OKAY EVERYONE CUT CARE TIPS:

OKAY EVERYONE CUT CARE TIPS:

First off, what kind of cut are we dealing with? Is it an Epi? Styro? Beans?. I’ve only had experience PERSONALLY with the first two but I’m gonna relay tips for the others

General things you need:

Blood Rag; a rag that you can use to clean up/soak up blood or hold on the wound until it stops bleeding. NEVER use toilet paper or paper towels!!! This can break off in the wound and cause infections. Cut up an old shirt if you have to. if you can’t, use paper towels as a last resort. Always clean your Blood Rags before and after use. hydrogen peroxide and alcohol, rinse with water.

Topicals; this can be antibiotic ointments, wound cleaning spray, isopropyl alcohol. Try to have some antibiotic ointment on hand for general and sh use.

Bandages; to close or cover the wound. Bandaids work fine if it’s tiny, try not to get the adhesive on the wound. If it’s bigger try to get some gauze pads. Steri-strips are a need if you do beans.

CUT CARE FOR DIFFERENT CUTS:

Epis: clean with alcohol or hydrogen peroxide and rinse with water, put a bandaid on and ointment if you need. These are basically cat scratches and need the least amount of attention.

Styros: clean with hydrogen peroxide, it’s not as harsh as alcohol. Apply ointment, depending on size of styro use big bandage or small gauze pad.

Beans: clean the OUTSIDE with hydrogen peroxide, do not clean the inside of the wound! This can cause worse damage. Apply ointment/wound care supplies and use a steri-strip to close the wound. If you don’t have any, take a bandaid and put the adhesive on one side of the wound and pull as you put it on the other side. Use multiple to secure it. Cover with gauze pad if necessary.

Anything below: same as with beans but this time you need to go to the hospital. No you can’t let this heal on it’s own you need stitches.

And that’s it! I’ll update with more information and tips if needed.

Clint could’ve jumped off vormir tbh. If you had to choose between THE BLACK WIDOW or Hawkeye to live I’m pretty sure a good 90% of us would’ve chose black widow. Hawkeye is my nigga and all but the team could’ve survived without him.

i’m not doing bad enough to deserve or need help because i’m happy sometimes and i can usually function “normally”.

but i have cuts covering my arm and i’m eating badly.

but i shouldn’t be doing those things because i should be able to cope and i’m not doing that badly.

but i clearly can’t cope if i’m resulting to these negative coping mechanisms.

but i’m not like going to kms or anything.

but i wouldn’t be complaining if i didn’t wake up tomorrow.

IRON WIDOW DREAM CAST

Yesterday I finished Iron Widow, so since I can't stop thinking about it, here is my dream cast:

GAO YIZHI as Gong Jun

Baby beautiful, baby angel, baby perfect! Also, look at his heart eyes for Shimin and Zetian!

BONUS: EMPEROR QIN ZHENG as Luo Yuxin

I mean, let's embark baby!

[Iron Widow is an amazing book by @xiranjayzhao, if you still is committing the crime of not reading it: GO READ IT RIGHT KNOW!]

It is definitely not talked about enough!

Red Room

Everyone talks about how Tony was tortured in Afghanistan, and Bruce survived his abusive father. Steve was in the ice for seventy years, and Bucky was under the control of Hydra for so long.

And they all always talk about them and how sad their pasts are, how strong they are for surviving that, and they have PTSD because of it.

But for some reason, Natasha’s time in the Red Room is always glossed over.

To me, that is just so weird, because yes-being kidnapped, living with an abusive parent who murdered your mother, and forever trapped somewhere and your life just slips away because of it-that must be painful, awful, and would scar your life forever. But the Red Room…that must’ve been a living hell.

Natasha’s parents died in a fire created by the Red Room when she was just a little girl-probably between the ages of 6, or 8, and then she was kidnapped and taken away to something awful. Her life was ripped away from her before she even had a chance to live it.

She lived in a place where dreams, hopes, and freewill die. Where she was chained to a bed every night with 27 other girls who were also chained to a bed.

Natasha was trained to kill, to lie, to seduce. And that doesn’t come your own choice. She was brainwashed. They implanted false memories into her head so she wouldn’t even have a choice. For years, Natasha believed she was ballerina, learning to dance; the fact that entire time she thought was learning to pirouette, she was actually learning how to slit throats. Two sets of memories, and of them never even happened. The Red Room warped Natasha’s brain.

Seduce. Natasha learned how to seduce men. I’m guessing that was exactly a simple process either. Which means she was probably raped.

If you didn’t already know this; Natasha is enhanced. A less intense version of the super soldier serum; and if you’ve seen “Captain America” you know that the process isn’t exactly a pleasant process. And she most likely didn’t just have it one time, they probably also used other ways to enhance her, like surgery. To take unnecessary things out of her, to improve performance. For example, the appendix; what if it decided to burst in the middle of a mission, that would compromise her. They made Natasha sterile; something of value has no place in her line of work. Steve was given the super soldier serum to become a better soldier, Natasha was enhanced to becoming a killing machine, she was being dehumanized.

The Red Room is not made up of nice people. Natasha trained under them, but not of her own decision. So not only did they brainwash her, enhance her, and raper her; but they beat her, too. If she failed at something, they punished her; The Red Room literally battered Natasha into submission. They trained her to be the best of the best, the best assassin, the best spy, and that means she was ever kidnapped and someone wanted to get information out of her, they would probably use less friendly measures. The Red Room didn’t want that to happen; which means only one thing, training Natasha to have a higher threshold for pain. They physically tortured her, ever since she was just a little girl.

Natasha is the only Black Widow out of 28 girls. One by one, they all died, only leaving her. She killed some of them, snapped their necks, shot them. Others may have died at the hands of the trainers. Until only a few were left, and the Red Room pitted them against each other-like the Hunger Games-until there was only one left standing. Natasha is the only Black Widow out of 28 girls.

The Red Room is one of the most horrifying things in the MCU. And yes-there are many painful pasts that exist; Bruce’s, Tony’s, Steve’s, Bucky’s. But don’t ever forget Natasha’s.

She’s a freaking warrior with one too many scars for surviving it.
