@yamrownrown

What does your fave Magical Girl series say about you?

Sailor Moon: You're 1000% a Basic Bitch and proud of it! This is also probably your first introduction to the concept of queerness and shipping. Cardcaptor Sakura: You hate dubbed anime. You also pretend the manga doesn't exist, and you're Multi-Ship Trash. Shugo Chara!: You had/still have a crush on Ikuto Tsukiyomi. Madoka Magica: Get help. Just.... get help. Tokyo Mew Mew: You definitely got your fetish from this series. Doesn't matter what it is; you got it here. Mermaid Melody: Your favorite Disney film was The Little Mermaid and you carried that into anime. Princess Tutu: You like your fairy tales like you like your men: Hot, Angsty, and Homoerotic. Revolutionary Girl Utena: This was your bisexual awakening and your introduction of becoming an anime "Snob." Yuki Yuna is a Hero: You're Gen Z or younger. Wedding Peach: You're tired of pretending that love and marriage isn't what you want, and really, who can blame you? Full Moon wo Sagshite: You love cancer stories and idol anime. It probably also awakened a few things in you... Magic Knight Rayearth: You have a thing for classic Good vs Evil, Rescuing a Damsel in Distress tropes, except you are ALSO a slut for soul-crushing angst. Plus, you die a little inside when people praise CLAMP's works, but never mention this gem. Little Witch Academia: Your first fandom was Harry Potter, your next fandom was Sailor Moon, so what better combination than this?! Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne: You went into it thinking it was like Sailor Moon, and stayed for the Lupin the Third vibes and religious discourse. Pretear: You 1000% make perverted jokes about this series. Iykyk.

This list will be updated as I make more posts! I will be making separate lists for these pantheons because I have too many links lol.

as a downtonian i can't help but picture anime-style downton abbey characters

imagine robert with massive fuckin' 90s anime eyes and those dramatic mawkish scenes with the soft pink background and roses with mary and matthew (who also have giant anime eyes)

i may be required to draw this i know this wasn't the initial point but uh whatever it is my world and you all live in it!!!! /silly

can’t decide if this is the best or worst description I’ve ever seen for this series 😭😭

Okay so for those either too young to remember or who were alive during but it never really affected them based on where they lived, Mad Cow Disease

Mad Cow Disease was thing in the late 80′s and the entire 90′s, all the way to early 00′s and it was an international scare. Like, we had disinfecting stations on international airports because of it.

It was a virus passed from animals to humans and this didn’t happen somewhere random in Asia, where, idk, bats and pigs interact and infect the food chain, but in Europe. In UK to be precise.

It affected only cows at first and only agriculture paid any attention, since any animal infected needed to be put down. Like no shit, those animals couldn’t even walk with how bad they were shaking and if you want to google this, be prepared. It doesn’t look nice, it looks ugly and horrifying and it will likely traumatize someone.

And the mode of transfer was not evident. There are videos and photos, showing cow carcasses being burned and someone trying to claim that was early days but that was very much not the reality in the beginning. In fact, all the research showed it is not possible for Mad Cow Disease to infect humans. In fact2, a similar disease was already known in lambs for decades and that one could not infect humans, so it was a no brainer to say, a similar disease in cows can also NEVER infect humans, so no precautions with the carcass needed.

But the thing is, how we processed meat had changed drastically between the lambs being a stable, grown at home meat, and then cows, or beef, becoming dominant with supermarkets. This is basically the “you see this, this is animal paste from a teletubby machine” video, except the paste wasn’t fed to humans. It’s known as meat and bone meal and it was all the leftover stuff from abattoirs, ground up and fed back to the animals as valuable protein.

You might see where this is going.

So let’s talk about prion diseases.

Well, as much as I, a random person know about them. Prions are proteins and proteins are not DNA or RNA, which are most likely familiar to anyone who has googled Covid, or any novel corona viruses in general. They’re the viruses a vaccine is made for.

Prion diseases are, in fact, mostly known because of cannibalism. Kuru is a famous disease among one specific tribe on Pacific Islands, caused by their tradition of consuming their relatives flesh after death. In fact, I just fact checked on which ocean and was told that the Kuru was mainly affecting kids and women because the men ate limbs and muscles and women and kids got the brain and basically all the best, fatty parts. Which, ironically, carried the disease.

And yes, in any survivalist culture fat, innards, and cartilage and the “bad parts” are the best because they contain the most nutrients so no, you do no get to twist this into the men taking the best, so fuck of terfs. This post is not for you.

Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease was already known by the time of Mad Cow Disease, it was a brain destroying disease affecting the elderly population. Mad Cow became variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease, or vCJD and was picked up because it mainly affected the young.

And in case you didn’t get it already, the link was infected cow carcasses being processed to meat and bone meal to be fed back to cows, because infected prion diseases spread through cannibalism. Or more specifically, spine and brain stem.

(so you’re relatively safe eating just the thigh or any muscle tbh)

So in the end, Mad Cow Disease didn’t kill that many people, only few hundreds, if I recall correctly.

But the thing that was found out about the prion diseases because of Kuru was that while some people exhibited symptoms and died really early, most had an incubation period of DECADES, aka 50 years. So the inevitable conclusion about vCJD is that it has only claimed it’s first victims and that majority are still waiting to appear and die.

Because the thing about prion diseases? There is currently no cure. And the fact that no one seems to remember this and that there is no awareness of it is not helping.
