Some bcs screenshots, this show changed my life

Trying my hand at turning some of my fic scenes into comic panels. This is the beginning of chapter two of “As the Crow Flies” (which…hasn’t been posted yet as of me sharing this).

I feel like I hit my stride halfway through making this, but overall I’m actually pretty stoked! I shy away from backgrounds so often. I’m forcibly conquering my fear.

Heat Intolerance

This disability pride month I'd like to talk about heat intolerance. Because honestly although it's not the first health issue that presented symptoms in my life. It was the first time I was like "I don't think my body works right".

And honestly given disability pride month is during one of the hottest months in the year. It seems fitting. Especially because there's a lot of disabilities and medications that cause it.

What is heat intolerance?

Simply speaking it's the inability for the body to regulate it's temperatures especially in hot settings to cool itself down.

Why is awareness important?

Because gaslighting people or worse not providing them a place to cool down just because you "feel fine" is extremely fucking dangerous.

What are the medicines that can cause heat intolerance?

Antihistamines (Allergy medications) . Decongestants (Sudafed or any medication that has the D at the end of it). Stimulants (ADHD medications. Steroids. Caffeine.) Beta-blockers (blood pressure medications). Overactive bladder treatment. Psychiatric medications (including but not limited to medications for depression and anxiety). Pain relievers. Antibiotics.

What medical conditions can cause heat intolerance?

EDS (Elhers-Danlos syndrome). Autism. ADHD. Migraines. Brain/spinal-cord injury. Sensory processing disorder. Chronic fatigue syndrome. Endocrin problems. POTS. Menopause. Hypothyroidism. Diabetes. Heart Disease. Multiple sclerosis. Obesity. Mental health disorders.

What should I do if I suspect I have heat intolerance?

Reduce time outside during hot months. Keep your electrolytes up. Drink plenty of water. Stay out of the sun whenever possible if outside. Be aware of the symptoms of heat exhaustion and heat stroke.

Clothes that are best worn for heat intolerance. Loose lightweight breathable fabrics. Natural fibers. Long sleeves that protect from sunburn as sunburns will increase your risk. Light clothes that reflect light. Wide brimmed hats that shade the face and neck.

Cool. So what are those symptoms I'm supposed you be looking for?

Headaches. Excessive fatigue. Mood changes. Muscle cramping or weakness. Nausea/ vomiting. Rapid heartbeat. Excessive sweating or not sweating at all.

When should I do to the doctor?

If you suspect you have heat intolerance you can go to your PCP to discuss what medications you may be on and what you can do about it. Otherwise, please go to the emergency room if you have symptoms of heat stroke.

This is good information and all but why are you making this post?

To raise awareness. Not just for the people that have it but weren't aware of what it was called. But for all of the idiots that tried to gaslight me when I was in school because I was like "I don't think this is normal. Every time we do our mile run outside I vomit all over the place but other kids aren't doing that."

Also because people always blame me for over heating if I wear long sleeves or pants. I always like to take notes from what people in the middle east wear because they literally live in the excessive heat and spend long hours in the excessive heat. Often in clothing that covers most of their body. They've gotta know what they're doing, right?

I have some type of xenophobic comment about why people from the middle east cover up

Shut the fuck up 😊

I love seeing people’s first contact with this game

the real ship I'm inventing is Carlotta/Ysolda. LISTEN. They run their businesses together. Ysolda is a good step mom to Mila. They cook together at the inn and at home. They spent time with the Caravans and learn new recipes. Ri'saad tries to do a whole "I Am A Father Figure" thing to Carlotta but as a mother she is already able to go "lol try it fucker ^^" and he thinks that's great. Mikael dies.

Sorry for the tremendous spoiler if you haven't seen the series yet

personally I am a fan of the headcanon that dunmer fire resistance = ungodly levels of spice tolerance. just eating the tamriel equivalent of like ghost peppers and shit straight faced.

conversely, irl cats cannot process capsaicin so I think it would be funny if khajiit are the biggest babies when it comes to spicy food. sniffs 1 jalapeño and makes the stinky face

If I had a nickel for every time I developed a crush on a man who used to be a Daedric Prince cultist then turned into a priest for one of the Nine Divines, I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it’s happened twice.

I have nothing finished to post so Vehk WIP
