Rise Up, Oh Heart, For There is Another Battle to Win

if an archaeologist says an artifact was probably for “ritual purposes” it means “i have no fuckin clue”

but if they say it was for “fertility rituals” they mean “i know exactly what it was for but i dont want to say ‘ancient dildo’”

Please. Please. Please. Stay away from heroin and meth. Please.

Don’t say “I just wanna try it once, I can control myself.” Don’t say it.

Just please don’t ever do those two drugs. Please.

Please

THISSSSSS

also stay way from Molly and ecstasy. they are drugs found usually at raves and clubs and when taken cause the “happiness receptors” in your brain to be destroyed and can never be fixed meaning you will never feel happy again unless you take the drug again, which leads to dependence and overdose. these drugs also cause hyperthermia which causes your body to heat up at an alarming rate. seriously stay away from these.

We need more of these posts, educating us that not all drugs are harmful. We need more posts that give us information on safe environments for drug users, and what to do if something does go wrong. We need to be told how to safely do these drugs. Telling someone not to do drugs will just harm them more. I’d rather know how to do a certain drug safely than be oblivious and be severely harmed.

I can agree with the first part, H and Meth are a road better left untraveled. I have a couple of friends who have kicked heroin addiction and say it was the worst idea they ever had, the ones who couldn’t kick it are dead. 

The post about Molly and Ecstasy is ridiculous and sounds like it was written by a 13 year old with X’s on the back of their hands. Your serotonin production get diminished for about a day, which does generally lead to a gloomy feeling, but it’s not a permanent condition. Hyperthermia is real, but not a guaranteed effect as it affects everyone differently. I overheat every time I do Ecstasy, which is why I wont take it, but I’m also 130lbs with a very high metabolism, not a prime candidate for taking speed. 

For those who are curious, here’s some real advice on social drug use….

Know Your Dealer - Buying drugs you’ve never taken off of someone you’ve never met is just stupid. Buying drugs you have taken off of someone you don’t know is also risky, but if you’re careful it generally works out. A lot of times people will try to sell you one thing by saying it’s something else. It’s usually bad product that they can’t get rid of. Other people will straight rip you off. You know how easy it is to fake a hit of blotter? It’s literally a piece paper.

Know Your Limits - I had a friend who used to go crazy with Acid, taking waaay more than was necessary. One day he took an insane dose and got arrested because he was found groping women in the park. There’s a point with all drugs at which you lose control of yourself, your limit is well before that point. And with certain drugs, there is no chance to learn from your mistakes.

Don’t Do It Alone - Particularly with psychedlics, it’s good to have a trip-sitter, someone who is sober and can drive you around and make sure you don’t do anything too stupid. With rave drugs it’s also good to have someone in case you overheat, and again, to make sure you don’t do anything stupid.

Don’t Show Off - Nobody worth a shit cares how much booze you can drink, how many hits of acid you can eat, or how much weed you can smoke. If anything, they’ll shake their head at the total waste. And believe me, there is such a thing as too high

and most importantly DON’T TRY A DRUG UNLESS YOU FEEL READY TO TRY THE DRUG. Don’t ever let someone pressure you into taking something. Nobody else knows when it’s the right time for you, and being scared or filled with doubt will generally end up bad. A lot of people will try new things at concerts or festivals, which is very risky. I recommend testing yourself under a controlled situation before throwing yourself into a crowd of 30,000 people with a head full of chemicals you’re not familiar with.

Good post except for the first bit about molly. That’s……… that’s not how it works…

Don’t do drugs errybody. I’ve lost years of my life and multiple loved ones to them. There are way better ways to spend your time and money, I PROMISE. And if you are gonna do drugs, do your damn research and use as many harm
reduction methods as possible! Just because they are overly stigmatized in our society does not mean they can’t genuinely fuck your entire shit up.

Also, in the event of a serious disaster–a really bad reaction, an overdose, etc–DO call the paramedics and DO tell them whatever you can about what drugs were involved. The EMTs are not going to hand you over to the cops, but some drugs interact very badly with other necessary medical drugs, and some overdoses are treatable while others are limited supportive care (oxygen, etc). They are legally not permitted to call the cops on you. Please tell them what you know so that they know what they’re dealing with.

Anonymous asked: I have a question about Alleirat. You've mentioned that the society isn't advanced enough for HRT and such (yes I read your tags please don't shame me) is it because they have a heavier reliance on magic? So that the advances we've made with technology would be substituted with a magical alternative? Sorry for the bother,

My dude, I write more tag than post sometimes, far be it from me to shame you for reading my tags.

And yes, you are correct!  Alleirat isn’t very developed technologically speaking–they have gravity-driven indoor plumbing, but only a basic system, and clockwork (like…clocks for example, I guess), but it would just never occur to them to do something like build an internal combustion engine because they have magic to perform the same job.  Horses (as well as most other fauna) is stronger, more resilient, and longer-lived (also often bigger) due to the high concentration of magic in the world, so short-distance travel is easily accomplished either on foot or on horseback.  For long-distance travel (Alleirat as a continent is maybe a little smaller than Russia?), they have what they call kathen, or ‘gates’ (like a magic door, basically), which are controlled and manipulated by teams of specifically trained magic workers who literally cannot do other types of magic.  Kathen can’t transport large amounts of cargo because the opening can rarely be made larger than maybe a set of double doors, so shipments are often accomplished by sailing ships or overland caravans.

Medically speaking, again, they’re heavily reliant on magic.  A specific kind of magic worker called a flesh worker serves as a universal healer, but that does mean that there are some logistical limitations in comparison to our own medically advanced society.  A flesh worker can repair the damage from a sword wound to the chest or even kill a cancer with a thought, yeah, but the idea of an organ transplant, a limb reattachment, or even a blood transfusion just wouldn’t occur to them.  So a flesh worker (re: the HRT thing) might be able to increase one hormone or decrease another, but it would be a wicked precarious arrangement far less manageable than our medically accomplished version.  Likewise, a flesh worker might be able to perform the equivalent of top surgery (or, if you went to one of the less legal flesh workers, actually alter the bone structure of your face) but…there are a lot of limitations there.  Moreover, they don’t have the equipment to even start to approach some of this stuff–like, a flesh worker does all their healing with their bare hands, they don’t exactly keep sterile needles around for blood transfusion.

…I’ve put a reasonable amount of thought into this.

Anonymous asked: Brennth 13

…I 274% did not expect anyone to actually do this ask meme.

But yes!  Let’s do the thing!

13.  Which of the 7 Deadly Sins best describes them?

It’s a strong tossup between Wrath and Greed tbh.  

Wrath because…Brenneth is angry and she has been for eighteen years, since Crispin showed up in her forge with blood on his hands and an offer to come with him.  Brenneth is angry A Lot, there are days where she wakes up and the taste of fury is already on her tongue, and when they turn her loose to go back to battle, she is so, so grateful.  Her chest burns hotter every moment, and the magic of the white fire thrives off her anger.

Greed because Brenneth wants her world and her home and her smithy and her people and her city and her Crispin and her sword.  Brenneth looks at the world as being ‘mine’ and ‘not mine’ and all of Alleirat is hers and she spends fourteen years on Earth where her first thought of every morning and her last thought of every night is a greedy craving to stand in the Alleirai sun and look over the Talein Mountains and see the twin moons rise.  She wants to go home to Alleirat and she wants Crispin to be there with her, free and clear, and she couldn’t give less of a damn about the word ‘impossible.’  Fire is a greedy master.

She would not have called herself particularly wrathful nor particularly avaricious, back before the White Wolf.  She thinks of that girl as very naive.
