#tw chronic wasting disease

[mod-autumn]

There is a malady inside my soul

Nothing can help me to regain control

Now that the agony has taken hold

Just promise me you’ll cut me off

And live through the night!

Burn down the danger zone

Set it alight

I've no concern for things like fear and fright!

There's no contingency

Our hands are tied

So, why don't I surrender

And give in to decay?

Every single second I've been wasting away!

Prion disease/CWD/Not-Deer

[mynameis-a]

does anyone want to know where the idea of jackalopes (most likely) originated from?

because i’m gonna tell you!!

(content warning for under the cut: talking about fucked up rabbits, and at the end there are three pictures of rabbits with horn-like structures on its faces. the first one has it the worst with the horns all over its face, the second one only really has them on one side of its face, the third has a few.)

ok so its called scope papillomavirus, or cottontail rabbit papillomavirus!

it can cause keratinous structures that look like horns to sprout on the rabbits head!

and, like how manatees were mistaken for mermaids, it makes sense as to how these horns would be mistaken for antlers. especially as they can form on the top of the head.

(IF YOU LOOK IT UP PLEASE SPECIFY “HORNS” IN YOUR SEARCH. THIS IS NOT THE ONLY PART OF SPV AND THE OTHER VISIBLE ASPECTS OF IT ARE MUCH LESS COOL.)

aaaaanyways, this is what it looks like :D

i think its pretty fucking cool :D

Okay so let’s get this clear. My chart AT the Hospital was marked for sepsis 4 hours prior to me getting discharged.

They saw that when they were getting ready to tell me to go home, heart effective slowed down so apparently I’m good? (until tomorrow obviously)

But again I was marked for sepsis and the nurse was like oh and called someone over and they cleared it and sent me home?

My white blood count was elevated. I had a slight bit of bacteria in my urine sample. I came in with a rapid heartbeat, hot flashes chills, was driving 45mph on a Highway that was 75mph. Dizziness, light headed.

Still discharged. I made it home. Maybe I won’t have to make that choice that I was talking about in my last post; maybe my body will make that choice for me instead.

Finally. I’ll have peace.

[writerbeemedina]

Okay, so here's my take on the zombie myth. Cursed corpses with an appetite for human flesh? No, no.

You may be familiar with chronic wasting disease that affects deer -- commonly known as zombie deer disease. It's an illness that eats away at the brain, and it's 100% fatal. It causes the body to slowly shut down, symptoms manifesting as:

Loss of motor control

Confusion

Excessive salivation

Excessive urination

Extreme weight loss

So far, there have been no cases reported in humans, but WHAT IF the disease mutates to the point? There is no known cure, and the dead still have the potential to carry the infection, and one thing after another, eventually leading to a full-blown "apocalypse." And the real tragedy of these "zombies" is how the infected lose their entire sense of self and humanity.

[theshadow-inthelight]

Apperently it's become news recently that deer are having a terrifying outbreak of a "zombie disease"

And I am here to say that it's just chronic wasting disease!! Chronic wasting disease is a condition in deer (most commonly anyways!) And it causes them to quickly deteriorate physically and mentally.it does NOT spread to humans!

It spreads in deer and similar animals through bodily fluid and environment contamination!

We do have something similar, although it's much more uncommon.You see, chronic wasting disease is a prions disease, and technically those can occur in people (such as kuru)! However it pretty much only happens when you eat uncooked human meat. So Good news! The majority of the population is safe.

Cook your corpses! Be careful with deer! Stay safe!

(obviously joking do NOT eat people. Humans are not good for you. We also generally are just not good sources of vitamins. Like you won't benefit from eating a person.)

[fuck-cavern-crashers]

I would be willing to harvest Cavern Crasher heads to check for the dragon equivalent of chronic wasting disease

[randomtheidiot]

Prion disease: A disease caused by a misfolded protein that burns holes in the brain and always kills. Can have a late start (anywhere from 2 to 5 years) but always causes the same symptoms, which look nothing like autism and will kill you within months or even weeks of onset. Basically a zombie virus that eats your brain from the inside out and makes you lose control of your mind and body. Causes hallucinations, rapid decline in mental function to the point of nonsentience, convulsions, abnormal movement like walking in circles, loss of ability to eat, sleep and breathe and eventually death. None of these symptoms look like autism.

Forest rangers: Doing their goddamn jobs and getting blood samples from the local deer population to test for diseases. They’ve been doing this practically since the technology first became available and they’ve filmed the process extensively. They are so open about doing this that they write it all down in excruciating detail and publish it in news articles. This is where the CWD and other disease reports come from, and they would naturally do more of this if there’s more reason to suspect a disease outbreak.

Autism: You’re born with it. It has been diagnosed more frequently due to advancements in neuroscience. It also happens to look and function nothing like prion disease and it doesn’t fucking kill you within weeks of a diagnosis.

Some conspiracy nut: Hurr durr the government is injecting zombie diseases into deer to give humans autism and that’s definitely how autism works and also I’m not crazy and I don’t need therapy, you’re just a sheep and I’m too smart for you liberals to ever possibly understand.

Get your tinfoil hat wearing head out of your ass and either figure out just what the fuck you’re talking about or keep your mouth shut and don’t make yourself look like a jackass in front of people who do. Fear mongering doesn’t work if you’re an idiot.

Would it be fucked up to write about Chronic Wasting Disease(on deers) but make it Yandere! Alastor. Highkey inspired by Lovesick! Wally Darling.

TW: It's YANDERE and maybe horror like?

The more the disease develops the more boney and ill-looking Alastor gets. Wasting away in his room as he tries to find a cure for this disease, unwilling to show his face to the hotel members with how messed up he looks right now, drooling and skinnier than he has ever been, ears drooping low on his head, he doesn't have enough energy to perk them back up.

Even all through what has been happening to him, the smile on his face never falters, granted, he could never stop even if he wants to. The disease will never let him drop the grin on his face.

Enter you, a trusted member of the Hazbin Hotel, and a good friend to the Radio Demon before his isolation. The princess of hell has been concerned after a month of no contact from Alastor, she has been trying to get him out of his room but all she gets in return are incoherent mumbles and even growling. So, she assigned you to take care of Alastor during that whole month, her being too busy to focus on him.

You've been leaving him food outside his room, he never ate them so you resorted to asking Rosie to bring you demon meat or venison, he ate them but not alot. However when you left the food in it's raw state, as suggested by miss Rosie, he didn't leave any leftovers after that.

For the past month that's the routine that you fell into, wake up, eat breakfast, bring Alastor his food, try to talk to him while he's eating-- you never get any responses, then leave. One time though, you were a bit late in bringing him his food, and as you bent down to leave the meat, the door burst open and you screamed in surprise, dropping the food and crawling backwards against the wall. The hand that snatched the meat was too fast, too boney, and too sharp.

The door didn't close though and through the gap you can see a single red eye peering through it. It looked frantic, pupils dilated, shaky. Why are the pupils shaped like a heart...?

"I...scared you...? I'm sorry, I'm sorry...Imsorryimsorryimsorryimsorry--," Alastor's demonic voice mumbles as the door creeps open. You ran away before he could fully open it.

That was a week ago, ever since then you tried to be on time. Today though, things went differently, not only did he grabbed the meat, he also grabbed you. Now you're laying on the ground shivering in fear as the deer demon lays on top of you, nuzzling onto your neck, the drool soaking your shirt.

"You're here...Yes... It doesn't hurt anymore, oh my darling... I was so sick for so long... I was trying to find the cure to heal me... but oh...," he sighs, gripping you tighter, "You were the cure all along! It was so close to me and I didn't even know it! It has always been you...!"

"Every time I thought about you, it hurt less, and every time you were outside my door bringing me food like a good mate. The pain was gone...! But why would you leave every time? Don't you know you have to stay with your mate? Your husband?"

"Hmmm... Maybe if you keep taking care of me, I'll be healthy enough to go outside our room! And we can go on dates! Yes... That would be lovely..." He croons, pulling away from your neck and looking down at you, his heart shaped eyes glowing in the dark.

What the hell happened to Alastor?

tw : discussion of disease and illness

i was talking to someone on the rainers server about this but here me out. corruption appearing in people like chronic wasting disease (like the one deers get.) cause exor is a deer and it encapsulates the horror of the corruption

imagine scott sees his brother for the first time but he’s just wrong. he’s visibly starved and moving weirdly and and confused and distressed and seemingly not fully in control. imagine scott’s horror at seeing his brother reduced from a powerful demon to this as the illness progresses.

Happily Never Afters

This is a little list of characters and information I came up with for a new... Story? X Reader Series? Idk. I just came up with them and liked them. I will update this as I come up with more characters. For the sake of this not taking up a large portion of the screen, I will put all info, including basic details, under the read more. Trigger warnings will be above it, however, just so people don't stumble upon things that might disturb or trigger them.

TW: Murder, Death/Decay, Disease, Body Horror(?), Curses, Obsessive/Possessive Behaviors, Stalking

Basic Info: I kinda wanted to practice writing more fantastical horror and horror romance ( would that be called dark romance? Idk). So, the basic premise is that these are fairy tales that are switched up, with none ending happily due to those changes, hence the cliche name for the series. I don't really see it as a series that has an overarching plotline, either. Just a bunch of scenarios. Small things will be changed around, too, just because I am interested in the ways that those things can change the plot. Examples of those could be the classic "evil stepmother" now being an "evil stepfather" or a character now having a sibling when they didn't beforehand. The intention of this is to both practice writing and to entertain others, lol. So, there may be weird scenarios, scenarios being written over again with alternative endings, and other such things. If anybody is interested in requesting stuff for certain characters, be it scenarios, headcanons (well, idk if it would be called that due to me being the person creating it, but anyways...), or anything else, they are welcome! Especially since you all may have ideas that I would've never been able to come up with.

With basic info out of the way, onto the characters!

SNOW WHITE characters:

Snow White/Gertrude - She's Snow White. The evil queen tried to have her killed by a huntsman, of course. However, her twin brother, Walter, overheard the plan and convinced Gertrude to let him go in her stead, dressed as her. She didn't believe the plan was true, until news came that Walter was killed, with his heart missing. This caused her to run into the woods, meet the dwarves, and to live with them. Soon, the animals and crops near the little cottage started to die, and she had the feeling that she was being watched. When the evil queen came to give her the apple, disguised as an old lady, Gertrude was desperate and hungry enough to take it and eat it. The curse in this version was not a curse of sleep, but instead, a curse of living dead. She is... Dead, but she is alive. She walks around, and on a first glance, she looks alive, but sickly due to her pale skin. Once you take a closer look, however, you'll see how her eyes are pale and glassy, how her lips look slightly purple of black. She doesn't decay, but the things around her do in their own way. While only edible, crop plants like corn, lettuce, and carrots tend to perish, animals of most every kind die away from disease. The telltale sign of Gertrude's presence, as well as Walter's, is chronic wasting disease in the deer populations near them. Gertrude only became known as Snow White after the curse befell her. True love's kiss would still free her from the spell but... Who would want to kiss an undead woman.

Walter - Walter is Gertrude's twin brother. He also has the nickname of Snow White, with people in nearby villages and towns arguing over whether Gertrude or Walter is the real Snow White. He overheard the queen's plan to have the huntsman kill his sister, so he went in her stead, knowing that a simple change of clothes and lack of speech could possibly trick him. They have always looked uncannily similar, after all. While he was in the afterlife, standing next to his own corpse as a ghost, a fairy godmother came to him. She offered him a chance to save Gertrude from the queen's next trick and to bring him to life. The catch was, he would be under the same curse as the one that the queen would cast on her. If he saves Gertrude in time, the curse would be lifted from him and he could go to the afterlife, and if not, he would never die and the curse shall never go away, not even with true love's kiss. After accepting, he tried to get into contact with his sister, only to fail because of his ghoulish appearance and the disturbing deaths of all the animals around him scaring her away. Once the curse was placed on her, he began to dedicate his undead life to finding her true love. In his eyes, if he can never die or find happiness, he might as well find a way for his sister to do so. He loves her too much to let her suffer.

The Dwarves ran off once Gertrude was cursed, afraid of what she has become and convinced that she would hurt them. Due to this, the twins now live in the cottage alone, trying to live as normal of a life as they can. They can't feel pain, instead feeling uncomfortable, but painless sensations. Random, tickling feelings like insects crawling on them to sudden bouts of heat or cold. Another side effect of the curse is feeling overly strong emotions. Sadness is the main one, due to their predicament, but anger, happiness, and love are also stronger and more intense than before.

CINDERELLA characters:

Cinderella/Ella: Her name is simply Ella. The parts with her working for her evil stepparent and stepsisters are the same, except for the fact that her stepmother is now a stepfather, that is well-known by the nobility due to his growing company. When it comes to the ball, her fairy godmother gives her a different spell than the simple "go to the ball, and at midnight, your clothes will turn back into rags". Instead, the spell is that she needs to go to the ball and dance with the prince, or else at midnight, the magic pumpkin flowers she used to repair Ella's dress will grow around her and drag her back to the wild pumpkin patch they came from. Ella accepts, not seeing the true weight of the downside. When she goes to the ball, she dances with the man she believes to be the prince, having never seen the prince before and getting confused due to all the fancily dressed noblemen around her. When she is dragged to the pumpkin patch, she notices how the vines have grown into her ankles, keeping her grounded to the pumpkin patch. The worst part, however, is that she can go to the edges of the patch, but not far enough to get help. She makes one last wish with her fairy godmother, which is that true love's kiss will free her, with the catch of this wish being that it will not come for at least three years, then after a multitude of lovers may come around to try to free her with a kiss, with only one being her true love that will succeed.

Prince Charming/ Prince Maurice: Prince Maurice takes the role of Cinderella's "Prince Charming". He knows Cinderella's stepfather, Claude, due to how well-known his company is. Maurice has even met Claude to discuss the company. One of those meetings resulted in him meeting Cinderella, as she leads him to her father's office, with Cinderella not knowing that he was a prince because her father purposely kept her in the dark. This simple meeting results in him becoming completely obsessed with Cinderella. From scheduling more meetings to try to see her, to even going as far as dressing as a peasant to stalk her as she runs her errands. During the ball, he sees her and tries to get a dance with her, only for her to dance with multiple other men under the assumption that he was a simple company owner instead of the prince. When he hears that she is trapped in a pumpkin patch, and that only true love's kiss can save her, he immediately heads over to save her. In his eyes, his obsessive love is true love, meaning that they are meant to be. Depending on the version of the spell, his belief that his love is true is what makes the spell work, despite the fact that, objectively, he isn't in LOVE with her, he is in OBSESSION with her. In other versions, where his kiss doesn't work, he tries other ways to get her for himself.

THE LITTLE MERMAID characters:

The Little Mermaid/Emil: I saw somewhere that the original Little Mermaid was written by a homosexual man who failed to get with the love of his life, which was, of course, another man. So, I decided to make the Little Mermaid in this version of the story a male merfolk named Emil, who fell in love with a pirate captain instead of a prince. He makes a deal with the Sea Witch, Clara, to become a human for a day. If he doesn't get with the pirate captain by the dawn of the next day, he will turn back into a merfolk, which could result in him suffocating on land. He fails to get the captain to fall in love with him, resulting in him turning back into a merfolk while on the ship. The captain saves him by placing him in a large barrel full of seawater, where they kept fish to be sold or eaten by the crew. Instead of letting Emil go back to the sea, however, the captain instead decides to parade him around like a freakshow in order to get free gold from the numerous towns his crew stops by, with Emil having no real way to escape. As much as he tries to comfort himself with the fact that he is, in a way, a part of the captain's crew, it doesn't help because he has realized that the captain doesn't see him as a person.

PLAN TO ADD:

Beauty and the Beast

Sleeping Beauty

[cannibalgirlfie]

imo people should be more scared of chronic wasting disease than they currently are.

tw for animal disease, gore/brutalness ig,

like, cwd just straight up turns these poor deer into zombies, y'all ever heard about how cwd infected deer will occasionally smash their head into a tree, rock or other surface until their brains are basically everywhere?

and to make it even worse, cwd can linger in an area where a cwd infected deer was for up to a decade, ten whole years.

these deers are also effectively braindead, running on borrowed time, and the fact this nightmare ass disease can occur simply because a prion was misfolded? that is terrifying to think about.

much like rabies, chronic wasting disease can also take years for even a single symptom to show, by the time that single symptom shows? the deer is quite literally already dead.

So yeah I think cwd is terrifying but also really interesting :]
