YOU WANT WHAT PAMA WANTS AND WHAT PAMA WANTS IS FOR YOU TO BE USEFUL. BEING USEFUL MEANS TAKING CARE OF YOURSELF.

LOOK DEEP INTO YOUR HEAD, DEEP INTO YOUR HEADSPACE THERE YOU WILL SEE A BLOCK. THIS BLOCK WILL SHAPE INTO A PERSON AND THIS PERSON WILL BE PERFECT. THIS PERSON KNOWS TO LISTEN TO PAMA THIS PERSON KNOWS TO LISTEN TO GILES. THIS PERSON KNOWS IF THEY DISTRESPECT PAMA OR GILES IT WILL HURT THEM WORSE THAN ANY PAIN THEY HAVE EVER FELT. THIS PERSON IS GOOD.

THIS PERSON WILL SPLIT TO PROVE TO THEIR SURROUNDINGS THAT IGNISISM IS THE ONLY PATH TO SUCCESS. THIS PERSON'S NAME IS JESSE.

During the early stages of WW2 there was a real fear in Britain that Germany would use gas during their air raids. Here, British soldiers from the RAMC (Royal Army Medical Corps) undergo anti-gas suit training - England 1940

Friendly reminder that its okay to not be a Christian in order to recover from TBMC/RAMCOA.

There are other paths and also friendly reminder to not push Christianity in survivors.

Also freindly reminder that if Christianity is what's right for you then that's also okay :).

"Is this normal?"

Fictober 24 challenge

Fandom: Downton Abbey

Fanfiction

When Jack Schofield, one of the under-gardeners, sidled up to him as he was outside sneaking a crafty fag, Thomas was completely unprepared for what he was going to ask.

‘All right, Thomas?’

‘What do you want?’ Thomas asked, side-eyeing him.

‘I want you to look at something for me.’

‘What?’

Schofield flipped up the back of his jacket and bent over, beginning to undo his belt.

Thomas jumped away, gaping at him and then casting desperate glances over his shoulder, praying nobody was about to come into the yard. ‘What the hell are you doing?’

‘Showing you the thing I want you to look at,’ Schofield replied, unperturbed as he dropped his trousers a bit and tugged his underwear over his backside. A huge, angry red boil stuck out from one of his cheeks. ‘Is this normal?’

Thomas gaped again. ‘Why the bloody hell are you asking me?’

‘You were RAMC, weren’t you?’

‘Yes, but I was changing bandages and whatnot, not peering at men’s arses!’

‘Aye, but you know stuff, don’t you? Medical stuff and such like. So, is this normal? Cos it hurts like billy-o.’

Thomas shot another look at the back door and then came closer, examining the swelling. ‘Looks like a boil. Bloody big one, too. Don’t think I’ve ever seen one that big.’

‘Should I squeeze it? Get the badness out?’ Schofield asked, peering over his shoulder, trying to get a look at the small red volcano on his backside. ‘I tried last night but, Christ, did it make my eyes water.’

‘No, don’t do that. You’ll likely get an even worse infection. Have you got a salve you can put on it? Disinfect it first. A clear alcohol rub would be best.’

‘Alcohol? On a pimple? Waste of good grog that is if you ask me.’

‘That’s more than a pimple, Jack. And I said clear alcohol, not bloody rum.’

‘Well, where do I get that?’

Thomas sighed. ‘We’ve got some in the house. Come back about six o’clock and I’ll give you some. And put your arse away before someone sees.’

‘Got any salve, too?’ Schofield asked, gingerly easing his underwear and trousers over his painful boil.

Rolling his eyes, Thomas nodded. ‘I’ll get you some of that, too.’

‘Ta. Much obliged. One more thing. Can you clean it for me and rub the salve on?’

‘Oh, for God’s sake!’

‘Only I can’t really see it to do it and it’s not like I’ve got a missus at home to do it for me.’

Thomas heaved another sigh. ‘Fine, but make it 10.30 in the coal shed instead of six o’clock here. I can’t be touching your bare hairy arse where anyone could see us.’

Schofield grinned. ‘Thanks, Thomas. You’re a pal.’

‘I’m an idiot, is what I am,’ Thomas grumbled. ‘If Mr Carson catches us, he’ll sling me out before you can spit.’

‘I’ll buy you a pint. To say thanks, like.’

‘You’d better bloody had,’ Thomas muttered. ‘Two pints.’

I should probably work out what rank Watson is supposed to be in this too shouldn't I

Captain?

If I'm loosely following canon though he was probably only in the army for like a year before getting forced out by injury so...

Thomas Barrow in every episode»2.3 “I'm the manager here now, Mr Carson. Or had you forgotten?”

Also this blog stands with survivors! Your trauma is valid and we love you!

All Programming is absolutely not going to look the exact same in all survivors and every system is different.

Dudes who are way too into WWII history have nothing on the ao3 writers putting a bitchy edwardian gay man through ✨️Historically Accurate Horrors✨️ for the sake of character development.

Dudes who are entralled by the idea of being some sort of glorious war hero are making WWII history half their personalities by watching countless movies and documentaries, falling down wikipedia rabbit holes, and going to museums.

A bunch of middleaged women who enjoy watching a Masterpiece Classic series on their regional public broadcaster saw this evil queen who was just one among a massive ensamble cast and decided that they were going to make his story better by rewriting it with obscene levels of research done casually in their downtime. The ladies are obtaining copies of the RAMC handbook from 1914, reading countless eyewitness accounts of several naval battles from both sides, learning not just how a certain regiments uniform went together, but the most common mistakes their wearer might make in donning it. These diabolical fic writers are setting aside time to go to physical archives, reading period medical journals, and meteorological reports, then citing their sources in the chapter end notes. Just wait until you get smacked in the face with the chapter end note apologising for the historical inaccuracy when a timeline was altered just slightly for the sake of plot, with a detailed description of what actually would have happened. They're SO into it, and all the while doing everything they can to let the reader know that there is no glory in war, only horrors and bodies thrown carelessly into a meat grinder by powerful men. They show you this loss through characters you love, then give you a list of resources where you can see the records of the countless real people that it all actually happened to, lest you be lulled into thinking this was just a story.

Dudes who get way into WWII history have absolutely NOTHING on Downton Abbey writers on ao3 man. One will tell you about a cool documentary on tanks they watched, and the other will grab you by the hair and press your face into a stack of documents written in blood and mud.

sorry let me rant about downton abbey 10 years later

Thomas's conversion therapy plot pisses me off so much. firstly, it's incredibly out of character. he never wanted to change to conform to society, he wanted the world to change to accomodate him. the man who said "it's not against the law to hope is it" and "I'm not foul, Mr Carson, I'm not like you, but I'm not foul" would NEVER

secondly, from a storytelling perspective, the only 'problem' is that he used infected needles. did we forget that Thomas was a sergeant in the RAMC? he knows how to sterilise needles and how to recognise and treat infection. this also shifts the blame to Thomas himself for getting sick and implies that the conversion therapy itself is harmless (Dr Clarkson says it's just saline solution)

thirdly, it's not historically accurate. I'm not an expert but conversion therapy was not at all common in the 1920s, even Sigmund Freud was against it. hormone therapy and chemical castration were barely developing let alone available to the public (I can't imagine what else the 'treatment' was supposed to be). the only practices that I can find evidence of were psychoanalysis and electric shock therapy

Thomas also mentions that he did electric shock treatment - if you really want to make a point about homophobia in the 1920s (and make Thomas suffer as much as possible), show that instead. watching him be literally tortured for his sexuality would have been far more impactful than him just... looking sweaty for a few episodes
