hey so do we know why GYNs don't numb you up for endometrial biopsies bc i had one done at 9AM and my uterus still feels like it wants to physically rip itself out of my body.
my mom: oh yeah i've had those, they suck bc they basically trigger labor pains
me: .... w h a t
on the bright side i got an IUD and in about three months will apparently be done with my period so that's truly spectacular. let's just hope they don't actually FIND anything with that biopsy.

Bleach 099
We recently watched whatever episode this scene corresponds to, and it stood out to me because this is one of my favorite chapters in all of Bleach! <3 not only is Hinamori wondering why Hitsugaya showed up to rubberbeck Renji, but she also specifically asks why he’s there without Matsumoto. This is the second time we’ve heard someone mention their confusion about this, because in Chapter 65 Byakuya also wants to know why Ichimaru and Zaraki are seeking him out without their lieutenants:
The repetition is so funny to me, because up to this point I’m not sure how many captains we’ve actually seen with their VC, period. Not a lot. Heck, as far as we know, even Hitsugaya and Matsumoto haven’t seen each other all day, and they’ve probably been voted Most Likely to Be In The Same Place at the Same Time Whether it Makes Efficient Sense For This to be True for over a decade straight. And most of the Gotei spends this entire arc running around completely solo.
But clearly there’s some kind of protocol! And it’s not just Byakuya carrying over expectations of the nobility into the workplace, or being like “gtfo my lawn Ichimaru,” yelling at clouds, etc. Hinamori mentioned it too, which makes it legit.
My guess is that if you’re a captain showing up in another Division’s space, it’s supposed to be a formalized affair. Like, it’s written down somewhere that everyone is supposed to make a big deal out of it. You’re not supposed to just lurk around being creepy, nor are you supposed to just drop by casually. There needs to be ~pomp and circumstance~ Or, if not pomp, at least showing up with your VC so it looks more like a Diplomatic Excursion. Or better yet, simply avoid having to see each other, period, which seems par for the course at this point between the divisions. (Interesting, though, that since Kira and Hinamori just showed up to check on Renji without having to go with their captains, that seems to suggest that VCs have free run of the place in ways their captains do not.)
Why would such a protocol exist, outside of putting the “society” in Soul Society? It seems like there’s enough division business that ideally the Captain and VC would be able to tackle different aspects of it separately so as to kill all the birds with two stones. Are the VCs supposed to act as mediators if two captains decide to get into a pissing match lol? Communications seems to be a VC task (Isane sending the message about Aizen to everyone rather than Unohana, Matsumoto taking point on communications back to Soul Society while they were engaged with the Arrancar in Karakura, etc.), so... are they supposed to... take notes? tbh I think it really is mostly about formalizing the encounters and having some kind of entourage for elaborate socio-political/politeness/power play reasons.
NOT THAT IT MATTERS BECAUSE NO ONE DOES THIS

Moon Knight Ladies
Ravonna the Moon Knight (Earth-616), a variant of Ravonna Renslayer (Earth-6311)
This variant of Ravonna and apparent devotee of the Cult of Khonshu was created by Collin Kelley, Jackson Lanzing, and Carlos Magno for Kang the Conqueror (Vol. 1/2021), #2, #3, and #4.
(Kang the Conqueror, #2)
Although the whole timeline is rather complex (as is the case with pretty much all Kang storylines, almost by necessity), young Kang spent some time in ancient Egypt during the reign of yet another variant of himself, Rama-Tut. While there, Kang's life was saved on at least one occasion by Ravonna.
(Kang the Conqueror, #2)
They spent a considerable amount of time together waging guerrilla warfare against Rama-Tut's regime before the relationship turned romantic.
(Kang the Conqueror, #2)
However, this Kang and Ravonna were separated during the collapse of Rama-Tut's dynasty and En Sabah Nur/Apocalypse's rise to power. In his own words, Kang describes Ravonna as having been "scattered to time" and, while never explicitly confirmed, Kang believes her to be dead. Sure enough, as comic’s are want to do, something something something time-and-space shenanigans Ravonna was never really dead, Rama-Tut had sent Ravonna “away,” and her and Kang reunite.
(Kang the Conqueror, #3)
(Kang the Conqueror, #4)
They spend some time kicking rear together, but they unfortunately seem fated to have some irreconcilable ideological and personal differences.
(Kang the Conqueror, #4)
Their next meeting, from what I understand, weaves back in more of Ravonna’s original backstory, as well as her original design, definitively separating her from this series’ Moon Knight elements.
In addition, I just wanted to comment that her outfits are delightfully complex, but one (possibly incidental) detail I really enjoy is that at times her cape is inked/printed to look as if it contains a void or whole galaxies.
(Kang the Conqueror, #2)
idk, I just think it looks neat.
