Like the attitude towards psychotic people never fucking changes. Everyone shouts about respecting psychotic people until someone starts having delusions on the train and people whip out their phones to film and laugh at them. Everyone starts tweeting about better mental health treatments but in the same breath will call you a crackhead for having disorganized thoughts. Everyone loves their little Shane Dawson conspiracy theories but will ostracize the people scared/paranoid they’re being watched or poisoned. It’s a miracle whenever I can confidently tell someone I have schizophrenia and they don’t recoil or distance themselves from me and it’s a blessing when I can count on someone to still want to engage in a relationship despite knowing I have schizophrenia. Nonpsychotic people don’t get it. And this absolutely doesn’t just apply to ‘neurotypical’ people. You guys wanna think you’re above them when it comes to supporting other mentally ill people but most of you just act the fucking same. Your depression isn’t saving you from being a fucking dickhead, you’re just a dickhead on Zoloft.
actually IIRC this was the first photo with a specific type of camera or equipment “cos THE progenative shitlord of cat memes was Harry Pointer. And around 1870 he decided that Au Naturelle photos of cats weren’t gonna cut it, and started doing shit like this:
then he realised HE COULD CAPTION THEM
and thus the dignity of the feline was forever destroyed.
so was Paris’s arrow poisoned or did Achilles just have a fucked up shitty ankle
There are arteries in the ankle. If Paris hit even 1 of them, Achilles would have bled out in a matter of minutes.
No he would not have. Maybe if Achilles yanked the arrow out roughly and stood on one foot and hopped up and down and never applied any pressure and just went “DAMN Y’ALL WATCH HOW MUCH I CAN BLEED!”, which is honestly plausible and in character, it would be a relatively easy artery to staunch.
It was the only point on his body the was not ivulnurable. His mother was said to have dipped him in the Styx as s baby and held him by his Achilles . As you need an ‘anchor’ to land to not be consumed by the fire.that one spot is vulnerable cause it wasn’t dipped in the styxs. So her hand is probs good to except for her fingertips.
Yes but wouldn’t his ankle be a normal human ankle? The rest of his body might be invulnerable, but his ankle should be as sturdy as any other man’s, unless all his mortality shrank up and became super-condensed and highly-concentrated. If you shot a regular guy in the ankle, he’d need medical treatment to keep it clean and staunch the blood, but he’d survive. Achilles apparently just fucking… explodes or something. Loser.
If I remember correctly, the ankle leads directly to the reactor core, so if you shoot a proton torpedo into it just right he will explode.
Maybe Achilles just passed out from shock because, with the rest of his body being invulnerable, he never developed the capacity to cope with pain, and everyone else assumed he had dropped dead.
