so one of the things that's so horrifying about birth control is that you have to, like, navigate this incredibly personal choice about your body and yet also face the epitome of misogyny. like, someone in the comments will say it wasn't that bad for me, and you'll be utterly silenced. like, everyone treats birth control like something that's super dirty. like, you have no fucking information or control over this thing because certain powerful people find it icky.

first it was the oral contraceptives. you went on those young, mostly for reasons unrelated to birth control - even your dermatologist suggested them to control your acne. the list of side effects was longer than your arm, and you just stared at it, horrified.

it made you so mentally ill, but you just heard that this was adulthood. that, yes, there are of course side effects, what did you expect. one day you looked up yasmin makes me depressed because surely this was far too intense, and you discovered that over 12,000 lawsuits had been successfully filed against the brand. it remains commonly prescribed on the open market. you switched brands a few times before oral contraceptives stopped being in any way effective. your doctor just, like, shrugged and said you could try a different brand again.

and the thing is that you're a feminist. you know from your own experience that birth control can be lifesaving, and that even when used for birth control - it is necessary healthcare. you have seen it save so many people from such bad situations, yourself included. it is critical that any person has access to birth control, and you would never suggest that we just get rid of all of it.

you were a little skeeved out by the implant (heard too many bad stories about it) and figured - okay, iud. it was some of the worst pain you've ever fucking experienced, and you did it with a small number of tylenol in your system (3), like you were getting your bikini line waxed instead of something practically sewn into your body.

and what's wild is that because sometimes it isn't a painful insertion process, it is vanishingly rare to find a doctor that will actually numb the area. while your doctor was talking to you about which brand to choose, you were thinking about the other ways you've been injured in your life. you thought about how you had a suspicious mole frozen off - something so small and easy - and how they'd numbed a huge area. you thought about when you broke your wrist and didn't actually notice, because you'd thought it was a sprain.

your understanding of pain is that how the human body responds to injury doesn't always relate to the actual pain tolerance of the person - it's more about how lucky that person is physically. maybe they broke it in a perfect way. maybe they happened to get hurt in a place without a lot of nerve endings. some people can handle a broken femur but crumble under a sore tooth. there's no true way to predict how "much" something actually hurts.

in no other situation would it be appropriate for doctors to ignore pain. just because someone can break their wrist and not feel it doesn't mean no one should receive pain meds for a broken wrist. it just means that particular person was lucky about it. it should not define treatment.

in the comments of videos about IUDs, literally thousands of people report agony. blinding, nauseating, soul-crushing agony. they say things like i had 2 kids and this was the worst thing i ever experienced or i literally have a tattoo on my ribs and it felt like a tickle. this thing almost killed me or would rather run into traffic than ever feel that again.

so it's either true that every single person who reports severe pain is exaggerating. or it's true that it's far more likely you will experience pain, rather than "just a pinch." and yet - there's nothing fucking been done about it. it kind of feels like a shrug is layered on top of everything - since technically it's elective, isn't it kind of your fault for agreeing to select it? stop being fearmongering. stop being defensive.

you fucking needed yours. you are almost weirdly protective of it. yours was so important for your physical and mental health. it helped you off hormonal birth control and even started helping some of your symptoms. it still fucking hurt for no fucking reason.

once while recovering from surgery, they offered you like 15 days of vicodin. you only took 2 of them. you've been offered oxy for tonsillitis. you turned down opioids while recovering from your wisdom tooth extraction. everything else has the option. you fucking drove yourself home after it, shocked and quietly weeping, feeling like something very bad had just happened. the nurse that held your hand during the experience looked down at you, tears in her eyes, and said - i know. this is cruelty in action.

and it's fucked up because the conversation is never just "hey, so the way we are doing this is fucking barbaric and doctors should be required to offer serious pain meds" - it's usually something around the lines of "well, it didn't kill you, did it?"

you just found out that removing that little bitch will hurt just as bad. a little pinch like how oral contraceptives have "some" serious symptoms. like your life and pain are expendable or not really important. like maybe we are all hysterical about it?

hysteria comes from the latin word for uterus, which is great!

you stand here at a crossroads. like - this thing is so important. did they really have to make it so fucking dangerous. and why is it that if you make a complaint, you're told - i didn't even want you to have this in the first place. we're told be careful what you wish for. we're told that it's our fault for wanting something so illict; we could simply choose not to need medication. that maybe if we don't like the scraps, we should get ready to starve.

we have been saying for so long - "i'm not asking you to remove the option, i'm asking you to reconsider the risk." this entire time we hear: well, this is what you wanted, isn't it?

#where's the word woman in this u might wonder if u suck #good news i am nonbinary and have a uterus so that is something that can happen #im also gender fluid tho which means im immune to certain psychic damage bc if u call me a woman i'll be like <3 okay <3 #writeblr #the tightrope of ''ppl need access to this''#and like also #''what the fuck is going on over there'' is like. so difficult as an activist #i was <3 punctured <3 during mine #and almost bled out on the table :) they didn't have anyone standing by bc it's ''just a little insertion''#so i started crashing and i vaguely remember apologizing for the fuss as i heard my heart rate monitor start going <3 tachycardic <3 #she wasn't even a bad doctor tbh #ps btw the reason i even HAD a heart monitor is that i have a genuine heart condition and they knew GOING IN that there was a chance #i'd crash on the table #like my heart just likes to do fun little tricks and <3 stop working <3 (i do not want to discuss the specifics ty i am okay im ontop of it #and they were like 'oh u will be fine' and then she did do a puncture thru my uterus . pop!#and im sitting there dizzy and feeling my heartrate start to drop bc it feels almost. beautiful. like. the whole ground just #woosh! out from under you. and shit is like grey's anatomy. i'm looking up at her grey eyes #she's old she wears this nice shawl she's like got Cool Lesbian vibes and people are sprinting into the room #from other parts of the clinic unrelated to me. while the monitor is like a little aria singing #and shes like hey youre okay stay awake stay with me something went wrong we have to keep trying #and i remember thinking - i was trying to think of nice things. i have so many beautiful places that now overlap #with this terrible memory #i became dimly aware that there was too much on her wrists and hands. like #that was too many liters #and then when they had finished all this. i packed up and drove myself home #i have had (bad thing) happen to me. and the same feeling happened after #that numb almost lamblike bleating. you cry without noise. like. ur body is so shocked and ur mind so empty #you just stare at the road and everything everything is happening behind glass and static and you are standing so far away from it #while you hold ur hands at 10 and 2. and something in ur brain is SCREAMING at you - IT WAS BAD AND IT SHOULDNT HAVE HAPPENED #and ur just watching the alarms in your body going off and youre thinking. a little pinch! ha. i think i just lost something important.

Trigger warning! This chapter dives into Jason Todd’s history, which includes: d0mestic vi0lence, r@pe, pr0stitution, substance @buse, child @abuse, and neglect. PLEASE be advised.

ao3

Note: I fucking loved writing this chapter. I will take a break though because it hit a little too close to home for me. I hope you all enjoy and, as always, reblog and refrain from being a dickhead and reposting my work elsewhere. Thank you!

A cold front ushered into Gotham quicker than the summer heat could pay its sorrowful respects, Gothamites struggling to acclimate to the drastic change in temperature. On the Gotham News Network, gas leaks and lawsuits were reported, detailing the inhumane treatment landlords provide for the elderly; it was nothing new to the godless city, each sin managing to top another.

Jason was desensitized to it, too. He recalled his time in an apartment on the upper East side of Gotham, near Murphy Ave. - his biological father stumbled through the door, fury steaming from his lips in the scent of bourbon, as he picked which target to his unfathomable wrath; Jason’s mother sacrificed herself when Jason’s motor skills were still developing, and skull fusing together from his ripe birth; yet, when Jason began reading, gaining ideas that inspired him to do good, he stood before his mother, fists balled and chest puffed, a zeal of a thirty year-old in a nine year-old’s body.

His father was why Jason’s mother dipped her toes into medication - he injured her so severely, she visited the doctor, who abruptly prescribed her narcotics without questioning the source of her injuries, and sent her on her way. Each tablet was a sense of bliss to her, something she missed so dearly, it enveloped her in endless bliss when she re-experienced it, so she became erratic for more, bargaining with the local shadows to entice her, indulge her, give her what she needed.

And Jason was learning from this. He blinked his deer eyes as he saw his mother dive into the pill bottle face first, and how his father’s silhouette looked carved in chalk. I’m okay, he told his teachers when they noticed his missing assignments, or unexcused absences from school. I was just sick. I forgot.

Never could he step down from his position as son, mother, and father - he was all a nuclear family to himself, and couldn’t afford to jeopardize his position. With his father dead, he was man of the house at ten, and grew three sizes to accommodate; with his mother paralyzed by chemically-induced numbness and familiarity in the shape of ovular bliss, Jason adapted rapidly, cooking meals for himself and his mother. And without the income, he stole what he could; after being arrested a few times, he feared not his own record becoming tarnished with demerits, but the judicial attention being shifted to his mother, whom he dearly loved and missed, and instead sold his soul to the streets, begging to give whatever he could so he could feed his mother, care for his mother, rear his mother as she needed.

After that dreadful night, though, when he visited his friends after school instead of checking on his mother, he re-entered the apartment, dirtied and covered in neglect. The air was thick with news he believed he had the power to prevent, the poor boy, his last light of innocence taken from him with her final breath before she lay lifeless on the bathroom tile floor, becoming one with the grime and mildew that accumulated.

He shed no tears that night. He cradled her, listened to her in lament, but remained a soldier for the mother he wished he knew. Jason held her as he rocked her to sleep, hoping the embrace could restore her soul to eternal happiness in the afterlife. With her, a piece of his soul died, too, and his smiles were in vain, voice seeming a bit tainted with a poison others in his life couldn’t quite identify.

It was quite ironic that he loved the theatre tenderly, as he became an actor at a young age, playing the role of a century. He performed at Apollo Theater as Lady McBeth, his mourning in tow each day he spoke of his mother and her life, as if she wasn’t a ghost haunting his mind post-sunset. His tongue was burning and heart lonesome as he performed exquisitely, so well that even he was convinced that his mother would be at home, waiting upon his arrival.

One night, after escaping from the hands of his disparaging foster parents, Jason picked up his equipment used to steal - or boost, if you will - automotive parts for cash. He used the pieces as relics to restore value to himself, whether it be in form of wrinkled, used money, or bartering for shelter, transportation, or a favor; that night, however, proved to be different in many ways: the moon entered its final phase, the quarter presenting itself behind passing clouds, Jason’s best friend had been missing for days, only to have his body recovered from the lake that day (another day of grief for Jason, no doubt, although he was anesthetized to death).

Jason found an abnormally shaped vehicle in Crime Alley, and he snickered to himself when he approached the profile, it was…the Batmobile. He kneeled and began his workmanship, spinning the car jack to loosen the lug nuts. Before he could finish, though, a presence bestowed itself behind him, the Fool, and it was the caped crusader himself.

The following months were a quick haze for the pre-teen - the vigilante revealed his identity as Bruce Wayne, and Jason, although ecstatic to belong in a home once again, didn’t shake his misfortune, the baggage worn around his neck like a lagahoo. If it wasn’t in his days as anxiety attacks and hoarding, anticipating the next loss, then it was carried through in his subconscious, the most unsuspecting of all in forms of nightmares and shapeshifting creatures lurking with a liquor bottle and belt.

Screams and pleas entered the halls of Wayne Manor, carrying all the way to Bruce’s chambers, and sometimes, on the most unforgiving nights, into the Batcave. It brought heartbreak to the home, especially to Bruce’s butler, Alfred, who served Jason much closer than Bruce could. Although Jason’s older adoptive brother, Dick, was polite and respectful of Alfred, Jason saw Pennyworth eye-to-eye, restoring some youth into the mature man when Jason assisted him in the kitchen, or with chores, with such glee (and it was a delightful task for Jason to partake in! He longed for mundane tasks that other children took for granted, gruelled about, resented their parents for, and Jason smiled with each load of laundry completed, or dinner prepped with Alfred.).

“We must do something, Bruce.” Alfred begged Bruce with broken eyes. “Not that cloak.” he spoke vehemently, with such disgust that the man could ever dare coerce Jason back into danger, this time with less protection and a daring purpose.

Yet his concerns were dismissed by Bruce’s concoction of arrogance and stubbornness, a deadly duo that ultimately led Jason to his demise by the clown prince of crime. His lifeless body lay on the concrete, and Bruce was taken aback by the woeful fate of the boy, despite the stern admonishments made by his aid at home. He vowed never to risk another boy’s life after this, to allow Jason to rest after sixteen years of distress.

The truth unfolded after the detective unmasked details of his son’s death: the clown had tempted him with the unveiling of his mother’s existence, his true mother. The pictures the clown’s unhinged partner took, which were messily glued to Todd’s tombstone, left little to Bruce’s imagination: the torture his son endured at the hands of a criminal, the look of terror in the boy’s eyes in one photo, with a shadow of a man’s arm in the air, crowbar in hand…

It was the first time since Martha and Thomas’s deaths that Bruce wept, shoulders slumped as he hiccuped. The boy died in vain. For nothing. There was no rest for his tortured soul, no restitution, requisition for the last breaths laborly drawn.

And when Jason arose from the dead, vindication sharp on his tongue, and life stolen from his green eyes, it only instigated heavier burden on Bruce’s aching bones, remorse deep in his voice when he faced the revived Jason returning back to Wayne Manor, distraught from uncovering that shortly after his death, Bruce replaced him.

—

“So…you were Robin?” y/n asked.

Jason nodded sadly, face pointed at the starry sky. “Yeah.”

Silence cursed them again, the night drawn out from Jason’s confession. Y/n didn’t expect it to be this tragic, although she appreciated it quietly. “Do you miss her?”

The words caught Jason off guard. He was used to y/n’s surprising angle on conversations, scoping out a person differently than the status quo. No small talk, no pleasantries, just rawness. “I talked with Bruce’s shrink about it - he said she could help or some shit,” his face warped in disapproval. “But I don’t. I romanticized the idea of her, but to be honest, she chose drugs over me. It hurts sometimes to think about, but that’s that. It was easier for me to think of my dad as a piece of shit, because he basically hit me more than he talked to me.”

“Makes sense. Guys are often stupid pieces of shit. No offense.” y/n raised a hand.

Jason shrugged. “None taken, we’re sacks of fucks.” he scoffed at his own comment. “I still kinda resent Bruce for wanting me to be Robin, I mean…why did he think that was any bit okay to do?”

“Maybe because that was the only way he could handle grief?” y/n offered.

Propping himself on his arms, palms flat behind him, he breathed deeply. Y/n had a point, though: when Bruce introduced the idea to Dick, Dick felt the same type of grief Bruce had; however, when the mantle was passed to Jason, the mourning was different, if at all: both Bruce and Dick had someone to lose, whereas Jason hadn’t.

And it showed when Jason worked the role. He showed sympathy to petty criminals, sometimes aiding and abiding them, to Bruce’s disapprobation; his demeanor soured as intel regarding trafficking rings and abusers surfaced, knuckles bruised and teeth clenched as perpetrators’ blood spurted onto the Robin costume, tainting its bright colors into a deeper, richer tone.

It was worse when Bruce pushed Jason to attend the Wayne galas. The upper class flocked their wealth and acquitted crimes, which burned Jason’s ears as he heard someone’s misfortune reduced into a witty anecdote paired with hor d'oeuvres and sparkling champagne.

Jason knew of the children who were taken by the boogeymen and women in the dark. He knew of their lives and tales that were once short, stout, and sweet. The attendees spoke of their deaths apathetically, muttering insults under their breath as they attempted to justify their ill motives. Almost as if these were the boogeymen and women, simply dressed up in thousand-dollar gowns and heirlooms that cleverly disguised their sharp talons and venomous taste for the vulnerable, their souls containing all moral onus were snatched from their now-empty vessels. He argued with them at the galas about the children, urging them ferociously about their contributions, as if nobody dare exist outside of them.

How could they? A life so lavish, how could they know of any decision made out of self-preservation and greed rather than sympathy and the greater good? They were the one-percent, top of the socioeconomic chain, the bourgeoisie glaring down from their terrace views at the filthy proletariats below them - and while one could argue that the view from up high could be so grand that even the diamonds in the filth could be mistaken for fool’s gold, the wounded mistaken for the parasite that would consume the rich had they attempted to so much as inspect the streets, why would they then take measures to ensure their own safety, stuff more money into their pockets, knowing what they’ve seen?

The pasta salad Jason was poking at lost its flavor. A shame. “I know that Bruce couldn’t understand, but…Dick? I mean, you said he was Robin, too, right? And it wasn’t like he came from a wealthy background.” Y/n spoke between munches of lettuce that hung out of her mouth.

“Dick traveled a lot, and his family didn’t have a ton, but they were…a family.” Jason’s words were a sad string playing into the cemetery.

It was the truth. Jason was a true reflection of the city in which he was raised: impoverished and tattered, the result of a godless, greedy, unfiltered city full of beasts whose sins remained unpunished, unanswered for. His heart pumped true - as that of Dick and Bruce - but in deep red, different than the blue blood that his adoptive elder brother and father carried in themselves; they could never understand him, really, their path vastly disparate than Jason’s living tragedy.

All y/n could think to do was kiss the man beside him, spilling his life before her atop the delectable array of desserts he prepared for her. She cupped his cheek with her hand and pulled him toward her, their lips clashing into a deep but slow kiss. As y/n’s lips moved to hold Jason’s, she felt a tear on her thumb, the one on Jason’s cheek, and she inched her body closer to his, to ensure that she wasn’t another chapter in his story, either.

She hadn’t disclosed her sobstory - the one filled with angst, betrayal, and the anguish of abuse and torment year after year from those closest to her; she was just as tired as he, and finally felt a bond, vulnerable with someone besides the weeping albums she listened to when her nightmares resurfaced.

When they broke their kiss, only the faintness of the ghosts from their graves divided Jason and y/n. They held their hands, fingers interlocked, as they stayed close. Y/n hummed when Jason wrapped his arm around her shoulders, and Jason smiled (for the first time in hours) when y/n reached up to kiss the white patch of his hair, now knowing its origin.

Instead of parting ways after their food finished, they laid down, hip to hip, and counted the stars as they relished in the caress of each other’s skin. It was the first time Jason saw y/n so disarmed, which was jarring compared to her all-plaid, studded outfit. He liked her anyway, a bit too much for his liking, afraid that he was diving too deep.

And before y/n drifted to sleep in Jason’s arms, she felt the same fear subside, until it quieted to nothing but a puny whisper.

—-

Jason’s administrative account was open on his laptop when he arrived back at his home, securing each lock before he removed his leather jacket and set down his biking helmet.

He glanced at a notification on his phone, which was from y/n. He was glad she wasn’t insecure and reached out to him first. The innocent grin on his face quickly turned amorous as he opened the notification, which brought him to a video y/n sent of herself.

Naked.

Masturbating.

Determined, Jason shuffled to his armchair, unbuckling his jeans and wriggling his cock free from them as he sat and watched the video. Y/n ran a hand up and down her body suggestively, showing Jason what he was missing; then, after brief teasing, she opened her legs, sitting up as she revealed her wet cunt on full display for the camera. Jason’s cock twitched when he saw her swollen clit aching to be touched, and the thought of his head between her legs, thigh on either side of his shoulders, almost made Jason explode there.

Instead, he took the fuel and set up his webcam and account, enabling bluetooth on his phone and connecting his wireless headphones to privately hear y/n’s noises. He pressed a key on his laptop, beginning the livestream.

On one hand, he held the phone, the content away from the webcam’s view; his other hand stroked his cock, quickly, as he followed y/n’s every word.

“Put your cock in me, Jay.”

“Fuck! Yes, eat me out just like that.”

The phrases were too much for Jason to handle, who was moaning incoherently, fitting in garbled, “So hot” and “Gonna make you come.” His hand moved rapidly on his cock, and he was getting close, noises crescendoing. “Y/n, y/n, so good.”

It wasn’t until y/n exploded, dildo inside of her and fingers circling her clit, that Jason’s orgasm was ripped from him, his body tensing as he nearly screamed, eyes squeezing shut as he rocked his hips into his hand. “God, fuck.” he yelped, sucking a breath in as he felt his body tense up again after he thought his climax was over.

He had forgotten he was live. He didn’t know he said her name aloud in the dazed state. Nor did he know that he continued to say her name, over and over, as cum shot from his cock.

“I’ve been seeing someone. Hope none of you are jealous.” he admitted, blushing. “I’ll see you all later. Till then, take care.” he ended the livestream abruptly, finally taking a breath after logging out of his administrative account.

He closed his laptop and set it on the end table beside the wingchair, heading to the bathroom to shower and masturbate again to y/n.

Anjelica Duarte, 21 (USA 1991)

Anjelica was 18 weeks pregnant with her third baby. Unfortunately, she thought she had no choice but to undergo an abortion.

At some point after the birth of her second baby, a doctor told her to delay giving birth again for five years because of some health problems. It is unknown if Anjelica was actually examined during her third pregnancy to assess the right course of action.

In 1991, Anjelica had a legal abortion at Women's Place, an abortion facility in North Las Vegas. The 21-year-old mother would never see her 3-year-old and 1-year-old again.

The abortionist who killed Anjelica was Larry Thompson, who tore her uterus during the abortion that killed her third child. The abortion facility held Anjelica for an hour for “observation” but failed to recognize the uterine perforation or internal bleeding. They never gave Anjelica any medical treatment for her fatal injuries. They just let her bleed to death.

By the time someone finally called an ambulance, it was 7:30 PM. Anjelica had been left to bleed for so long that her body was exsanguinated. She was pronounced dead at the hospital by 8:00 PM that very night after losing 90% of the blood in her body.

Anjelica’s husband Ernesto sued the people responsible for killing Anjelica and her baby, but a judge dismissed the lawsuit. He continued to seek justice and the story was reported in local newspapers multiple times. Most legal abortion deaths don’t get much attention from the media, but Ernesto did not allow his wife and child to be forgotten. In 1992, the medical board reviewed the case and finally took action against Anjelica’s killer. They noted that Thompson did not have adequate equipment for post-operative care and revoked his license. (Nevada Board of Medical Examiners case # 8289)

BIOGRAPHY your character's background. (TW: death, medical explanations) ⸻

Easton hoped he would move through this life without incident, without anything that would shake up his whole world, but nobody gets what they really want.

Easton's world was mundane, ordinary even. The son of two Polish immigrants with a younger brother never screamed unique for him. He was just one of many in school as a child. His parents did the best they could, but they would often work long hours. Thankfully, he had his younger brother Ezra in his life to make the days less ordinary.

Despite the pressure he felt from the outside, Ezra always seemed to take his stress away effortlessly. While Easton felt lost in the universe, Ezra always seemed sure of himself. That's what was the worst about his accident. At fourteen years old, Ezra not only insisted on becoming involved in school sports but demanded it in hopes to integrate himself more. Eventually their parents caved and he was able to start playing football for their high school, excelling in it almost immediately.

It wouldn't be much longer until Ezra experienced the last blow, literally. A usual game, just like the others before, that ended up with his brother facing up on the turf. As a precaution they went to the hospital, but was diagnosed with nothing more than a simple head injury and sent home without further testing. Days later, in the middle of the school day an ambulance arrived to take the younger James brother to the hospital.

It was an undiagnosed traumatic brain injury from the blow to his head. If it had been caught early enough, Ezra would have been fine, but without a CT scan to diagnose the injury, his brain was left to bleed and the pressure caused him to seize and lose consciousness. Ezra never woke up after that. At sixteen years old, Easton became an only child.

The hospital took his parents aside, offered them a measly 500,000 that went as quickly as it came, to avoid a lawsuit and without knowing anything else, they accepted. It didn't matter what payout the James family received, it didn't take away their loss. Easton couldn't understand what had happened, that he lost his brother from a stupid mistake. After that, Easton was done living a life of uncertainty.

He became obsessed with his brother's case, even if it would never bring back his brother he learned the mistake they had made and he enraged. The system failed them and he would do anything to make sure that wouldn't happen again.

Studying for the rest of his high school years, he rose academically to make sure that he could get into the best school, the best programs so that he could become a doctor that would be more diligent than those who treated his brother. His parents watched their oldest go from a soft young boy to a toughened man. He had gotten into the University of Maryland without trouble and dedicated all his time and studies to prepare for medical school.

All that hard work paid off and he accepted a position at the NYU medical school. Vindication was within reach and even if time passed, Easton never forgot about Ezra and what happened. He had seen numerous cases in school of those with a head injury, each one of them correctly diagnosed and they left the school with their lives which was never offered to Ezra.

Easton was about ready to graduate, but his best friend suggested a road trip to upstate New York for one last celebration of fun before they all went their separate ways with their residencies. However, a fallen tree would derail their plans.

Through the woods, Easton lost his friend and managed to be discovered by people who helped him and took him to a place that he was safe. He felt like he was losing his brother again when they told him that there was no way out of this place he had stumbled upon and now he faces the same pain he felt all those years ago.

Now, he's been hearing his brother's voice at night and slowly he's going mad.

thick, wavy, flowing black hair. but always tied up in a bun or ponytail. always away from her face.

height is 5' 8½" (1.74 m)

lean build, very athletic

> THEA’S PRESENT:

the jones family were constantly moving between new york and elias, but as dorothea grew older, she found herself staying more in elias. thea stays mainly at her family’s house there, but spends most of her time out anyway <3

she haunts the local dance clubs and has a good nose for the nearest party. she’s known to be quite flirty and devil-may-care. loves to gossip. loves to know people’s business.

she’s very quiet about her past, and prefers to live in the present. she’s dorothea jones, always has been, so don’t even try and dig into where she came from.

she studied performing arts & communications at walt uni and just finished this year. she now does whatever she wants, is fiercely protective of her family and friends, does auditions for shows all the time, and is currently in whatever musical is playing at fantasia theatre.

> THEA’S HISTORY:

dorothea is from hallow falls. born into the family of the clown with the tearaway face and the harlequin demon. the family hosted hallow falls’ very own cirque du fou. the clown children were trained from birth to be acrobatic, ready for the stage as soon as they could hold themselves upright. they were known for performing death-defying stunts, always on the precipice of a lawsuit. dorothea was as talented as her siblings, but as she grew up, she found herself distracted from the circus and more interested in books and studies. she loved finding new worlds to dive into and started skipping shows and staying out as late as she could. whenever she came home, her father never let her hear the end of it. often, the punishment was forcing her to do the most dangerous stunt, and this has resulted in a lot of injury and scarring for dorothea.

she met serena when the woman visited hallow falls for the first time in almost a decade. upon hearing the news of her father’s death, serena finally visited to handle her father’s estate. a myth had grown in town: of the house of old doctor fain was haunted by his creepy experiments, and the ghost of his dead wife and daughter. everyone was shocked to know serena was alive and well (and a successful costume designer by this time, already married to the famed investigator, freddy jones).

she was curious to know why the myth had spread, and it turns out that there was something happening in old doctor fain’s house. the windows shuddered at midnight, with strange lights streaming through the windows, and high-pitched cries heard during the night. when serena arrived at the house to confront the ghosts, all she found was a clever 13 year old with speakers, makeshift coloured lights, and the gleam of mischief in her eye. dorothea had been squatting at the fain house for months. she would go to perform for her family, scrounging for coins and stealing valuables from the pockets of bystanders, and then go to sleep here.

serena got to know the girl and let her stay. she enlisted dorothea’s help with collecting all of her valuable belongings (which wasn’t much to begin with), and then sorting out trash from potential donations. they chatted, had tea, and serena found herself growing to like the girl more and more. she could see how dorothea enjoyed her company too, and loved hearing how witty she was, with all her unique observations of the world and vivacious energy. serena shared her old books and clothes with her, and also made dorothea new clothes with the fabric she had left at her father’s house.

she stayed at hallow falls for longer than intended, hesitant to leave the girl. while she was there, she tried to make dorothea’s life easier. she bought her books. she spoke with the circus family to try and let them see dorothea’s potential, encouraging them to let her pursue extracurricular activities at school, but she was laughed away. and then they made her stay and watch a performance, roping dorothea into a tightrope act without a net to catch her. serena was horrified, but dorothea survived.

when it was finally time to go, she promised she would be back — and not a week later, she brought her husband with her. together they marched to the circus family, ready to fight for the girl, but dorothea had already beat them to it. dorothea finally convinced her family she was worthless to them, that she would only sabotage the circus if she stayed, and spill all their dirty secrets.

and when she brought forward the adoption papers (with everything but signatures ready) … dorothea was embarrassed, distraught at looking like she was ‘scheming’ this all along. just another manipulator and criminal like her family, and she initially hesitated to come with the joneses. but when serena assured her that nothing else would make her happier than to have dorothea come with her ... that sealed the deal.

Tonya Reaves, 24 (USA July 20, 2012)

Tonya Reaves was very loved by her family. She loved her parents, was very close to her twin sister Toni and had a 1-year-old son named Alvin. She was also engaged and was probably looking forward to her wedding.

Not too long after Alvin’s first birthday, Tonya was pregnant and ended up going to a Planned Parenthood in Chicago for an abortion. She didn’t know she would never get to walk down the aisle or see her son again.

(Planned Parenthood has been found to constantly mislead clients on the safety of abortion and has even posted false information on the internet to try to convince people that abortion is safer than birth. Despite the science that proves otherwise, these myths are still widespread. The corporation was also founded by Margaret Sanger, a racist and ableist eugenics supporter who believed that Black people like Tonya were inherently inferior. Margaret Sanger was even invited as a guest speaker to meetings of the KKK and accepted the invitation.)

Tonya was 16 weeks pregnant when she underwent a D&E abortion, which involves tearing off the baby’s limbs and crushing the skull. This kind of abortion has a known risk of body parts (including sharp bone fragments) being left inside of the uterus.

Tonya suffered from severe internal bleeding and excruciating pain. She needed urgent help, but Planned Parenthood left her to bleed for over 5 hours before finally calling an ambulance.

By the time an ambulance was called and Tonya was taken to the hospital, she was in such bad shape that an emergency hysterectomy was needed in an attempt to control the bleeding. Despite the hospital’s best efforts, it was too late to save her. She died on the day of her abortion (July 20, 2012) at the age of only 24.

Tonya’s autopsy revealed the extent of the injuries inflicted by Planned Parenthood. Impression marks from forceps were visible in her uterus and both the right and left sides of the same organ were described as “ragged.” Hemorrhage was severe; Approximately 30% of her blood was lost to internal bleeding.

Tonya’s family was furious at the way she was killed. They sued Planned Parenthood and eventually won $2 million dollars for her death, but no amount of money could bring back Toni’s twin sister, little Alvin’s mother or the baby who had died brutally just hours before Tonya.

South Africa ICJ Genocide Case Against “The Bastard Child of the United States and the West, The Illegal Regime Of Isra-Hell” — What You Need To Knoe

— Sunday January 8, 2024 | IslamChannel.Tv

South Africa filed a landmark legal case at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) alleging Israel's onslaught on Gaza amounts to genocide.

Submitted on December 29, South Africa's 84-page lawsuit graphically details the brutality in Gaza and urges the ICJ to rule that Israel has breached international law. It asks the court to urgently order Israel to cease hostilities, provide reparations, and reconstruct destroyed Gazan infrastructure.

The case accuses Israel of violating the 1948 Genocide Convention, which defines genocide as "acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group."

"No armed attack on a State’s territory no matter how serious — even an attack involving atrocity crimes — can, however, provide any possible justification for, or defence to, breaches of the 1948 Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide (‘Genocide Convention’ or ‘Convention’),1 whether as a matter of law or morality,” says the document.

It also adds that Israel has failed to prevent and prosecute incitement of genocide and references statements made by Israeli officials and others justifying Gaza's mass killings.

South Africa confirmed the ICJ has scheduled initial hearings on January 11-12 at the Peace Palace in The Hague, with Pretoria requesting an expedited process given the ongoing bloodshed.

Critics question the court's power, given that past rulings have been ignored without significant repercussions. But any potential ICJ judgement favouring South Africa and the Palestinians would put considerable pressure on Israel's staunchest ally - the United States - to call for a ceasefire.

Responding to the suit, Israel's Foreign Ministry rejected the allegations, denouncing South Africa's lawsuit as "blood libel" and a "despicable and contemptuous exploitation" of the court.

The US National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby said South Africa's submission was “meritless, counterproductive, and completely without any basis in fact whatsoever.”

Over 21,000 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza since October 7. It includes over 7,000 children, with a further 7,000 missing and presumed dead amidst rubble. 55,000 others have endured injuries or maiming.

World’s Most Wanted War Criminal SATAN-YAHU

“Bastard Child of the United States and the West, Illegal Regime of Isra-Hell, Has Failed To Prevent Genocide”

Genocidal actions listed in the exhaustive suit include the killing of large numbers of Palestinians in Gaza, especially children. It says 60% of Gazan homes have been destroyed, 85% of the population has been expelled or displaced, and there has been an enforced blockade on food, water and medicine.

“Israel has now pushed the Palestinian population in Gaza to the brink of famine,” says the filing.

It also cites Israeli measures to prevent Palestinian births by destroying health services critical for the survival of pregnant mothers and infants.

All these actions, the filing asserts, are “intended to bring about their [Palestinians] destruction as a group”.

“The facts relied on by South Africa in this application and to be further developed in these proceedings establish that — against a background of apartheid, expulsion, ethnic cleansing, annexation, occupation, discrimination, and the ongoing denial of the right of the Palestinian people to selfdetermination — Israel, since October 7 2023 in particular, has failed to prevent genocide and has failed to prosecute the direct and public incitement to genocide," it adds.

The suit also mentions reports of “Israeli soldiers performing summary executions, including of multiple members of the same family — men, women and older people.”

And paints a picture of the grim impact on families: “An estimated 1,779 Palestinian families in Gaza have lost multiple family members, and hundreds of multigenerational families have been killed in their entirety, with no remaining survivors — mothers, fathers, children, siblings, grandparents, aunts, cousins — often all killed together.”

Beyond genocide, South Africa charges Israel with assaulting Palestinian culture by attacking sites of “religion, education, art, science, historic monuments, hospitals and places where the sick and wounded are collected."

Expressions of “Genocidal Intent” By Isra-Helli Officials

An astonishing 8 pages detail the "genocidal intent" against Palestinians expressed by Israeli officials and leaders.

“Repeated statements by Israeli State representatives, including at the highest levels, by the Israeli President, Prime Minister, and Minister of Defence express genocidal intent,” it says.

It cites Prime Minister Netanyahu comparing Palestinians to the biblical Amalek, whom God commanded the ancient Israelites to destroy. The biblical verse says: “Now go and smite Amalek … kill both man and woman, infant."

In another comment, Netanyahu said despite the death and destruction in Gaza, “we are deepening the fighting in the coming days, and this will be a long battle."

It says President Isaac Herzog “made clear that Israel was not distinguishing between militants and civilians in Gaza, stating in a press conference to foreign media — in relation Palestinians in Gaza, over one million of whom are children: ’It’s an entire nation out there that is responsible. It’s not true this rhetoric about civilians not aware not involved. It’s absolutely not true. … and we will fight until we break their backbone.’"

The filing mentioned other comments made by Israeli officials, including:

“Israeli Minister of Energy and Infrastructure: ‘Tweeting’ on October 13 2023, Israel Katz stated: ‘All the civilian population in Gaza is ordered to leave immediately. We will win. They will not receive a drop of water or a single battery until they leave the world.’”

“Israeli Minister of Finance: On October 8 2023, Bezalel Smotrich stated at a meeting of the Israeli Cabinet that ‘[w]e need to deal a blow that hasn’t been seen in 50 years and take down Gaza.’”

“Israeli Minister of Heritage: On November 1 2023, Amichai Eliyahu posted on Facebook: ‘The north of the Gaza Strip, more beautiful than ever. Everything is blown up and flattened, simply a pleasure for the eyes … We must talk about the day after. In my mind, we will hand over lots to all those who fought for Gaza over the years and to those evicted from Gush Katif’ [a former Israeli settlement].”

The report provided evidence of similar statements made by Israeli army officials, advisers and other spokespeople in the media.
