Hey everyone. Marina here
So ... It happened. We caught the SCR virus
It was fairly unexpected, but we had our doubts and ... We tested positive.
I've decided to document the evolution of our illness in this thread. Hopefully, a cure can be found before it's too late
A lot of people thought Marina and I died a few weeks ago. And honestly ? We thought we were fucking dead too. But we somehow survived until the cure for found.
Took us quite a bit to heal just enough to be considered out of any major risks. But now, we're safe.
Marina got a jaw transplant. I didn't know that was even possible but apparently, technology around it advanced rapidly after SCR started spreading around.
Look at this. Doesn't that look DOPE AS FUCK ?! Honestly, Marina's the prettiest. She can nail just about any look.
Her tongue keeps slippin out of her mouth since she doesn't control it fully. So she's almost always blepping. She keeps telling me it's embarrassing but honestly, how cute is that ?! I have to keep myself from touching that lil tongue of hers every two seconds
Reena was able to regain a bit of her sense of taste which THANK GOD. Imagine not being able to taste pizza ever again ? Terrifying.
We're not sure if she'll ever be able to talk again tho. But she's trying her damn best to learn that back !! Go girl, I'm proud of you !!
Alright, enough about Marina. More about me !
As you can see, I lost an eye. And nope, this can't be fixed. From what I've learned, eyes seem to be suuuper complex and there's no way you could ever get the nerves for it back. But guess what ? I DON'T CARE. I LOOK FUCKING DOPE !!
I mean, look at that ?! Okay, I'll admit, losing an eye was terrifying. You don't just drop an eye and go "That sucks. Anyways what's for breakfast"
Buuut ... I'd rather look at it in a positive way, even if it's a bit hard at times.
I'm a survivor of one of the deadliest diseases there are. And I want to use this as an opportunity to tell people that losing hope is the worst thing you can do in this type of situation.
I survived because I hung on. Or at least ... Marina hung on.
When the emergency rescue found us, they thought I was dead. My body had stopped producing heat and I was very much passed out.
But Marina never stopped being by my side and brought me the body heat I desperately needed. Without her, I'd be looong dead.
Today, Deep cut and the squid sisters visited us. Everyone cried, a lot. But I never thought I'd see Frye and shiver cry so much. Like, the squid sis are our friends, but deep cut are more like ... friendly rivals ?
I didn't think they loved us that much.
Either way, I'm glad they came to keep us company
It gets REALLY lonely in the hospital. For a good week, we were so weak we couldn't even stand up. And when I did stand up, I was struggling to walk around with one eye. Y'know, lack of depth perception and all that ...
Aaaand Marina just fell asleep on my bed. Fuck she's adorable.
Welp, I guess that this is it for now. I don't know what may happen in the future of Off the Hook anymore
But the one thing I know for sure is that we're not giving up. And neither should you.
