While from his homeland of Corvos, G'raha Tia was raised in Sharlayan. He was mocked and shunned as a child due to his crimson-colored Allagan Eye trait, giving him a unique type of heterochromia.
X'rhun Tia is a male Seeker of the Sun Miqo'te and is the last living member of the Crimson Duelists, a band of red mages. Even at 42, he still enjoys helping those in need.
don't let anyone convince you zenos yae galvus hated his father. the fact he dissected his body in pieces, used them to fuel various aether doomtowers, and created a grotesque amalgam of tortured flesh primal with what remained is because he didn't care about him
Hot take as a biological female I do not feel represented/empowered by whatever trend this is. This, in essence, is how dying franchises attempt to land a gracious exit by shifting the tone from “it died because we deliver dogshit” to “it died because women=poor decision”
Hidradenitis suppurativa, puss-filled infection of the sweat gland that spreads like crabgrass hitting a new lawn. Auto-inflammatory disorder. Before you know it you are covered in boils and rotting away. I prefer mine surgically cut out at the first sign of a new spot.
It’s perfectly normal to be replaced. It’s also perfectly normal to feel bitter about it. Feeling bitter about it also makes you a lapper b**ch, which is perfectly normal as well.
Bottomline is, learn to dissociate if you can’t not feel anything. People are water under the bridge
To find out Princess passed away at the dawn of this 🥲we get to witness FIP went from violent and deadly to easily treatable during the span of our life time, one day we too will see this through.
The sky is beautiful, and it is forever. Fly free baby.
Toru Miyazaki gave 11 cats with advanced kidney disease an experimental injection. 15 others didn’t get it. A year later, 9 of the 11 treated cats were alive. Only 3 of the 15 untreated cats survived. He just filed for approval, and the drug fixes a defect only cats have.
Most cats die from one thing: their kidneys fail. By age 10, 4 in 10 cats already have chronic kidney disease, and by age 15, the rate doubles to 8 in 10. Once diagnosed, a cat has about 2 years left.
The reason kidney disease hits cats so hard is a broken protein in their blood. All mammals carry a protein that helps the kidneys clean out waste. In humans and dogs, the protein floats freely and goes to work when the kidneys are in trouble. In cats, it stays stuck to another protein and can’t get loose. So the waste piles up, and the kidneys eventually give out.
Miyazaki originally found the protein in 1999, back when he was at the University of Tokyo. He figured out the cat-specific glitch in 2015. The paper he published in the Veterinary Journal in February laid out the trial. The injection is a working version of the missing protein. His company, the Institute for AIM Medicine, filed the approval paperwork with Japan’s Ministry of Agriculture on April 24, 2026. If the review clears, the drug goes on sale in spring 2027.
The 30-year lifespan figure in the tweet is Miyazaki’s own projection of what cats could reach without kidney disease. The trial only ran a year, and the average cat today lives 15. Most die from the same disease this injection treats.
The research almost died in 2020. After running out of funding during COVID, Miyazaki went public. Cat owners across Japan responded by sending in 300 million yen, around 2 million dollars total. He resigned from the University of Tokyo and worked on the drug full time. The treatment in front of regulators today exists because cat lovers refused to let the research die.
So glad we are getting fimbulwinter in EverCold, at least I am COMFORTABLE. As a northwoman I am built for the cold and I ever will be. I can never understand why people swamp to hot hellholes and call it a vacation.
Ridiculous as it sounds one of the reason I didn’t enjoy DawnTrail was the fact I feel physically overheated by the environment. Like I live in the depth of the wasteland that is SoCal desert, I feel full on chocked by Death Valley heat just from looking at the landscape🥵🤒
