I Desperately Need Post Canon Shinanigans With Those Three

so…a few things about the statement in magp 22:

kinda curious about the patient. it’s said that he has a deformity in his skull (my best guess is either he was born with it or it’s an injury, esp considering ww1 ended not that long ago) but i doubt that matters at all

also, the occipital lobe “plays a crucial role in language and reading, storing memories, recognizing familiar places and faces, and much more” (okay Stranger)

real-life Hans Berger performed the first ever eeg (“reading brain waves”) in 1924

he became interested in neurology bc he believed in phychic powers and mind reading:

the part about him writing to dr. Canton seems completely legit, and he was married to Ursula, cool

unfortunately, he was affiliated with the nazi (and specifically supportive of eugenics), being on the comittee that decided which (of the ‘feeble-minded’ and the likes) would get sterilized

and he also died by suicide

none of which is probably going to be relevant later, but, hey, learning is fun

the spiral domain but its the girls&their term paper

One of my favorite ORV headcanons is that TWSA has as much practical living advice as it does the metaphorical.

There's a 3-page long description of lsh dressing and bandaging yjh's wounds in the early rounds, intimately describing all the bruises and cuts and scrapes and the way they were handled. Kdj saw this as a humanizing moment for yjh and shipping fuel, but the next day he gets beat up by bullies and decided to dress his wounds himself since the school nurse isn't around (and they were getting tired of him anyway). It's sloppy and he had to rebandage himself after it unravelled, but it prevented an infection, and he got better over time.

In another chapter, yjh notices ljh having panic attacks in the middle of battle and teaches her a few tricks to steady your breathing and center herself faster as part of combat training. The description feels like text you'd see in a training handbook and completely breaks any sense of pacing. Kdj remembers it the next time he has one and was able to calm himself down before his relatives find him and punish him like they did before.

There was a chapter that came out around the time kdj was job hunting, where the party gets tangled in a subscenario involving securing a position through interviews. It felt contrived even with kdj's tolerance to TWSA shenanigans, but he takes note of what everyone does anyway and tries some of them in his job interviews. He comments that some of the actions felt unrealistic with his own experiences in job interviews; tls123 replied with a lighthearted apology (she's never had to bother with interviews, and she doubts she'll ever get to; she's grateful that it was still useful.)

In yet another chapter, yjh avoids the eyes of fellow incarnations and picks his words correctly in a game of three questions with nosy constellations. They were oddly dry and mundane for an apocalypse setting with superhuman powers. Kdj remembers them the next time he spots paparazzi lurking around the corners.

A chapter has yjh instructing knw, ljh and yma on how to make do with instant ramyun and add a few things to it to keep it somewhat nutritious (yjh isn't happy about it but it's the least he can do since they're gonna split for a multi-day scenario and he can't cook for them). Kdj remembers it when he tried to make ramyun for the first time in his new place after moving out of his relatives'. He remembers curling his hand to chop the scallions because knw got scolded for improper knife handling, and he remembers when to put in the egg because ljh got sternly corrected for confidently shouting out the wrong answer. Kdj didn't injure himself, and it was the fanciest and most delicious meal he ate in a while. (He remembers yjh patting his sister's head for getting everything right, and almost brings his own hands to his head before stopping; no one's gonna praise a college student for making ramyun right.)

(Kim Dokja, rereading TWSA over and over again in the train, feels the love and has no idea what to do with it.)

Ukraine Donation Guide Master Post

Multi-Purpose

United 24 has various fundraisers dedicated to defense and drones, medical aid, rebuilding Ukraine, humanitarian demining, and science and education. You can pick which one you want to contribute to under their various projects.

Liberty Ukraine uses funds for humanitarian aid, medical supplies, protective gear and equipment, and rehabilitation therapy. You can choose which campaign of theirs to donate to.

Come Back Alive is a charitable foundation that supports Ukraine's military with competent assistance while also focusing on security and defense. They also have projects that use sports to help veterans rehabilitate. You can choose which campaign to donate to.

Serhiy Prytula Charity Foundation works to help both civilians and Ukraine's army. You can choose to donate to an active project or any of their general campaigns. Civilian aid campaigns cover temporary housing, supporting crisis and emergency responses, schools, demining, and healthcare. Military aid campaigns cover drones, optics units, communications equipment, and support of air defense teams.

Food Aid

World Central Kitchen works with local partners wherever they are providing food aid. They make sure meals and meal kits are what the local population eats. Even though there is no separate fundraising campaign for Ukraine (that I can see), they still do great work.

Animal Rescue

Hachiko Foundation works to help displaced pets and strays in frontline areas. They help with veterinary care, outdoor shelters, setting up feeding stations, and rehoming animals..

feeling like a dumbass bc it took me until now (and going through a few s5 transcripts) to connect tmapg Celia to the Celia from Melanie and Georgie’s cult (who also gave a statement about a burning ghost woman)

it actually bugged me how particular they were about her (and other people in the tunnels tbh) and just feels good to know it wasn’t for nothing, yk

Well... um... the magnus protocol sure is a podcast

they don’t use tumblr, so:

“This is schedule for how long I will have electricity tomorrow. White squares -

electricity on, grey squares - 50/50, but usually means no electricity, black ones - 100% no electricity. So only 4 hours for my home. And this is “Electrician”, 1915 by Oleksandr Bohomazov.”

by ukr_arthistory on twt

trying to study, work, cook, do laundry and not die of heatstroke (a/cs overload the power systems) in 4 hours, frequently interrupted by air raids is a harsh reality here in Ukraine

please, consider supporting: back and alive, prytula foundation or hospitaliers, if you are financially capable (even like 1€ will matter a lot)

took a break from listening to wtnv awhile back just because it stopped making sense to me (not the lore obv just…the words, somehow) just to turn around and start camp here and there a few weeks later

tried to depersonalise enough to start the day and may have girlbossed too close to the (proverbial) sun
