Sometimes I wonder what would happen if Danny got seriously hurt.

Bonus comic:

Vlad is embarrassed to show any kind of paternal concern for Danny's safety. But he does care, more than he shows.

Additionally, Danny starts going to Vlad whenever he has medical concerns. Between stumping doctors or going to your archenemy (who actually knows what he's doing)...the latter works better.

I feel like I should make a post about this because it’s not something that’s very well-known, and that Americans in particular may need to know about given the uncertain state of our healthcare system at the moment. I’ve wanted to write this out for a while, It’s kind of a long post, so sorry about that!

If you have an emergency and have to go to the hospital, you’ll owe the hospital a lot of money. (I got into a car wreck and broke my ankle and my arm. My hospital bill was around $20,000)

You’ll also owe the ambulance provider, if you need one. (My ambulance bill was about $800)

You may get separate bills from the anesthesiologist or surgeon. (My anesthesiologist bill was $1,700)

You may need follow-up appointments. (My orthopedic surgeon billed me for the appointments and his surgery together and it was about $1,000)

You’ve also got to pay for medical equipment you need afterward, like crutches or a walking boot. (Mine cost about $75)

Altogether, I ended up with almost $24,000 in medical debt from one car accident. That’s a really scary number for someone like me who makes $10/hr at a 12 hour a week job.

I got my debt down to $1075 by making some phone calls and submitting some paperwork.

The first thing I did was contact the hospital. They don’t make it easy to find, but many hospitals (perhaps most hospitals?) have financial assistance programs for people who can’t afford medical bills. I don’t make a lot of money, and I have bills to pay, so they were able to help me. I called the billing department and asked if they had any assistance programs for low income people who can’t pay their bills. I had to call multiple times, and I got transferred in circles by people who didn’t know what I was talking about. Finally, I got an appointment with someone in “Eligibility Services” (I don’t know what other hospitals call it, if it’s something different). I had to bring my pay stubs and copies of all of my bills. When I got to the hospital for the appointment, nobody knew what I was talking about so I had to wander a little to find where I needed to go. I spoke with the guy in Eligibility Services, and I waited for a decision on how much of the bill they would forgive. A month later, I got a call telling me it was totally forgiven.

I did the same thing for my ambulance bill and my anesthesiologist, but the process was a LOT easier. I just had to mail some paperwork and it was totally forgiven.

I didn’t bother with the medical equipment suppliers, since the bills came from separate companies and I didn’t feel like going through the process twice for $75. I was assured at the hospital that they had similar programs for debt forgiveness, so I could have probably avoided paying that too.

The only thing I couldn’t get taken care of was the surgeon/follow-up appointment cost, but they were able to put me on a no-interest payment plan.

Medical debt is scary because it’s something that can come from stuff that’s already really scary. I didn’t need the burden of $24,000 in debt on top of trying to get around on a crutch with a broken arm (it’s not easy, believe me!).. but I can’t imagine what it would be like with a bigger debt or a more severe medical emergency. I see lots of people in even worse trouble than I was in, both financially and medically. Please know that there are options for you when that GoFundMe doesn’t do enough. Even if your income is higher than mine, it’s worth a shot even for partial debt forgiveness.

I had to do this once as well and I can ABSOLUTELY confirm that this is true.

Get in contact with the hospital. Don’t just…sit there and let the anxiety grow and panic and then ignore it in an effort to find peace.

Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers.

I was tagged by @antimony-medusa

in no particular order:

  • carceral (2,553 words): the second qsmp fic in a prospective trilogy tackling q!jungryeok's relationship with q!acau, and also a roundabout character study of q!acau. having been almost exclusively writing kmcyt fic for the past four months, it was really nice to be able to share some kmcyt with a non-korean-speaking audience. i enjoyed putting my characterization to words and it was a little thrilling to share some like. tiny bits of my culture.
  • highlands (3,986 words): one of my favorite fics from my favorite series, wasteland (18/30 fics published, currently 96,399 words). an in-between fic from my sprawling hero/villain series, i think my characterization and pacing shines here as well, and there's a lot of worldbuilding that trickles in between the all the fraught conversations. i also just love niki.
  • brittle body, brittle blood (56,417 words): multi-chapter dsmp/tiredtwt fic. a fantasy/mech au whose main themes i spent a lot of time perfecting. i'm still very fond of the worldbuilding of this fic, which feels like a good balance between excruciatingly detailed and handwavey. i'm also happy with it because it originally had a very different ending, but i feel that its ending now is a choice that i am happy with and makes sense for the way that the story is formed.
  • plate of primes (485 words): dsmp c!tommy-centric poem. probably my most popular poem to date. tommy has great clarity of voice and i think the reddit format really sells this poem.
  • homeward (4,793 words): dsmp canon-divergent future fic where c!purpled escapes to hypixel after his death at c!charlie's hands. deals with ptsd, coming back to a family you barely recognize, and becoming a bad person by choice rather than letting someone force your hand.

tagging @tea-with-veth @prismartist @lookinghalfacorpse @dr3amingadream @doctorletmebebrave no pressure, and please make a new post if u choose to participate! thank many much :]

so u guys probably know how crazy i am about kmcyt (korean minecraft youtubers). well im here to tell u that u aint seen nothin yet. i started watching jamtteul tv content around december of last yr and their mystery investigation team series (미스터리 수사반) absolutely Got My Ass. i have been writing fanfiction and drawing fanart for it ever since, which is why wasteland updates have slowed considerably. i have been thinking of uploading some misuban (aforementioned mystery investigation team series) stuff to ao3 for a while now, and ive been holding off because [waves hand] publishing on ao3 during the peak of dsmp gave me. how u say. severe and reccurring rsd issues. ig im just kinda testing the waters. would anybody be interested in reading my misuban stuff

My parents named me Light because their lives lie in shadow but I’m a poor example of joy. Sometimes I get so sad I think about eating a quesadilla, or assembling a tire swing, or taking off my bra. Instead I dream of the big dumb heart my mother hands me. She tells me to carry it. I drop it every time.
