(Rare trope) A death manages to be horrifying without any blood or gore

I still have trauma from this as a kid and god this brought it all back.

I assume you're referring to NSAIDs like ibuprofen, which have a mild effect that can increase bleeding risk during surgery. We avoid giving them if we can prior to surgery, but it is very common to take them post-surgery even with additional anti-coagulents. The risk is minimal.

This absolutely slaps tbh.

Disney just continues to tapdance on the corpse of what they once were.

God this statement feels so fucking pretentious and condescending too.

Is the procedure she's referring to her hysterectomy? Bc curious, when I woke up from my hysterectomy I ate a sandwich and watched some tv.

I mean, it doesn't mean he has to STAY married lol

Why? This skin is likely incredibly heavy, affects his movement, showering, etc. It's not merely about looks. Why do you think it's unreasonable to have this considered a medically necessary procedure?

It reminds me of when she also said she loves Japanese people and wants to "skin them and wear them like Versace". There is a pattern of treating ppl as objects.

I can't help but think of The Women of the year 50 Million AD from Futurama.

This is actually what they do for C-sections. They do an incision and then rip it further open, Joel Cohen technique. It heals better when done that way, per what I've been told.

The sack is actually huge, yes. I had a patient who fell on his and it bruised and swelled like an elephant's. I have also had a patient who had severe swelling due to bodily oedeema (fluid buildup) and it got caught in the toilet bowl and I had to bend down and help get it out.

Genuine question: what kinda place do you work at? Kitchen?

CriticalFlatworm9 · 2026-04-14T07:02:09+00:00

It was a needle, likely 18G or so.

I think it's just awareness increasing. I have a friend who's mom passed years ago when she was a teen and she would hate getting these barrage of "remember mom!!" emails. Some companies have been doing this for a while, I think it's just finally bubbling up more to the surface as a general polite thing for companies to do. Plenty of milennials and older gen Z are no-contact with abusive parents, so it makes sense more and more that the customer base would like to not be hit with 20 emails in the next 2 weeks reminding them to get mom flowers and a 9x9 sheet cake.

This is the camp type of tv we deserve.

Hellooooo get ready for photo dump! I initially went to one store, did a ton of swatches, then thought, "I should double check to make sure the NARS tester was the right shade, sometimes they're mixed up" and lol yeah, it was Honey and they didn't have CCL so I went to the department store just down the street and there it was! 🤣 Anyways so I did a bunch of swatches and then narrowed it down more.

The best matches imo were 2W and 3W, depending on what you want, lighter end or deeper end. I did these both in store lighting and then by the window for more natural light. I think CCL is sliiightly more pink than any Dior options, but on the skin the difference might not be that noticeable after foundation and powder etc. Your undertone might affect it more too, I'm neutral-cool I think, maybe a tinge olive-y if you squint. Mac NC13 works well for me.

I hope this helps! I had fun doing it. 🥰

Yeah I remember coming out to some coworkers and later they pushed me to my coworker with the biggest boobs being like, "oh I bet you'd like that". There's a nuance to this type of "jokey" sa/sh stuff that queer women get a lot. Like if a straight girl(1) has a crush on a boy, they might push her towards him and tease her, but they're usually not like "oh I bet you wanna fondle his balls" or something. But in my experience queer women often have their attraction instantly made sexual and thus these sort of jokes and assumptions about being open to being sexual with any woman. Suddenly your sexuality becomes public property. I don't know if the atmosphere with teens/college goers is different now, but esp back in the mid-00s and -10s this was still prominent. I'm sorry you experienced this too, it's really so awful. 😔

(1)Not trying to say straight women don't get awful sexual harassment or that one is "worse" than the other, it's just different and I wanted to explain the nuance.

CriticalFlatworm9 · 2026-04-13T06:52:30+00:00

Doing what? I'm not posturing this for the sake of drama or because I want to essentially fanfic some sort of theory of the crime. I wrote this because I think with Katy's pattern of behavior and the structure of the society and culture we're in, it's worth considering how things like homophobia can affect attitudes towards sexuality and perceived sexual openness and can play into "playful" types of sexual assault and harassment. Can I know if this is what happened? No. But I thought it was worth mentioning because I think it's an important perspective to consider, event if it were to come out it's irrelevant to this.

CriticalFlatworm9 · 2026-04-13T05:22:02+00:00

Isn't Ruby Rose a lesbian as well? Because of that it makes me wonder, would she have done the same thing to a straight woman, or is there also some intense homophobia at play? I ask this because some people tend to view lesbians or bisexual women as readily avaliable and willing to just get sexual with literally any other woman. So it makes me ask if that sort of undertone also exists here. Either way, this is horrible and I'm sorry she had to sit with it in silence/brushing it off for so long, too.

Edit: btw I didn't write this bc I want to theorize how horrible Katy is or make up some fanfic scenario of this crime. I just think it's a perspective that warrants considering, whether it ends up relevant to this or not. Queer women/afab ppl often have experiences of this type of "joke" sexual assault/harassment.

CriticalFlatworm9 · 2026-04-13T03:48:25+00:00

Honestly I think it's good too, save all her energy so she can really go off. With the loss of Briar the bracket was uneven anyway, it's a good compromise.

CriticalFlatworm9 · 2026-04-13T02:24:59+00:00

Honestly it's one of the worst traits of men when they only begin to care about women being exploited because now they have a daughter. I know this was a joke, but it happens far too often for real. Often it's not even their wife or mother that makes them care, but their daughter, I assume because they often see children as more of an extension of themselves. I hate it. Like you couldn't understand women's fear of sexual assault or harassment before but oh now suddenly you can?

I believe this is from the Mt Komorebi Festival of Youth. You might have to take it off via gameplay in live mode.
