I was just wondering if anyone else has a similar experience.

I recently saw a video of a little girl freaking out because she thought she saw a face in the pattern on her diaper box, a face her mother couldn't see but that was terrifying the little girl. According to the mother, the person who was reacting to the video, and the comments, there was nothing that even vaguely resembled a face, not even via paradolia, but I could? Like, with the way my vision works and how the visual snow kind of blurs things, I could absolutely see a face in that diaper box. This sent me down a bit of a rabbit hole where I started looking for similar videos, where kids were seeing faces no one else could, and I noticed that in a lot of them, I could at least vaguely see a face because of how my vision changed what I was looking at. I've been really prone to paradolia, seeing faces where none exist because of how the human brain seeks out patterns, and I think it might be due to how my visual snow messes up my vision.

Is this something anyone else has ever noticed or experienced themselves? I'm just wondering because that would actually be super interesting and might be worth mentioning to this youtuber (Hannahthehorrible) because she'd also find that interesting for her debunking content

Forgive this bizarrely specific question and if I'm in the wrong place, I genuinely don't know where to ask this.

In a book I read, an ex-KGB agent (Irina Spasky) had needles implanted under her nails. If she flexed the topmost joint of her finger, the needle would extend. These needles could be loaded with a poison so she could use them to poison people by scratching them. There was a risk of these poisons harming her, so she couldn't keep anything too dangerous or uncurable in them. These implants were permanent and she still had them well over fifteen years after the KGB was disbanded. I am trying to figure this out for both fanfic and implementing it in original works. Basically, my questions are;

1. Is this even possible at all?

2. Is this actually one of the KGB's many creative poisoning methods, or did they not do this? Is this something a KGB agent could have had?

Just because if it's possible I want to research it, and if the KGB actually did that I'd like to have a starting point for more information. And if there's somewhere else I should ask thus, please tell me.

I just got my prescription for T gel approved by insurance! The pharmacy lady said it should be in stock tomorrow! I'm finally on testosterone! And in twelve months I'll be able to get a partial hysterectomy! (Insurance won't cover it without 12 months of T first.)

I'm finally transitioning!!!

By the show's own definition, Poppy is a full Rebel, and Holly is the one who's in between.

When they discover that Poppy is actually the older twin and thus that she's supposed to be the next Rapunzel and Holly is the one without a predetermined destiny, they both decide to ignore their destinies and choose what they want. Poppy, like Raven, goes full Rebel by having a predetermined destiny, rejecting it entirely, and not choosing any predetermined destiny to replace it. And Holly chooses to take a role that isn't hers and follow a predetermined destiny that was originally for someone else. She's a Rebel in that she's choosing her own destiny and a Royal in that she's following a predetermined path. Choosing a destiny predetermined for someone else as her own. That's the middle ground of Royal and Rebel. That's a Roybel.

(Yes, this means that Duchess, Courtly, that pig, etc, are also Roybels in some form. Rejecting their predetermined destiny and choosing another that isn't theirs but is a traditional path. Yes, this includes Raven's mom to an extent. Holly is far from the first or only Roybel.)

Poppy is a full Rebel. Holly is the Roybel twin

I am a trans man with pretty bad tokophobia, specifically fear of my own possible pregnancy, and I'm planning on getting a partial hysterectomy for both gender and phobia reasons, plus a few other medical things that would be vastly improved by not dealing with periods. But would mentioning my tokophobia while trying go get the hyster disqualify me? Since using a hysterectomy on people with tokophobia is generally not allowed. It's a contributing factor but far from the only reason, but I'm afraid that mentioning it might make getting the surgery impossible since my request could get seen as coming entirely from the phobia. Should I mention the severe tokophobia, or should I leave that part out? Any other guys with tokophobia got any insight?
