here’s a piece for @voltronfantasyzine, which ended up falling through. big shout out to the other contributors for stepping up and organizing a group posting so we can still share our works! you guys are the real mvps go check out the Ao3 collection for all the amazing fics that were supposed to be in the zine as well!
This is not a drill, repeat, this is not a drill—we are rolling out reblog controls across web and iOS, starting today.
How does it work?
When drafting a post, select the settings cog in the top right corner of your post editor. From here, you can choose one of two options.
“Anyone (on Tumblr)” means just that.
“No one” means that your post cannot be reblogged by anyone, ever.
Why?
Your wish is our command. Many of you have told us this feature would give you a welcome sense of safety. If you block someone after the post was made, don’t worry—they still can’t reblog it. This change gives you control over your own posts, and so will improve your posting experience. Ultimately, better posting means a better Tumblr. And finally, don’t worry, Android users. The feature will follow on your platform soon.
That’s all, folks. Happy reblogging!
Any questions? Drop us a line on @wiporSupport, and keep an eye out for the mobile rollout on@changes.
I write a lot of fantasy/Medieval whump, so in that vein lets talk Things Low-Tech/Medieval/Fantasy Healers Might Do When Checking A Sick Patient That Don’t Require Modern Medical Equipment Or Terminology But Gives The Vibe That They Know What They’re Doing:
Feel their pulse (in the wrist, the side of their neck, or even a temple)
Check their forehead for a fever
Listen to their chest/back (you can hear rattling or crackling in the lungs of someone with a lung infection such as bronchitis or pneumonia)
Tapping their back behind each lung (likewise - an inflamed lung will sound congested and less hollow than a healthy one)
Feel for swollen glands behind their ears
Gently feel for any swelling or tightness along their stomach
On that note, gently pressing on an are of pain in the stomach area (to test for appendicitis)
Get them to open their mouth to look down their throat
Check their eyes for redness, light sensitivity, yellowing, or dilated pupils
Check them for a rash, especially the torso, behind the ears, and along their forehead (measles rash usually starts near the ears and along the hairline, scarlet fever begins on the trunk and spreads to the rest of the body; chicken pox I think just sort of appears all over though idk)
Check if their skin is flushed or jaundiced
Tap along their cheekbones - if this causes pain they may have a sinus infection
I’m not a medical professional and this is ONLY for writing purposes, also this is all based on a variety of medical information I’ve read in books and online but as I said I am not a professional just someone with a weird obsession, feel free to fact check me - or add your own
