I Am So Sorry For Your Loss (dragons Rising Watchers Iykyk)

Ravio! Technically CPR certified but the odds I’ll be useful and not a useless mess having a panic attack in the corner… actually I don’t know. I also don’t really wanna find out.

Where are you on a scale from Ravio to Hyrule?

The inflation in Hyrule’s Hyrule do be crazy this time of year.

Bold of you to assume I haven’t seen this. In fact I think I reblogged this. And then went down a rabbit hole of researching IST before realizing I was probably overreacting to the whole thing lol.

I see your 'Sky has asthma and that's why he can't run', and I raise you: Sky has Inappropriate Sinus Tachycardia, and that's why he can't run.

Now, before you run away because you've never even heard of IST, hear me out. (If you don't know the condition, it's a dysautonomic heart condition vaguely similar to POTS, just without the low blood pressure.)

We all know Sky's lived above the clouds with minimal oxygen levels his entire life, as have most of his decedents, so it wouldn't make sense for him to have shitty lungs, right? That's where IST comes in. See, it's not related in the slightest to physical health or upbringing, it's just a non-genetic thing that is due to your sinus being a bit funky. It's also not life threatening, so that takes away from Skyloft needing to have non-canonical advanced medical procedures. IST's main symptom is that it severely decreases your stamina by making your heart race and you become extremely out of breath, often meaning you have to stop and wait for a bit for your heart to calm down.

Sound familiar? Yeah, I thought so too.

However, and here's the real seller- unlike asthma, you can just power through and not die. It really, really sucks, but this ability is quite the gamebreaker for me when you think about all of the extreme physical tasks Sky has completed in game, not to mention his swordplay, that if he had exercise induced asthma would've very likely set off an attack. With IST tho, yes it would feel like you were dying, but it is absolutely be possible to just power through your symptoms and have no adverse effects except from your extreme discomfort and fatigue afterwards.

TLDR: Sky has Inappropriate Sinus Tachycardia because it fits him so much better than asthma, as someone who has both asthma and IST. And no, this isn't just me projecting my hyper specific heart condition onto one of my favourite characters, what do you mean....

Time: Okay, let's stop here for the night. Sky *trips/faceplants on the ground*: fuckkkkk

cue the entire chain whirling around to stare at him and bonus points if he's already dead asleep

i think jojo should let one of the links say fuck at some point in LU, and i think it’d be incredibly funny if it was sky

I would like to tell everyone on this Monday morning/afternoon/evening (time zones are menaces) that you've got this!!!

rest in pieces to my ao3. it just ran a 503 error and is probably a sign that i should study for my math test tomorrow.

good fic > math test tomorrow

Waittt this makes so much sense lol

I wasn’t going to say anything but people keep bringing it up so listen. LISTEN.

THIS IS NOT CENSORED OOCCA. IT’S HOW SKY IS PICTURING IT FROM TWILIGHT’S DESCRIPTION.

This is Sky imagining what Twilight is describing.

Of course it doesn’t look exactly like an Oocca, Sky has only Twilight’s vague description to go off of. Twilight says it’s got a bird body like a cucco, and a longer neck and a person head. That’s it. That’s probably what I would picture too if I didn’t know what the Oocca look like! You wouldn’t know they have... uh, you know. Everything else. Because Twilight didn’t mention it.

And if you look at an actual picture of an Oocca too, you can see the one Sky is picturing is missing other details too; the facial structure is more masculine, the nose is too big and it appears to have actual eyebrows, and it’s got cheekbones too. They’re not supposed to be the same. It’s just Sky’s weird mental image of what Twilight told him.

okay thank you mild rant over

I wish my wips looked like this. Woe is me, amateur mediocre fic writer with sentences and bullet points instead of fics.

Boom shakalaka or wtvr….. this isn’t finished and will not be finished but it’s okay because I like how it is right now and I wanna be free from WIP hell 😞😞😞 SAVE ME I DRAW TOO MUCH AND DONT FINISH THEM EVER AAHHHH
