i once knew a man
but like all men, they never think they can die
like all men, he never stopped doing what killed him
and on his tombstone was written the saddest of words: (he tried.)

When your mother was pregnant with you, she was losing her bone mass to build your skeleton. Your bone is literally your mother’s bone. Alhamdullilah.
The physiology of this works in the following way: calcium resorption increases in pregnant women so that calcium ions from the mother’s solid bones are put into the blood, passed through the placenta, and given to the fetus. Those calcium ions then get deposited into the developing skeleton of the fetus. Thus, you are literally built from your mother’s bones.
judge: does the defendant have anything to say in her defense?

i think one of the things that i love abt lucifer is that like…. there’s little to no animosity between dan and lucifer?? like yeah they give each other shit but they’re lowkey friends, and lucifer knows dan is a good person and vice versa. there is no #teamlucifer or #teamdan shit. i just find that SO refreshing honestly. and just all the characters are so enjoyable, there is no one that really grates me except maybe lucifer’s mother but i think that’s the point. like maze, amenadiel, trixie, dan and linda are all such good eggs.
