importent!!! spread it like wild fire!!!! i never know it was the case...
According to the CDC, in 10 percent of those drownings, the adult will actually watch the child do it, having no idea it is happening. Drowning does not look like drowning—Dr. Pia, in an article in the Coast Guard’s On Scene magazine, described the Instinctive Drowning Response like this:
“Except in rare circumstances, drowning people are physiologically unable to call out for help. The respiratory system was designed for breathing. Speech is the secondary or overlaid function. Breathing must be fulfilled before speech occurs.
Drowning people’s mouths alternately sink below and reappear above the surface of the water. The mouths of drowning people are not above the surface of the water long enough for them to exhale, inhale, and call out for help. When the drowning people’s mouths are above the surface, they exhale and inhale quickly as their mouths start to sink below the surface of the water.
Drowning people cannot wave for help. Nature instinctively forces them to extend their arms laterally and press down on the water’s surface. Pressing down on the surface of the water permits drowning people to leverage their bodies so they can lift their mouths out of the water to breathe.
Throughout the Instinctive Drowning Response, drowning people cannot voluntarily control their arm movements. Physiologically, drowning people who are struggling on the surface of the water cannot stop drowning and perform voluntary movements such as waving for help, moving toward a rescuer, or reaching out for a piece of rescue equipment.
From beginning to end of the Instinctive Drowning Response people’s bodies remain upright in the water, with no evidence of a supporting kick. Unless rescued by a trained lifeguard, these drowning people can only struggle on the surface of the water from 20 to 60 seconds before submersion occurs.”
This doesn’t mean that a person that is yelling for help and thrashing isn’t in real trouble—they are experiencing aquatic distress. Not always present before the Instinctive Drowning Response, aquatic distress doesn’t last long—but unlike true drowning, these victims can still assist in their own rescue. They can grab lifelines, throw rings, etc.
Look for these other signs of drowning when persons are in the water:
Head low in the water, mouth at water level
Head tilted back with mouth open
Eyes glassy and empty, unable to focus
Eyes closed
Hair over forehead or eyes
Not using legs—vertical
Hyperventilating or gasping
Trying to swim in a particular direction but not making headway
Trying to roll over on the back
Appear to be climbing an invisible ladder
So if a crew member falls overboard and everything looks OK—don’t be too sure. Sometimes the most common indication that someone is drowning is that they don’t look like they’re drowning. They may just look like they are treading water and looking up at the deck. One way to be sure? Ask them, “Are you all right?” If they can answer at all—they probably are. If they return a blank stare, you may have less than 30 seconds to get to them. And parents—children playing in the water make noise. When they get quiet, you get to them and find out why.

i like the idea that....if the ever make a mob psycho 100 FIGHTING game... that the color-swap player 2 of every single esper boy (mob,ritsu,teru and shou) is an alien ( come on! let tome be happy!!!!) that has shape shifting powers, minor power mimicry, as well as ridiculous brute strength and no psychic powers what-so-ever.
and even though the thing has no gender..it has a fascination with things considered feminine by earthly standers .(earrings, nail polish, cutesy things, jewelry, make up ,ankle bracelets, elegant yet girly movements,occasional ballet and gymnastic moves and sounding really feminine and high pitched)
and maybe it could be involved in the main story...like it causes trouble across seasoning city under mob's appearance..... but when mob arrives to stop the impostor. it will yell in disappointment...and it doesn't reveal it's face..instead it adds it personal touch to it's "mob impersonation "(like getting rid of mob's original colors and replacing it with it's natural colors just. like the pic and wears it's beloved accessories) and the fight begins...it does the same thing to ritsu, teru and shou
Amen brother.
How to make fake deadlines feel like real deadlines because my brain doesn’t feel the urgency when it knows i’m lying to it
i love sucre (sugar) and zacharie! ok?! &*$%! i love sugarie too much!!
I love this ... thank you for everything one-sense I!!
“A self-styled spiritualist who splashes table salt around, and a middle-school esper who is, in a manner of speaking, being used. When I first started drawing this manga, it was (well, was until the end) groping in the dark with shaking hands, and I recall sweating and struggling over various things. It could be that ‘Salt Splash’ too was born as a technique to dispel that sort of anxiety and bad thoughts.
It think this is a weird manga, but it ended up as something I couldn’t recreate on command, a thing filled with my memories.
It’s thanks to everyone that I was able to draw it to the end like this. With the help of the multitude of thoughts and letters and fan arts, I was somehow able to push through to the finish line. If you would occasionally go back to read and laugh again, it would bring me the greatest joy.
Thank you very much!”
thank you one for the great series, great ending, and these touching final words!
inktober 15: weak
I get less and less time to do these, I had to do some corrections on a later date.
inktober 7: exhausted
I’m sorry I haven't been posting these. I’ve been busy and (no joke intended) exhausted, and I couldn’t really reach the scanner. BUT! I have been drawing them on time!
that feeling when you feel so tired that you turn numb, and start dissociation and feel like your soul is just moving your body to get your stuff done.
I wonder how the battle of heart and mind is gonna turn out. I hope we see all of the crystal gems again. Now that we are neck deep into home world conflict, I’m kind of starting to miss the townie episodes. It’s like they piled them up all in the first 4 seasons so that we won’t see any this season. Well except for escapism...and that was a “calm before the storm” type of thing....
the 2 chan story explained
Since some people seem extremely confused about what’s going on with it, here’s a more straightforward summary of “I Proposed To My Girlfriend, But She’d Been Replaced.” But definitely read the original, and only read this if you’re just hopelessly confused.
