I would like to see more people talk about how jobs treat disabled employees.
I used to prep, wash dishes, and cook at mellow mushroom. I had chronic pain that wasn't NEARLY as bad as it is today, but it was still very debilitating. I told my employer "i cannot stand more than 4 to 6 hours. I CANNOT do shifts longer than this due to my illness." And even though i made my boundaries VERY clear, everyday i worked it was 8 hours at the least and 10 or 12 at the most. I would go up to my manager and say "look i really need to leave, my shift is over, my chronic pain is killing me." And he'd say "we really need to here, you HAVE to push through." And so i did, and after one, ONE month of that job my crps got incredibly worse to the point where i could no longer walk my dog around the block which was .5 miles. I quit, and that was FOUR years ago, and ever since that day I HAVE BEEN BEDRIDDEN AND HAVE TO USE A WHEELCHAIR. It is my biggest regret in life.
My best friend who has seen my whole journey has recently developed undiagnosed chronic pain, and she is in the EXACT same scenario i was 4 years ago. Busting her ass at a pizza place with extreme pain that hurts her so much she tells me "im in so much pain i don't even feel like a person." She doesn't feel LUCID. And her manager and coworkers are saying the same thing "if you don't help us you will let us down, we'll be in the shit."
That job thats hurting you isn't fucking worth it. I promise you no money is worth losing all your physical abilities and never getting them back. Your coworkers and boss do not give a shit about you, so don't you dare suffer for them. They will never understand your struggle and they will never try. They truly think being understaffed is worse than whatever pain you experience. They would rather you permanently damage yourself than inconvenience them. FUCK THEM. DON'T FUCKING DO IT!

I need a fic touching on this concept.
ugh. something about the inherit tragedy of the fact that crystal will grow up and charles and edwin will stay sixteen forever. theyâre friends but crystal still has her whole life ahead of her and edwin and charles are stuck in a sense. she canât stay with them forever. the whole point is that she can still live past sixteen but theyâll never be able to. to stay with them is to trap herself. to stay with them is to keep herself from growing up. i have no doubt that theyâll stay friends for a long time but sometimes life is about moving on, even if you want to stay. even if you have to be dragged away kicking and screaming. even if the people you met leave irreversible imprints on your life and who you are. crystal will grow up and hurt and heal and figure out how to exist as herself, how to exist as crystal the psychic and crystal the human. crystal will grow up and the boys will forever be sixteen.

I canât remember if I have talked about this before but I think Charles might have been able to live. Like I donât think it was certain but Edwin says he knows Charles wouldn't have survived because he could see him but Edwin has only just come back as a ghost and probably is operating on medicine from 70 years before hand. And they accept that some people who can see ghosts survived life threatening situations because that is what happened to Niko and what Monty claimed happened to him.
So I donât think it is a certain thing but I think that maybe there was a chance and that Edwin becomes more aware of that as time goes on and feels horrendously guilty that he did nothing because Charles makes it very clear he didn't want to die. But eventually Charles finds out about these feelings and tells Edwin a) he doesn't and never would blame him for his death and b) if it was a choice between definitely dying peacefully beside Edwin or fighting for his life in a hospital and dying without ever getting to know him, whether he lived or not, Charles would pick the attic every time.

Yâall, if youâve not read The Scarlet Alchemist, PLEASE do.
The story takes place in an alternate universe Tang Dynasty around 800CE and focuses on a girl and her cousins as they try to become civil servants. Zilan specifically wants to become a royal alchemist, and she also has the ability to raise the dead. The whole lot of them are imperfect and endearing.
Zilan is my favorite kind of heroine. Sheâs practical and grounded and not an Action Girl with something to prove. The pacing is exceptional and the world is immediately immersive.
Iâm about twelve chapters in and absolutely loving it.

I love this.
Also, can't help but to imagine what the Dead Girl Detective show would have been like.
It's Awful Here
Finished up the Dead Girls piece, and oh I'm love. Decided against a corset for Edith, just a chemise and bloomers. I kinda wish I'd done more with Charlotte's clothes, but they're just Charles' right now. His outfit is pretty gender anyway. Also enjoyed the lighting here - back lighting AND holding the lantern made for some fun puzzles to solve.
Hope you like!

Gren saying he promised himself he wouldn't cry at the wedding
Finally learning anything about Callum's dad-bonus point for it happening because Callum recited a poem to Rayla
Runyan being back.
Briefly meeting Rayla's parents.
My Favourite Details This Season
Callum pacing and tossing the cube in episode 1 he's just like me fr
"I heard you were up here losing your mind ;)"
"Lots of books, I like books :D"
"I HAVE AN IDEA" "So,,,, what's your idea-" *runs out of room*
"I HAVE A SECRET PLAN" with the most dramatic stage whisper I've ever heard
SNEEZLES IN CALLUM'S SCARF
Pyrrah stretching like a cat
Literally every interaction Soren and Corvus have. The party conversation. "Maybe it's edible" "NO, and PLEASE don't find out" and then Corvus having to tell him to spit it out. "Youâre a man of mystery, Corvus ;)))" and "You clearly didnât learn anything at camp đđđ" âItâs not great.â âYeah I tried. âOkayâ âItâs the effortâ. Sorenâs head falling onto Corvusâ chest
Janai being so damn tall. I swear to god this woman grows like a foot every season. What is happening to her. Why is she like that
"Wake up kids!" When they arrive at the frozen sea
"Itâs literally frozen in time đŽ" "itâs literally frozen in ice, itâs figuratively frozen in time"
"The frozen ship, so sadđ"
Rayla sitting on the table reading a book imagining the characters sheâs so silly
âIs Rayla crying?? IâM COMING RAYLA đĄđĄđĄâ
âRayla! Iâm here!â *door slams in his face*
"NO PUNCHING THE BOAT" and Callum's facial expression and pose afterwards đ
Sneezles and Stella being buddies
âYour breath is warmâ âOhâŚsorryâ
The way they SITTT (Karim in his throne, Janai after trying to burn the tree, Soren against the wall in the first meeting, Miyana on the rocks in the second episode, Ezran on his bed, Janai near the tree, Rayla lying on her bed and on the table)
 RAYLLUM ON THE SIDE OF THE SHIP
âARE YOU BEGGING FOR MERCY?â âNOâ âGOOD, YOU DON'T DESERVE ANYâ HOLYYYY SHIT
Terry's glasses making their heavily anticipated return
"And this is Rayla- wait, did you want to do your own intro?"
"Welcome to the starscraper đ" "WELCOME?! YOU NEARLY KILLED US" "Nearly, but the fates seem to have another path in mind for you" "The FATES?! What does that even... is that even an apology?!"
"Okay, you both seem on the nice side, so not to be rude... as if somehow this is ruder than throwing people out from a great heightđđđ..."
âWait, is everyone else wearing blindfolds too?â âThat is a joke.â âYeah it was funny đĄâ
STELLA TRYING TO STEAL THE SKETCHBOOK
âWhereâd you get that comically large block of iceâ
Callum trying and failing to use Raylaâs blade and almost cutting his fingers off
âHow do I insult a star spider? đ Ezran would know what to do- ow OW HEYâ
Astridâs little trans speech your honor I love her
"This orb.... is a giant peice of candy đ"
Jack De Sena's voice acting in Kosmo's hallucination?? Hello?? Poured out his heart and soul all for a hypothetical
"A child will die đ " I'M SORRY IT'S A FINE LINE BUT IT CATERS TOO MUCH TO MY SENSE OF HUMOUR FOR ME TO TAKE IT SERIOUSLY
Wind elk :)))))
The awkward giggles when they're about to kiss that first time
THE VOWS, THE WAY THEY LOOK AT EACH OTHER, THE CEREMONIES??? EVERYTHING ABOUT THE WEDDING IS PERFECT IâM CRYING
The entire âfiscal exercicesâ conversationÂ
âHER DAD JUST DIEDâ

Like the amount of stuff that'd make this a cool af show is a criminal offense and I WISH I had the money to fund that

This is really interesting. It wouldn't be surprising if has dad kept him from his heritage and forced his mom to assimilate. Then there is the question of pressure to assimilate from larger society.
One thing i want to point out is his mom walking around in south Asian clothes in their house.
Another thing I have been wondering is what he says when he meets edwin for the first time and asks why he is different from the Pakistani kid his school mates beat up. Idk know history well enough to know if there was was a specific historical/sociopolitical reason why Pakistanis were less accepted than Indians in England back then. Or was the Pakistani kid an immigrant, unlike Charles who was born in england and half-english. Or did the pakistani kid act " too pakistani" while charles acted " British enough"?
Was charles proud of his Indian heritage? Was he interested in it? If so, which parts in particular ( music, food, history, religion, traditions? Did he learn his mother's language?).
It's funny (and great!) seeing fics where Charles is able to share his Indian heritage with the gang... at the same time, I think I find him more relatable if he's missing connections to it x)
I wasn't taught Guadeloupean culture : I don't speak creole, I don't know how to cook the cuisine, I don't have a real understanding of how it works, and anyone who could have taught me is either dead or not really a part of my life (granted, I'm further down the generation line since migration than Charles is)
So I guess for me it's interesting to look at Charles from the angle of like. Here's this thing that was a huge part of my mother's life and for whatever reason she's not sharing it with me, and I don't have like. A reason or a space to dig into it so why would I right? It's not a big deal.
Until the moments when it is

people make great points about Edwin running faster than Charles despite not being the 'athletic' one because of his time running in Hell, but consider if you would:
Charles deliberately runs slower than Edwin to guard his back from whatever's chasing them

this is just TOO good.
I really hope s2 will incorporate instances that highlight the differences between the main characters' time periods.
A scene I absolutely need to happen in Dead Boy Detectives (fingers crossed hoping for season 2) is for Charles and Crystal to finally put together 1) the fact that Edwardian medicine involved a lot of Hard Drugs, and 2) Edwin, being an Edwardian Boy, has likely had narcotics before.
For example, imagine the boys get hit with pollen from some kind of supernatural flower and it starts to affect them. Edwin is trying to read his books to identify it but is struggling, so Crystal is taking the lead.
"Oh! Okay - here!" She points to an index of supernatural botany with a summary list of species that affect ghosts. "I just need, like, symptoms. What are you guys feeling right now?"
"I don't bloody well know, it's like- it's like." Charles starts off, but is interrupted quickly by Edwin 'we should investigate this molly character' Payne.
"The sensation is extremely similar to cocaine."
Followed by a long silence as Crystal and Charles absorb this information.
(and the description is helpful because Crystal's rich bitch party girl lifestyle had, in fact, involved coke)
EDIT: additional idea for just a random convo between
Charles, already realising the answer as he says it: you ever get drunk when you were at school?
Edwin: No, I haven't been intoxicated with alcohol since I was a child.
Charles, who decidedly had NOT known the answer: You what?
