware and software down respectively. idk who's gonna fill the last role of like. bio stuff and the surgeries tho but we'll see
MORE THORNE BACKSTORY
definitely more wolf pov chapters now that marissa no longer needs to make him dodgy
cress is at least a LITTLE bit delulu wackers bonkers cray z lost her marbles etc etc from being so isolated for so long. i would LOVE to get into that mindset and character voice. would make for a very interesting pov
on reading the blurb:
i'm REALLY fucking dumb it finally occurred to me that in rapunzel the hero falls from the tower and gets blinded by thorns. so that tells me exactly who carswell thorne is (rip to when i thought he was the prince from sleeping beauty cause that's embarrassing). i wonder if he gets ejected into space from the satellite and his eyeballs freeze out of his sockets or something
i wonder WHY cress would be locked up by the queen BEFORE she was even able to hack since she wouldn't have been useful then. my first thought was that glamour doesn't work on her like with shells but she's not a shell herself but that wouldn't make sense because the thaumaturges seemed surprised by cinder and michelle benoit so it can't be that. for the sake of my running joke of every fairy tale character either being related or knowing each other, i'm just gonna pin it down to her being somewhere in the family tree and leave it at that
can these people STOP getting separated from each other?? i can't handle it. from the blurb it seems like the boys got cut off from the girls??? and then kai is also separated from all of them lol. this is a prediction only in the sense that i'm trying to guess who's getting separated from who. i think it would tie well into separating everyone from their love interest like poor cinder
i wonder if this will be the book that we meet princess winter since with royal etiquette and all that her presence will p r o b a b l y be required during all them wedding preparations and what not
