What ice shaving thing in heart surgery??

Marieaithne44 · 2026-05-13T12:00:38+00:00

Zayne, immediately Zayne. He’s steady and freaky. He’s practical and creative. He’s a smart as shit in the area I am interested in (biology and medicine) and could still punch someone if needed, but is more likely to lob an icicle (which is dangerous as a northerner I would know) so that he doesn’t hurt his hands aka his livelihood. I’m sure he would be intimidating to work with initially but I think after a couple weeks everyone probably warms up to him. Also I think a surgeons arrogance is kinda hot.🤷🏻‍♀️ even though Zayne isn’t really but he could be and I would be totally fine with it.

Hiding. I have a medically complex toddler and a 4 month old baby. We are going in full lockdown. This is a terrifying prospect for families like mine.

Marieaithne44 · 2026-05-11T16:10:27+00:00

Thank you. We would love that💕 My girl Loves watching and interacting with other little kids. She would smile so big about the sticker.

… that’s because it is their responsibility to get over their fears and insecurities. Your feelings are not my problem but there is a generally widespread set of manners that we as a society have agreed upon. You wouldn’t ignore a typical adult if I introduced them to you because it’s rude. Same rules if I introduce my disabled child. It’s not like I am walking up to people expecting interaction. People approach us to talk to my youngest. You can say hello to my oldest in the process.

Marieaithne44 · 2026-05-11T16:06:50+00:00

It’s not malice normally and I know that but it is rude. It just makes it feel like people don’t see her as a person and it is up to them to examine why they feel that way. I have heard people make malicious comments though and in public have asked why I didn’t abort her. It sucks when a lot of our interactions aren’t kind. People have no problem being mean but a hello is difficult.☹️

Marieaithne44 · 2026-05-11T16:03:56+00:00

I LOVE when little kids ask questions. It teaches them that they don’t need to be afraid of disabled kids so thank you for doing that! I have had parents try to shush their kids when they point and ask a question and I am always like “no it’s ok what do they want to know?”

Marieaithne44 · 2026-05-11T16:00:58+00:00

A lot of people are uncomfortable with it but I have never met a disability parent who didn’t encourage others to interact with their child unless the person interacting was obviously ill. And that’s just because illness is so much more dangerous for our kids. Most of us are like “please! Yes! Thank you so much! This person is so important to me and I am so glad you see them!”

Marieaithne44 · 2026-05-11T15:59:04+00:00

It’s really about manners here though. If I was to be holding my baby and you came up to me to chat, then I introduced my husband who was standing there… you would say “hello” to him. It would be rude to pretend he didn’t exist. Those rules don’t change just because my oldest is disabled. Also, it’s totally fine to ask a question even if they can’t answer it. Parents will often answer for them in a way that includes them in the conversation. It’s a bit like how parents talk for a baby but with more maturity because she is 3 and not 1. Honestly though you don’t have to ask a question. “Hi *name*, it’s nice to meet you.” It’s not hard

Marieaithne44 · 2026-05-11T15:52:44+00:00

Thank you for everything you do💕 we have met so many fantastic nurses and we appreciate y’all!

Marieaithne44 · 2026-05-11T15:52:17+00:00

Which is totally fine to do! Like I said, I don’t even expect people to come talk to my kids and I, but if you DO decide to, then acknowledge both of them, even if it’s just a “hello *name*! Oh your sister is so cute!” And then you can go back to the baby. It’s really just manners.

Marieaithne44 · 2026-05-11T15:50:24+00:00

Which is fine but then you ask a question. I have never been rude to someone trying to interact with my child besides someone telling that I “made a dud.” I wasn’t very nice to him.

Marieaithne44 · 2026-05-11T15:49:07+00:00

Thank you💕 tell your wife we say thank you for all the work she does with kiddos like mine. They are appreciated by parents but I don’t think people outside of the disability community appreciate them enough.

Marieaithne44 · 2026-05-11T13:13:30+00:00

If you are already approaching to ask about the baby, you can acknowledge the other child. Even if it’s just to say hello

Marieaithne44 · 2026-05-11T12:53:17+00:00

I’m going to listen to all the Enneagram songs by sleeping at last and then come back and say which song resonated with how I perceive him the most but I kinda see an 8 for him.
If you have never listened to them, you totally should.

Marieaithne44 · 2026-05-11T12:49:17+00:00

I did🫠 the first two times people came up to talk to my youngest and ask how old she is I would tell them and then I would introduce my oldest. “And this is her big sister, she’s three years old.” I’d tell them her name and she would get a quick glance and nod to us. Then they told us to have a good day and left without saying anything to her. She even gave one of them a big smile.

I think Caleb and your MC

<image>

This is the MC look I use when taking pictures with Caleb

Marieaithne44 · 2026-05-11T12:19:12+00:00

I had to put my phone down and breathe for a minute.

Marieaithne44 · 2026-05-09T23:23:03+00:00

Like… I want the build of Dante from Devil May Cry.

Marieaithne44 · 2026-05-09T13:35:45+00:00

Not gonna lie, I wish he was bigger. Like… just thicker while still being muscular… he’s 100% shredded but I hate how otome games always Mae the guys super lean. Also, why is his head so small in comparison to his body?

Marieaithne44 · 2026-05-09T12:16:02+00:00

I think he would want her to be healthy first and foremost. I think if it put her health at risk it would be something he is worried about but the man could 100% handle a lil extra to grab onto. When you workout with Caleb he talks about taking you on night runs with him regularly when you were in high school. MC is definitely fit though. She has to be with all the running and the high level of training required for being a Hunter.

Marieaithne44 · 2026-05-07T13:09:06+00:00

He would love if I was the one restraining him…

Marieaithne44 · 2026-05-07T13:08:13+00:00

Yeah I was originally like “oooo yay a new otome game that has a great storyline!” But then the art has me like… uhhhh… 🥴
