Notice how this is only the second time that Sam and Steve are meeting. In which, Steve visits Sam in his place of work because Sam – a casual runner he met on his jogging path invites him. This scene is so significant because, Steve Rogers has been shown to be pretty closed off and trusts no one at this point. Since he’s lost everyone he loves, he’s been having a really hard time adjusting back into the world. And he just meets Sam and there’s something so charming about Sam Wilson that Steve Rogers can’t help but trust him the moment they meet.
Not only that, media has shown us that relationships/friendships between male characters are generally always portrayed with too much testosterone or frat boy culture. But not Sam and Steve. Steve genuinely cares if Sam is okay. Sam genuinely cares if Steve is okay. This is their second meeting and both men are asking each other if they’re happy with their lives and making each other smile. And it’s so pure.
The friendship/relationship between Sam and Steve is often overlooked/overshadowed by Bucky and Steve’s friendship, but don’t sleep on them. Sam and Steve are just as significant as Steve and Bucky & Steve and Nat.
One of the (many) banes of chronic illness is the absurd amount of meds. Here’s some things I’ve found helpful throughout the years! Feel free to add on 🙂
As your doctor prescribes them, these questions may be helpful:
What will these medications be doing in my body? How do they work?
What will this be targeting?
What symptoms should I expect to get better? Which may get worse?
What side effects should I look out for?
What signs are there that I need a lower/higher dosage?
What interactions will this have? Is it okay with all of the things I’m already on?
Should these be taken with food, on an empty stomach, other?
When you get them from the pharmacist:
Make sure you get information sheets on the meds if they have them.
Always ask them about possible medication, food and substance interactions.
Ask about storage, policy for missing a dose, whether or not they can be crushed, etc.
The bolded above are all great things that you should ask your pharmacist as well as your doc.
Things you can do to make it easier:
Google your medications, see if there are any interactions you may not know about still. This post has some resources.
Make a list of all of the medications you’re on, what dose you have to take and when. Trust me.
Set alarms for whenever you need to take a dose.
Make a checklist if you need to.
Separating them into pill boxes can be helpful, but time consuming. I’d recommend at least doing it for any AM dosages.
There are health apps designed to help you keep track too!
When taking them:
Reward yourself! Listen to music, watch a show afterwards, watch cute videos during, etc.
If they taste bad, taking them with a bite of food or a yummy drink can help. I’ve found honey to be helpful for the ones that dissolve quickly.
Also if they feel stuck in your throat, drinking something or swallowing a bite of food can help.
Best of luck! If you ever need a suffer buddy, my inbox is always open ❤
Fantastic advice, especially on what questions to ask.
Other ideas for things to ask your doctor, pharmacist, or Google:
If the drug has any contraindications (because who knows if this doctor knows and remembers your full medical history).
If there is any risk of dependence or building a tolerance over time.
What the procedure is for stopping the medication: whether you can just stop taking it or if you need to go off of it slowly.
How the drug might affect your immune system/blood pressure/any other part of your body’s functioning that you have trouble with already.

it takes a long time for allison to find her way back to this world – the real world, the one where all her friends exist. the one where all her friends were born and died. beacon hills is empty of familiar faces, and even the streets look different, wrong. leaving it behind doesn’t fix the sense of displacement, weeks, months spent wondering if this is what she came back for. ten years pass before she really notices that she’s nineteen again and again and again and again. her face staring back from a reflection in a fountain in rome is the same face obscured in a dirty mirror on the seedy side of town – of every town, everywhere.
she’s in new york when she finds a reason to be here and not there, someone and not no one. she finds kira yukimura, sleek dark hair and short skirts, her old belt now engraved with a long line of dates. she thumbs her finger over the rut where her own fate is carved and feels helpless to undo it, to take it back. she’s alive, but she’s not quite sure how to take back the dying. not yet.
kira leads her around the world again, pulling her along by peasant sleeves, by backpack straps, her hand, and finally her heart.
this is the story of two still-young girls and their eternal road trip.

The funniest thing is I imagine Diana and Thor would get along very well, and bond over their dads being the head honchos of the gods. Also lightning and thunder! Diana would probably be like a slightly exasperated big sister to Thor at times. Oh and she can 100% lift Mjolnir and wield Stormbreaker.
and we all know how Thor feels about female warriors. he would think Diana is the absolute coolest
