has in no way been googling the ingredients of holy chrism with a view to their skin-irritating properties for nefarious fanfic purposes. No siree bob.

Balsam can be a skin irritant (it is often used in cosmetics regardless), though I will say it's one that's never seriously bothered my otherwise easily annoyed skin when in a carrier oil. Like, say, olive.
(Which is to say, you can probably get away with it being used for SERIOUSLY UNHOLY reasons, but mightn't want to use a bad reaction to it for drama or hurt/comfort. Comedy, OTOH?)
(You know, my head FIRST went to the gen place with this. This fandom has unwarped me or something.)

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Yes, I gathered that balsam was a bad thing. Sufficient googling led me to discover that myrrh, otoh, should be fine and dandy for the, ah, purposes, and is an equally viable ingredient. Ahem.
I hereby apologise to any readers whose sensibilities have not been as thoroughly wrecked as mine. Particularly any of a Catholic disposition. Um.

Again, assuming it's diluted in a carrier oil, it's totally plausable that it wouldn't cause pain or damage. Myrrh is what I use in my hair oil. Well, with some other stuff. Okay, basically, two of the three gifts of the magi go into my jojoba oil base. My hair smells like an Orthodox service.

"What would it take to get your daughter to stop tweeting about this?"
D'oh. Sorry, yes, it's Farscape.
Oh...I know what happened. Netflix doesn't carry the fourth season of Farscape. Bastards. I think I do have access to the fourth season by other methods, but forgot until now. I need to make time to complete that series.
I hereby apologise to any readers whose sensibilities have not been as thoroughly wrecked as mine. Particularly any of a Catholic disposition. Um.
I didn't know balsam was bad. Not Catholic, but you saved me embarrassment if I ever happen to discuss it with a priest.

Balsam's only bad from a possible skin-irritant perspective. It can cause contact dermatitis.

Clearly, this means gold earrings are the way to go.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
So, now that we know there's going to be a fifth season, how about a betting pool about what kind of cliffhanger we'll get at the end of this season?
