#pulse checking

I just remembered that a few years ago, back when I was still trying to find the best medication for my anxiety, I got given wayyyyyy too much propranolol, a medicine that slows down your heart rate. When it kicked in, my heart rate was down to like 30-40bpm, which does not feel good at all.

Somehow I managed to keep from passing out, and got into the bath where I just kinda laid there (don't do this if you're by yourself and you feel faint lol, I only did it because my Mum, who's a nurse, was there too).

Anyway it led to this super whumpy visual where I (insert your whumpee here) was half conscious, my arm kinda draped over the edge of the tub while my Mum (insert your caretaker here) held my wrist to check my pulse.

It sucked to experience because I also felt super nauseous and dizzy, but it's a hell of a good scenario to put your whumpee through

The first time Steve and Eddie ever talk to each other is in the nurse’s office because Eddie had a bloody nose and Steve is…dying? Eddie thinks he might be dying. Eddie thinks that Steve Harrington is going to die while the nurse left to call his parents and everybody is going to blame him.

Steve’s face is still pretty fucked up from whatever happened between him and Billy so Eddie thinks it’s probably painful to have his arm draped across his face like that.

“Please don’t die.”

Steve lifts his arm just enough to squint at Eddie in the dimly lit room, “Huh?”

“If you’re going to die, do it when the nurse is here so no one thinks it’s my fault,” Eddie says.

Steve just stares at him a little longer than them hums to himself, “Aura.”

“Huh?”

“Not dying, migraine,” Steve says into his arm. “Start of one. Gonna be bad in like, thirty minutes.”

Eddie watches Steve swallow thickly like he’s trying hard not to throw up and thinks that it looks pretty bad now, but he shrugs. He pats Steve on the leg, “Least your mom will pick you up before then.”

Steve snorts and it looks painful with his nose still messed up, “Fat chance. M’parents aren’t in town.”

“Oh…” Eddie hums and then makes an impulsive suggestion. “I could take you home.”

“…Yeah, okay. Let’s go.”

Wait. What? He wasn’t supposed to take him up on that, “Really?”

Astronomy tower, late at night toward the end of the school year [1976]

James: What's your favorite sound?

Regulus: I like the sound of silence a lot.

James: *goes quiet*

Regulus, mumbling: I also like the sound of your voice, too.

James, clueless: Huh? What did you say, I wasn't listening *was too busy looking for Reg's star*

Regulus: Absolutely nothing, you're hearing things.

James: Whatever you say, mi estrella.

Regulus: ?

James, staring enraptured: You're adorable.

Regulus, blushing: Shut,, the fuck up???

okay they said normal CCHF had a 30% mortality rate right. and bobby's symptoms took significantly longer to show up than chimney's so maybe. maybe he's just got the normal nonlethal version. maybe?

[mazzystar24]

Just saying if they wanted us to believe Bobby was dead they should’ve gone the traumatising buffy “the body” route 🙄🤚

Prompt:

Jason, after coming back to Gotham and taking over the criminal underworld— is burnt out.

He’s exhausted, he can’t sleep, he’s pretty sure he broke some ribs somewhere along the two month mark of being the Red Hood and he just wants to go home.

So he does, entering the Cave near deliriously while Batman and Robin are out on patrol, shattering the stupid memorial he comes across while he’s at it, and— huh, well, that actually looks like a pretty comfy spot to take a nap. He’s just gonna— one minute. He just needs one… minute…..

When Bruce and Tim return to the Cave it’s to a dead boy passed out in the shattered remains of the memorial case, wrapped up in the tattered cape Bruce pulled from the rubble in Ethiopia.

Your heart is beating wildly. Feeling sick, aren't you? I think I read somewhere that you can't drink alcohol and coffee together.

AU where Wei Wuxian awakens after the soul sacrifice but not the Yiling Patriarch. Because Wei Wuxian died the first time he was thrown into the Burial Mounds and every shred of his demonic cultivation was due to his powers as a resentful ghost; powers he no longer has, you see, because now he's alive again.
