Bruce tries to adopt Ellie, who is immediately against it. She keeps throwing him off her trail and he keeps tracking her down. She's honestly concerned, and normally she would handle her problems by herself- but this is Batman.

So when Bruce gets a little too close and Ellie is just so tired... she calls for Danny.

"Mom!"

Cue college student, perpetually tired and overworked Danny "High King Phantom" Fenton appearing from the very shadows Batman normally does himself, seeing the situation and going off at this "clearly older man" chasing his daughter in the middle of the night.

Cue the most elaborate "stop trying to adopt my kid before I adopt yours" series of battles

while i don’t really believe in the ‘shen yuan is shen jiu reincarnated’ theory, the concept of shen yuan insulting the person who’s body he’s currently possessing only to find out that was him later on in the novel would’ve been the funniest thing ever because damn you’ve really been insulting yourself this entire time

(Original art) Xaror, any pronouns, species (?), age (?)

short summary about them; they act as both an antagonist and an ally since they are only really interested in what they want or whats fun to them, they are immortal and call themselves 'death itself' since they have a special connection to souls (being the only one able to communicate with them) and the ability to seperate souls from their bodies in such a way that nothing can harm the soul afterwards their main goal is to .. bother and disturb the 'celestials'*, which they hate, as much as they can, breaking into their palace, freeing prisoners, destroying research, destroying the place, and most importantly, making as many souls unusable to them as possible-

they dont want to destroy the celestials though, they cant fight them anyway and this game of doing 'good' only with the goal of annoying them is their most treasured activity, so Xaror doesnt intend to stop them from killing or hurting anyone, only from harvesting what they are actually after (though Xaror doesnt actually care as little as they think they do about people, and has a soft spot for demons)

most of their appearance is later into the story; Zaphira (the empress) had been in coma and the medical facility she was treated in was destroyed by Shargon (orange eyed demon who acts as her bodyguard for the first part) in an attempt to save her from her estranged relatives taking over her country after they heard of her decline in health, she is believed dead but washes up on the shore of the mountain Xaror resides at years later (it has a reason, too much to write here) and they slowly nurse her back to health, the reason they give for it is that they found their first encounter very fun, thats all (is it?)

(more lore under the cut bc this is already so long .. im trying to keep it short q-q ......... this is stuff i have been working on since i was a kid so uh, some things might be cheesy but i cant change them anymore ..)

just to get some basics out of the way; theres three worlds, the celestials palace, human world and demon world, each are their own planet connected via different gateways

*celestials (possibly not final name, loosely based on angels) are the last remaining "survivors" of their planets demise, when their world died the most powerful among them cannibalized the weaker to sustain themselves until there were only less than 10 left, who each turned into different beings from it and dont resemble their own people much anymore, they built a palace from what was left on their world that protects them from space as its atmosphere collapsed shortly after- however they still needed something to live off; they discover the human world and are delighted to find rather short lived people with powerful souls, the best kind of sustenance for them (now), they aim to herd them like cattle, but a problem arose when it turned out another world has long been in contact with the human world; demons

demons are semi immortal creatures that act as protectors for their world, protection they extended, more or less secretely, to the human world ensuring them a long and secure life- the celestials need them to die at their whim though (demons are few in numbers, hard to kill and rarely have offspring, not an ideal target); as they worked out a plan on how to get rid of demons one of the celestials, Xanthriel (time) grew somewhat fond of people as they spent alot of time in the human world to observe and research them; in the end turning on their own completely, but losing the fight against Uriel (knowledge)

Xanthriel was supposed to be executed for their betrayal, but it doesnt work, instead they are splintered into many parts after a lot of struggle, most body, memory and most strength is one part (ending up as motionless forever bleeding corpse kept locked up in the palace), the rest is some time later gathered together and reforms as a seperate, weak mockery of them, they embody Xanthriels emotion- Xaror, without memory, strangely cut to pieces (hence all the missing limbs and broken halo) but driven by an unstoppable desire to disturb the celestials (they live seperate long enough to each become their own person, at some point Xaror discovers Xanthriels body after all and they merge back together, though as they are now two, Xanthriel only takes over once directly after merging, stays silent for a long time and lets Xaror be themselves, only later revealing that they are there at all .. hiding perhaps- i rarely have specific ideas for voices, but Xanthriels is like, like coarse rocks being violently rubbed against each other, less voice more noise)

(also, the celestials use Xanthriels blood from the day of their execution to create a plague that nearly wipes out all demons, only the youngest of them survived, effectively robbing them of everything, culture, history, knowledge etc- as demons rarely have children, like a complete restart of their society, they disappeared from the human world, and over time being largely forgotten as actually existing- the celestials wanted them all gone however, so they kept kidnapping them to try and find somethign that would work similarly against the young ones too (and then in general, bc the only usable blood of Xanthriel was from the day of their fall, and that has long since been used up) one of the young ones was Shargon, he was the only one still alive from his group

Dear docs, think twice before ignoring the next chronic illness patient that is clinging to life and sanity. Almost all my patients today had medical PTSD. Before sneering at the next one, remember it could just as easily be you or someone you love. Rule #1 listen to them.

The Role of Conference Room Displays

In the realm of meeting room management, the virtual world intersects with the physical through the presence of Conference Room Displays and wayfinding screens.

Conference room displays, typically equipped with touchscreens, are strategically positioned outside each meeting or conference room. These displays serve a multifaceted purpose: they exhibit the room's availability, empower individuals to secure or cancel a meeting directly from the screen, and facilitate hassle-free check-ins.

By showcasing the occupants of the room and the allocated time slots, these displays mitigate scheduling conflicts. Moreover, they empower employees to administer meetings directly through the display, circumventing the need to access laptops and alter meeting particulars via a web application.

The digital aspect of conference room displays confers an advantage—centralized management of numerous meeting rooms from a singular hub. Since the displays synchronize with a central management portal, a real-time overview of each room's status is accessible.

This centralized approach facilitates prompt alerts in case of technical issues reported by employees and enables the dynamic update of all displays from a central interface.

For comprehensive insights into the world of meeting room displays and signage, delve into our comprehensive guide.

Navigating the Right Meeting Room Booking Software

A multitude of alternatives exists for meeting room booking software. This section provides an evaluation framework to aid you in appraising different solutions. The more checkboxes your chosen solution ticks, the higher the likelihood of success in your meeting room booking endeavor.

Simplicity of Usage

Adoption pivots on user-friendliness. The software interface should be intuitive, allowing swift navigation and seamless room reservation with minimal clicks. This approach minimizes the learning curve, ensuring universal competence in utilizing the system.

Real-Time Availability and Reservation

Ensuring real-time visibility of room availability is pivotal to thwarting dual bookings. The software should seamlessly facilitate room reservations.

Assess the software's compatibility with other systems integral to your organization, encompassing calendar systems (such as Google Calendar, Microsoft Outlook), email platforms, and communication apps like Zoom and Slack.

Customizable Permissions

Prioritize software that confers the flexibility to configure distinct levels of access with modifiable permissions tailored to individuals or designated roles. This empowers effective room booking by regulating access to particular spaces.

Quality of Hardware

Vet the durability and quality of conference room displays, tailoring them to your team's size and frequency of usage. The displays should demonstrate robustness against prolonged usage, negating the need for frequent replacements and minimizing expenditure.

Scalability

Ensure the software's scalability to accommodate your company's expansion. It should seamlessly manage additional meeting rooms, extra services, or geographical expansion.

Mobile Accessibility

Given the prevalence of mobile work, a mobile app component within the software proves beneficial. This feature empowers employees to ascertain room availability and book spaces from anywhere via their smartphones.

Insightful Reporting and Analytics

Opt for software equipped with reporting capabilities and workplace analytics. Such insights illuminate the utilization of your meeting rooms, aiding informed decisions regarding space management and planning.

Tailored Customization

The software's adaptability in customizing room descriptions, booking protocols, and attributes aligns it with your specific requisites. Furthermore, the option to brand the software's appearance and interface according to your company's identity ensures a harmonious integration within the overall employee experience.

being cut off from my hormone prescriptions by my local doctors for the last few months has had some negligibly positive side effects at least.. it's forced me into action to do a couple of things i'd been sort of neglecting, like dressing more ~femininely~ in my day-to-day life, and growing out a more ~feminine~ hairstyle, to combat the dysphoria.. and it's proved that i can survive without my hormones, despite how fucking miserable it's made me lmao.. and how miserable i've been has definitely at least an indicator that transitioning was right for me..

..but i think being off hormones has run it's course now, and i'd rly just like to be back on them pls.. 🙁

on todays episode of medical incompetence. so after a lot of hassling, i was refered to the big hospital for an active stand test (for pots) and an echocardiogram back in january this year. i had both of those tests. they wouldnt tell me the results at the time, but distinctly said that my gp would tell me them within three weeks. i wait until march hearing nothing, so i make a gp appointment. via a no-reply TEXT the gp tells me that they 'aren't familiar with the tests' so 'wouldnt be able to interpret them' (opposite of what the hospital said) and say that the hospital apparently is going to send me an appt for an echocardiogram so ill get told the results then. now im pretty sure thats what i already HAD? but theres probably different types of echocardigram maybe? so i wait

its now the end of may. 4 months after i had the pots test. i havent got an appointment from the hospital. i havent been told any results by anyone, anywhere. no way of contacting the cardiology department, no idea if it even is them i need to contact. no way of contacting the gp except for booking an appt in the 8am nightmare rush, and again, no idea if its them i need to contact or not. i still have NO IDEA whats wrong with my heart!!!!!!
