lost cause | leah williamson x reader

it’s a little blurb for my hurt girlies

warnings: depression, suicidal thoughts n discussions.

“Would you let me die?”

You looked deep into Leah’s eyes, the both of you trying your very hardest to fight back tears as her eyes shot open towards you. She flipped you over in your shared bed, switching you from your position as her little spoon so you were face to face with her.

“What?”

Leah’s words were laced with sleepiness, her body had been mere seconds away from sleep but your words had stopped her exhaustive haze, her eyes blinking furiously as they adjusted to the lack of light in the room, trying to gauge your facial expression.

“Would you let me die?”

Your words were murmured into the room, quiet that Leah was sure she stood a higher chance of hearing a mouse running across the floorboards then your words.

“What are you talking about?”

Leah’s voice waivered, trying to figure out exactly what you werte referring to.

“Would you?”

The conversation had been on your mind for days, the thoughts that had been humming steadily in your brain finally coming to surface in the moment.

“No shit I wouldn’t.”

Leah’s voice was as strong as it could be, her Milton Keynes accent coming on strong as she tried to decipher what exactly was playing in you brain at 3am in the morning that had led you to this point.

“Could you?”

Once again Leah struggled to understand the words and meaning of what you were saying. You’d had a impossible month, becoming the fifth arsenal player to be plagued with the acl disease. You’d had surgery two months ago, and revelry wise you were doing great, mentally you were struggling more than you ever had. Leah was working on it with you, trying her very hardest to keep you happy, to keep you alive. It was hard, there were days where you refused to leave bed, days where she found scars on your wrists that made her feel sick for not being there for you how she had to be.

“I just told you no.”

Leah’s voice held strong in the room, the only thing that could be heard was the sound of the two of you breathing. It had been a rough night to some extent, you were being weaned off the pain meds and it sucked, Leah was trying her hardest but she wasn’t a doctor, nor instant pain relief.

“What if I asked you to?”

Your words hung heavy in the space between you, like a weighted medicine ball falling directly between you on the bed.

It had been a thoguht that had been at the forefront of your brain for weeks, but for you, it felt like an obligation to talk to Leah about it, to prepare her for something that was very quickly beginning to feel inevitable to you.

“Why would you ask me that?l

Leah’s hand managed to travel its way down to your stomach, her fingers clutching onto your sharp stomach muscles, the lines were strong and deft, a map across your torso.

“Do you love me enough to just let me die?”

Leah looked directly into your eyes. Did she love you to death? Did she love you to your grave? It was a question that hurt Leah from the inside out. Was it selfish of her to say no, to say that it was stupid of you to leave her for the rest of her life, when you’d promised her forever.

“I know it’s selfish but-.”

“That’s a fucked up thing to say.”

Leahs voice harshly cut you off, the older woman try her hardest to stay composed as she kept her eye contact with you, it was the only glimpse she had into your thoughts, what exactly you were feeling in this moment.

“I know and I’m sorry Lee, but I had to ask.”

Leah shook her head, no you didn’t. There was a billion worlds where you never should have had to ask, to ask permission to live, to ask permission from her about whether or not she loved you enough to let you go.

“Do you want to die?”

Leah’s words struck a deep frown onto your face, like it had been plastered on with sticky tape and glue. It looked wrong on your face, nights like these were normally spent with you being the happiest you ever were, cuddled up in the arms thay you loved more than anything in the world.

“Are you planning on dying, could you?”

There was no illness, no surgery, no life threatening circumstance that could lead to the end of your life, so it was either planned or paranoia and Leah was leaning to believe it was the first one.

“Could I die?”

Her words twisted around in your brain, your heart racing furiously against Leah’s Arsenal hoodie as you tried to digest what she was saying to you, it wasn’t a meal that was agreeing with your stomach, you could feel the word vomit rising already.

“Could you love me enough to live for me?”

The rephrasing of her words made you feel even sicker, like the nausea you got after eating lactose when you definitely were not supposed to.

“You know I love you Leah.”

Leah’s brow furrowed, because yes, she knew you loved her, you reminded her at least once a day. But what about loving her made you want to die, enough to seek permission.

“So could you live for me, it might be selfish, but please.”

Leah’s words invoked an i necessary amount of uncomfortable silence that spread out like a blanket across your shared bedroom, even the dogs lying at the base of your bed seemed to understand the memo, their snores silencing for a second whilst you and Leah just stared at eachother.

“Leah, I can’t do this anymore.”

She knew that, knew that more than anyone this acl injury had been hell for you. Her once energetic and happy girl had changed, into a person that was completely unrecognisable, it hurt her heart and soul, wondering if she’d ever get her girl back, or if that version of you had died out in the pitch with your injury.

“I know your struggling bunny, but I need you to do this for me, I need you to try. If you can’t keep yourself alive then I will fight every single day for you. Suicide is not the answer for you, you have too good of a life ahead for suicide to be your last chapter.”

Leah often reflected, often prayed that maybe, for whatever reason some things were just meant to be, even when they sucked. Maybe, just maybe, life wasn’t supposed to be easy for you. Maybe you were one of the rare few who could handle tough times and still come out on the other end as a loving person. Maybe it was all falling into place because you are a strong person, you are having this experience for the good of yourself. Maybe it’s gods twisted way of loving you, pushing you through the hard times so you can see the good in life. Maybe for you, this is growth, pain is becoming the new normal. Maybe just giving your all was enough, or maybe it wasn’t. Maybe Leah made up things to make her life easier.

She reached her hands up to the loose hair strands that had fallen in front of your eyes, pushing them back behind your ears so you were forced to look at her dead on.

“How bad is it bunny, is it bad enough that you can’t just try your hardest for me?”

You bit down hard on your lip, contemplating the question silently in your head as Leah awaited your response. You stayed silent for a little while, the only sign you were still alive being your eyes blinking every once a while and your chest rising steadily.

“I’ll try.”

The words were pieces, like chunks of oranges sliced up and scattered across a chopping board, and whilst Leah didn’t exactly hear them she managed to put all the pieces together in her brain.

“I love you.”

Her words came out as one big breath. To Leah, you were as important as oxygen, without you she died as well, your contagious laugh and sparkly eyes were what got her through the rough days and nights and she couldn’t even imagine what life would look like waking up without you.

“I love you more.”

Leah smiled at you gently, coaxingly, how you’d look at a injured puppy.

“You could never.”

Leah pulled your body flush against hers, her hand coming up and under your hoodie and coming to rest on top of your heart, the feeling of your organ pumping against her was pure comfort, a luxury that she allowed herself to be granted. She exhaled deeply as she felt the feeling of your blood being pumped all over your body, to your little toes and your tiny hands.

She knew life right now sucked for you, knew just how much a acl injury made you question every single part of your life, but that didn’t matter to her, what mattered was that you weee slive, and in her arms, finding solace in her gentle touches and broad body.

You intertwined your legs with hers, wrapping her warm ones around your cold ones and slowly beginning to relax against her, as your emotional revelation began to fade from your brain, your promise to Leah breaking every single thought that had been marinating in your head.

“Go to sleep bunny, I’ve got you, nobody is harming you in my arms, even yourself.”

The Hound of the Baskervilles: Mr. Sherlock Holmes

Doyle wrote this on his return from the Second Boer War, where he'd been a volunteer physician at a field hospital.

In 1898, he had written a short story called "The King of the Foxes", having been a fox-hunter for a while. It deals in rather similar themes and is seen as a forebearer to The Hound of the Baskervilles.

Originally serialised in installments in The Strand in 1901, this third of the Sherlock Holmes novels was published in book form in 1902, getting a US release at the same time.

Penang is a state of what is now Malaysia, located on the western coast of the peninsula of that country linked with the rest of Asia. A small and densely-populated state, it consists of Penang Island with the state capital George Town and the mainland, mainly comprising the city of Seberang Perai, today with a population of nearly 950,000. The area was a British colony at the time.

Made from palm cane from Licuala acutifida, the bulbous-headed "Penang lawyer" may be a mispronuncation of the local term pinang liyar or come from the fact it was believed to be used as a method of dealing with disputes, by hitting people with the big end. The Southern and Eastern African knobkerrie is similar in appearance.

One also turns up on "Silver Blaze", where it is considered as a possibility for the weapon used to murder John Straker.

M.R.C.S. stands for Membership of the Royal Colleges of Surgeons, a qualification at post-graduate level for surgeons. Once you get it, you can use the post-nominal letters.

The Charing Cross Hospital was located on Agar Street and was a major medical school. It still is, although it moved location in 1973 to Hammersmith, retaining its name, in a new massive hospital building; it had been decided after the Second World War that it would a good idea to move such a major medical facility out of Central London - it had become cramped in any event. The old site in Agar Street is now Charing Cross Police Station.

House surgeons were recent medical graduates carrying out surgery in a hospital under supervision. The term is still used today, covering a six-month placement in what other places call medical internships.

I believe Medical Officers dealt with general medical issues at the local level, like contagious diseases, sanitation and hospital management.

Parishes are the smallest level of local government administration in England. Historically, civil parishes and ecclesiastical parishes were the same thing, but state and church gradually moved apart, with 1894 seeing the final separation. Many have since disappeared, but about 40% of the English population remain in a civil parish, mostly in rural and urban areas. These range in size from a few hundred people to over 100,000, with Northampton being the largest. They may not be called a Parish Council; a Town Council or even a City Council (eight, including Hereford and Salisbury) are the same thing.

There has been somewhat of a revival of parishes in the 21st century, they can be created via petition and have often been set up to replace boroughs where unitary authorities have merged those with county councils. Milton Keynes is an example, now with ten parishes.

M.R.C.S. holders call themselves "Mr/Ms/Mx/etc." not "Doctor".

A frock coat is a knee-length mens' coat with a skirt-like bottom, popular in this period. It was used as formal day wear, but by 1889 was being replaced by the morning coat in that regard. It ceased being required at the royal court in 1936, but still turns up in some places; like officers of the Household Division. The "Teddy Boys" (and Girls) youth subculture of the 1950s to 1970s also were fans.

Batraculous: The Teen Titans

Socqueline Wang

Hero Name: Spider-Girl

Socqueline was bitten by a radioactive spider and can now shoot webs from her hands. She has no idea where the webs come from.

She's an unapologetic dork, and has a hard time not geeking out over her favorite heroes. She also takes time to visit all of her favorite spots of Paris, even in-costume.

Marinette (a.k.a. Ladybug Bat) looks at her as a sister.

Fei Wu

Hero Name: Beast Girl

After her foster father had given Fei an experimental serum as a baby to cure a terminal disease, she gained the ability to turn into different animals.

Mainly used her powers to help out her dad and entertain kids at school before his death. Afterwards, she decided to use her shapeshifting skills to make criminals pay for hurting others.

Has a tendency to snark about anything and everything, but will keep her mouth shut if her life depends on it.

Vivica Maricel

Hero Name: Deadshot

Due to being raised by an organization of assassins, Vivica is highly trained in sharpshooting, and a master at sniper rifles. She claims to have never missed a shot in her life.

She often uses stun guns and tranquilizers in missions, only killing if the criminal is dangerous enough.

Her and Aeon bond over feeling like fishes out of water at times. Vivica is also working on controlling her temper.

Wayhem Dana

Hero Name: Blue Beetle

He was just your average fanboy of the Bat-Heroes, (Especially Cat Bat) then an alien known as the Scarab bonded to him in his sleep. Now he's got superpowers!

While the suit is on, he has super strength and he can absorb energy and neutralize it. The suit is able to produce a wide array of arnaments, like wings for flight, cannons and shields.

He's a massive dork, something he and Socqueline have in common.

Jessica Keynes-Hill

Hero Name: Green Lantern

While accompanying her mothers Barbara, (Better known by the world as Doctor Strange) and Olympia Hill (better known as Iron Woman) on a mission, she was given a Power Ring by a dying alien. Barbara taught her how to control the ring, and now she uses it to create objects she can use to save the day.

Jessica has a chip on her shoulder, she's keen on making sure she's seen as a grown up in her mom's eyes. This has given her the reputation as the mom of the Titans. She's also pretty good on the guitar and even made a theme tune for the team.

She's very protective of her teammates, especially Aeon.

Aeon Keynes-Hill

Hero Name: Vision

A android created by Olympia, powered by the Mind Stone, which gave her sentience. She's able to hack into nearby systems, shoot lasers, fly, and access information from her database.

She's a total sweetie, always fascinated by humanity, and wants to keep everyone safe. Not even Fei can be snarky around her.

Aeon's always down to help her sister and moms with missions.

Delmar Stahl

Hero Name: Falcon

The son of President Camilla Stahl, a.k.a. Captain America. He has a military wingsuit that he uses to fly and shield people from harm. He has a drone named Hombee for a friend.

He's got half of the super strength his mother got from the serum, but he still trains to keep fit.

The chillest and most charismatic nerd you'll ever meet. Him and Sabrina are dating.

The Titans

The Teen Titans live in Titans Tower, which is located in the center of Paris. Fei permanently stays there.

They frequently work with the Bat-Heroes, and both groups know eachother's identities.

They also work with heroes in New York such as the Avengers (The group led by Captain America, Iron Woman and Doctor Strange) and Ghostforce. They also work with the DigiKnights in Shanghai (Lian Le, Kang Shuunko and Jiao Guang,) and The League of Ladies (Lady Blue from Rio, Lady Tiger from Tokyo and Lady Lion from Dakar)

While they mainly operate in Paris, they also cover open spots of France that are unoccupied by the Bat-Heroes. Both groups go on international missions.

And there's the Teen Titans! Obviously taking heroes from both Marvel and DC, and you'll be seeing more of them. Let me know what you think in detail via the comments and reblogs. Also lemme know your headcanons if you can. @artzychic27 @msweebyness

Doctor Who convention raises thousands for charity

Paul McGann said he enjoyed meeting fans at the event and one gave him a certificate naming a planet after him

Doctor Who actor Paul McGann has praised a convention he took part in after it raised over £17,000 for charity.

The ninth annual Bedford Who event was held on Saturday, where fans paid for autographs and selfies with stars of the BBC television show.

Money raised has been split between Bedford Foodbank, homeless charity Smart, and FACES, which supports vulnerable families.

McGann, who starred in the 1996 Doctor Who TV movie, said the event had a more friendly feel to bigger, "pretty commercial" conventions he had done in America.

Some fans attended the event at King's House in Bedford dressed as characters from the show

He said fans gave him gifts on the day including sweets, artwork and even a naming certificate for a planet.

"It's been lovely, it's been friendly, we can literally look each other in the eye, I prefer that," he said.

The actor, 64, told BBC Three Counties Radio he considered visiting nearby Stony Stratford, where he filmed part of the 1987 film Withnail & I.

A chemist in the town was transformed into a tea room for the black comedy, where McGann and Richard E Grant's characters drunkenly demanded cake and fine wine.

He said: "It was a big deal because Withnail was filmed all in London or the Lakes except just for that little bit of Milton Keynes.

"Do you think if I go back to the place will anybody twig that it's me?"

Organiser Simon Danes said the money raised far exceeded expectations

Organiser Simon Danes said he was "gobsmacked" with the final amount raised and praised "the generosity of Doctor Who fans and kindness of celebrity guests".

The 58-year-old said: "We were expecting about 10k but we weren't expecting it to be as high as that.

Also appearing at the event was Jemma Redgrave, who recently starred on screen alongside David Tennant and new Doctor Ncuti Gatwa.

The organiser added: "Jemma is so busy she doesn't do many conventions, so we honoured she has come to us.

"It's the first time we had a star of the current series with us."

The retired teacher added: "Next year is our 10th anniversary, so we're hoping to do something even more special, don't ask me what is yet."

once again focusing in on dragon-surgeons with laserlike aim. we have several thoughts on this passage, which are as follows:

one: how does one dissect a dragon. what are they doing it with. are there attendants here with those massive two-person saws for this purpose, with the doctors spectating and directing? are the surgeons the guys with the massive saws? the dragons are So big compared to the people, are they crawling around in there? do they have students in attendance as they might at a human dissection?

two: 'dissection' is such a particular choice of word here. if you are taking apart your Coworker after their death that is an Autopsy. if you are taking apart an animal for food after their death that is Butchering, and if you are taking it apart for science that is a Necropsy. it is, what, 1806? dissection is scientific and not really for people you are regarding as People right about now. this is such a Way of pointing out the Strange Social Position of dragons in temeraireverse.

three: again I ask. how does one Become a dragon-surgeon. keynes seems to be equally adept at human medicine, and on his various adventures up to this point laurence hasn't been provided with an additional surgeon for his crew as well as for his dragon. what kind of medical school operations are going on in england and scotland to allow this guy Training. are medical students from edinburgh being funneled out to the covert at (iirc fictional) loch laggan to study dragons? what is the Draconic opinion on post-mortem disassembly for scientific purposes?

Glorious Good Omens S2 Missable Details

I watched Good Omens S2 roughly 507 times the last few weeks (been a rough month, it kept me afloat and I'm eternally grateful), point being:

Tumblr Reader, please benefit from my wild-obsession and read on for good deep-cut bits to pay attention to on your next rewatch:

Episode 1

-Crowley has a very slightly different accent in the opening scene. It's a bit more "proper" and "angelic."

-Maggie's shop is called "The Small Back Room," and she tells Nina it started out as a corner of Aziraphale's bookshop...one of his back rooms.

-Crowley's newspaper says that voters named Tadfield the best village in England--and that the weather there remains perfect.

Episode 2

-There are crows visible and audible in the background riiiight after Crowley "smites" the goats.

-"Jim's" bendy-fan book is a Terry Pratchett's first Discworld novel "The Colour of Magic"

-Someone wrote the whole article! Apparently business at "The Resurrectionist" slowed down when "Everyday" got old, but now people are showing up just to witness the miracle.

-The fellow at the pub who Aziraphale miracles out of a chair has a newspaper that mentions Milton Keynes. Most of the article is out of focus, but Milton Keynes is a city that, in the book, both Crowley and Aziraphale took credit for.

-Job, when introduced, is leaning against a pile of steaming manure. I'm aware that I'm an idiot for not noticing this right away...

Episode 3

-Jim is using a mug that Aziraphale had in the first season. Either he or Aziraphale has added the label in the interim.

-Muriel doesn't say "cup of tea," she says "cuppatea," because she didn't properly hear what Aziraphale said.

-At some unshown point, Crowley takes over body-hauling duties for Elspeth

-Beezlebub hauls their chair horn-ed chair around to 2-3 rooms over the whole season--and is also, on reflection, clearly quite worried about Gabriel here and in episode 1.

-Aziraphale finds the surgeon's whiskey to be a step too far, smell-wise.

-Laudanum courtesy of Cut-me-own-throat-Dibbler. It's a miracle the thing had any effect on Crowley, it was probably mostly rat urine and even more questionably sourced water.

-When Crowley tells Elpeth to leave just before she exits stage left, he calls her "hen," which is what Wee Morag almost always called her.

Episode 4

-Mark Gatiss's (Nazi Male Sidekick) arm is falling off half the time because he's the one who was holding the books that Crowley demonically saved. The nazi's arm was sticking out of the rubble, holding the suitcase, to make it easy to retrieve the books. Hence it got tugged by both Crowley and the scavengers, and fell off by the end of the episode. Serves the book-thief right.

-The Nazi Zombies hang in the Dirty Donkey to spy on the fellas in the bookshop--the same pub Crowley and Aziraphale visit in E2, and the pub that the heaven elevator commanders in E4 and E5

-Aziraphale gets nervous and seems to jump to the end of his act when he asks the audience who has experience with firearms. He hasn't told Crowley that this will be the cue. So, quite reasonably, Crowley does not raise his hand when asked if he has experience with firearms.

-Listen to the credits all the way through to the end of the music here: the audio changes. I don't know music well enough to know what happened, but it's fun.

Episode 5

-The owner of "Marguerite's," the French restaurant, is in fact named Justine. When she goes into Aziraphale's shop for the ball/business meeting, her accent has changed completely.

-All the candles we see on the chandeliers, as well as the candles in the next episode, are battery-operated.

-Nina's the only one this season who gets to drop the f-bomb.

-Mrs. Sandwich and the whole sequence. Google Discworld+seamstress guild if you don't get it.

-The music shop owner took the Doctor Who manual with him when he fled the demons.

Episode 6

-When Crowley changes his clothes to look angelic, the only thing he's wearing that's ACTUALLY white are his hilariously dumbass white slippers.

-The box that Gabriel came with is now storing a bunch of books, pamphlets, and papers. Two of these are the lost Shakespeare plays mentioned in the original Good Omens novel: Golde Diggers of 1589 and The Comedie of Robin Hoode.

-Gabriel's first 2 memories appear after he goes down an orange-red tunnel. But after he and Beezlebub have their first "background" meeting, the tunnel becomes blue. The whole thing ends (after bookending, Crowley says "let there be light" in the first episode and Gabriel says it in this one) with Gabriel's eyes turning purple...blue+red.

-Background acting appreciation: 1) look at Gabriel when Beelzebub says Shax could be Grand Duke of Hell, 2) look at Aziraphale in the corner when Crowley talks to Shax about his apartment, he's nodding vaguely while staring dreamily and it's adorable, 3) also rewind and check out Martin Sheen in episode 2 when the angels come to the shop, he's in the background being terrified and it's amazing

-...I can't resist: based on episodes S01E06 and S02E06, one way or another this'll end with nightingale song

Kelly list of events | Part twelve

(idk what else to call this 😭)

Anon: Anon please!

06. December: her birthday. 10 people wished her well. Of course you have to repost all of them. Who is missing? His family. Not even teasing and reminding Victoria that she has the same birthday as her son got a reaction. Oh and dear you are 34. Just because you like to pretend you are 22 and act like 12 doesn't mean you are actually that age 

08. December: posting a birthday picture with the reservation sign that reads Mr. & Mrs. Verstappen clear in view. They are at desert so the table should have been reset minimum 3 times. This reservation sign usually gets removed as soon as you sit down. But obviously need to imply as always. So pathetic.

09. December: Kelly flew to London to get "fitted" supposedly and fly in full hair and make up to Italy for price giving. Luis Vuitton must not like her as 1. It's not fitted well and 2. Sophie Turner wore it 3 years ago to the Game of Thrones premier. You know am actual 22 year old model.

10. December: Max deleted a picture from his page from Christmas 2021 with Nelson Sr and Kelly

12. December: year end party at Redbull. Of course she couldn't miss that. Doesn't matter it's very cold in Milton Keynes and she is supposedly so sick. No problem taking 4 flights within a 3 days just to party and drink alcohol. Nanny can take care of the kid like she's doing 99% of the time unless mommy dearest needs IG pictures for content

13. December: he actually believes that doesn't he?

15. December: remember how Kelly claimed she was oh so sick poor girl. While partying and flying around. Well thankfully she can use it as advertisement for IV vitamin drips. Not recommended by real doctors but people buying crap from stupid influencers will rather believe those bimbos than medical professionals.

17. December: Kelly friend gets married in Florence. Max looks miserable as always. How many times will he be asked when he's getting married today?

19. December: Kelly is cover model for Vogue Netherlands. Theme is "women in sports". F1 community is not happy and rip Vogue and her to shreds. Look who is back to defend Kelly? Janssen. You thought we forgot. Nope. That's alright we see your backup finsta account in Elisabeth already. Vogue NL only sells 5000 copies a month and a year ago they filed for bankruptcy. They are pay to play now. This photoshoot was organised by Kelly in Brasilia at her family's residency and paid to be published in Vogue. Netherlands naturally. And oh the lies and grooming and making Max look bad by comparing him to her racist and homophobic father.

26. December: not known where Max spend Christmas. No pictures. He was racing sim all day until 22. December. Today they are off to St. Barths for vacation

And now my watch has ended. Several other nonnies have already compiled lists of all the shenanigans that went on since the vacation. In the meantime remember they are the best most in love couple in the history

[tinkerty-tonk-i-said]

Sorry I dislike being negative. I tend to only post positive fandom things. But did I just see a post accusing me of having Stockholm Syndrome or a gas leak or something for liking S2???? Can't find it now but...

I am 35 years old. I’ve got a grown up job. I’ve been around the fandom block. I wrote the, like, 15th BBC Sherlock fic in the kinkmeme and lasted right through TJLC and I'm still normal about the experience. I've been a fan of GO since I was 15. I have read it so much I had to stop reading it because I knew every joke inside out. I still laugh about Milton Keynes whenever Milton Keynes is mentioned IRL.

I am not a particular Neil Gaiman fan and like some things he writes and dislike others. He once mansplained Doctor Who to me on Twitter (without me even tagging him) and it pissed me off. I also generally want creators to avoid fandom. I am a BIG Pratchett fan and never forget GO is half his.

S2 is an odd beast but it gives a lot more than I expected. To be listened to and catered to even half as much as as fan is moving. It makes me excited for more. Some bits made me laugh... just because they were just funny.

I like it... because I fucking *like it*.

I get why it's not everyone's cup of tea but don't act like the only sane brain in the room just because YOU dislike something. Go nuts with your own critiques, rip it apart, I'm not stopping you, but you don't get a monopoly on fan experience.

Drucker es el primer científico social que utiliza la expresión «post-modernidad». Peter Drucker es el pensador más influyente del mundo en el campo de la administración de empresas. La riqueza de sus pensamientos es producto de su personalidad.

Ha sido un colaborador asiduo de revistas como The Atlantic Monthly y fue columnista de The Wall Street Journal desde 1975 hasta 1995. Su primera labor como consultor fue en 1940. Desde entonces trabajó ampliamente en los Estados Unidos, Europa, América Latina y Asia, para grandes empresas, agencias gubernamentales y organizaciones sin fines de lucro.

Entre los años 1975 y 1995 fue editorialista del Wall Street Journal, además de colaborador de la Harvard Business Review.

Un hombre que reconoce que su perfil no es el de Economista, ni de ejecutivo, su mayor interés son las personas. En 1933 fue a Londres, trabajó en un Banco, y fue alumno de Maynard Keynes, anteriormente en Bonn fue discípulo de Joseph Schumpeter, hoy es la última persona que esta con vida y que tomo clases con estas dos grandes figuras. «Tanto Keynes como Schumpeter tienen muchísimo que enseñarnos, pero más en la forma que debemos pensar económicamente, que en relación con sus teorías específicas, como tesis económica el Keynesismo fallo donde fue aplicado, Schumpeter nunca tuvo una política económica, si fue válido el concepto de que el desequilibrio es el estado normal de la salud de la Economía.»

A los 31 años, empieza su vida como Consultor de Empresas Multinacionales en General Motors, es entonces que empieza a dar forma a la teoría del Management, tendencias de Gestión, la sociedad del conocimiento. » La mejor estructura no garantizará los resultados, ni el rendimiento. Pero la estructura equivocada es una garantía del fracaso» » No trates de innovar para el futuro, innova para el presente», son algunas de sus frases más divulgadas.

Considera que la práctica es base del management, esta disciplina atribuida a él, requiere de practica para poder ser aplicada.» Solo cuando una practica esta lo suficientemente madura, los académicos pueden realizar contribuciones de importancia, ya que sin práctica el académico no puede producir contribución al Management.

Ha publicado libros y artículos, todos ellos hoy son obras a las que se acude para la consulta de conceptos innovadores. En sus obras prima tanto lo científico, como lo humano, lo económico, lo histórico, el arte y lo filosófico.

En la década del 40, durante 7 años fue profesor de Filosofía y Política en el Bennington College. Profesor de Management en la Universidad de New York para graduados de la escuela de Negocios en los años 50, actualmente una escuela de negocios lleva su nombre y él la preside.

Al pensar, pone las verdades sobre una cuerda floja, haciendo las preguntas más obvias, correctas, que ayudan a pensar sin perjuicios, de visión pluridimensional y sintético, característica del autentico humanista.

Hoy perdura su asesoramiento a Empresas y a la nueva generación de jóvenes. Reconoce que en estos tiempos las viejas generaciones aprenden de las nuevas, y el humanismo sigue siendo el pilar de su discurso. Nuestras ideas se han visto trastocadas en sus conceptos gracias a la innovadora forma de pensar y analizar los temas empresarios por parte de Drucker.

Hombre con la virtud de leer entre líneas, sin embargo gracias a su rigor intelectual se lo diferencia en el grupo de pensadores futuristas, y su capacidad de interpretar el presente lo habilita para exponer sus conceptos. Las tendencias de los negocios en los últimos 50 años, han sido expuestas en sus obras, definiendo la sociedad del conocimiento como la base de la actual empresa y de la del futuro. Fue el primero en dar una definición clara de negocio. A los 90 y tantos disfrutaba de la natación en forma diaria, su premisa era mantenerse en forma, aunque usaba bastón, su ritmo al caminar era igual que el de cualquier persona.
