So, on the criminal minds thought train, my first idea has been that for a similar setup as Rose Bushes: Y/N insert type of thing.

However, I think that I would want to shift the starting point, and introduce our new recruit as a professional in a field not covered by the team.

Thinking of the main set up, we have backgrounds in the areas of: law, diplomacy and languages, police and bomb squad, communications, technology, and seasoned vet of the BAU. Not to mention the doctor with the maths and engineering degrees

I think, and please provide opinion if interested, that Y/N needs to branch out with those fields: specifically, my idea is for Y/N to provide insight as a forensic pathologist with a murky background (because don’t we all love a murky background). And in turn, that would make Dr. Y/N such and so.

where i am now.

the world has begun to spin again, and for the first time in a long time, i feel that movement. i am freed by it. the world moves again, and i allow myself to move with it. without shame, and with mercy. the stars are beautiful tonight.

i am granted reprieve when i tell you my sense of certainty wavers. in truth, such uncertainty after never-ending worry is a blessing. i will allow myself the opportunity to breathe, to do something new again. what this account may become is not yet known: in the past, blogs have been dedicated to writing, and i think i would like for that to be the case again. dear friends, i ask upon my return for guidance and opinion.

let me write for you again, and this time, i shall write for myself as well.

-to this i swear, honour and protect

#please feel free to request anything #old or new #i will do my best to accommodate #wanting to write again #but need support #and inspiration #do I turn to you

I want to live by myself when I move out of my parent's place but I'm really afraid of money problems? I'm afraid that the only place I can afford will be in the ghetto and it'll all be torn apart and I'll only be allowed to eat one granola bar a week. I'm really stressing out about this. I don't know anything about after school life. I don't know anything about paying bills or how to buy an apartment and it's really scaring me. is there anything you know that can help me?

difference between insurances

Once you’ve looked over all those cool links, I have some general advice for you on how you can have some sort of support system going for you:

Reasons to move out of home

You may decide to leave home for many different reasons, including:

wishing to live independently

location difficulties – for example, the need to move closer to university

conflict with your parents

being asked to leave by your parents.

Issues to consider when moving out of home

It’s common to be a little unsure when you make a decision like leaving home. You may choose to move, but find that you face problems you didn’t anticipate, such as:

Unreadiness – you may find you are not quite ready to handle all the responsibilities.

Money worries – bills including rent, utilities like gas and electricity and the cost of groceries may catch you by surprise, especially if you are used to your parents providing for everything. Debt may become an issue.

Flatmate problems – issues such as paying bills on time, sharing housework equally, friends who never pay board, but stay anyway, and lifestyle incompatibilities (such as a non-drug-user flatting with a drug user) may result in hostilities and arguments.

Your parents may be worried

Think about how your parents may be feeling and talk with them if they are worried about you. Most parents want their children to be happy and independent, but they might be concerned about a lot of different things. For example:

They may worry that you are not ready.

They may be sad because they will miss you.

They may think you shouldn’t leave home until you are married or have bought a house.

They may be concerned about the people you have chosen to live with.

Reassure your parents that you will keep in touch and visit regularly. Try to leave on a positive note. Hopefully, they are happy about your plans and support your decision.

Tips for a successful move

Tips include:

Don’t make a rash decision – consider the situation carefully. Are you ready to live independently? Do you make enough money to support yourself? Are you moving out for the right reasons?

Draw up a realistic budget – don’t forget to include ‘hidden’ expenses such as the property’s security deposit or bond (usually four weeks’ rent), connection fees for utilities, and home and contents insurance.

Communicate – avoid misunderstandings, hostilities and arguments by talking openly and respectfully about your concerns with flatmates and parents. Make sure you’re open to their point of view too – getting along is a two-way street.

Keep in touch – talk to your parents about regular home visits: for example, having Sunday night dinner together every week.

Work out acceptable behaviour – if your parents don’t like your flatmate(s), find out why. It is usually the behaviour rather than the person that causes offence (for example, swearing or smoking). Out of respect for your parents, ask your flatmate(s) to be on their best behaviour when your parents visit and do the same for them.

Ask for help – if things are becoming difficult, don’t be too proud to ask your parents for help. They have a lot of life experience.

If your family home does not provide support

Not everyone who leaves home can return home or ask their parents for help in times of trouble. If you have been thrown out of home or left home to escape abuse or conflict, you may be too young or unprepared to cope.

If you are a fostered child, you will have to leave the state-care system when you turn 18, but you may not be ready to make the sudden transition to independence.

If you need support, help is available from a range of community and government organisations. Assistance includes emergency accommodation and food vouchers. If you can’t call your parents or foster parents, call one of the associations below for information, advice and assistance.

Where to get help

Lifeline Tel. 13 11 44

Home Ground Services Tel. [phone]

Relationships Australia Tel. [phone]

Centrelink Crisis or Special Help Tel. 13 28 50

Tenants Union of Victoria Tel. [phone]

Things to remember

Try to solve any problems before you leave home. Don’t leave because of a fight or other family difficulty if you can possibly avoid it.

Draw up a realistic budget that includes ‘hidden’ expenses, such as bond, connection fees for utilities, and home and contents insurance.

Remember that you can get help from a range of community and government organizations.

long time, no see. i need your help.

i need some emotional support, because novel writing is back on and i want opinions on storyline and ideas that will help me overcome my executive dysfunction. pls reblog and help an author out with your brilliance. below the cut is general point by point storyline of the first act.

- main character (grace) and best friend (luke) early one morning. he surprises her on her literal blind side, grace blind in her right eye. they vaguely discuss his love life and her possible near unemployment, but leave the conversation to go about their days with promise of a meeting up soon. grace goes to work, where she encounters valeria, her best friend's secret romance. val hands over a letter, asks grace to pass it on, a final goodbye. grace agrees. the two part ways after a mention of a mysterious cat.

- later that week, grace leaves early from work with a new uniform, to luke's family bakery. her siblings are there, and luke's family hosts hers for dinner. mentions of risky job opportunities are argued over as dinner comes to a close. in a moment of solitude, grace gifts the letter to her friend. she leaves for home, luke's parents offering to send her siblings off to school in the morning with their own kids.

- grace goes home, her own house a dingy apartment in the bad part of town. she knows better than to walk the streets so late at night, and hurries up the stairway at the sound of something in the alley behind her, locking the door. her catching of breath is interrupted by a voice from her parents' bedroom. grace's father appears, and the pair share a conversation, their first in weeks. grace's reluctance to take on a job luke had offered stemmed from her parents: both got sick during harvest season work. the sickness crops up every few years, most people die in weeks if not days of infection, drifting off into a sleep. her parents had somehow survived for over seven years. a part of grace wishes them dead already.

- the next morning, without sleep, grace leaves the house in her new uniform before the sunrise. she reasons that her boss will need assistance, that it's her last chance to prove herself and keep her job. just as she is about to cross into the better part of town, a man asks her for help. he gets too close for comfort, she pushes him away, unaware of his accomplice on her right, who grips her throat and covers her mouth with a rag.

- grace is awoken by a jolt, the truck catching on a pothole on the road. she is blindfolded, her hands tied at her front. she quickly pushes her blindfold to her temple. she is being transported somewhere. the truck is lit by the gaps in the wooden planks below. a dozen or more people are inside the back with her. no one speaks. the truck stops after a few hours, they are unloaded after dark and tied in a huddle. the drivers are camping for the night, in the fire glow grace does her best to memorise shadows. when the same man she had pushed away from her comes over for conversation, she spits at his feet. he swings and punches her in the side of the face, causing spots in her good eye and a swelling close of her right.

- the pattern repeats over the days. they drive at odd hours, only let out the truck for bathroom breaks and the drivers chances to rest. there are five or six of them, all men. grace can only assume its human trafficking, that she has somehow found herself getting sent somewhere worse than the harvest fields. she ponders if luke was right, that she ought to have quit her job at the palace months ago, but before her mind can spiral back to home the truck is stopped, and gunfire rings out.

- ducking low to best avoid the richoetting bullets, it stops just as soon as it started, and suddenly the back of the truck is opened to reveal soldiers like those at the palace back home. only they are dressed in the capital city's colours. the other victims are offloaded, two of whom injured, and grace is stopped by a young, handsome looking soldier (alexander). her ears still ringing, she nods to the muffles of his words, and agrees to following him. he leads her from the others to a motorbike, and jumping on the back he begins driving them through woodland, with a lake on their east side, grace finally realising that this stranger is heading for the capital in the hills, Oranin.

- what complaining she manages to do is ignored or dismissed. alexander is on a mission, and with his hand clasping her in a firm grip, he reminds her of luke. she doesn't know where they are, but alexander marches with confidence she's worried of: had she done something wrong? had she agreed to a crime and this was a rather luxurious building that led onto a jail cell? she tries to ask again, alexander simply stating he'll take her to where she belongs. he stops before a grand door, even grander than her entranceway doors of the palace back home. a herald announces alexander's name, ariste (nobleperson) of some far away county, and grace looks down at her dress, her new dress that made her look so elegant and ready for the job, a present from her bosses to look the part at the departure of the ariste from their hometown however many days ago it had been. as they enter a grand dining hall, the table seating elites her age, dressed to the nines, the room stops talking. from her chair, valeria rises, muttering a soft 'grace?', shortly followed by another voice. grace's name on her lips was something neither of them thought to hear again. catherine.

this is the first 7-10 chapters. so, what happens next? i have an overarching narrative that continues to the end of the story and over multiple books of a series, but what individual things should happen next? if you need more info ask, and thank you for feedback in advance.

harry potter if you'd like?

The question is what character? Marauders, golden trio? What would you suggest my dearest?

#cos I can see Sirius x reader sure #but also perhaps a George or Fred thing? #or James #I think I’m giving away my taste in men #like the idea of a war time idea #or maybe post war for a George fic? #tell me isa and I shall write

[gifted-burnout-archive]

Ok so if I just randomly released something for fandom, what fandom would you want it for? I have ideas I need out of my brain

#thinking the usual list applies #might include hp and mcu onto it as well if you’re pining for it #please assist me I need to write something #anything

[gifted-burnout-archive]

I got it I got it I got it

Let me preface by saying there are different types of love, and there’s a difference between

a. “Why don’t you get it Grace?! I can’t paint it any clearer for you- you are everything! All of it! You are in everything I see and feel and touch and taste and hear and do: everything is you to me… And that means every single sunrise you promised me is you as well, and the fact that I missed them means I’m owed something from the world. We, we are going to be the ones who stop this madness… We will bring the sunrise back, and damn anyone who stops us.”

b. “You’re not perfect! Of course you aren’t- just look at you… You think I like that you hid away for years, that you let go the moment you could?! I hate that about you!! I despise it with every part of me because I can’t understand why you would ever give up on something so great and big and important… But Grace, it doesn’t change the fact that I won’t stop loving you, and that I hate myself for it. But the fact of the matter is, is that you are enough for me. And that’s so fucking terrifying because had you asked me to come with you after Rosefields I would have: without question. I’d have given up the same way you did, I’d have hidden away in the middle of nowhere and forgone all my fucking morals because you’re enough! Because when I’m with you, watching the world burn side by side would be enough… And it will burn.

#te logging from my main because might as well promote my own writing

boop

me again. ahahah. just wanted to put it out there that while this account is no longer active, anyone who feels the need to see me on their timeline for whatever reason can follow @ramblingsofaburnout (very original, I know). I’ll be there, mainly to scream into the void, but I wanted to pop up this message because certain old mutuals keep putting narnia on my timeline and i do not want to reblog in case it was weird.

that is all.

#isa and emy this is about you #i will be rewatching the movies now and reliving my childhood dream of being lucy #i mean susan was a bad bitch #don’t get me wrong #and i fall somewhere in between a peter and lucy archetype #and edmund is the literal icon #but lucy is just immaculate. she can do no true wrong
