I'm in Taiwan right now and saw a print ad for Wang Yibo in a store and instantly thought of you.
OHHHHHH this was what I forgot to do!!! i just cleared malaysian customs and was thinking to myself that i seemed to have forgotten to do something!!! i saw a xiao zhan ad at the duty free store and was going to take a photo hahahahahaha
ANYWAY ehehehe glad you thought of me, this is exactly the kind of association i wish y’all have of me 😘
Rating Paradise Lost healers based on how safe you are going to them
Lucifer - 10/10 bro has cheats activated. The only one that I can see having a medical degree. I would trust this man with a brain surgery, he's a good doctor.
Gamigin - 10/10 again, he has a magic pearl that can bring back the dead. He can heal you instantly and he's a good boy so he'll do it from the kindness of his heart. He probably only knows home remadies for less deadly illness or pains (puterea calului and gălbenele 💀) , but he's trying his best.
Marbas - 8/10 he has a fifty-fifty change of him either killing or healing you. He's agressive and horny, so much so that he needs to be tied up on the job. But I can still see him killing someone for giving of wrong vibes (like in Chapter 4). Also, he can't move that much when he's tied up, so his healing is also limited.
Morax - 6/10 this man cured someone's lobotomy. He is so airheaded that he can't realise the danger he puts himself through. He has no medical degree, he probably never went to school past 5th grade. The moment he realised his ability he finally had purpose in life. You'd feel bad even if he heals a paper cut for you.
Buer - 4/10 Lucifer probably poached him from Tartaros with the help of the dog god so he could be the accountent in Paradise Lost. All he knows is essantial oils and yoga. He doesn't do it for profit, he's simply grossed out by surgeries. His the recovery and phisiotherapy guy, he gives nice messages. Just... don't ask him about anything related to your insides.
Jjok - 1000/10 he's the therapy dog of the group and he's the only one keeping the hospital from gettint sued. We pay our respects to Jjok, the MVP of this whole opperation.
I've subbed the third episode of my favourite favourite favourite show! There were quite a lot of Japanese references to explain in this episode so please read the notes before getting confused.

Notes:
Hirugao (japanese bindweed) was a popular drama about cheating that aired in 2014. Kin'youbi no tsumatachi e ('to friday wives'), also known as Kintsuma, was a popular drama about cheating that aired in the 80s. I didn't translate or localise these titles since making references to Japanese tv shows seems to be part of Kurosawa's characterisation.
Sontaku: A word that became popular after the Moritomo gakuen political scandal in 2017 and is often used jokingly. I didn't translate it because there is no simple translation as it is a cultural concept rather than just a word and I wanted to maintain the scandal link. Here is a wikipedia page about sontaku. Basically it means to do something the other person wants you to do without them saying they want you to do it.
Convenience store restrooms usually have a poster that says something along the lines of thank you for always keeping the restroom clean.
Dogeza: the ultimate kneeling apology. Not actually used anymore sans some press conferences after a major fuck up.
Before you become a memory, show me your smile one more time: This is actually a Spitz lyric. Here is the song:
youtube
Takekawa-san's twitter account is also a reference to Spitz.
maybe if i listen to coyote stories by the crane wives just *one more time* then ill finally understand that time is not my friend and time is not my remady and that no amount of waiting will make me brave and also maybe that no amount of fear will keep me safe
Last movie: Shang Chi at the flicks, I think? At home, who knows? Maybe the first Dwayne Johnson Jumanji?
Currently working on: A porny TS fic and a porny SPN fic. Given that it's not so long ago I was lamenting to a friend that my porn writing ability had disappeared, (heck my ability to write at all) it seems it's not just hope that springs eternal.
I'm not sure I can tag nine people but I will tag a few: @remadi, @notenuffcaffeine, @amortaldothapproach, @angsty-violet and anyone who wants to be tagged. No pressure if you don't. :-)
Study: Migraines and cluster headaches are related to sleeping habits 🥺
A recent study discovered a connection between migraines and cluster headaches and the body’s biological clock.
Is it time for a headache?
According to a recent study, the internal clock of the body has a strong relationship with migraines and cluster headaches.
According to the study, which was published on Wednesday in Neurology, both forms of headaches are strongly correlated with the circadian system, which refers to the bodily, psychological, and behavioral patterns that are governed by a 24-hour cycle.
According to the National Institutes of Health, migraines are a type of recurrent headache that can cause moderate to incapacitating pain and continue for anywhere between four and 72 hours. Women have migraines three times more frequently than males do.
According to the NIH, men are three times more likely to develop cluster headaches than women, which are the most prevalent type of primary headache.
Clusters can occur every other day to eight times each day, and they are frequently brief and accompanied by nasal congestion.
It was discovered that the circadian rhythm of the body is influenced by both genetic and hormonal factors in certain headache diseases.
Several vital internal processes, including sleep cycles, hormone activity, rhythmic body temperature, feeding, and digestion are timed by a person’s circadian clock.
The current meta-analysis, which is a statistical examination of prior studies, looked at the genes and hormones connected to the circadian clock as well as the frequency of headaches on a daily and annual basis.
Researchers discovered that 71% of 4,953 participants in 16 distinct studies exhibited a clear circadian pattern of cluster headaches.
According to researchers, circadian-based therapies might be an effective sort of headache treatment.
The spring and fall seasons as well as late nights and early mornings were when the majority of those headaches occurred.
Five of the nine genes displayed a circadian rhythm, and two of the key circadian genes were linked to cluster headaches.
Comparing participants with and without cluster headaches, it was discovered that those with cluster headaches had lower melatonin levels and higher cortisol levels.
Compared to cluster headaches, migraines exhibited a reduced link to circadian rhythms (50%) but were still found to be somewhat influenced by the body’s natural clock.
Attacks were less frequent at night.
Also, two key circadian genes were linked to recurrent headaches, and 110 out of 168 genes displayed a circadian pattern of expression.
Melatonin levels in the urine were lower in migraineurs than in non-migraineurs, and they decreased even further during an episode.
Author of the study and American Academy of Neurology member Mark Joseph Burish, M.D., Ph.D., of the University of Texas Health Science Center in Houston, said, “The data imply that both of these headache syndromes are extremely circadian at numerous levels, especially cluster headache.”
This emphasizes the significance of the hypothalamus, the region of the brain that contains the main biological clock, and its function in migraine and cluster headache. It also calls into question the genetic basis of known migraine triggers including irregular sleep patterns, which serve as cues for the circadian cycle of the body.
According to experts, this research shows that treatments for headache disorders that are based on the circadian rhythm, such as taking drugs at specific times of the day, should be investigated.
