Throwback thursday to when I was like 12 and I was putting out new writing DAILY...... Like entire Chapters of my then-current wips just, over an afternoon. What the fuck was I on
Nobody:
Me, age 12, just started drinking coffee:

I drew 14 pictures during the day, and wrote 32 pages a night. Now I canโt do shit.
A huge part of this is because you've gotten better! And now, when you're drawing/writing/doing whatever creative task, you're not just mindlessly throwing thoughts at your paper, you're thinking as you do it. Children can churn out a lot more work because it's not yet refined, but when you're older and have more practice, you work with all these thoughts running through your head about form and shape, color palettes or word choice. Now, you're making a dozen decisions with every moment of work, and you're also questioning the decisions you've just made, wondering if you can do it better. Don't beat yourself up about producing less work now than you did back then, because every sentence or shape involves a lot more effort for you now, than it did when you were ten and brand new to this hobby.
Also you have a job now and the never-ending bullshit that is laundry and dishes and feeding yourself.

worst part about getting angry is how much it makes you want to be mean
sorry i said something dickish. a few mildly frustrating things happened to me in succession and it turned me evil
...I was on guarantee, this wasn't a surprise. What was a surprise, though, was getting her at 23 pity! First 10 pull, bay-beee~
So I decided to try my luck on her weapon. You know. Like a chump. Because now I had some pulls in reserve.
68 pity later, and I am a FOOL.
I should have known-- I should have known. I always get bows!! orz
Okay, okay. I can redeem this, I thought. I don't have Lyney. Heck, my only pyro archer is Amber! I can try for Lyney!
...I don't know what I expected, but I'm all out of primos now.
#Genshin Impact#adventures in gacha#aka don't do it kids#I did over 100 pulls#when I could have stopped at 10#that's c4 Jean now#gunna rival my c5 Keqing and Diluc soon#STOP and give me Dehya insteadddd just one!!#guess whose weapons banner streak is screwing her over? THIS gal!#I counted-- my last 5 weapons were pushing hard pity#...this is karma for me laughing about my 5 weapons BEFORE that being in the green and yellows#but also!! Genshin!! Stop!! Giving!! Me!! Bows!!!!!
โit sounds like youโre justifying their actions-โ i am. theyโre a fictional character. iโm okay with anything they do all the time. hope this helps.

classification of fractures (source: merck manual)
A bit of help for writers using this as a reference!
NOT ALL OF THESE ARE ALWAYS APPLICABLE. Fractures are about energy passing through a brittle medium, so please be aware that not all fractures can happen from all circumstances. Some, like spiral fractures, are also fucking tragic.
- Transverse fractures. These are quite common, though not as common as oblique fractures, and are due to a long bone like a humerus or tibia being impacted by a small, single point somewhere along their length. This is a relatively low-energy fracture, meaning it doesnโt happen in high-force, high-impact, high-speed collisions. This is a common break during a low-speed car accidents and when falling off a wall from a low height, for example.
- Oblique fractures. Same as the above, but the impact angle can come from more than just head-on. These are more common than transverse breaks because the bones generally break more easily down a grain angle.
- Spiral fractures. These are also called โtwist fracturesโ or โtorsion fracturesโ. They occur when a limb, especially the leg, gets violently twisted past the point where the bone essentially starts to splinter away from itself, resulting in a spiralling crack that runs around the length of the bone and then snaps it in half. Theyโre only caused by twisting, and as a result they are quite rare. Iโve also highlighted them in red because I want people to know: please donโt use these in your fiction unless youโre trying to convey a point, because one of the most common ways in which they happen is child abuse. Spiral fractures are rare in older adults, who have large limbs and rigid bones and donโt regularly get exposed to violent torsion. However, in children, theyโre a common child abuse fracture because they CAN be exposed to those kind of forces. If you see a spiral fracture on a childโs X-ray, dollars to doughnuts that kid is being abused and you need to call DOCS. Please do not use this in writing unless youโre specifically trying to indicate something.
- Comminuted fractures. These are a HIGH-ENERGY fracture: you get this when something SLAMS into you at high speed. They are common in high-speed car accidents, and they result from the bones having too much energy to be distributed from a single break so it instead cracks down multiple grain lines, even transverse ones. These DO NOT occur in low-speed collisions and theyโre a bugger for us to fix. Every single time you see one, you know this person was in a big-ass impact, e.g. falling off a house roof or something.
- Segmental fractures. These are a high-energy fracture with a particularly poor healing rate. Your bones have a blood supply, just like everything else important in your body (looking at you, cartilage you avascular FUCK). However, that blood needs to come from above or below, and a segmental fracture is bad because you COMPLETELY ISOLATE one section of the bone from blood. This kind of fracture is at a very high risk of necrosis, infection, and horrible consequences without immediate treatment. These breaks are a surgical emergency. You get segmental fractures usually from something wide hitting a long bone straight on at high speed: a wide sledgehammer strike from the side directly into a lone bone, for example, could easily cause a segmental break. Theyโre unusual but they can and do happen in car accidents.
- Avulsion fractures. These are the bodybuilder fracture, caused when a muscle thatโs too strong for the bone itโs attached to pulls so hard that it rips a piece of bone off the end. Theyโre common in people with connective tissue disorders: osteogenesis imperfecta and Marfanโs have a _particularly_ high rate of them, as do some kinds (not really hypermobile) of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (mostly the more serious types that affect stuff like cardiac valves as well). Theyโre actually really common in childhood sports injuries, too, and are a LOW-ENERGY fracture type. The most common childhood one is an ACL avulsion, where the anterior cruciate ligament rips a chunk of bone off the back of someoneโs tibia. They often need surgery if itโs big.
- Impacted fractures. Caused when a force slams into a bone hard from ALONG its axis, or ACROSS the axis at the TIP of a bone. These are common in children because children are idiots who do lots of weird and wonderful shit like โhow high can I jump off the monkey bars?โ and other such childhood games, but they also happen a lot in older people and in athletes. An impacted fracture in the spine is a serious danger and indicates osteoporosis. I donโt know so much about how else youโd get these but car accidents can ALSO cause these (are you seeing a pattern, guys???)
- Torus fractures. These are almost always a childhood fracture, and almost always seen in the bones of the arm. Theyโre caused by a bone thatโs incompletely cracked around the rim of the bone, causing it to โbulgeโ outwards like a torus (ring). These usually happen when a child is running, especially during sport, and trips onto an outstretched arm. These injuries are called FOOSHes, or Falls Onto OutStretched Hand, and are so common we give them a special name. They heal quite well but require a cast I believe. Not sure, never seen a real one. Not common.
- Greenstick fractures. Virtually exclusively a fracture of young children, because their bones are springy and bend easily. These are an incomplete fracture caused by BENDING a bone thatโs got a lot of collagen still in it (i.e. not old) and it snaps only along the outside edge of the bend, away from the force. These are always a low-energy break and you will never see these in a healthy adult. Even older children like adolescents rarely get these.
Yes! Thatโs why your doctors were so concerned.
For a spiral fracture to happen in an adult is rare, because itโs rare for an adult to twist their bones so hard that the bones crack around like that. Itโs also less common because it generally requires a certain amount of elastic deformation around an axis (that is, a bone bending but not breaking as itโs twisted) prior to snapping, because it doesnโt have enough energy to spiral otherwise.
It sounds, to me, like your bones probably had some kind of grain fault in them. These are actually EXTREMELY common: all people will have some kind of fault in their bonesโ grain structures somewhere, because those are normal in crystalline structures formed in nature. In your case, I suspect you had a fault line in your bone that just happened to be stressed, and because you were experiencing one of the few times that an adult DOES get a torsion (foot planted in a pothole, momentum twisting you around your stuck foot, snap) you got a spiral. Since this happened near your ankle, Iโm guessing you also yanked a bunch of ligaments and tendons and those avulsed with it: this is unsurprising, because for you to experience so much force that your tibia spiralises I would frankly EXPECT to see avulsions with it, those are much lower-energy breaks.
But, yes. We would confirm with you that this definitely was the result of a simple twist-and-fall because that kind of injury is rare. In adults, theyโre most commonly caused as a result of placing limbs into machinery of some kind, especially on farms, so I wonder if he wasnโt verifying that you werenโt covering up some kind of workplace accident - we get a lot of that.
!!! Thank you for the clarification! I never really understood what happened, although to be fair back then I wasn't ready to hear anything other than whether it would be okay or not.
Gosh that really does explain a lot of things back then!

#bones!#...is this why my doctor had to pull me aside to double check with me how I broke my ankle#because there were both spiral and avulsed breaks#maybe more but back then looking at the xrays made me feel queasy#and he was like i've never seen it so bad were you in a car accident?#and i had to explain that i was just. walking. actually.#walking pretty fast and also dragged along by someone else#pivoted to the side to swerve around a person and#stepped into a dip in the grass mid-turn#and I went down like a hot potato#like there were a lot of full breaks#i suddenly had so many bones in my ankle area#went into the hospital thinking I might have sprained/dislocated it#argued to leave the hospital because they wanted me to stay until they could clear up the next spot for surgery#I mean my surgery was scheduled for a few days later but#no way was I gunna stay I grew up in the States in the 90s#from before I hit the teen years I knew I'd rather kill myself than rack up the hospital bills

Honestly?
I hope Till is angry. Angry Ivan didn't kill him. That Ivan left him alive in the world that has shown him nothing but cruelty, abuse and humiliation. A world without Mizi (or so he thinks). Angry Ivan didn't explain himself.
I hope he snaps in the Final Round. I hope he releases his anger and anguish, whether it be on Luka or the aliens themselves. I hope we get to see at least a glimpse of his former, fiery self, one last time, if he is destined to die.
