Probably dont bother reading this. I find that I retain information better when I type it rather than writing traditionally, and my notes might be absolutely nonsensical or sometimes incorrect as I'm trying to piece together literal anatomy.

Maybe this will help me think clearer, maybe it wont.
I've been too overwhelmed by papers to continue that way anywho ;v;

WARNING: If I post any images they will be in spoilers. DONT CLICK THE SPOILERS without reading any warnings ahead of time, just in case, if you get disturbed by skeletal or muscular features. Nothing will be real photos, but still~ <3
