Lady Rubaleene's Musings

i love my sister dearly. she’s awesome and we have a good relationship with one another. i really really want to see her and the rest of my siblings in heaven one day. one time she told me she wasn’t fully closed off to Jesus, that she believed in Him too, just not as the god she wants to worship.

please pray that while she’s away from these demonic items and temporarily in a Christian home that seeds will be planted in her. please pray that the Lord will reveal Himself to her through His Word, dreams and visions, and people she meets. please pray that she’ll decide to come to church with us at least one day, and maybe even read the bible with us. please pray that Jesus will convict her in her heart, and stir up her heart to create curiosity of Him. and please pray that the Lord will use my family and me to help reach her.

✧ Broken ribs suck. You don’t just “walk it off.” Breathing hurts. Laughing hurts. Existing hurts. Characters with rib injuries won’t be doing heroic sprints.

✧ Concussions aren’t instant naps. Dazed vision, nausea, dizziness, maybe even personality changes, but they’re not going to collapse neatly like in the movies.

✧ Blood loss is sneaky. It’s not just about dramatic pools of blood. It’s dizziness, confusion, and the body getting cold as circulation tanks.

✧ Adrenaline lies. Someone can take a serious injury and not feel it until the fight’s over. That “I didn’t realize I was bleeding until later” trope? Very real.

✧ Twisted ankles are brutal. One bad step and suddenly running is off the table. Even walking hurts like hell. Perfect way to ground a chase scene.

✧ Burns linger. Even small burns hurt more than most people expect. Blisters, infection risk, constant pain, it’s not just a cool scar later.

✧ Dislocated shoulders = useless arm. Characters can’t keep swinging a sword or firing a gun. They’re basically fighting one-armed until it’s fixed.

✧ Shock is a thing. Pale skin, trembling, rapid heartbeat, and eventually disorientation. A character might not even realize how bad their wound is.

✧ Stitches aren’t magic. Getting sewn up is painful and recovery takes time. They’re not instantly battle-ready after a needle and thread.
