You know which population 'roid rage most perplexes? The infant one.
1. We had to give Fiona steroids last weekend because she had some awful mystery virus that had her coughing her guts up all night. The steroids kept her coughing at bay and let her get mostly well again. We gave her the medicine for three days. The last dose was a week ago, Sunday morning. As soon as we started giving it to her, she lost her little mind. She became whiny, aggressive, perplexed, confused, ate us out of house and home, and started snatching things from our hands and screaming MINE! I assumed her behavior would calm down with a day or so of discontinuing the medicine. Not so, my friends. She didn't resume normal Feefers operations until Friday. We were giving her minuscule amounts of this drugs for a really short period of time, and they fucked her shit up. I can't imagine what they must do to a grown person who is voluntarily taking copious amounts of them. *shudders* Also, we aren't doing that again unless it's absolutely necessary because that was unpleasant for everyone involved.
2. I am vindicated, y'all. After last week's episode, Josh and I turned to each other and said, "Oh, man. Bob, got bit. Shit." and then a little later: "I hope they all turn from eating him." But then The Talking Dead didn't make any mention of him likely being bitten, and internet seemed all silent about it too, but his behavior made no sense to me outside of the context of being bitten. So, we were right, but *sobs*. I will miss you, Bob. This was a fantastic episode. His farewell(s) was amazing. We also called the preacher's back story; understandable, but so cowardly. I was thrilled that they killed the survivors of Terminus. I know everybody was pulling the What Did We Just Do Faces, but I'm with Rick. You let those people live, they just keep eating people. And that's what zombies are for. In that environment, those people are irredeemable. They have to be stopped. Tyreese broke my heart this episode. :( And, finally, I think the mechanism for splitting up the group was utterly stupid. No reason for Maggie and Glen to leave with them. I think Eugene is full of shit and that Abraham is hiding something bad. IDK We'll see. Also, what the hell was up with Beth? It looked like she was in some sci-fi prison hospital. I hope all three of them are present and accounted for in the next episode.
3. Furuba! My heart. You know, for something that I thought was going to be a really light-hearted romance, this is a deeply devastating story in which I can't truly imagine a happy ending for any of the characters. So much trauma. :(
4. I am ready for my Yuletide assignment. I thought for sure I'd be the only person offering this one thing, but I was wrong! So IDK what I shall match on now. So exciting. *jazz hands*
5. Exploration by Tamoline; Jeff Vandermeer's Southern Reach Trilogy
Okay, I've already recced one fic by this author in the same fandom, and I would be remiss to not to rec this one. It picks up from where the series leaves off, gives us some much longed for femslash, and captures the terroir (oh, I did it; I went there!) of the original so wonderfully. I am deeply besotted with the stories Tamoline tells in this universe, and you should go read this one so you can be too!

That...is a not-uncommon feeling, I'd say. ^^; "Romantic comedy", they say. *boggles* (Okay, that gets said more about the anime, but still.)

All the stuff with the parents who don't want their children or who are awful to them kills me; Momiji in particular really breaks my heart.

2) Yep, Gwyd and I said the same thing to each other. And yes, this is not a world where you can try to rehabilitate the truly lost. You need to end them before they come for you again. If they learned nothing else from the Governor, they ought to have learned that.
4) I'm psyched, too!

2. I agree with you. It's why I agreed with Carol killing the little girl. She was a danger to Judith; you can't watch her every second, and they just don't have the resources to help people who are that broken from reality.
4. I hope we both get good stuff!!!!!
