Grand Line Academy
Grand Line is more or less a public school that consists of a twisted hierarchy. Each student has a ‘bounty’ over their name, the bigger the bounty, the more well-known you are around the campus. The school itself is notorious for its cliques and competitive sports among the students. Only the strongest will have their name stamped into the school's history.
The Worst Generation does exist in this story, but everyone is still broken down into their own crews.

I love that Gentleman Jack as a show is advertised as Anne Lister being this swashbuckling womaniser who just seduces the ladies left and right with her rake-ish charmes. And then you watch the show and really her secret is that she sincerely and deeply loves all her girlfriends and treats them like human beings and listens to them and that her heart breaks a thousand times when she loses one of her partners to obligatory marriage and she tells them their opinions are important to her and has deep conversations with them about serious topics that men would find unsuitable and she makes it clear that she is interested in what they tell her. Like...that's her entire secret here. She cares.

Let's talk about this moment real quick. Spoilers for Dual Destinies, especially the final case:
I've made me jests, but...
Athena isn't confused here because she's stupid.
She's confused because she's spent the better part of 7 years training, studying, and fighting her inner demons for the sole purpose of saving Simon. He was (and still is) one of the most important people in her life and now he's saying that it isn't? After all of this?
Simon is a key part of Athena's trauma, that he'd go and throw his life away for seemingly no reason at all (her memories of UR-1 blocked out with only the grim setting of the courtroom he was sentenced to death in being vivid). Her mother was dead, Aura was no doubt incandescent and wondering why Simon is covering for the true killer, and she was sent to Europe away from her friend Juniper (though they did exchange letters).
The day Phoenix inspired her to pursue a career as an attorney, she had some way of reaching out to and maybe even saving someone she knew from her past. The last tether to happier days in the Space Centre before UR-1, one that knew and forged a strong student-master bond with her mother Metis Cykes. Fighting hard to break out of her shell and become as physically and mentally strong as she could.
She says as much during her conversation with him above, and to Phoenix & Pearl in the detention centre earlier that day/
She practically changed her entire personality over that period of time to be as strong as she possibly could be - enough that her childhood friend didn't recognise her at first:
All driven by a desire to salvage what she saw as a terrible mistake. If she could save this one person from her past, then perhaps they'll both have a chance at making peace with what happened that day.
With how well Simon knew the Cykes - seeing them for more than their stoic and awkward exteriors - it's fair to say they were familiar with one another. Athena's fixation on him is partly a result of trauma, yes, but it also speaks to unspoken happy memories of this black-clad dork who visits her mother and seems to understand her better than most anyone else did... even compared to her mother, it felt at times.
And he does understand her, knowing how to push and test her abilities in court and forming silent plans to catch the phantom together despite spending 7 years apart.
One of the bad endings for Turnabout for Tomorrow - where they fail to crack Simon's testimony - mentions that Athena left the office after the fact. Ignoring that they skipped over Clay's trial for a moment, we hear that Apollo and Phoenix take this event rather poorly, yet we don't hear a peep about Athena:
I can only speculate. Maybe that's the point; leaving us to wonder what Athena did after she failed to save Simon from his execution date. I'm sure Simon died reassuring himself about how Athena no longer has to bear the guilt for her mother's death. But I doubt that's any comfort given her intense reaction to re-living memories of failing to save him the first time.
Near and dear. Again. She's already failed to save someone she describes as near and dear - on par with Juniper at least - and she's left frozen in shock at the prospect of failing a second time.
She's confused by the notion that Simon's life isn't important because of just how much she values it. How she had no option but to save him, or be locked back into that dark place she entered when that horrible trial ended - knowing she's failed a dear friend because of how foolish she is.

Finally saw a Season 8 finale that I liked! The creator for Psych on the after-show was saying, "Series finales are never satisfying to me...I wanted to make it feel like it was an episode of the show and it was fun, and you feel like these guys are out having these adventures. They're just not going to be on your TV next Wednesday."
And almost 10 years later, I'm over here, like, YES THANK YOU FOR BLESSING MY SOUL

I am actually crying after watching that scene for like 15 times straight (gay). Everything in that scene just pulls at my heart strings.
Sipping tea (I am assuming it's tea)!!!! Comfy clothes!!! The way they are so comfortably sharing each other's space!!!
The way Wylan opens up to Jesper and tells him that Ketterdam has never really felt like a home. I haven't read the books yet but from the fics I do know that he has had an abusive childhood and his own house surely could have never felt quite like home either.
The way Wylan tries to be so nonchalant while saying “so of course I came back” and then the way he says with conviction that there's no one better than him!!!! I am so proud of him 🥹
And then the way Jesper is listening to him so intently and then makes that key with the coin he was playing around with in his other hand and the twinkling sounds in the background 🥹
It's so obvious that it's a key but Wylan does not assume and asks Jesper what the key opens. The way Wylan is a bit unsure and then hopeful but still processing the information that yes indeed that key is the key to the kingdom inside Jesper's room that could be their home :"",,,)
And I cannot even process that kiss right now. ...
I am just so emotional right now. Wylan and Jesper and their love means so much to me 💙💜💖🫶🏼

Rumps, I genuinely mean this in the nicest way possible, but you might need to go to a different therapist if they refuse to/ can't diagnose you with something despite you having the symptoms™? I'm saying this out of personal experience, but lots of doctors simply suck ass when it comes to anything but mild standard depression or anxiety, especially since there's still lots of stigma surrounding anything else. Also I get the desire to stay unknown™, but seriously when it comes to stuff like mental health, it might be best to continue looking for someone who knows what's going on and can help you with things that may distress you. You don't need to ofc, and I really hope this ask doesn't come off as being too controlling or smth, but yeah
Ok I dont like going into detail on this stuff but basically, while I have various symptoms, I don't fill the full criteria for any DSM-V diagnosis (acc to three differently specialized therapists), which really just means that a lot of the most helpful types of therapy and medication for specific disorders may not be helpful to me. A diagnosis is mostly supposed to help you know how to manage right? Well I manage pretty good mostly!
That said I'm not in distress, I'm seeing a doctor soon about a possible route to go, and I do fairly well on average so dont worry bout little ol me
