[ID: Illustration of Simon from Iron Lung. He is covered in blood and mutating while gripping his left shoulder. Over his shoulder is thorny teeth coming out. His left arm is torn off with vine-like protrusions dripping blood, and wrapped around his wrist is the shattered talisman with the seed from the last tree. Above his head is text that says "I just want to live". END ID.]

pack it up boys we've made a social blunder

let's run that again

one more time normal style

I'm going to become a statistic

further proof god is out to get me

it's because I tore my acl senior year

I couldn't do it for religious reasons

my ex took my talent in the divorce

Personnal storyboard based on one of the most heartbreaking scene of @eldenring @fromsoftware_jp , the last fight with Blaidd the half-wolf… It took me months to do it aside work, and I don't have the energy to polish it, but here it is at last…!

oh.

would you look at that.

England’s King Charles II took medication made from human skulls after suffering a seizure, and, until 1909, physicians commonly used human skulls to treat neurological conditions.

huh.

Noble’s new book, Medicinal Cannibalism in Early Modern English Literature and Culture, and another by Richard Sugg of England’s University of Durham, Mummies, Cannibals and Vampires: The History of Corpse Medicine from the Renaissance to the Victorians, reveal that for several hundred years, peaking in the 16th and 17th centuries, many Europeans, including royalty, priests and scientists, routinely ingested remedies containing human bones, blood and fat as medicine for everything from headaches to epilepsy. There were few vocal opponents of the practice, even though cannibalism in the newly explored Americas was reviled as a mark of savagery. Mummies were stolen from Egyptian tombs, and skulls were taken from Irish burial sites. Gravediggers robbed and sold body parts.

Same source:

the poor, who couldn’t always afford the processed compounds sold in apothecaries, could gain the benefits of cannibal medicine by standing by at executions, paying a small amount for a cup of the still-warm blood of the condemned. “The executioner was considered a big healer in Germanic countries,” says Sugg. “He was a social leper with almost magical powers.” For those who preferred their blood cooked, a 1679 recipe from a Franciscan apothecary describes how to make it into marmalade.

pick up a familiar vibe……
