SFW

-he’s literally the perfect man

-because he’s a doctor it’s not easy to gross him out. bled through during your period? he’s getting you a change of clothes and starting a bubble bath. threw up due to the flu/morning sickness? he’ll hold back your hair and whisper comforting words, saying you’ll be okay and it’ll be over soon

-you are his everything, he shows you off to his friends and is so happy they like you/you like them!!

-he will do pretty much anything to see your smile or make you laugh

-he absolutely ADORES you. calls you his princess, lovebug, sweet thing, sunshine

-absolute cuddlebug!! he loves cuddling with you on the couch, his palm resting on the small of your back while he gives you forehead kisses 🥰

-will take you out clubbing and make sure no one bothers you!! he’s so tall and muscular that no one approaches you while he’s standing guard over you

-before you start dating, he pines for you HARD. everyone can tell he’s in love with you but you, and it takes him months to finally ask you out

-very romantic, likes taking you out to dinners, walks on the beach, but also enjoys eating fast food together in your car while having idle chitchat. honestly any activity he does with you feels romantic to him, he’s in LOVE LOVE

-he is the best person to take care of you when you’re sick. not only is he a doctor, but he’s super empathetic and caring person that knows your needs almost better than you do

-he’s got such big hands, and they’re always touching you, whether that be holding your hand, your hip, or caressing your cheek!!

-in the morning, he usually wakes up before you and just stares at your face, caressing your cheek and pushing your hair out of your face. if you could see the tender, loving look in his eye you’d fall even more in love

-he would be such a good dad. I think he would be ready for kids in his mid twenties, so he’ll have graduated med school before he has kids.

-before he has kids though, Gon and Killua are your honorary children.

-when you do get pregnant, he’s extremely attentive, taking great care of you and your needs. he’s a doctor so if anything happens he’ll be able to help!

-buys you flowers and chocolates almost every week. he just can’t pass them off when he goes grocery shopping after a long and hard shift at the hospital.

-he likes to hold your hand when you walk together. he may be a bit shy with PDA, but he’ll show his love for you by gently rubbing his thumb against the back of your hand, his eyes full of adoration when he looks down at you

-jealous!! does not like when men’s eyes linger on your figure, or their hands get dangerously close to touching you. he’s the best guard dog, easily defending you from anyone that would try to hurt you!

-likes when you let him lay his head in your lap after a long day, rubbing your fingers through his hair and telling him what a good job he did. he’s got a lot on his shoulders, and it’s nice to be able to relax with you

-enjoys doing small intimate things for you, like washing your hair, shaving your legs, and applying lotion to your skin. anything to make him feel closer to you!

-loves the smell of your shampoo, and will always pull you a little closer when the two of you cuddle after your shower

-he’s a decent cook, and enjoys cooking with you! feels so loved when you ask him if he can taste test something for you, hearts forming in his eyes when you gently blow on the food before offering it to him

NSFW

-he’s a service dom when he dominates. he lives to please you and make you feel good! as a sub, he will let you do anything to him…

-Leorio is inexperienced and can be easily overstimulated with kisses alone. you can sit in his lap, tongue in his mouth and he’ll cum in his pants before you even touch him

-he’s putty in your hands. pull him down by his tie and he may just whimper. pin him against the wall, pull him closer by his hips and he’ll look down at you with half lidded eyes, a blush covering his face

-you’ll have to put up with him cumming really quick the first few times. he’s very shy and gets overly excited, but he can keep going! just be a little patient!

-his hands shake a little when he fingers you for the first time. he’s a little nervous, he’s scared he’ll hurt you! his fingers are big and can stretch you out plenty!

-7.5ish inches, girthy… he tries his best to be gentle and take his time with you, but he does end up moving too quick and cumming inside within the first 5 mins 😭🙏 he can go again though, and will fuck you until you’re satisfied!!

-appreciates a nice set of lingerie. send him all the pictures of you in your new panties and he’ll send back “AWOOGA” and a cumshot video 🙏

-mutual masturbation… loves to watch you play with your pussy while he jerks off. it also helps him learn exactly what makes you feel good so he can try it next time!!

-you ironically ask him for a video of him whimpering while he jerks off and he send it back within the next 5 minutes… it’s hot, and his hands tremble a little while he pumps his fat cock and moans your name

-if he needs to get off while you’re gone, he’ll call you and have you tell him about your day while he gets off to the sound of your voice

-he buys you any sex toys you want, as long as he gets to watch you use them!! he has his own toys but is a little more shy, you’ll have to convince him and get him very comfortable for him to let you watch him

-he loves your body, and will whisper words of worship and adoration when he touches you. he’s surprisingly sweet and loving, making every touch pleasurable

-he needs to be kissed and told that he’s making you feel good! he’s a little insecure and nervous the first few times you have sex, and needs reassurance!

-can be very subby… call him your sweet boy, your sweetheart, darling. cup his cheeks while you settle onto his cock and tell him just how nice he feels inside you and he’ll blush, wanting to hide his flustered face in your shoulder. hell whine and whimper, gasping when you clench around him and begging you to move faster ><

-his hands are almost always on your hips during sex. holding you in place, gently squishing and squeezing at your soft flesh. his thumbs will brush over your tummy as he kisses you, and you can feel the pressure of his fingers digging into your skin. it’s a reminder that he has you, and doesn’t want to let you go

-he would let you peg him if you wanted to. he won’t ask, but if you bring it up he’s like “yeah sure!”

-p-period sex with Leorio…

-he uses the doctor card saying something like “did you know that sex can help with cramps?” and gives you a hopeful look, playing with the waistband of your panties. he’s so tender, rubbing your back soothingly and making sure he’s gentle. he really does want to help you feel better, so the sex is very soft and sensual. he’ll never be rough with you when you’re on your period, not like he is when you’re off of it, but he’s especially gentle when you are

-literally so sweet and loving when you do get pregnant. he’ll let you cockwarm him, holding a hand over your baby bump while the two of you think of baby names. you’ve been a little hormonal lately and just wanna feel nice and full, so he’s happy to oblige

-blow jobs… he fucking LOVES when you suck his cock. look at him with those pretty eyes of yours, fondle his balls and he’ll cum almost instantly. honestly he’s really sensitive so just swirling your tongue around his tip is enough to get him off

-loves dry humping. he has you sit on his lap, guiding your hips so your clothed pussy rubs against the bulge in his pants. poor guy ends up cumming in his pants A LOT when he’s around you 😭🙏

-moans and whimpers while he eats you out. you can tell he’s enjoying himself, maybe even more than you are. he’s got his big fingers inside of you, moaning into your clit as he sloppily slurps and licks your pussy 💞💞

-he’s almost in shock when he has you moaning and squirming underneath him, begging for more. he’ll swallow thickly, pushing his cock in and kissing your forehead. “anything for you, princess.”

So I have a prospero death theory

From what we see here the hands are medically “tearing” him to pieces this leads into my theory

The red death was inspired by tuberculosis wich caused “death like” spells so many people were buried alive so what if he donated his body to science

(Of course family often makes the decisions after death but my thinking is that it would have been a decision he made before death)

However if he had tuberculosis and went into a spell where everyone would believe him to be dead and his body was donated then maybe we woke up during a operation it’s very common practice even today for medical students to practice dissection on body’s donated to science

It’s even possible that he had some form of chronic illness that was unknown at the time and because of that he went through numerous procedures and treatments that were really painful

MINOR FAST PAST SPOILERS 88-91

While there’s nothing confirmed yet the reason I believe he would donate his body to science is because he was a doctor himself we see in these episodes he has medical knowledge to help will with his throat and immediately react to helping montysor (idk how to spell his name) yes he has the concern of losing teammates but doctors are also under a oath to protect and do no harm (with includes watching a man bleed out on the floor)

This is why this is his fear this is how he died or alternatively he was a medical student and this happened during a practice dissection and it became a deeply rooted fear of his

(Also look at the hands doing the operation they aren’t wearing gloves wich where invented in 1899 so we now have a time zone for when he was alive)

I personally believe that growing up he had a chronic illness that he had numerous medical procedures and treatments that were painful and didn’t work so he grew up to be a doctor to figure out what is going on with him and to make the medical industry better he arranged that when he died to donate his remains to science only to be Fausly pronounced dead and then died on the operating table of some med schools biology lab

(Medical isn’t already the best especially extremely before back then and medical today still often ignores aromatic and asexual has actual orientations and often try to medicalize it as a “problem” or list it as a symptom wich can really screw with the health of the patient so it’s very possible he also could have died from a very preventable illness of the time but died because of the ignorance of the time that sadly is still around today )

Complete side note I believe he was a genuinely good person when alive we see he tries hard to be a good person we still don’t know if he was in on the “wall up Duke plan” but I don’t think he was

This is one of the fundraisers I saw getting shared earlier, I donated so I got an email when they updated this afternoon. Dr Moath is the same age as me, he would have been at his med school at the same time I was at mine. They have enough money raised to evacuate 1 person of the family but not everyone yet, which must be heartbreaking. Please share or donate if you are able.

so i know you mentioned the bros and usagi and co were going to continue protecting new york and the hidden city and stuff, but i can’t imagine a job like that paying much unless they were working for the police or something. so, if you plan on them having jobs other than that, what are they?

side note: i hc leo and mikey work for hueso for at least a little while, bc we know from that one hidden city ep they would make good(ish) servers

I just answered this a bit. As teenagers Usagi, Gen, and Kitsune work for Hueso. He called Leo in when he needs extra help and Mikey on days when his staff won’t come (mob days) Leo used to come whenever he needed a break from his family or a distraction from his thoughts. Now with his boyfriend and friends working there he basically has a part time job with how much he’s there helping out and hanging out with them.

As adults their jobs differ. Yes saving the city doesn’t pay the bills.

Donnie

a software engineer. He has two companies. One that sells hacking equipment and programs and one that sells security. There always seems to be an update in his hacking software right after there is an update in his security programs. There is just enough space for the people doing truly illegal stuff to get caught but never for the people pirating movies to get caught. Does he monitor his hacking programs to see what people are doing and strategically update the security programs just in time to catch career criminals and billionaire doing illegal things, he’s yes he does. - but most of his time is spent building other tech for his family or third business.

Mikey

a chef. I know I said he would study psychology if he could a while ago but his passion is food. He owns the most popular restaurant in the hidden city. The only thing he doesn’t serve is pizza as he doesn’t want to compete with Hueso.

Raph and Kitsune

They runs a non-profit helping people escape from abusive situations. Raph focuses on helping children while Kitsune helps women. They also have resources for men needing help as they know that men can get abused to and they want to help them as well. All of their siblings are the biggest doners to their project.

Leo

He goes into medicine. I think that splinter made all the boys get their education online so Leo was able to go to college/med school in the hidden city. I think he’d specialize in trauma surgery as it’s the closest to battle field medic. (I still haven’t decided his full path)

He does keep a list of doctors and nurses who are kind and treat patients with respect and dignity. He passes the list along to Raph so that he knows which doctors to request when the people he helps need medical care.

April

She becomes a journalist and is a big part of desegregating the hidden city and New York. Her goal is for her family to one day walk above ground without any fear.

Cassie

Brownie empire. She has a choke hold on the industry. She is playing the long game. Anytime April needs sources or Raph needs donations there is a brownie box showing up at the targets house buttering them up for her family to slip in and do what they need to. She still has her long goal, World Domination. As soon as her family is on board they are running this world. Unfortunately her family is not on board. (I will let you guess which members aren’t down with world domination)

Usagi and Gen

Body guard business. Usagi hates how much crime there is in the hidden city so he starts helping people. He gets a reputation of not being scared of any of the crime bosses. One thing leads to another and boom business. They only take jobs from people doing legal activity. Big Mama is not a fan but also wildly impressed. She’s tried to get them under her employment for years.

They get big enough to have other employees and there is always a shift going at Raph and Kitsune’s non-profit. It is the safest in the city as no one gets through their body guards.

They also teach self defense class and will do free ones at the non-profit. The whole family will join in on those.

Casey

Author. I’ve said it before but I’ll say it again, this boy has the most popular young adult novels out there. He is just writing down that happened in his timeline and people are losing their minds. He did it to keep his memory of them alive. Now he gets fan art of him and Master Leonardo when he was growing up in the mail. He also get letters asking how he could kill cheaters off when they were so beloved by fans. (Raph and Donnie’s deaths caused an uproar. His moms was expected as “all parents are dead in these kinds of stories”) When yokai and humans are finally intermixing a picture of Casey and his family comes out and everyone can tell that the characters in his book are based off of the turtles in his life. They all get some weird mail from that.

Truly this is my first time posting on Tumblr, but here goes. Recently, I watched Doogie Kamealoha MD on Disney and I really liked it, but was bummed we won’t be getting anymore. So I wrote a few bullet points of what I think a third season could include. Please feel free to comment your own points or what you think should happen!

Overview:

- starts one to two years after the last season left off

- Lahela is finishing off her first stint of working the portable clinic. We maybe follow that for two episodes before she heads back to the hospital to move into the next phase of her career.

- Her family is still getting used to having a new baby at home. the pressures of having a kid you need to look after more closely. The baby is showing early signs of fast development and they wonder if they will grow up to be a genius like Lahela. She deals with jealousy but ultimately embraces the baby and looks forward to helping them as they grow up to know they are not alone.

- Kai has moved for a co-op farming program in Idaho to grow some potatos or some shit in his third year of post secondary school which puts strain on his and Steph’s relationship. They end up breaking up but on good terms.

- Steph, after taking a gap year, is struggling to figure out what she wants to do with her life.

- Early to mid season Steph starts dating a girl

- BP is in highschool, there’s definitely an episode that focuses just on his side hustles as the B plot.

- It comes to attention that BP has been leaving mean comments on a famous queer creators content online. His parents try to deal with it but are unsuccessful. Ultimately he confides in Steph that he might like boys as well as girls and she comforts him. In the end he comes out to his family and they are very accepting. He apologizes to the creator online.

- Its a very transition heavy time, with a big focus on that thematically.

- Lahela goes back to the hospital, which thanks to a big anonymous sponsor, has been donated the resources to create a small wing for free of charge care which she will helm.

- It’s a big leadership opportunity that she has to get used to and at first she struggles, especially after working alone in the portable medical office for so long. But after a visit from Noelani and Charles her confidence is re-instilled.

- She helps lots of people and solves some cool cases of course. She also deals with a very serious death which will definitely probably be a turning point in the series or a major focus at some point as she learns to deal with that trauma as a doctor.

- It comes to light that the anonymous donor is actually Walter!?!?!?!!! He’s made it big as a surfer and wanted to help give back to the community of Hawaii, but also to Lahela.

- He comes to visit the hospital and see how it’s going (mid season?) but the dynamic between them has shifted. He is now her boss in a sense and owns that wing. Also with time they have just changed. They kiss but ultimately decide it doesn’t feel right for either of them and they should just be friends and co-workers

- Nico’s Aunt ends up coming into the free clinic because she burned herself while cooking. Lahela asks how Nico is doing and her aunt says he’s good and that she’ll be seeing him soon. When Lahela asks what she means, Nico replies from the doorway that his aunt ruined the surprise. After spending the last two years soul searching, travelling, working, and finishing his highschool diploma he’s now in his first year of university for his pre-med degree. He got in on a full scholarship, for which he credits his entrance essay that he “had a lot of material to draw on”. He’ll be volunteering in the hospital to get more experience

- Nico really likes being able to take care of other people for once and feels really good about that. Plus he’s really good with the patients. When a little girl with cancer comes in, at first he stumbles and can’t face her. But in the end he comes to realizes that his connection to her and to cancer can really help her. He spends time with her and helps her to feel more normal as a kid with cancer because he went through the same experience. It’s a very emotional journey for him.

- He and Lahela dance around what they had before, never really mentioning it, but the tension is there. Lots of lingering looks and touches. She falls for him again as she sees the way he interacts with patients and his passion for medicine.

- Finally, (late season) they talk about what happened. Nico says that he needed time to figure himself out, and after processing it all. Even though he was mad at cancer and hospitals and even the cancer treatment for robbing him of so much, after the anger faded he came to realize how grateful he was for the doctors and for the treatment that was able to let him continue living and that he wanted to give back.

- Lahela admires his outlook, and she jokes about being able to experiment more with girls now that he was finally free. Nico says that he didn’t, because he couldn’t get her out of his head. Lahela kisses him, and admits that she felt the same way, she just needed some time to grow up a little on her own too and find out who she was outside of a romantic relationship.

- On their days off they definitely still travel around in the portable doctor office van with the lady from the highschool reunion to provide to unhoused people.

DON'T BLAME ME || 1 || Jay Halstead / Thea Rhodes

Synopsis: Theodosia Rhodes, the youngest daughter of a big-time Chicago CEO, needs a husband of her own choice before her father makes that decision for her. Jason Halstead, newly-made Intelligence detective, needs a wife to inherit his portion of his mother's inheritance.

Warnings: Mentions of arson, kidnapping, murder, rape; allusion to childhood trauma, suicide, cancer-related death; descriptions of vehicular accidents including, but not limited to, car-on-car collision, car-on-truck, train; outright familial/parental pressure; portrayal of misogyny and misandry. Read ahead at your own risk.

THEODOSIA

My phone buzzed against the bar shelf, as I slid two Long Island ice teas. The constant vibrantions from my pocket annoyed me, so lately I kept a box under the bar for employees to leave their phones if they wanted.

"Should probably answer that," Matt chided from my right. Despite the crowd in Molly's, he could still hear my phone on vibrate. Granted, we were trained to hear the littlest things.

Kelly laughed beside him. "I can guarantee it's the old man or the sister."

"More likely my sister," I snorted, pulling out another bear for them. "Less talk about my familial pressure for marriage and more drinking, boys."

"You don't need our money, you're richer than the entire department," Kelly frowns.

"I do need to pay my employees though, and I'd rather use the money made from this place than my allowance." Considering I own Molly's and not Cornelius. "I might own a department store but Molly's isn't in cahoots with Dolan Rhodes, and I'd rather keep it that way."

Kelly raised his beer in agreement, before I set off to serve other customers. I tend to the usual, everyday regulars that I only ever see in the bar and not at my full-time job, then head over to the officers and detectives sitting at the very end of my bar.

"Good evening, Lieutenant," Antonio nodded once politely, earning a light smack from me. "You might work with my sister, but I'm not getting kicked out for pissing off the bartender."

I snickered, "you have a lot more than getting kicked out to worry about, Antonio. I know all your dirty little secrets. Everyone bullshits to the bartender."

"Just the usual, Rhodes," Atwater laughed between him and Ruzek. I grabbed the men their usual drinks, moving on to cleaning the glasses in the sink.

Ruzek, amidst his friends' conversation, looked at me over his bottle. "My sister's finished med school, and I know your old man donates to Chicago Med."

"And you want me to put in a good word for her?" I nodded over his head. "Which one is she?"

"She doesn't drink, knowing the risks as a doctor and all."

I smiled. "Like her already. I'll put in a good word, as long as you bring her next time. We got a stock of non-alcoholics out back for when we have shift the next day."

Ruzek thanked me and returned to conversation with his co-workers. I heard my name called, following the voice to Gabby Dawson, one of the best paramedics I know and a damn good barkeep.

"You've met Severide's sister," Gabby waved a hand at Brooklyn Severide.

"How could I not when I babysit her niece?"

Brooklyn raised her glass to me, "my niece's mother, you mean."

"You got a kid?" One detective Jay Halstead asked me.

That particular detective that seduced one of my greatest friends, a non-blood sister, and lied to her for the sake of undercover work. He then proceed to let Molly's get set on fire, the one bar owned and worked by firefighters, and broke up with her in the end. I still wanted to kick his ass for that.

Mostly for Gabby, but also for Molly's. My poor baby.

I raised my head a little. "Best friend's kid, lost her mom. I try to be the mother she deserves." To say I'm still a little apprehensive of the detective would be an understatement.

"And you are," Brooklyn held my arm in her hand, before going back to her drink. "Best damn woman in the world, this one."

I see what's happening.

"Fire lieutenant, great with kids, animals and the elderly. Great with cops too. Did I mention she scaled a two story house to get a cat out of a tree because the truck ladder was stuck?" Brooklyn, a little tipsy already, latched onto Halstead's wrist.

He laughed. For such a dick, the laugh was cute. Really brought out a young side to him. Too bad he's a liar. "About a million times, Brooke. You tried to scout her off to Atwater this morning."

"You did?" I deadpanned. In the near decade I'd known her, Brooklyn had been trying to set me up with men—and women when I came out to her—left and right. I was too good for her brother, apparently. I doubted she realised her brother was also like a brother to me.

It just so happened that his daughter looks more like me with her gorgeous brown hair and brown eyes, and likes to call me Mommy whenever her dad brings her over.

"He's a handsome man, Rho, and he'd take good care of you." Brooklyn excused, turning back to Halstead. "Did I mention benefits? Also she's rich, so that's its own benefit."

She's trying to set me up with this dickwad.

"I'm not that urgent for a wife," Halstead shook his head at Brooklyn, keeping his arm out under his partner's hand.

Kelly called across the room to me, "Mom, baby's calling for you!" That got me there in two seconds. Elizabeth Severide was the cutest little girl in existence, and she would be gorgeous as she got older. The Italian in her would bring that out in her.

She was in every way her dad's daughter, from the smile down to the attitude. The Severide siblings were already a lot to deal with, and to pile on a mini-version of Kelly? I couldn't say no to Elli's little face though.

Elizabeth lost her mother when she was born, and the moment Kelly met his baby girl, I had been with him and encouraged him to at least see her before deciding to let her maternal grandparents take her. He'd asked me an important name to me, in which I said his name or Matt's. They were the closest to brothers I had since Connor went overseas.

When it came down to girls names, it had to be my mother's. I lost her when I was ten, to depression, but she was still my mother, down to the looks and personality. So he'd named her Elizabeth Leslie, after my mother and his best friend, Shay.

Shay was ecstatic her best friend's kid was named after her, and it happened that her middle name was Elizabeth. More often times than not, she'd call Elli by her middle name because she liked it so much.

"Hi, Mommy!" Elli waved at me over FaceTime through Kelly's phone. She was at the Herrmanns', while I worked and Kelly hung out until it was time for him to head home. "What are you doing?"

"I'm working, Reginetta." I smiled, taking the phone from her dad. She loved the little nickname I called her, since I'd promised her mother's parents I'd teach her Italian. Being privately tutored in a language of my choice helped them agree to let Kelly keep her. "Are you in bed?"

"Cindy said I can stay up until Daddy comes pick up!"

She was the cutest little 4-year-old ever.

"Well Daddy will be home with Christopher soon. Christopher is almost finished working." I took the beer from his hands.

Elli took her eyes off me for a second, looking over the phone. "Lee Henry said you have to marry soon. Do I get a new daddy?"

"No, your daddy will still be your daddy. I can't replace him."

"But Cindy said you're not marrying Daddy."

I nodded. "That's right. I'm marrying a different man, because my daddy tells me to."

"Do you not love Daddy anymore?"

Oh sweet baby. "I love your Daddy as much as I love you, Reginetta. But your Daddy isn't the man for me. He'll marry a good woman who will love you just as much as we do."

"But I don't want another Mommy, or another Daddy!" She cried, tears falling over her chubby cheeks. "Only you and Daddy!"

"It's okay, baby, you won't see my husband unless your Daddy is okay with it, and only if you want to. He'll just be Mommy's husband."

She nodded, little sniffles leaving her nose as Cindy helped her wipe her tears. "Principessa, your Daddy and I will never introduce you to a man or a woman if you don't want to meet them. Besides, you'll probably be much older when we ask about it."

"Daddy said I'll see you o-morrow at the Big House."

My house looked like a downsized version of the firehouse, so she called my house "Mommy's House" and 51 the "Big House". It worked just as well with her calling Chief Boden the "Big Man".

"That's great! Now you get ready for Daddy to come get you, and I'll see you tomorrow, little one." I hung up and gave Kelly a look to find Herrmann. He did just that, taking his phone and leaving a kiss to the side of my head beforehand.

Closing up was as easy as cleaning a pig's back. And that was an understatement, given that I know how to clean a pig while they're running around.

With everything locked up in the bar, and the front door locked, I headed out the back where I expected Brooklyn to be. We were planning to finish off Europe trip plans before we passed out, but her car was nowhere to be seen.

"Antonio said she was too drunk to stay any longer, so he took her home." Halstead's voice carried over the small parking lot reserved for Molly's employees and family. He wasn't family; not to the bar owner. "I called Severide, he said I could park here. His sister's best friend and all. You wouldn't mind, according to him."

Brooklyn was too drunk my ass. I served her all her drinks, and when I wasn't, Gabby was. I knew how much she had.

Little shit trying to set me up.

"I'm sure you know just as well as me, but I'm fully aware she's trying to set us up, and I know you're hating it just as much as you hate me."

"I don't hate you." Now you're a freaking liar, Theodosia. "Just, despise you more than the average person."

He laughed, genuinely, while he moved around his truck to open the passenger door for me. "I think there's people that would argue with that. Unlike you, I was a screwed up kid."

"And how would you know what I was like?" I asked, and he shut the door before I even got an answer. Sitting in his car in silence was peaceful, and somehow comforting. An old smell that was awfully familiar ran over my skin.

Halstead shut the driver's door after he sat down. "One, you're the most popular woman in Chicago. Two, you did everything your dad told you to, even if it was clear you didn't enjoy it. Like modelling."

That was the bane of my long existence. I hated it, and thanked whoever had been listening to my prayers that I'd found firefighting and loved it. It was the first decision I made about my career life, and the first decision I made the moment I turned 18.

Connor had wanted to leave America, start his adult life in another country while he studied medicine, but I dug my roots into the ground of the Chicago Fire Department and fought my way through the academy on my own. I made sure the brass didn't accept any money from my old man so I knew I could accomplish something in my own right.

And it wouldn't bite me in the ass later on either. I'd found myself a real family, one where Boden was a better father than my actual one.

"Brooke always talks so highly of you," Halstead mentioned, his eyes on the road.

For as long as I've known Kelly, I've known Brooklyn. Sweet girl, only a year younger than me. I was almost directly in the middle of the Severides, with Kelly three years my senior. Kelly had been my guide right out of the academy, and when Boden wasn't mentoring me, Kelly was taking me over the basics of rescue firefighting. He'd been candidate for a few months before Matt had arrived, then he was bumped up to rescue squad about a month before I appeared.

Matt and Kelly, being a couple years older, wanted me to get close to Brooklyn, since we were closer in age and women. I was 22, and Brooklyn 21, when Kelly took us out drinking for her 21st. Unbeknownst to Brooklyn—or Kelly—one of the guys over at Firehouse 38 had preyed his eyes on the fresh 21-year-old in the bar.

I'd beaten the shit out of him, and Boden had to convince the patrol sergeant in charge not to charge me. That I was a dedicated firefighter that was just shy of 3 weeks from moving up to search squad, and that I didn't need a stained record when the lieutenants were already riding my ass.

I've had Brooklyn glued to my hip at bars since then. She was always great company, and much more of a pleasure to be around than Kelly when she was drunk. A giggly, playful sort.

She looked up to like the older sister she didn't have, and admired that I put my foot down to my father. Something she wishes she could do.

"Yeah, well, Benny and my father aren't all that different. One's just rich and the other one is god knows where." It was true, for the most part. I knew where Benny was, or where he should've been. And I knew he was coming up to Chicago to see his granddaughter.

Halstead agreed. "She said he's a better grandfather than a father."

"Most shit dads tend to be better with other people's kids. Benny's been great to me, but that's just to get on Kelly's good side. Be nice to your granddaughter's mother figure and you get your son happy."

He didn't say anything to that, but I didn't expect him to. As much as I knew about him, which wasn't much since he'd only been Brooklyn's partner for less than a month, but he didn't have all that good a relationship with his dad either. That's mostly why he and Brooklyn were so close as far as I was concerned.

"About that wife thing," Halstead glanced in his rearview mirror. "I need a wife to get my inheritance from my mother. It's been 10 years, and her will lawyer said if neither my brother nor I claim any of the money, it'll just go to my father. She wanted Will and I to have anything she did, since Dad didn't see her right to the end."

Well shit. Here I was being a bitch about him earlier and bitching to Otis about Brooklyn trying to set me up to marry him, and he needs a wife to keep money from his horrid father.

"She mentioned your dad's been on you to marry men twice your age and you're hating it."

"Hating is an understatement. I could pick any one of them out in a line up against my dad and I wouldn't be able to tell you the difference."

Halstead paused, looking at me before he continued. "She suggested I marry you purely to get your dad off your ass and my inheritance from my dad."

"How long do you have?"

"A week. My mom died 10 years ago on Friday."

A husband—a detective husband at that—would get my father to back off. He could get the inheritance he's keeping from his father, and I'd get to live my life in peace from an unwanted marriage.

"Okay, you have a deal."

I've been managing my expectations but I have to say I'm really excited for 6B. Most of the characters are facing serious tension. Subtext and themes have been consistent (couches and chairs, donor vs. dad). And now, because of Eddie's loud-and-clear evasion of the donor topic, we know that things between him and Buck have to come to a head. It's looking good! The fandom negativity is wildly out of proportion IMO.

I completely agree. The thing is, I am an impatient bitch and I definitely get frustrated when I feel like things aren't moving fast enough or going exactly how I want, but I also recognize that is a personal problem about me and doesn't necessarily translate to a valid criticism of the show. I do have some minor gripes with some of the pacing choices this season (mainly re: the sperm donor arc), but even with that I can understand why they might have done certain things the way they have.

With that arc in particular, it's a process that in itself takes time--weeks to do all the screenings and whatnot to get to the point of donation, weeks to do fertilization and implantation, still more weeks to find out if the process has taken and there's a viable pregnancy in process, so that's months of time right there without even getting to the actual 9-months of pregnancy. So in that sense, the on-again-off-again nature of how the storyline is playing out isn't that strange, it's just that audiences have gotten used to (especially in the era of bingewatching), focusing on one arc at a time/expecting that as soon as something is introduced it will be consistently emphasized until resolved. Could they have written it differently and had Buck not go through with it for one reason or another and proceeded from there? Sure. But that would have been a totally different story (and not necessarily better, we have no way of saying that one way or another, but different)--they are explicitly using this arc as part of Buck's journey of self-discovery, and a major piece of that is the level of regret and pain he's going to experience because he jumped into doing this selfless thing without thinking about the consequences (even though he was warned), an impulsive character trait that ties back to his root trauma of Daniel (which he hasn't dealt with). They've basically said outright that's what they're doing, and also that part of the reason to do a self-discovery arc for Buck is that because he doesn't know himself/what he wants generally, he can't see who he wants to be in a relationship with which...hello???

And as you said, the themes have been consistent. The season opened very explicitly with the idea of not knowing what you want/not being able to see what you already have/not allowing yourself to want certain things because you don't think they're attainable (and/or because you're afraid to want them). It's all one big play on fantasy vs. reality and what that looks like for different people/in different situations. And we've watched those themes play out character-by-character.

Maddie and Chim got back together and have been rebuilding their life together, learning what it looks like to be a family again, and their 6A arc on that front closed with them finding their dream house.

Athena and Bobby have dealt with it on a lesser scale, with the Florida trip and investigation. The idea of putting people on pedestals, and therefore not being able to see them for who they are, not being able to recognize reality. And we're going to get into it more with Bobby it seems like due to this whole situation with his sponsor.

Hen was struggling with med school vs. being a firefighter and paramedic. She thought she wanted to be a doctor in part because she didn't think it was possible to progress further in her career with the LAFD until she was actually given the chance to be interim captain. And when she was put in a position where she finally had to choose, she chose the LAFD because she could have it all and because her family was her real dream. Now, she's heading into a related arc with Denny that ties directly into Buck's (and Eddie's). Denny's the one now looking outside of what he already has, thinking he needs something more (a dad) while Buck is going to be struggling with being overly invested in the sperm donor situation because he didn't get it through his head that being a donor does NOT make him a dad and Eddie/Christopher/the will of it all is very loud.

I don't need to repeat all of the ways Buck's arc fits this theme, but he is the most explicit about actively not being able to see what's right in front of him/what he already has (that he has a partner in Eddie, that he's a father to Christopher, that they're a family, etc etc etc).

Eddie's arc is still in-progress. But his arc has also focused on these ideas of not talking about or acknowledging certain things (including things you want) because they're scary and/or because you think they're unattainable (especially if they're supposedly unattainable because of "difference" in some capacity--for Hen at the LAFD it was her race/gender/sexuality, for Christopher it was his disability, for Eddie...I mean come on, there's one answer here...). We've seen him do the things that he thinks are "expected" of him, try to fit the fantasy mold of a heteronormative nuclear family, and fail fantastically (fantasy not living up to reality). And we've seen him on his own journey of self-discovery, becoming his own person separate from Christopher, while the question of what following his heart really means remains open (and is going to be a focus of 6B as they return explicitly to him and Romance).

Idk, I've been enjoying this season a lot and I'm excited about 6B and I've been surprised by the amount of negativity as well. In S5, it felt like everyone was complaining that it was too dark, and when this season started people were happy that it was a return to more lightness. But now, that seems to have shifted as well and I see that being turned into a criticism that the writers aren't taking certain things seriously enough or giving them the weight they're due. I don't feel like the pacing is any worse than other seasons, I don't think the arcs are any more frustrating (like...I cannot emphasize enough how much I hate the lawsuit arc and street fighting arc and Maddie's stalker era, I really can't, and as important as the tsunami arc is overall for the show I felt like it was largely disconnected from the specific arcs of the season for most characters, but I don't claim that S3 is badly written just because I personally dislike certain dramatic choices that were made), and I don't think the introduction of new arcs or set-ups for continuations of established arcs in this episode was any different from any other midseason finale.

As with any kind of longform storytelling though, everything looks different in hindsight once you get the whole picture. I've made my peace with the fact that the writers have a plan that I can't see all of yet, but I trust them to create something that will answer the questions we have and deal with the things that we have complaints about if we just give them time/watch the rest of the season. We have 9 more episodes, there's a lot of exciting potential, and frankly, when I look back over the full seasons after seeing how all the arcs have played out, the writers have never truly let me down. I don't expect that to be any different this season. We just need to be patient and let them tell the story.

...this got really long, but anyway...tldr; they've been very consistent with subtext (and text) and themes and I don't think there's any real reason not to expect that to continue and I'm looking forward to 6B!

I have had A DAY and it is only 1:30 PM.

H had a huge tantrum about going to school this morning. She wanted to be alone. Which. That’s impossible in the car when I’m driving her. I promised to be really quiet so she could basically be left along but it’s not the saaaaaame Momma I want to be ACTUALLY ALONE.

Got her to school, went in with her at her request, and she did seem to perk up some so fingers crossed that she is having an OK day.

Successfully went to Lowe’s and got a replacement toilet lever handle thing for the one that literally snapped off in my hand last night when I went to flush our toilet.

Got a call that they are approving my accommodations request for the Bar exam! So that was exciting!

Went to my doctor’s appointment, my yearly physical for meds refills which my doctor insisted on and he’d sent a message that he Would Not refill my anxiety meds if I missed this appointment. And. The receptionist wouldn’t let me in. I have a lingering cough from a cold last week, had multiple negative Covid tests, but apparently if you have symptoms you have to have a negative test within the past 24 hours? Except that info is nowhere on any of their patient info, and the sign only says that you have to wear a mask if you have a cough? And I was wearing a KN95. She rescheduled me for the next available appointment... in OCTOBER.

I cried a bit in the car. Went to Goodwill, which was my plan for after the appointment. I considered not, but there was stuff in the car to donate, so I went.

In Goodwill, there were Zero available carts, one person who had a tic/stim/idk that involved periodic shrieking (which like... I am not upset at all with that person. I was, however, pretty frazzled and on edge from the whole doctor thing and my anxiety kept shooting back up when it happened), and two families that nearly came to blows over a vase. After the family who allegedly had put it on reserve relinquished it, the other family was like... loudly protesting for the next 15 minutes about how absolutely disrespectful it was, they had no right to try to call dibs on something without putting a note immediately on it, etc. So it was uuuuuh it was not the de-stressing shopping I was hoping for but I DID find a cute skort and a nice summer shell so.

I got a message back from my doctor apologizing for the morning and letting me know that he will put in a refill for my scrip until the October appointment, and also talk to the front desk because apparently what they are SUPPOSED to do is switch the appointment to a phone appointment so the patient can talk to the doctor from their car. So at least that’s settled. And if it happens again, I know we can switch to telehealth.

Now I need to finish a bunch of paperwork for work stuff and I so don’t want to. It’s been a rollercoaster day and all I want is to lie in bed and play video games.

Question regarding the last ask you posted but doesn’t she like drink blood in a bottle or am I going crazy? Didn’t they say she hated formula? And they are totally okay with that? Jacob is totally okay with that? On that note if they cared about humans stealing donated blood people could use in an emergency seems to go against Carlisle’s whole thing sm set him up with and I hate it

Yeah, Carlisle tried to get her to drink formula and in her one instance of behaving like an actual child, reacted to it like a little kid and lima beans or something. And then Edward is like “well I can’t say I blame her, it smells gross” rather than being upset his precious angel soul-saving child prefers drinking human blood.

Really Carlisle is the only one you can even vaguely sense having any problem with Nessie’s diet, but it’s not even clear if SM meant it as “he’s a doctor and thinks she needs human nutrition too hence formula” or “holy shit Edward created a child that drinks human blood what is that going to do to her mental and moral development? Please drink this formula instead.”

And yeah letting her just have human blood is . . . I don’t get it. I mean I guess I understand a little from the “she’s still growing, maybe she needs it?” standpoint but literally Carlisle does not provide human blood for any of the rest of them BECAUSE (as SM HERSELF EXPLAINED) it is easier for their resistance to keep that taste off their tongues. It’s sort of like the logic of “it’s easier NOT to have any cookies than just one and stop.” But with Nessie it’s like, oh sure, let’s just give her more of this resource that humans need, and let her get used to the taste of human blood so she absolutely knows what she is missing when we switch her over to animal blood. They could get animal blood from a butcher. They could kill an animal themselves and bottle the blood. It’s not like it would be that hard for them, and if there were any sense this seemed harmful to Nessie THEN they could be justified in the human blood thing, maybe.

I didn’t have a problem with the original stash of blood, because I’m pretty sure Carlisle had it because he thought Bella might need a transfusion. I don’t have the book on hand to check but I’m almost positive (heh) there’s some comment in there about Bella’s blood type; he’d only need to buy a specific blood type if he’s planning a transfusion--if he’s just planning to feed it to newborn!Bella or whatever-this-being-she-is-pregnant-with-is, then the type wouldn’t matter. So, yeah, initially he got it to keep a human (Bella) alive with a standard medical practice (transfusion) so that seems morally fine to me.

(Side note . .. wouldn’t transfusion make WAY MORE MEDICAL SENSE than Bella drinking the blood? SM has had three pregnancies, surely she understands that Nessie doesn’t directly “eat” what Bella eats, right? I mean I guess it was written like a weird craving thing, but if Nessie/the pregnancy is ‘eating’ Bella’s blood then giving Bella transfusions to replace the blood loss seems like a better idea than having her drink it. I know people are like “lol why didn’t the doctor and the two vampires who went to med school figure out the fetus needed blood?” and I’m like . . . because that’s not how pregnancy works? How would Bella’s still-human body process that blood to be of any benefit to Nessie? ALSO transfusions could be a Fun Dracula Reference but of course we can’t have nice vampire lit things, so).

So, yeah. Nessie and her diet just feels like a major mess to me. And the weird thing is SM invented the whole hybrid mythos. She could have had Nessie prefer human food, or maybe just a few drops of blood mixed in with formula, or whatever. But she CHOSE for this baby to drink human blood AND chose that NONE OF THE CHARACTERS have any problem with this at all. Not Edward. Not Rosalie. Not Jacob. Maybe Carlisle, a little, if you tilt your head and squint. Like, WHY go there if it’s not going to matter to anything? It doesn’t even matter with Charlie; Nessie’s just like “oh I know not to bite Grandpa” and is perfectly in control. Why bother making her vampiric at all if it doesn’t matter to the plot?

Edward and Rosalie hate/hated being vampires and they’re just all LOL look how fast she drinks, sure bite Jacob, yeah formula is gross, WOW that’s a big elk you killed good job, baby! It’s weird.

cross-posted from my facebook:

To borrow from the legendary Taylor Swift on her Eras Tour: it’s been a long time coming. For the past six months, after realising that SMA is progressing at a rapid rate in my body now and having a breakdown in part due to that, my mum and I reached out to Ray of Hope. We asked if they could help me with financial access to a $375,000/yr treatment that will halt the disease progression the way they helped baby Zayn and Devdan. We asked if we could fundraise for enough to stabilise my condition for a year, while we see what MOH does with supporting the treatment for SMA patients. Last Friday, my fundraiser was posted: https://rayofhope.sg/campaign/sherry/

It wasn’t an easy decision to ask Ray of Hope for help. At several points, I nearly pulled out. Firstly, it’s a sensitive issue to ask people for money, and doing so is intensely stigmastised in Singapore because healthcare and finances are seen as highly personal responsibilities. Second, I was worried about the impact public recognition might have on myself and my family. And third, did I really want to put a price tag on my life?

But facts are: I wasn’t the one who put a price tag on my life. The manufacturer of the treatment, Roche, was the one who put the $375K/yr price tag on my life and the lives of other SMA patients. (Which, by the way, is more than five times what the average non-disabled Singaporean earns.) And I’m fundraising because of my family as well. My brother Gabriel reminded me of that when he told me that, when I almost died in the hospital last September, he was afraid I’d die without seeing him fulfill his dream of becoming a doctor.

I want to be there for Gabriel at his med school graduation. I want to take my dad to Taylor Swift’s latest tour after he took me to her last Singapore show and said her music makes him feel young again. I want my mum to see me achieve greater things in my career after seeing she was far more ecstatic than I was about me contributing to Not Without Us, Singapore’s first Disability Studies anthology. I want to be there when my best friend Brianna Albers, who has used every opportunity she’s had to advocate for me to be treated, is a published novelist. I want to go to all the family events I’m invited to for years to come. I want to see who else God wants me to meet, because almost everyone I’ve met so far have been lights in the darkness.

It’s important to remember that time with our loved ones and fulfilling our dreams is a right every SMA patient should have. Without treatment or a miracle, the odds of us having those things decreases significantly with time. It used to be something we had to accept, but that’s not true anymore. And it’s why, if I don’t raise enough to fund the minimum span of time it would take for the treatment to stabilise me, whatever I’ve raised will go towards the next SMA patient fundraising through Ray of Hope. Because there will be more, and I want to do my part. And even if you can’t or don’t want to donate to me, I hope you do your part by spreading awareness of SMA, this life-saving treatment, and the injustice of its cost.

the blood talk has me cackling bc i just ended hematology lessons in med school and the professors are like. please give blood! it's cool and fun and awesome! which it is. but it is sometimes funny the way they do it. one of the profs was giving an unrelated lesson on doctor-patient communication and was giving us some very generic life lessons and then she just goes “oh if you're ever really sad and depressed and lost, just donate some blood! it will make you feel good for helping someone else :)”

-🍃

me on my second date with hinge man when he said he was o negative: omg you should donate your blood please do that

Okay so I posted a thought on Twitter and now I'm bringing it here with more lmao

Country ranch worker Andrew meets famous city boy Neil :) my hallmark Christmas movie cliche dreams.

Andrew working on the farm. It was his fathers and when Tilda died it went to the twins. Built on the land in a generation old agreement is Palmetto Retreat. A fox rehab center that gets donations from people coming to rent cabins and volunteer at the center. Wymack runs the retreat and rescue.

Aaron lives out of town so he can attend med school. He used to work with the local town doctor Abby Winfield.

Andrew owns and runs it by himself most of the time. He hired on Matt and Seth to help out.

Renee is a bartender and part owner of a popular local bar. Roland is another bartender there. Allison is the town's rich girl who part owns the bar too.

Neil is a popular actor that after getting into a public fist fight with Riko Moriyama - has been told that he needs to clean up his image. The easiest way to do that is to star in a few classic christmas feel good movies. He's filmed one already that's in post production.

They're filming a classic story about a city girl who comes to her small hometown around Christmas and meet a local boy from her childhood. They fall in love and she helps save his families business from going under.

Neil's costar is a woman named Marissa.

Gonna add more at some point but it's getting fleshed out :))))

A life update + a plea for help

Recently I was asking for help because my mom was hospitalized, they treated it like it was a heart attack but ultimately that wasn't the cause. She has an enlarged liver and stones in her gallbladder. We don't exactly know what is causing this. She's got doctors appts lined up and is in bed rest right now.

Before this we had an agreement out of necessity, that when one of us was in college, the other would take care of the house and pets. It was mom going to school and I was helping out around the house, cooking, ect but as moms health started getting worse my role grew into being the primary caretaker. I cook and clean and do pretty much everything. Mom tried to stay in college as long as she could but sick days and doctors appts started getting in the way. Sadly most of the professors weren't really understanding of this so mom wasn't selected to finish. The student loans and grants she received was our primary money to get by and without it we just have our two disability checks. (I'm autistic and mentally ill and my mom has epilepsy) it's really just 1600 a month and with rent and utilities we can barely get by. The bills have been adding up and I haven't even gotten access to my behavioral meds because I don't have the transportation, the money for transportation or the money for delivery. I'm fucking broke. I feel done for and hopeless.

These past two weeks have been a nightmare with me taking care of everything, not having groceries...whatever but honestly what matters to me is keeping up with my pets food and supplies. They are elderly or special needs, the kitty in the pictures above is Toby. He's one of my babies and he needs special food that I've run out of today. I need to buy it or else he will have a high risk of dying. He can't eat anything else. I am here begging for help. Like if anyone could donate anything today I would be so appreciative. My pets are very particular when it comes to food. My dogs are 15 yrs old and my cats are around 10+. Anyone who has elderly pets understands. As they get older the prices for their food gets higher. I have a week left before I get my check so it is really urgent.

I'm no contact with my family bc they were abusive so it's been just me and mom and no one else. It hurts thinking I have no other choice but to beg and each time I do it I feel this ache in my heart. I hope you guys understand what this money goes to and how much it means to me. I can barely put it into words but I am thankful. I'm glad there's a chance someone out there cares because my life has been cruel and my pets are all I've got. Without them I'd be dead and with no purpose in my life.

Thanks if you read this far. I'm sorry I'm so sad all the time. I hope one day I'll get to write about good news on here.

not racism or religious persecution, maybe a negative type of emotion...

In my life, I'm in THE SITUATION of situations.

One layer of it is subjecting me to college youth sounds, who if not to irritate me, try to run thoughts by me, using some form of wireless fMRI, to detect emotional parts of the brain, to see if I feel something like anxiety in reference to a suggested thought. Depending on the emotion, they try to construct what they think is my mindset.

Part of the problem with this one layer of trial/error mind reading is the age of the individual(teen vs middle age) & whether that person is a lawyer vs. a doctor, or someone more inclined to objective fact vs. subjective emotion...

To be blunt, the aforementioned youth voices I'm hearing (you maybe hearing on a different frequency inaudible to me) come off as white individuals. They're loose energy of a teenage nature, naive/liberal notions on what they think is bettering the world, harassing me as one "who wants to be old/thinks he's hard/and is a love lost romantic..." These are the things white kids think about...

The ones pulling their strings? They sound black. I feel through my mom, they try to enforce ideas of hard discipline, in my adult age. This notion of saying someone's elitist through youth voices? It's something black people accuse other black people of. In 2012-2013, I called the FBI to mention something unnatural, that was coming to my attention. That evening, an angry black woman answers the phone, and before I could get my point across, she says "Well, maybe you should stop calling..." Would a psychology trained FBI representative say that? The University at Albany has an understandably different dynamic from a school like Binghamton or Georgetown University. Georgetown attracts thinkers/idealists from private schools, from my experience at a private school. Binghamton had a high Jewish population, along with Indian, and Muslim, and people from cities in New York that are upstate/that you didn't think existed. Binghamton also maintains reputation as "Harvard of the SUNYs" because of admission of higher test scores, which leads to more academically inclined students, which leads to more funding, and alumni donations. Albany? It's not Westchester. It's not Binghamton, with what my friends of time, called "townies." It's a nameless demographic. Not city, not rural. It attracts a lot of Italians and black individuals from Brooklyn, and other downstate cities. The test scores from these areas aren't as high as Binghamton's demographic, which leads to less funding and less refined facilities, and closing down of academic departments. When I was there, they were closing aspects of the foreign language department, while underfunding other departments.

Albany seems to deal with volatile youth. It is a reputed party school, if it's not known by them, it definitely is, in Westchester County of NY. These two aspects could be because of test scores that are indicative of the level of studying done by youth - which doesn't matter, so long as you do well in college.

But where this works against me? I go to Albany for a fresh environment to start and finish Computer Science degree with ADD meds like Vyvanse, a stimulant addressing focus deficit. I had a whole other undergraduate experience in Binghamton, from Iona Preparatory School, where I couldn't wrap my head around electrical engineering. I returned back to Binghamton, after finishing computer science in Albany with a Bachelor of Science, to then complete my MBA in Management Information Systems.

Now in Albany, one of my part IT jobs involved an individual who saw me like an assistant to drop off his mail, in the fashion of someone working at a movie theater for extra cash, to eat out and watch movies. With my second job there, it was in rough neighborhood, past Arbor Hill, in downtown Albany. One day, at age 21-22, not 17 like the other undergrads, I lock myself out of my single room apartment, that's part of a suite of other individual apartments (EMPIRE APTs) on the Albany campus. I go to Residential Life office and tell them, "please unlock my door, as I need my car keys to drive to work, downtown, through the highway, before I start my next class. There's a person sitting at the desk, she's white. It might've been 9:30 AM. She told me she doesn't start helping, with door unlocking, until 10:00 AM, as that's the rule. It's like Christ dealing with the Pharisees, who help their animals out of holes/ditches, but not individuals, because of interpretation of Sabbath rules. I tried to tell ResLife that I can't be late for work, that it's not a movie theater job, that I'm an older student on a younger campus. The fat white woman then brings her black coworker along. She gives me an even harder time. The black woman tells me I'm impatient and some random things. I mean come on, try to understand the situation. Once it's 10:00 AM, by which I should've been at work, she decides to get in a car, when ResLife is across from my apartment in terms of walking distance. She drives in circles a couple of times around the apartment community, while telling me to wait by apartment door entrance for door unlocking. I see her, and wonder what she's doing. After some more time passes, I go back to Reslife to see her there. I ask her why she didn't help me this time. Apparently she didn't see me and I'm needlessly getting worked up again. She just wanted to get me riled up. That's something thugs in reality television does to make you look retarded. She eventually opened my door and I was late to work. When I got back to the apartment in the evening, I emailed her superior, also black, about incident. Apparently that's how it is and I'm needlessly getting riled up. They view these things as being high minded, but vs. a teen, what do adults do, when administrators aren't doing their jobs? They report it. Now, this is around the time something is painting me as an anti-woman, mean, high minded individual who doesn't like it when people don't look at him. "The don't look at him part" is youth's way of hiding from me, the fact that they spread my face around in some shape or form with some random back story. These possibly kids find compatriots in the black community there, who find me "elitist" by kids definition. Then the kids find a way, with this staff, with the mind readers/controllers in the computer science building and school of nanoscale engineering, to make their assumptions a reality. They decide to use my complaints about staff misbehaving, to have everyone, everywhere I go, give me a hard time, to ... I guess justify their actions as part of a show or aspect of show that didn't start until later. To hide spreading a picture of my face (nothing indecent-only for them to keep showing me naked later, under helping kids gets over themselves notion), now the mind readers/controllers, through a specially designed audible frequency to everyone but me and/or the radio, alert people to my presence, so everything can think they know of me. Then they all snowball into 1 big problem, get involved with a theme associated to a show for troubled kids show, where cameras are placed to detect things like" if teenagers are doing drugs." How all this happens legally, I dunno? But then I realized they feel they can exploit my parents, and have me under their care, by passing me off as mentally ill.

At the University at Albany, Like a poetic...picture? There's a VP of Student Success, a white man by the name of John Murphy, and his black counterpart (like something from a racially equal Men in Black type setting), Clarence McNeill, VP of Student Affairs. They decide to encourage the kids on campus to screw with me without telling me, while telling my parents, in front of me, that they've seen cases like mine before, and that I'm suffering from schizophrenia. They tell me that I, a 4.0 GPA student from Iona, should transfer to a community college, where my credits will transfer over from Albany, and I'll still get an Albany degree.

They also put me on disciplinary probation, because I tried to report their behavior to the President of the School, who happened to be retiring in a month. For calling him and just asking him to call me back, in his answering machine, I was accused of what's called "pursuing the President", like a stalker, a homosexual(I'm straight), I dunno. The school forbade me from talking to anyone at the institution, about the truth, behind my situation, with threat of expulsion, after disciplinary probation.

Scan my memories, m*ther F*ers. Relay them. Is any of this a lie? What does your emotions lie detector say, while I'm thinking through this (for/by recall) and writing it.

My roommates were hardcore Italians. One was head of a fraternity. I guess he was the alpha male, getting his apartment mates-who shared rooms- marijuana, party access, and alcohol. This boy, 17, & looking like a young Luigi from Mario and Luigi without a mustache. He touts "I'm from Brooklyn, yooo..."I guess it bothered all of them that I could afford to live in the only single apartment bedroom within our apartment suite. Maybe it didn't help they were 17, and, if you've seen my goatee/long hair pics, "I look like "the alpha male. Testosterone tension from the other guy? Regardless of who was the alpha male, like a maid, every so often, I cleaned the bathroom in our apartment, on a weekly basis. I shaved and showered every morning, like a professional going to work, before class. I wanted a clean place with hand soaps. On one day, I left some post-its next to things I bought with prices, hoping it would get these neanderthals to pitch in, on bathroom supplies. How'd they respond? They leave a sign at my door, saying there are roaches coming from my room, because the Italians stereotyped me into a perception of what they thought as a dirty Mexican. I also bought my water in water bottles, instead of using a Brita Filter. I had no room in my apartment, so I left it directly outside my door, with my Polo zip boots, and that was another thing on their sign. Apparently, I needed to move my things from a shared space in the hallway of our apartment, even if its against the wall, next to my bedroom door.

I confront my suite mates about this behavior. It gets heated. The Italian frat guy comes up to my face and starts yelling. Then him, 3 of the others, one of their black friends who's 3x all their width and height, try to shove me in my room. I managed to shove all 5 back at once. Adrenaline? Then I close my door and sit there wondering WTF?! Then I get news from Reslife that the Brooklyn Luigi reported me as punching him, when I didn't, while the other four verified his statement. Now I'm a violent offender on campus. WTF? You know that not everyone can say the N* word. Not even sure if I can say it. Regarding the Italian, thinking a Guido is a stereotypical Italian with slicked back hair and an attitude, I tell him to F*off Guido. He responds I made a racial slur against his people as though it's the N* word. I wish he could see how stupid his a*s is. A F*n twig with an attitude. This is in Albany.

I've faced random moments of friction by people of all faces for random reasons. When in Binghamton, I would buy everyone a birthday cake from Walmart on their birthdays. On one occasion, it was my roommates birthday in a classic style dorm room. I didn't want him to know about the cake, so I ask the guys in the suite style dorm room, next door, if they can hold my cake, which we can all partake in. It was a big cake. Our buddy Denzel, lashes out at me for no reason, for asking him to hold the cake, only to later say he was having a bad day, and I tell him to f*off.

In high school, my locker neighbor, Desean? While walking to classes, a group of kids pushed him into the mud. When we were at our lockers, I asked him if he was okay. He flips, takes some of the mud on his blazer, and wipes it on my face. WTF?

In Binghamton, a girl by the name of Jun Zhou, who I believed to be a friend, went to ResLife saying I was mean to her, because I called her Jun Tou from the movie Rush Hour, as a joke. WTF?

When in Binghamton, a white man hit my car when I was making a left turn from my Allergist and told the police it was my fault. My father at the time, came to Binghamton, talked to the guy, gave him money, and elderly white man is making fun of my dad to me, as though I was going to agree with him or join in with him. Uncultured/disgusting hicks. Oh wait, did I risk a racial slur...a race of hicks and guidos...really?!

When in Iona and grade school, there were kids, who I later realized wanted to be my friend, by disturbing me in class, for my attention, thinking I"m the cool/smart Indian guy or one of the smart George's, as there were four Indian guys with the last name George. In retrospect, was for best that I didn't try to be more warming to these guys, because their laziness in academics and marijuana habits, probably would have rubbed off on me. It's why I don't associate with kids like the youth voices. Who you hang around, speaks to your character.

As a 1st generation Indian America, I never faced racism or loss of opportunity over appearance. Its been an equal opportunity harassment, intermittently, rarely, when it did, because of envy (jealousy, acted upon)...
