ok so sylvaina political marriage au. they both agree to unite their factions and bring peace. its supposed to just be an political arrangement, but they keep spending time with each other and bonding over things they find annoying about their situation. and they keep…making each other laugh. and, they didnt move to separate beds after that first night and they have, chats. it wasnt supposed to be like this
first wedding night + when the tension builds so much, it has to be confronted
Here is my cover for G. I. Joe A Real American Hero one-shot issue, stores in January 2019! The story is featured Snake Eyes aka Dawn Moreno! Written by Larry Hama, edited by Tom Waltz and art by me, plus other special guests, published from IDW Publishing @idwcomics. ! I’m so excited to announce this news!
anyway with regards to the opioid addiction crisis y’all really need to learn the difference between reliance and addiction, because they’re not the same.
I am reliant on opiate painkillers the same way I am reliant on my epilepsy medication: I take a set amount twice a day in order to function normally. my condition is not curable. physio will not fix it. I do not experience any highs from my painkillers, but I do experience less pain.
this differs vastly to addiction, where the amount you take is not set, may be beyond the safe dose. It will likely cause withdrawal symptoms if stopped abruptly, as well as harming your body due to the large doses ingested.
this is why it’s terrifying to hear that restrictions are going to be tightened to the extent that it will be almost impossible to get.
that kind of “reform” will only push people -reliant and addicted alike – to get it from non – official sources, where you don’t know what the fuck is in there. it will make actual addicts less safe and reliant people forced to live in agony.
the way to treat this “epidemic” is to invest in addict help schemes, rehab centres, and offer a variety of pain management systems, not this stupid blanket ban style thing that politicians are saying for brownie points.
guess that isn’t as profitable though hm.
If people want a great real world example as to what tightening restrictions of opioids would look like. Look no farther than HRT meds for trans folk.
I’ve been taking HRT to the best of my ability for my adult life, it wasn’t until last year was I able to do it with a prescription. Before services like Planned Parenthood in “Informed Consent” states became a thing, I relied on black/grey market HRT, purchased from sketchy websites (or off the back of a truck before the internet). The sheer amount of gatekeeping of HRT causes many trans people to go to black market sources (or worse off, end their own lives, due to lack of access).
This is going to happen to people who’re opioid reliant, I can guarantee it. It’s going to move to the black market, and there will be people who will die because they are unable to even access those black market sources.
Oh yeah, it’s a thing here in Ohio. Some of the most WTF moments come from shit like that. There was a manager for a chain adult toy store who was super-religious and was homo/transphobic.
