Therapy needed

Danny needed therapy, that was pretty obvious. After the whole "my future self killed everyone because my family died" thing it became pretty obvious that he needed to acknowledge his traumas and deal with them properly before another Dan happened or his emotions just exploded. The fact that his parents wanted to kill him and no one would acknowledge his death was making things worse.

So he asked his sister for help, but Jazz being annoyingly responsible commented that he couldn't become her patient, something about how personal feelings could cloud her judgment and family can't give each other therapy. Danny thought it was a bit hypocritical considering she used him as a lab rat with her psychology books but decided not to say anything.

The fact that Jazz could not be his therapist made everything 10 times more complicated. First of all because Danny had a trauma with psychologists (and wasn't that ironic? He blamed Spectra for that), and secondly that no one would believe his whole life story or keep it a secret. It was unfortunate that the Yetis were general health doctors and not mental health doctors because that would have solved his problem.

Just as he was about to give up and continue to treat his traumas as a recurring joke, Jazz introduced him to someone. Her name was Harleen Frances Quinzel and she was completely crazy, but according to Jazz she was excellent at her job. Danny had his doubts but in the end he agreed to have an appointment with her.

Strangely, Harley Quinn lived up to his sister's expectations, not being upset when Danny asked to change the decor of the place (Spectra had done a number on his head, common offices became uncomfortable for him), nor when Danny almost froze her by accident. Harley was patient, attentive and considered all his suggestions, accepting or denying as needed. Danny liked it.

The only complaint the halfa had were about the stalkers on the roof who were always watching him on his way to and from Harley's house, it was getting very annoying. One of them panicked when Danny came out crying - couldn't a ghost face his traumas in peace!?

Orodreth: So how is Thingol handling being an empty-nester?

Beleg: This is Turin, his new mortal son. We're working on getting mom and sister too.

Orodreth: Gotcha.

you'd think i'd feel bad about edwin having to grapple with the geopolitical changes after 73 years in hell (when he went in, one country had declared independence from great britain in 1776, and when he came out, 50+ had. also prussia was completely gone), but no, i feel bad for charles. even if he had paid meticulous attention in all his history classes, he still is in no way, shape, or form prepared to try and get edwin caught up with speed, let alone with accuracy or nuance.

that being said, i'd pay good money for any flashbacks in season 2 of charles trying his best.

Someone pissed me off a couple of days ago

So! Below are several links to programs and foundations that promote adult literacy! Hundreds of millions of adults world wide were failed by their education system and now must fend for themselves while trying to read contracts and hospital bills and infographics from the CDC. But they don't have to be alone, and it is never too late to learn!

ProLiteracy: A network of educators, researchers, and advocates which provides research reports, learning materials, and other support to adult education programs. They assist with connecting volunteers to local programs and provide guidance and support to community leaders trying to use their programs' findings to advocate for social and political change.

Adult Literacy League: An adult education program in Central Florida, which aims to provide students with one on one attention to foster growth and confidence. It also offers English Second Language courses and job skills training, and each new student receives a comprehensive assessment to determine the best plan for them.

Saint Vincent and Sarah Fisher Center's Foundational Skills Program: A 100% free adult education program aimed at adults reading below a fifth grade level. It operates year round and is either in person or remote, and they now have a GED testing center that is open to students and the public alike.

Washtenaw Literacy: A free network of trained tutors for adults in Washtenaw County, Michigan.

Adult Learning Program (Las Vegas/Clark County): Free education classes to those lacking a high school diploma, those seeking to learn ESL, and adults who read below an eighth grade level. Also assists in students' search for gainful employment. Nevada got so fucked by COVID and the education/literacy numbers in the South West are grim. Please help these guys.

Hawaii Literacy: In addition to helping adult residents of Hawaii Island learn to read and write AND bridging the education gap in Hawaii's underserved children, they offer computer literacy classes, ESL classes, and a bookmobile. 1 in 6 Hawaiian adults struggle to read and write.

Pleasure to Meet You

Heine Wittgenstein (The Royal Tutor)

As Heine was teaching the princes in one of the many rooms in the palace, a little red-haired girl was playing with a kind maid who was hired to look after her pacifically. It was one of Heine's reasons for working there. They were in the gardens looking for butterflies and other animals that she wouldn't mind playing with like Shadow, the dog.

However, she saw a blue butterfly across the garden a bit and ran towards it. She tripped. She wouldn't allow anyone to get near her though, so the maid looking after her asked one of the guards to fetch Professor Heine. They did it straight away.

~knock knock~

"Come in," Heine told the person on the other side of the door and the guard came in. The princes asked if their father, the king, wanted them and they said no.

"Professor Heine, there is a child crying in the garden and the maid told me to come and get you as she will not allow anyone else anywhere near her." As soon as he finished Heine was out the door and making his way into the garden. When he got there he could hear the crying of the child.

The princes had followed him and were shocked to to their stoic professor hugging a cute little red-haired and e/c eyed girl who was holding onto him, scared to be let go. They still found it so adorable though.

Once the child had calmed down, Heine was just holding the child and gave her maid the rest of the day knowing she wouldn't let him go for the rest of the day. When he turned around to ask a guard to tell the princes that the rest of the lesson was cancelled, he was kind of surprised to see them in front of him.

"Princes," he paused, "what are you doing here?" He questioned them.

"We followed you," Leonhard told Heine without a second thought.

He just sighed and looked at the child in his arms and saw that she was hiding her face in his chest but also looking at the four princes.

"Mas- I mean professor, if you don't mind us knowing who is the child you are holding?" Bruno asked as he watched the little girl.

"This is my daughter," Heine started after letting out a sigh. "Y/n Wittgenstein. Before you ask I brought her with me as her mother has gone away." He told them in a way he hoped they would understand.

They did but it took Leonhard a while. Heine had put y/n on her feet by now and she was behind his legs looking around them just staring at the second eldest prince. Kai thinking he is scaring her looks away hoping she would come out. However, when Kai looks away she runs out and dashes into his legs. She held on to them while looking up at him with tears in the corner of her eyes.

"D-do you n-not like m-me?" Y/n asked as she watched him. Everyone else was just watching shocked. Kai quickly bends down to her height and starts patting her head.

"No, I just did not want to scare you," Kai told her in a soft and gentle voice and smiled softly at her.

Y/n grinned at him and introduced herself to him even though Heine already had. He kept smiling at her.

"I'm Kai Von Granzreich."

He was the only prince that she warmed up to so quickly despite what the other princes said. ~They were jealous of him~ Heine was just happy that y/n had come out of her shell a little. Then a thought popped into his head...

'Maybe I should introduce y/n to Princess Adele next.'

The end.

Salieri’s whole childhood experience of being orphaned while prior having not so good relationship with his father, and then pretty much tutoring every willing person free of charge and leading charity concerts for any category of people makes him so admirable honestly

Man looked at his past experiences and said ‘no one’s having same shit on my watch’ and high key parented almost everyone he met or tutored in his life

I feel like no matter what class or amount of fucked up spirit origin Salieri always will prioritize children or teens be it humans or other servants. Even if it’s child like servants with adult minds he still acts on his parenting instinct without being insulting to other party (and they probably don’t even notice it until much later).

If anything even happens man will BEND his own already fucked up and extremely unstable spirit origin and even maybe overcome his own Innocent Monster/Man in Gray aspect to PROTECC and ATACC if it means young ones will be save

Salieri really be thinking he’s not that good of an any positive image of a mentor or god forbid parental/family figure and then the rest are like ‘you’re literally a perfect parent figure what the actual fuck sir—‘

Did you go to art uni? What were the most important things you learned?

i did yes :) i think the most important thing i learned is to experiment and to put at least a little bit of meaning behind every element of your art piece — that’s why i got so into animal motifs and flower language, i think they’re such a lovely way to present stuff! but honestly my course was very lenient, it was mostly about you doing you and tutors giving you advice where necessary!

anyway my favourite thing about dead men fanfiction is the wildly different characters we all write. like. not even the ones who have been dead for years and have so little actual characterisation but even the ones who were alive in canon were probably very different one hundred, two hundred, three hundred years ago. also theyre under characterised in fiction. also we are all just having fun

the outsider talks about how sokolov isn't interesting enough to catch his attention, no matter how desperate he is for it, which is so funny when you think about how corvo gets marked after having never asked for it, but then you learn that daud was marked and sokolov literally painted daud, and THEN you learn he had an apprentice for years who was marked, and at a certain point you almost feel sad for the guy

[pedi-bug]

ok, ok, I have this terukaneaoi au where akane dies and wakes up in the 80s and to which he then continues living life in the past (after many confusing realizations) and then meets the schools messiest relationship known to man in the process; teru and aoi, everyone knows how much arguments they get into yet they still look great together. akane somehow manages to get close to aoi (with the help of nene since akane kinda got attached to her since shes the only one to know about his situation). aoi is interested by akane and wants to know more about him while akane is like, literally in love.

while with teru, he finds out about this and like the great boyfriend he is, he of course, somehow (intentionally) meets akane and gets really angry at him. (he's just jealous; he really cares about aoi and is just afraid she will leave him), akane is confused, aoi stops teru from doing anything else and from then on, anytime aoi hangs out with akane (which is a lot of the time since aoi has no one else she actually likes to hang out with unless it's akane or nene) teru comes along.

akane and teru have a rocky view of each other but teru eventually becomes fond of akane (which takes a long while, in the meanwhile they have lots of petty arguments and relentlessly make fun of one and another, aoi has to force them to get along).
