I don't know what paddington is doing on that list, but it made me think of the time someone drew a picture of the queen with paddington after she died, and we had scores of people losing their minds at the idea that paddington bear wasn't the same kind of communist as them

Flatly, Jeralt said, “Are you bragging about kidnapping nobility?”

“You kidnap ours!” Khalid protested. “That’s just the game, you know -”

“You know, kid, I was really wondering why Rhea allowed the prince of a nation currently almost constantly at war with one of our house’s countries to enroll and take leadership of that house,” Jeralt said. “And once I got to know you…I’m still wondering.”

“Because I’m fun! I’m fun, I’m hip, I bring the party -”

“I can’t decide if you’re smarter than you are stupid,” Yuri panned. Khalid gasped in mock-offense. “You’re awfully lucky that you’re attractive, dear.”

“Should I take offense to that one?”

Byleth continued to be comatose on the bed.

In which we realize that everything went off the rails a while ago.

As a reminder/FYI, I do not write stories with hopeless endings. If you need a spoiler on the ending to see if you can finish the story, let me know (via my ask inbox w/anon off or DM) and I'll answer.

Inpatient Mental Healthcare

This was a request from someone (actually 2 someones) who requested not to be named.

What is it like when you go to a hospital for a psych problem?

In the emergency department:

The first place most people go for a psych problem is the emergency department. The only thing they determine here is whether or not you are a threat to yourself (actively or via an inability to take care of or protect yourself) or someone else. The person that makes this determination is a psychiatrist. Depending on when you come in and how many other people also need the psychiatrist, it may take a long time for them to come see you.

Until that time, the goal of the emergency department is to keep you safe. This usually looks like either putting you in a specific room that has no cords or sharp objects, or putting you in a room with a "patient companion" or "sitter".

A patient companion is usually a nursing assistant. They are not trained to counsel you or provide any psych care. They are simply there to make sure you do not hurt yourself (and provide nursing-assistant-level care if you need it. This is help cleaning yourself, going to the bathroom, or dressing yourself). From this point on, you will not be alone, even in the bathroom. This is to keep you safe, even if it is at the expense of some privacy.

From this point on, the hospital is also responsible for keeping you and everyone around you safe. If you threaten another person in the hospital, such as staff or visitors, the police or hospital security will be called. You will also be offered medication to help you calm down. If you do not take it, but continue to threaten, you will likely be given the medication involuntarily.

Once you see a psychiatrist and they determine you need inpatient care, they will ask you to sign a "voluntary form" (called different things at different places). This basically says you are voluntarily admitting yourself to a psych facility until a psychiatrist says you are fit to leave. Understand this. You cannot decide to leave tomorrow once you sign the form. You will have to wait for a psychiatrist to clear you to leave.

If you don't sign the form, but you have said you have a plan to die or hurt someone else, or are deemed incapable of taking care of or protecting yourself from harm, they can write an emergency order to admit you for 72 hours to further evaluate you and see if you need additional inpatient care.

In a standard hospital:

Once an admission order is in place (voluntary or not) If you have medical needs (say, you made an attempt on your life already and need medical care for any injuries, or if you just have a serious medical problem on top of your psych problem) you will go to a standard hospital floor with a patient companion. You may also be admitted to a standard hospital floor if there are no beds available in psych.

In this location, you will see a psychiatrist at least daily to work out which meds are best for your condition, and to re-evaluate your mental health status.

The unfortunate part about this is that you do not get the benefit of group therapy or educational activities directed at psych patients. You also do not get the perspectives of other psych patients that you would in a psych facility. This is usually just to keep you safe until you can go to a psych facility.

In a psych facility:

If you are medically cleared and okay to go to a psych facility, you will be transported there by ambulance (if it's in a different building). Yes, even if the building is across the street. You will be given a room or a bed (depending on how the facility is set up). You will be read the rules of the floor. Your belongings (including phones and wallets) will be locked so they cannot be stolen or used to hurt someone. You may have access to things like clothing or shampoo if you brought it, while other facilities may insist that you wear their clothing and use their toiletries.

A psych floor is usually set up as a relatively free space like a day room, a hall of rooms or dorms, then a couple meeting rooms for counseling, and classrooms. Furniture in psych facilities is either too heavy to pick up or else bolted to the floor. Doors that lead off the floor are locked in both directions.

Days are structured differently at different facilities. Usually this is something like breakfast at a set time, then time to clean yourself up for the day, then group therapy, then a break, then an educational session, then lunch, then free time, then a meeting with your psychiatrist, then a meeting with a counselor, then dinner, then free time. Generally, unit phones and TVs are turned off during activities like group time or educational sessions to encourage people to attend.

I admire your commitment to writing tim drake as having spent his formative childhood years on a different awful forum in every universe. it fills a conspicuous void in the fandom ecosystem.

I want to put this ask on my wall. Thank you for understanding me. Thank you so much.

Look, I think there are reasons why characters act the way they do. So often when writing Batfam people put in 0 work into actually establishing why or how a character is Like That, which feels necessary when the character is the most Like That of all time. You end up with a father-son or brotherly soulmates situations and it's bizarre. Why are you adopting this child you saved, you save fifty children a day and there is nothing special about him.

Tim Drake is a fucking freak and there needs to be a reason for that. Child neglect isn't enough. Somebody like Tim needs a very specific thing to happen in their lives to get them to the point of making his decisions. He needs to be obsessive, to spend time in a place that feeds and validates his obsessions, to be in a place where he can easily collect a great deal of data to construct a pathway model, and for all of this to happen without leaving his room. It has to be the internet. Tim is a guy who the internet churns out. I know he's from the 80s but Tim as a person is somebody who is so chronically online in the weirdest way. Not chronically online how WE'RE chronically online. He's on the weird forums. Like those military simulator game forums where military personnel post classified blueprints for future military tanks in order to win an argument. Those kinds.

If you were a domestic terrorist in the early 00s you were probably on Something Awful. All I can say (Actually, technically the SA thing is an anachronism - it didn't actually pick up until the early 00s. But it was the website that worked the best, explained the most, and I fucking needed to make the 'But he wouldn't tell her what the awful thing was' joke, so here we are). This is also the reason for the other anachronism of NW. Homestuck.

#everybody stop being boring. everybody stop being boring RIGHT NOW #tim drinks too much coffee tim's a nerd tim's weird NO #tim has drawn a complete map of the gotham sewer system because he hyperfixated on gotham-specific breeds of rat for two months #this is the only actually accurate map of the gotham sewer system to exist and he used it for smuggling motherboards #before he turned it over to bruce for batman purposes #his complete taxonomic knowledge of the gotham native rat population comes in handy 2 years later while fighting killer croc #successfully convincing steph that he knows everything and frightening dick greatly #my asks #admittedly the other reason for this is that Tim is based a bit off my sibling

Apparently Khalid was not allowed to put a hit out on Count Rowe.

Somehow , Yuri found out that he had tried. Khalid was personally pissed off that his Guy also worked for Yuri, but apparently every assassin in a fifty mile radius worked for Yuri and it would have been difficult to find an assassin who didn’t work for Yuri. Khalid still would have liked to be told. The wonderful experience of having Yuri show up at his nap station in the Abyss library yelling about how Khalid was not allowed to murder his adoptive father could have been avoided.

“Sorry, sorry,” Khalid whined. “I thought you didn’t like the guy. I’ll double check next time I try and you-know-what one of your relatives.” 

“Of course I fucking hate the man!” Yuri cried. He was absolutely yelling at the top of his lungs about murder, but this was Abyss and nobody cared. “Of course I want him dead! But you can’t - you just cannot - agh!”

“Why can’t I?” Khalid asked, baffled. “I won’t get caught.” 

Being a teenage boy sucks. You fall in love with three different people in one chapter. How does he find the time.
