Not a real Doctor

- It’s not as scary as it seems. You’ll be awake one minute, preparing for top surgery and be awaking up after top surgery (wondering if it really happened) the next.

- Chamomile tea and Benadryl can both help with itchiness after top surgery.

- You should not take T for a week after top surgery.

- Do not use icepacks or hot packs after top surgery (as they can destroy the healing skin).

- Bendy straws are your friend.

- You will probably need someone to help you sit up and lay down.

- Rest the first two days after top surgery, even if you don’t feel like you need to, you will thank yourself later.

- You can ask as many questions as you want. Getting top surgery is going to effect the rest of your life so you should ask any and all questions you have. You can also request certain specifications done to your chest.

- Drains may seems scary but they prevent some of the swelling and they promote healing. After your drains are out a lot of your pain goes away but the drains are definitely worth it.

- Always have someone with you for 24 hours after your surgery.

- The ace bandages that you have to wear after top surgery will feel a bit tight but won’t hurt nearly as much as binding.

- It might be hard to get on and off of high beds and chairs so make sure you have a step stool handy.

- Use pillows to prop yourself up.

- You have to sleep on your back after top surgery and should do so for 3 months if you get nipple grafts (the recommended time for sleeping on your back varies depending on who you ask but I still recommend 3 months just to be careful).

- After top surgery you should not lift your elbow above your shoulder for a few weeks (usually 6) or until you are healed.

- After top surgery you can not lift any more then five pounds (for about six weeks).

- Buy some button up/zip up shirts that are a couple sizes too big for you. You’ll need these to go over your drains.

- Shave your armpits before top surgery. The hair will get in the way of your bandages and possibly the surgeon while preforming surgery if you don’t.

- Go around the place you will be staying after top surgery with “T-rex” arms to see what maybe a problem for you after surgery and find a solution to it before you get home. (Ex. if you have to reach far into your sink to wash your hands it may be best to get a washbasin). 

- If your results aren’t perfect they can always be revised. 

- If your nipples are smaller then you’d like them to be, or oval when you want them to be round then you can always get a tattoo artist to tattoo around the outside of them to fix those imperfections. You can also get your nipples tattooed on instead of the nipple grafts.

- The nipple grafts require three weeks of dressings after surgery while the rest of your chest does not need nearly as much work.

- Your chest won’t look great after top surgery but over time it will look a lot better. They recommend waiting at least 3 months to a year after your surgery to get revisions. 

- You might be really nauseous after top surgery and you might not be able to eat normal foods right away. Get some sourdough bread and ginger ale the day before your top surgery and allow the ginger ale to flatten just in case you can’t eat normal food.

- Have someone to talk to about what you are going through really helps.

Simon Harrington (@dyson-the-vacuum) vs. Finch (@miketon)

111. Simon Harrington (@dyson-the-vacuum)

he/him

Simon is the single father of like, nine kids. Went the mad scientist route and achieved immortality via pact with dead god and has the most badass looking scar you have ever seen. He created an off brand SCP Foundation just because he could. I could go on for years about this man. I made a villain and woobified him myself.

Simon is roughly 5'4", he has black wavy hair that comes down to his shoulders. His eyes are heterochromatic, the right being green while the left is blue. Unfortunately this is hard to see, as he has a large and deep scar across his right eye that reaches from his forehead to the base of his neck. He wears the traditional sexyman suit when he's not being a mad scientist. When he is, he wears traditional mad scientist clothes. His design is sometimes inconsistent, but that description has all of the consistencies. As you'll probably see in the images, his scar was only across his cheek and seemed to be stitched, and his outfit changes sometimes.

112. Finch (@miketon)

She/her

Finch is my BABYGIRL she's soo pathetic and traumatized. What if SHE'S doomed by the narrative. She had a bestie but then she exploded her bestie with fireworks while under the influence of a fucked up disease that made her worship hell and now her ex bestie hates her. She had a wife but then her wife suddenly divorced Finch and told her she never loved her, and Immediately Died Afterwards before Finch had the time to process anything. Also she has issues with BOTH her parents !! Now Finch has to deal with her wife being dead, her bestie hating her, her girldad trying to kill her, AND a lot of guilt from while she was infected with hell worship disease!!!! Shes my babygirl im obsessed with her. also shes a minecraft OC. AND shes a lesbian

Finch has pale skin and short ginger hair tied up in a bun. She has scars on her face and right hand from the Nether infection. She typically wears a plain dark red hoodie and black pants. She has bright cyan eyes, which were clouded while she was infected, but are bright and clear again now that she's been cured. Her design is kind of plain but I think her story makes up for it <3

art is one my partner did of her !!!! credit it not me for that

Spotlight „Light“ Baker  (@spotlightstudios) vs. Gears Brightworth (@angeldrawsstuffs)

69. Spotlight „Light“ Baker  (@spotlightstudios)

They/them

Guys, gonna be real w/ you... Light started as a one-off character for a visual novel self-insert, but now? This bad boy can fit so many aus in it! *Slaps roof of car* They've got the one where they were an AI too good at magic in an mmorpg so they got put in gay baby jail for op npcs. They've got the one where they're just some normal schmuck that took a job at the Five Nights at Freddy's Pizza Plex and befriends everyone through their social anxiety swag (that one's for you, DCA fandom!). Then there the one I'm making right now where they're a love interest visual novel style and they flirt and make explosive potions for you to throw at your enemies :D.

Anyways yeah... honestly just my favorite lil guy that I figured I'd throw into the mix. (Best of luck y'all!)"

They're usually depicted as a fair-skinned humanoid w/ slightly pointed ears. Their eyes are thin and they have vibrant teal/blue pupils. Piercings line their ears and they have one through their lower lip. The hair is fluffy/curly, with the sides cut shorter than the rest, and color-wise it's naturally brown, but it's dyed a gradient of orange to yellow. Normally they're wearing some sort of crop-top and baggy pants, with belts hanging from their hip holding various brightly-colored potion bottles. Along their back is an intricate tattoo that covers a few scars from various accidents. Their entire body is actually covered in subtle burn scars due to mishaps in potion-making, but they usually conseal them or they fade after prolonged treatment w/ other magical remedies.

70. Gears Brightworth (@angeldrawsstuffs)

He/Him

Gears is a robot built back in the 1800s who was never finished by his original creators before their untimely demise, however, he was found by their daughter over a decade later and brought to life by her and his mysterious and rare crystalline power source. Also he’s just a funky lil robot trying to figure out the world and not get vivisected (again-)!

Gears is a tall copper robot with short, brown hair, a green, tailed coat and vest, khakis, and brown, tall boots.

apparently i have polls now lol

There's no real way to measure how much pain someone is in. Or how fatigued they are. It's about discrediting the villain. Not only are they woke, but they're a benefits cheat! Faking illness because they're too lazy to work.
