at first sight? — GOJO SATORU [TEASER]

pairing: gojo satoru x gn!reader

word count: TBA (looking to be around 5k-ish??)

RELEASE DATE: NOW POSTED

content: soulmate au, gender neutral reader, minimal use of they/them pronouns for reader, but gender is not specified, sorcerer reader, fluff, angst with a happy ending, brief swearing/explicit language, implied satosugu as past soulmates: can be interpreted as either romantic or platonic, fic takes place after jjk 0 but before the show starts

analysis: this is a world filled not only with curses, but soulmates too—in which you know someone is your soulmate when you first make eye contact with them. but for your case, things can get a bit complicated when someone is wearing a blindfold.

here, in this universe, you can tell that someone is your soulmate by simply looking at them. so with that, the saying of “love at first sight” is actually pretty accurate here. you see them for the very first time and barely know the person and yet, somehow, they’re the one you’re destined to be with.

with that, you’d think it’d be pretty common for two random people to run into each other while crossing the street or something and bam! suddenly you’ve found the supposed love of your life!

and you? well, for you, that hasn’t happened yet.

to be fair, it’s not like you’re actively trying to look for your soulmate. handling curses as a jujutsu sorcerer is difficult enough. (maybe you’ll run into them one day after saving them from a curse or something. how romantic.)

it’s better to leave it up to fate. it’s fate who decided your pairing anyway, right?

your transfer to jujutsu tech had been fairly smooth. after being stationed in kyoto for a while, tokyo was a nice change of pace.

coincidentally, you had been out of the country during the incident known as the night parade of a thousand demons. a scary event that proved the threat of curse users to be formidable.

because of that, your decision to transfer to tokyo seemed like the right thing to do. and so far, it’s been decent.

it’s a nice change of scenery. the students are aspiring; while maki and megumi aren’t the friendliest, they’re warming up to you. toge and panda are gradually improving.

nanami’s pessimistic outlook on jujutsu society and shoko’s overall unenthusiastic demeanor are certainly interesting for the most part, but your coworkers are pleasant to be around.

well. except for one.

꘎♡━━━━━♡꘎

gojo satoru knows that you are his soulmate. he has indeed known this fact right from the very start, ever since your first meeting.

even with his blindfold on, he could see your own eyes before him. his six eyes can see everything. the thing is.. he didn’t know he could have another soulmate.

his situation with geto suguru is something he doesn’t talk about with anyone. maybe shoko at times, but even then, it’s rare. it’s not that he doesn’t want to, but it’s pretty hard to talk about.

after suguru defected, gojo could still obviously feel their bond. even though they were no longer together as the strongest duo, did it really matter when their souls were still connected to one another? it was a factor that played in avoiding (and perhaps meeting up with) each other as the years went by.

satoru felt their bond die that day after the events with okkotsu and rika. and it had frightened him. that lingering presence of the bond was no longer there.

so imagine his surprise when he sees you.

a new sorcerer in kyoto, now transferred to tokyo. normally, gojo doesn’t seek out the new recruits, but yaga had dragged him over regardless. besides, he might as well get to know his possible assistant teacher that would be helping him out with the new first years.

“i guess i can check out some new faces,” he relented with a sigh, adjusting his blindfold and looking to the side as yaga’s steps slowed as they approached you.

gojo rolled his eyes–not that you’d see it anyway–as yaga introduced you with your name and your sorcerer grade. he stopped to stand next to the principal.

you extended your hand to offer a handshake, and gojo finally turned his head.

that feeling as his gaze fell upon yours beneath the blindfold was familiar—frighteningly so—and unfamiliar at the same time. as if he could breathe for the first time in ages. your eyes are unaware, but they’re so revealing to him.

satoru stuttered in his movements, reluctantly taking your hand. the skin that touched yours felt like it was on fire. he briefly held on to see if you felt it too.

but you simply smiled up at him.

“it’s nice to meet you, gojo,” you said, blissfully unaware of the revelation currently dawning on the man before you and the turmoil it brought as he abruptly retracted his arm back.

gojo stiffened. he merely offered a curt nod before turning on heel and walking away briskly. he could faintly hear yaga protest about his sudden departure before apologizing to you hastily. satoru shook his head.

how was this be possible? how could the universe give him two soulmates? he didn’t even know that was a thing that could happen. he wondered if there had been a similar occurrence before.

gojo couldn’t help but feel nauseous. was this the world playing some sort of sick, cruel joke on him? or was it perhaps giving him a second chance?

and truthfully, it wasn’t like gojo even wanted another soulmate. not after what he had been through with suguru. he hadn’t given it much thought.

was it really worth it?

what if he couldn’t protect you too?

so satoru had decided on one thing that day. the blindfold stays on. concealing his eyes from the world not only for him, but for your sake too. he was certain in his choice; he would never tell you the truth.

as far as you were concerned, you haven’t met your soulmate yet.

and never will.

[decarbry]

hey,, what’s up friends, I bring you... a literal summary of the Yabureme story up until around war arc events. obviously this is spoilery so if you don’t want to know what happens until the relevant comic pages come out don’t expand the post! this is just for people who don’t mind spoilers. also keep in mind that this is a summary so I kind of just. word-vomited. it’s... weird? short and sweet but not in some places. a literal mess. I put 0 effort into writing good and some sections are more wordy than others because I've thought them through for longer and have them more solidified. also things are subject to CHANGE between this and the actual comic pages so read with a grain of salt. the major events are probably gonna remain the same though. things might get inserted or removed. idk. also it’s LONG I’m so sorry. enj... oy ?? ?

Aizawa has been taken. Midnight and Nezu attempt to comfort Mic; there are no leads, but the faculty have already started working schedules out to help search, which reassures him. Though he is desperate to join the search, Nezu refuses to give his blessings until he knows Mic won’t act rashly. Mic hosts the Sports Fest in an attempt to ground himself and find unity with the students.

Hidden away, Garaki has begun his work on Aizawa. The injuries are bad; though Garaki is an accomplished and varied medical professional, he can’t do what Recovery Girl can, so Aizawa is merely stabilized and the bio-engineering in later dev stages will be relied on to do the heavy lifting. Aizawa suffers 2 days and nights of infusions (one for each new quirk) and barely powers through an intense fever on the last night. The capsule is the final and longest stage to allow the quirks to take hold and the body to heal. All for One is a regular voice in the background during the entire process, though those visits stop after an incident in the capsule in which Erasure activated for a solid ten seconds and strikes everyone in the room before going inert again.

Time passes with no news. Mic is becoming frustrated and less willing to listen to reason. Classes 1-A and 1-B attend their summer camp with Vlad and various other heroes that have substituted since Aizawa’s absence. Bakugou is kidnapped by the League in an attempt to recruit. Though the topic is raised, Shigaraki refuses to do more than tease Bakugou about his missing teacher, as well as use him as a bargaining chip. We still have yet to see him since his abduction. The mission to rescue Bakugou begins.

All Might engages in combat with AFO at Kamino. His weakened form is exposed to the world and he musters up his strength for the last strike. Instead, OFA fails, and all heroes present immediately know why. Edge Shot rushes to interrupt Erasure while Endeavor attempts to reach All Might. Neither get there in time and All Might takes a blow straight through his chest. Endeavor takes over the fight against a wounded AFO and Edge Shot engages in battle with Yabureme. Edge Shot is killed and Endeavor manages to subdue AFO.

Hours after the battle ends, Kurogiri searches for Yabureme, who has not reappeared as he was meant to. He finds Yabureme badly injured and hiding after his fight with Edge Shot and warps him back to where the League has taken up to recover. Shigaraki only knew that AFO had plans for Aizawa, not that Yabureme was to be a gift for him, but Kurogiri informs him of this. Shigaraki is unimpressed considering Yabureme’s wounds after only a single fight, but he’s going through some stuff, so he has license to be a bratty child for a night. Once Kurogiri hears from Garaki, he takes Yabureme to be patched up. Later he’s returned to the League, who as a whole are unsure about what to do next now that AFO is captured.

While everyone else is appalled to hear rumors that the supposed-missing Eraser Head was present at Kamino and had a hand in assisting the villains, Mic suddenly has a new fire lit under him. He breaks away from UA and strikes out on his own, against the pleas of friends such as Midnight. He manages to track the League’s movements after much work and finally sees Yabureme for the first time… but is unable to reach or speak to him as his quirk is erased during their escape.

Class 1-A witnessed Mic depart and, with the help of other pros, manage to convince Mic to let them help in catching Yabureme. He is very resistant to putting them in danger but relents with the alliance of Midnight and Gran Torino. During a previous sighting it was noted that Yabureme’s movements slowed and stiffened the more eyes were open on his body, so a plan is hatched to surround Yabureme with as many enemy quirks as possible in order to stun him.

Yabureme is located. He’s alone, which is odd, but not wanting to miss their chance, the operation is launched. Surrounded by what he believes are hostile enemies, Yabureme opens enough eyes to erase the quirks of every student, stunning himself. A short battle ensues; Kaminari is injured but proves instrumental in the discovery of a weakness in the Nomu: that an electrical current will force all of his eyes to close and subsequentially interrupt Erasure. Mic, Gran Torino, Midnight, and Class 1-A succeed in capturing Yabureme.

Too much of a threat for any normal prison containment, Yabureme is taken to Tartarus. They learn: about the nature of his engineering, that exhaustion has nearly killed him, that unlike every other Nomu contained so far he is not a corpse, and that three quirk factors were combined to create Yabureme. Erasure and Dupli-arms (or related) are confirmed, but the third is still being investigated. Because the third quirk is still unknown, containment is at a risk and a shock collar is placed to help mitigate any attempts at escape. The students are brought in to speak to him after everyone else, including Mic and Midnight, fail to get any response out of Yabureme. Unfortunately, the students are also unable to get through to him. Their failed efforts leave them dejected. Yabureme doesn’t speak a word the entire time he is inside Tartarus.

After a few days, the third quirk is activated by an unknown trigger. Yabureme and AFO escape Tartarus with the help of Kurogiri— the timing of the pieces prove that this was orchestrated from the beginning.

In the wake of the escape, Mic is told in secrecy that Yabureme has not removed the shock collar, probably because of its failsafes. It’s been tracked, and his location is known— a new operation is underway to recapture him. Mic rushes to get there first, finding Yabureme in solitude at an abandoned building, having split ways from the League temporarily to avoid getting them tracked while he tries to find a way to remove the collar himself. Mic and Yabureme have a tender moment, or so Mic thinks… but Yabureme slyly uses Mic’s obvious obsession with him to get the hero to take the collar off. Mic falls for it and Yabureme flees.

Though it seemed to be just manipulation, this kind interaction has left the first shred of uncertainty in Yabureme. He returns to the League and resumes his role in protecting Shigaraki and the others. A long period ensues where the League and the heroes play cat and mouse, Mic returning to society in order to accept help from friends and family rather than trying to go it alone as he had before.

Day after day, Yabureme’s doubts deepen as small things burrow into his mind: things like a song on the radio, a familiar black cat, names that he’s heard before. He can’t shake the face of the hero that spoke to him gently and had something warm in his eyes. He meets Eri, but seems to be merely a moment of warmth in her life before departing. Time passes.

The League grows frustrated with Mic, considering his constant interference as troublesome and annoying. Dabi sets a trap for Mic and attempts to kill him. Without any understanding of why, Yabureme takes the worst of the trap himself. He drags an unconscious Mic away from the inferno before collapsing with horrific burns across the right side of his body. Mic wakes in time to feel Yabureme’s heart stop, and in his anguish accidentally causes it to start again with the impact of Voice against the Nomu’s chest.

Mic manages to smuggle Yabureme to a hiding spot, containing him with the only thing available: simple metal handcuffs. Recovery Girl answers his call to the secluded site warily, unhappy that she is asked to keep such a dangerous secret. She stabilizes Yabureme and begins healing some of the burns, but considering his physical deterioration and exhaustion, can’t do much in one sitting.

When the Nomu wakes, Mic and Yabureme have their first real conversation, speaking mostly about the latter and how he’s feeling, what he’s thinking, and why Dabi, his supposed ally, would harm him so badly. He also points out that Yabureme could get out of the cuffs easily, and yet, for some reason, hasn’t.

On the second day, Recovery Girl returns, but so does a second guest: All Might. He is partially wheelchair-bound, the apparent repercussions of the wounds he took at Kamino. He expresses his unhappiness with this situation: Yabureme needs to be properly contained, not hooked to a chainlink fence with fragile metal handcuffs. Mic wants his blessing but plans to keep Yabureme here at least for a short while, highlighting the fact that he’s behaving more openly now than he ever did while in Tartarus. They notice Yabureme watching them and All Might speaks to the Nomu alone. He and Recovery Girl have agreed to give Mic a few days with Yabureme until his burns have been treated, but that he will be returned to Tartarus after that— and now that the third quirk is known, escape will not be possible a second time. He shares some belief that Mic is right that there is hope for Yabureme and that if anyone deserved a path back to normal, it was Shouta Aizawa. He urges the Nomu to try his hardest to remember anything he can.

In the ensuing days, Mic spends time conversing with Yabureme. Unlike the catatonic state he was in while at Tartarus, Yabureme is nervously conversational, answering questions and asking them on his own. He admits his confusion and doubts to Mic, and Mic learns that the whole reason Yabureme was unresponsive while at Tartarus was because of the lights and the intense head pain they cause, utterly decimating his senses and thoughts. He wasn’t shutting down because of his programming or a need to be disobedient— he simply could not function in those conditions.

The morning of the intake comes. Tsukauchi and numerous officers arrive to take Yabureme into custody. Mic attempts to keep everything smooth, warning Yabureme about their arrival and making sure that there aren’t too many men appearing at once. Yabureme nearly panics anyway at the sight of firearms, but is calmed when Mic holds his hands and gives encouragement. Yabureme is taken into custody without a struggle, though he shuts down when he’s led away from Mic.

Mic apologizes to Tsukauchi for hiding Yabureme, but is forgiven considering the relative ease of the capture. The detective promises to keep Mic with Yabureme as much as possible this time around, since his presence clearly helps. He also acknowledges Mic’s request for accommodating Yabureme’s aversion to the bright lights of the prison, especially with the confidence that it might help with getting information out of the Nomu. Yabureme’s shutdown reverses some when Mic reappears in the police transport to travel with him to Tartarus.

Yabureme and Mic arrive at Tartarus and the Nomu is immediately assaulted by the lights. He’s given relief in the form of a sedative. His wounds are checked over while he’s out: it’s discovered that his right eye took far too much damage from Dabi’s flames and must be removed before the dead material causes an infection, shock, or worse. The majority of the burn scars will be permanent because of the lack of proper immediate care in a supplied burn ward. Aside from a handful of new scars and wear and tear, nothing else is noted.

Yabureme startles awake, finding himself in a Tartarus cell with Mic at his bedside. The lights are dimmed rather than blindingly bright. Mic gives him the rundown of what happened, and proudly tells him that the hardest part, getting to the start line of his recovery, was over. He is questioned for the first time the day after waking, and though he is much more responsive to interrogation compared to his last stint in Tartarus, Yabureme still shies away from answering questions that would cause the League a disadvantage… though he is clearly conflicted.

So begins Yabureme’s long road back to someone he didn’t know he used to be. Mic becomes the only foothold of stability Yabureme has, finding that his physical reassurances such as hugs and hand-holding are intensely grounding. The second time he is questioned, he holds Mic’s encouragement in his mind, and manages to talk shortly about some of the Leagues’ hideouts.

He still has doubts about all of this Shouta Aizawa stuff, but Mic works him through stories of his past gently and at a slow pace. The first bit of information that helps Yabureme see that the possibility exists of a connection between himself and this other person is a story Mic tells about Aizawa feeding cats on the street; Yabureme shyly, but excitedly, admits that he does that a lot too. After this, things begin to come more swiftly. Mic brings him his wedding ring, and Yabureme asks to hold Mic’s as well, and remembers the sensation of them clicking against one another in his hand.

With Mic’s help, and the help of a therapist that meets with him daily, more and more begins to come back. Even memories he reclaims are left blurry and dull, but once the flood gate opens, it doesn’t close, and Yabureme’s progress quickens the harder he works. When his memories begin to focus on Class 1-A, he asks to see them. Plenty is still missing, but he apologizes for the things he did to them, focusing on Kaminari and the wounds inflicted during his first capture. He wants to work for their forgiveness, but doesn’t expect it. Midoriya mentions that he seems a lot more like his old self, which fills Yabureme with a hidden relief and encouragement.

Time passes. Yabureme continues to work hard at getting back to himself, and the image of Shouta Aizawa gets more clear by the day. His old mannerisms begin returning in small amounts: rolling his eyes at stupid things Mic says, muttering about things that annoy him. When he gets a surprise visitor, both Mic and Yabureme are surprised to find Kaminari requesting advice for a hitch in his hero training. As Yabureme converses with Kaminari in an observation room, Mic and Tsukauchi watch, and both are amazed to see the clearest image of Aizawa they’ve seen since before his abduction. Mic takes the opportunity to ask about a road that leads outside of Tartarus and, though Tsukauchi doesn’t shut it down, he admits there are many concerns— specifically regarding hidden triggers that might still exist inside Yabureme’s mind. An idea is floated: bring someone in with a voice-copying quirk, and see what happens when Yabureme is faced with orders from Shigaraki or All for One.

Yabureme (Aizawa? Yabuzawa by this point?) agrees to the experiment, though he is clearly discomforted by the idea, unsure of how he mind be effected. The experiment begins. Yabuzawa is secured heavily just in case, but he is clearly determined, if nervous. The voice-copying quirk speaks in Shigaraki’s voice first, ordering him to turn his head to one side. Yabuzawa doesn’t seem to have a problem disobeying, but when the speaker doubles down and becomes hostile about his refusing to obey an order, Yabuzawa spirals and has a panic attack. All for One’s voice cuts in with an order that is obeyed immediately, and Mic is only able to snap him out of it with a slap to the face. The results are clear: Shigaraki’s orders can be ignored with enough work, but AFO’s orders seem unquestionable. Yabuzawa is frustrated by his own perceived failure in the experiment, understandably upset that despite all of the progress he’s made, they still hold some power over him.

Time passes. Yabuzawa improves with his response to Shigaraki’s voice, though still shaken after being faced with it, can do so without panicking. AFO’s orders seem unbreakable. Mic once again breaks the topic of getting him out of Tartarus, and after some debate, it’s agreed that the UA students and the hero efforts (and Yabuzawa himself) would benefit more with Aizawa back in the world. By this time the unknown of the League and AFO and the PLA have long been poisoning society’s trust in heroes; Erasure can’t be hidden away in a bunker with tensions growing by the day.

Mic is permitted to confine him to their apartment under police guard for increasingly longer periods of time, regular check-ins and evaluations, and lots of rules. Yabuzawa isn’t permitted to be alone with anyone aside from Mic, and when outside of the building must cover his neck, arms, and hands. Finally, the shock collar is back as a last resort. If you read this whole thing you’re a certified #1 Yabureme fan sorry I don’t make the rules

hai pom!!

was wondering if u had any recommendations for innocence or size kink fics for spencer?

thank u sm 💗💗

You'd have to be more specific with size kink because there are many different variations of that kink. As for innocence kink, I only really know of my own, because I don't like to read those stories (too many variables, lol). That being said, I do love to write them, so here are mine!

The Birds & The Bees (Series): Prof!Spencer, Virgin!Reader. Reader interviews for a position as Dr. Spencer Reid’s Teaching Assistant, and Spencer learns something special about her.

Big Bad Wolf (Part 1, Part 2): Spencer is overwhelmed by the apparent innocence of an elementary school teacher he meets on a case.

Cupid & Psyche: Reader and Spencer get kidnapped by a rather romantic matchmaking unsub who demands they perform for him.

I also have a WIP with an innocence kink called Hotel Coffee, about Unit Chief Spencer seeing a little bit of himself in the new young recruit. You'll have to stick around to read that one!

If you have any other ideas that would work for a blurb, I'd also be happy to add them to my list.

(Oops, I forgot to add Preciously Pure by the lovely @foxy-eva as another innocence kink fic)

[kneesheee]

Honestly speaking, it’s so many extra characters to add in the Descendants verse.

I tend to look at the antagonist from the television shows, games, and abandoned characters. Alongside minor characters if I need a character on the “good” side.

Here are just a few scrapped characters:

Marguerite is a character who was deleted from the final version of Beauty and the Beast, and would have acted as the co-antagonist alongside Gaston. 

Belle's Sisters were two characters who were deleted from the 1991 film Beauty and the Beast, and would have acted as co-antagonist with Belle's Suitors. 

Belle's Suitors were three characters who were deleted from the 1988 screenplay of Beauty and the Beast, and would have had an antagonistic role, along with Belle's Sisters.

In one early concept of Aladdin, there was going to be a Genie in the Ring that would team up with Jafar.

Professor Lefoof was supposed to be Anastasia and Drizella's music teacher, until it was decided that it would simply be Lady Tremaine, who led her daughters' singing lesson.

Arawn was the original main antagonist for the film The Black Cauldron. However, he was replaced by the Horned King.

Elvira was a deleted character from The Aristocats. She was Madame Bonfamillie's maid who assisted Edgar in his scheme to get rid of the cats.

Mick, Bowie, and Lemmy were three mummies Who assisted Yzma and were considered the tertiary antagonists in Kingdom of the Sun, the working title of The Emperor's New Groove. Their names were taken from those of three famous rock stars: Mick Jagger, David Bowie, and Lemmy Kilmister. They were replaced with Kronk.

The Vulture is a character that was originally created for Sleeping Beauty but was deleted during the film's production. Originally, Maleficent was going to have a pet vulture, which was meant to serve as comic relief (very similar to Iago) and had a New York accent. However, because his role did not contribute much to the story and also somewhat detracted from that imposing nature of Maleficent, he was cut from the final version of the film. Despite this, there was dialogue written for the vulture and some rough sketches for the character.

Zoltan the Magnificent is a deleted character in Atlantis: The Lost Empire who was recruited aboard the Ulysses as a medium claiming to be able to communicate telepathically with the Atlanteans. He was intended as a counterpart to Milo and other more scientifically-minded members of the crew; however, he was cut from the final version of the movie.

The Hunter is a character who was cut in the final from Disney's 1985 film The Black Cauldron.

These are a few antagonists from the shows:

Kileem is an antagonist in the Aladdin TV series. He was once a feared warrior who wore a suit of invincible armor. Many tried to defeat him but all failed. When Kileem finally passed away, his spirit possessed the armor. He appeared in the episode "Armored and Dangerous".

Mozenrath is a recurring antagonist in the Disney 1994-1995 Aladdin animated television series. He is a young sorcerer and necromancer who rules over the Land of the Black Sand.

Saleen is a minor recurring antagonist from the Disney animated television series, Aladdin. She is an evil mermaid sorceress with powerful aquatic abilities who attempts to steal Aladdin away from Jasmine; tbh, I headcanon her as Jay’s mom.

Abis Mal is one of the main antagonists in the Aladdin television series, first seen as the secondary antagonist in the direct-to-video film The Return of Jafar.

Ajed Al-Gebraic is Genie's old master, who is very greedy. He used up all his three wishes and sold Genie to a Sorcerer for eternal life, but not eternal youth. He appears in the episode "Genie Hunt".

Arbutus is a minor character from the Disney animated series Aladdin. He is a sorcerer and an entity of nature who thinks of himself as an artist.

 Lobster Mobster and Da Shrimp are recurring antagonists from The Little Mermaid television series. They are bumbling con-artists, who constantly antagonize Ariel and her friends

The Evil Manta, or just Manta, is a major antagonist who appears in Disney's TV series The Little Mermaid. Although it is unknown how old he is, he is believed to be ageless. He has the form of a giant black and purple manta ray, giving a foul presence wherever he dwells. He has a son named Little Evil; tbh, I headcanon him as Uma’s dad.

Ebb and Flo are two alligators and antagonists from the former Disney Channel series The Little Mermaid. They only appear in the episode "Beached".

Emperor Sharga is a character and villain from The Little Mermaid television series. Sharga is the emperor of Sharkania and the leader of the Sharkanians, a race of aquatic creatures that are related to sharks, just as merpeople are related to fish. He is cunning and tricky, and wants to take over Atlantica.

Daniel was Dr. Vile's apprentice; despite not liking it, nevertheless, had no choice because he needed the money for his poor family, in The Little Mermaid television series.

Dr. Vile is an antagonist in Disney's The Little Mermaid series. He appeared in the episode "Island of Fear". He is the former employer of Daniel who loves experimenting on crabs and turning them into crab mutant monsters.

Moray is a recurring character from The Little Mermaid television series. He is a moray eel who is dedicated to defrauding the people of Atlantica. He often tries to get Ariel into trouble.

Little Evil is a minor character in the television series The Little Mermaid. He is the son of Manta, who is a recurring villain in the series.

 The Sorceress (or The Lady in the Cave) is a minor antagonist who appears in the television series The Little Mermaid.

IN THESE TIMES

Something is stirring this spring. People in the U.S. are becoming increasingly interested in what commentators once called ​“the labor question,” following recent organizing victories at Starbucks, Amazon and Apple stores; well-publicized strikes of teachers, nurses and railway workers; and the unionization of staff, graduate assistants and even faculty at scores of campuses, including the recent successful strike of nearly 50,000 academic workers on the campuses of the University of California.

Evidence of this mood shift is unmistakable this spring as students, campus staff and faculty, together with unions and community allies, are coming together on or adjacent to more than 50 campuses nationwide — including ours — to engage in a remarkable national teach-in on worker rights and organizing called Labor Spring.

It has been a long while since we’ve felt this level of energy on our campuses around labor issues. The last such moment arguably crested in the second half of the 1990s. Following the election of John Sweeney to the presidency of the American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations (AFL-CIO) in 1995, a spirit of change swept the labor movement and attracted the attention of young people. Sweeney’s union, the Service Employees International Union (SEIU), had helped catalyze that spirit in the 1990s with its innovative Justice for Janitors campaign, which won significant victories for low-waged immigrants and workers of color through militant bridge blockades and similar acts of civil disobedience. Sweeney brought that spirit with him into the AFL-CIO’s leadership when he defeated Thomas R. Donahue in the first contested election in the labor federation’s history. His victory signaled a sea change in a movement that had suffered years of decline.

One of the most important features of Sweeney’s tenure was his effort to heal the lingering divisions that had developed between unions and student activists in the era of the Vietnam War. The healing of that decades-old schism paved the way for Union Summer, an effort to recruit young people to union organizing, which the AFL-CIO launched in the summer of 1996. That fall, another significant project took wing, a series of labor teach-ins at Columbia University, the University of Virginia and eight other campuses that helped electrify young people and attract them to the labor movement. Reporting on the overflow crowd that attended the Columbia teach-in, the New York Times likened its energy to that of a rock concert.

The 1996 teach-ins contributed to a remarkably fruitful period of labor activism. In their wake, an anti-sweatshop movement took shape on college campuses that gave rise to United Students Against Sweatshops and the Worker Rights Consortium to investigate and expose abuse and protect worker rights in factories around the globe. The teach-ins gave birth to campus living wage campaigns and to Scholars, Artists and Writers for Worker Justice (SAWSJ), which in turn paved the way for our organization, the Labor and Working Class History Association (LAWCHA), which was founded in 1998. Organizing on campuses also took off following the 1996 teach-ins. The United Auto Workers (UAW) won representation elections for graduate assistants at UCLA, Berkeley and six other University of California campuses in 1999, following a systemwide strike in December 1998. Then, in May 1999, the UAW filed a petition for a representation election for teaching assistants at New York University, inaugurating a long struggle to bring unionization to graduate assistants at private universities, a struggle which continues to the present day.

That period of activism was transformative. Among other things, it helped build the bridges between unions, environmentalists and critics of globalization that led to the ​“Teamsters and Turtles” alliance visible in the protests against the World Trade Organization during the ​“Battle of Seattle” in 1999 and the World Bank protests in Washington, D.C., in 2000. It also laid the groundwork for the AFL-CIO’s dramatic shift on immigration policy in 2000, when it embraced comprehensive immigration reform and began championing the cause of undocumented immigrant workers.

Unfortunately, this hopeful surge of creative, youthful energy was undercut by the events of Dec. 12, 2000 and Sept. 11, 2001, the first being the Supreme Court’s Bush v. Gore decision determining the outcome of the contested presidential election of 2000, and the second being the attacks undertaken by the followers of Osama bin Laden, which opened the door to a ​“War on Terror” that went on to dominate the national agenda for years. Nor would the energy of the late 1990s reemerge in the decade that followed. The housing bubble and financial crash of 2008, the subsequent Great Recession and the period of austerity that followed it created trying times for young people, educational institutions and the labor movement.

Now, however, a new and different moment is taking shape and we are seeing evidence of it on our campuses, in our students and co-workers, and among our community and labor allies. Even in the South, where most public workers lack collective bargaining rights, the United Campus Workers, a movement seeking to organize public university employees — graduate students, undergraduate employees, staff and faculty — in one wall-to-wall union, has been spreading from campus to campus.

This is why our organization, LAWCHA, has decided to promote the Labor Spring teach-ins and actions. We welcome other organizations to join with us in this effort.

Hunter in NRC

Fraena stood beside the masked man, who told her that he is called “Dire Crowley” and is the headmaster of the place she was transported to.

A place called, “Night Raven College”, is a prestigious academy known for training exceptional mages who can perform amazing magical feats.

Magic. Such a fantasy that only exists in novels, there is no magic in her world.

Unless you count the Elder Dragons but they’re classified with the ability to control the elements which could count as magic or sorts.

But apart from that, most of the “magic” monsters can do is biologically explainable.

She’ll have to get used to the new norm though, seeing as how she has no way of getting back to her original world yet. During the time she is here, Fraena is appointed as a teacher’s assistant in the meantime.

So, here she is now, standing before the other staff that Crowley is eagerly introducing her to.

Crowley introduces them to her as she is introduced to them. His golden clawed finger points to one of them as he starts off.

"The old gentleman with the feline is Mozus Trein and his familiar, Lucius."

The older gentleman that held such a strict expression while he held his cat, he's the professor who is in charge of magic history.

The cat was close to a palico but there was a clear difference, it wasn’t bipedal nor does it even talk.

Trein nods to Fraena politely but she noticed that his gaze was kept on Meowdame the majority of the introduction.

Seems like he’s quite fond of cats… or maybe this was his first time seeing a walking cat.

Lucius seems to like Meowdame considering they’re both felines but Draken is definitely not on his good side when the cat hissed at the Palamute.

"This fashionable man with the fur coat is Divus Crewel"

The gentleman with the monochrome hair and the large fur coat was the alchemy professor who has an odd gleam in his eyes when he kept his gaze glued to Draken.

She can tell, this man was a dog person in contrast to the older gentleman.

"Then the muscular fellow here is Ashton Vargas"

The muscular man with the red tracksuit was the PE coach. He has a huge grin when he looks at her form carrying such a mighty weapon on her back and not even showing any signs of difficulty.

He reminds her almost of Elder Fugen in regards to their muscles, he would’ve been a perfect copy if he weren’t so… short.

"Last but not least, the school's shopkeep, Sam!"

Then lastly was the school’s shopkeeper, he gives her a friendly wave. He was a dark-skinned fellow with a skeletal tattoo that no doubt, covered his entire body. It reminds her of Chief Gara and his tattoos.

She awkwardly waves back, though there was something that made her nervous about him though.

She swore his shadow just moved right now too…

“As you have all been briefed on our newest recruit. I hope we all can work together as a family!”

Crowley beams at them, Divus scoffs. Obviously unconvinced with this “gracious” attitude.

“Family doesn’t give you the authority to ditch your work on the newbie, Crowley. This is why no one applies to be your secretary, you know! And you had to drag this young lady into your schemes too… just because you wanted free labor”

Divus shakes his head in disappointment as the others hum in agreement. Crowley huffs at them like a schoolgirl, miffed at how they brushed off his attempts to make it a welcoming environment.

It seems like this headmaster was the type of guy to not bother with trivial things. Fraena knows that if he pulls something like this in the guild, he’d be fined heavily.

But she doesn’t have a choice since it’s either this or the streets of unknown land with unknown laws. She’ll figure out how to survive a school with a lax headmaster.

Stepping forward she takes a formal bow, the magical pin (graciously provided to her by Crowley) that would help her communicate with them dangled on the left side of her armor.

“It’s nice to meet you all, I am Fraena… I work as a hunter where I’m from, along with my Palamute, Draken, he assists me on my hunts. This felyne here is Meowdame, she has experience as a cook and medic.”

She felt awkward having to stand there in silence as the staff stared at her and her companions. Until a large hand gave her a friendly smack on the shoulder, Vargas lets out a bellowing laugh.

“A fellow hunter? That’s something I can get behind, though your weapon is kind of overkill for hunting a couple of bears or moose though. What kind of beasts are you hunting to use this bad boy?”

He looks at her intricately built gunlance with curiosity. It was big and bulky, but it certainly looked like it could dish out a good amount of damage.

Not to mention, most of the parts seem to be made from the scales of some creature. The others are quite interested to know too.

Without hesitation, Fraena gave her own explanation since the others were already told of her situation by Crowley and she found no reason to cover up her identity.

But the moment she provided an answer, they froze.

“We hunt monsters, more specifically wyverns of different classifications… on occasion an elder dragon if it was an emergency.”

She demonstrates by unsheathing her weapon, she unloads her gunlance for safety as she draws their attention to her weapon.

“In order to defend ourselves, we forge armor and weapons from the monsters we are permitted to slay in order to hunt down stronger monsters more efficiently.”

The men in the room looked at her as if she had just grown two heads.

The silence was broken by the headmaster with a shaky voice, his mask would’ve flown off his face if it were possible.

“Monsters?! What kind of world do you live in-“, Crowley was about to ramble on but he choked on his spit.

Meowdame decided to explain further.

“Well, where we’re from. Meownsters larger than mew-mans are everywhere and can go on a rampage or wander too close to a settle-mew-nt. Hunters like dearie here, are sent by the guild to fight them off~! She’s quite capable, I can vouch fur that”

Meowdame explained in summary but that just seemed to make the headmaster spiral into a flustered state.

He dramatically collapses on a conveniently placed chaise lounge to wipe his sweat with a handkerchief.

The others just roll their eyes at his overdramatic act. Trein spoke next, seemingly intrigued but also slightly disturbed.

“To think that a world full of fearsome monsters live everywhere… So, your hunters can use weapons and a form of magic to combat them then?” Trein asked, though there was a slight nervous pitch in his voice.

He was partially right, except for the magic part that is. Fraena corrected his assumption on this.

“We do have a wide array of weapons to fight with, but this magic you speak of… I’m afraid our world doesn’t have it at all. We rely solely on our weapons, our wits and many other inventions made for combat.”

If the men weren’t pale before, they’re sure as hell paler than a Khezu now.

Crowley was close to having a heart attack after hearing that.

everyone but Vargas was absolutely bright-eyed as he pictured himself wielding a huge weapon while standing on top of a pile of defeated monsters.

Fraena was starting to regret telling them everything when Vargas full-on shakes her hands excitedly while spouting how her world is totally crazy yet such a paradise for a hunter such as himself.

Moments later, Crowley managed to steel himself and regain his composure.

“Ahem, my word… That’s quite the world you live in! A world without magic, yet you need to combat beasts… goodness gracious! But no time for this! We’ll have time for questions later, we need to get to work, chop, chop!”

Despite his best efforts to get them to move on, the wavering tone in his voice and his shaky legs say otherwise.

He is quite disturbed after imagining a mini-version of himself in a world with beasts and NO magic to fend for himself.

Oh, how easy fodder he would be! Fraena thought to herself.

Draken huffs quietly, already judging how weak that man was and he’d definitely be eaten alive by the lowest class monsters. What a disgrace he’d be.

As soon as the other staff apart from Divus filed out of the office, the alchemy professor’s grey eyes locked with Fraena’s and he motions her to follow him.

“First things first, we need to get you the proper attire if you are to work in this place. Come along!”

With a crack of his teaching stick, the two head out of the office and off to the clinic.

The dark hallways feel out of place for the otherworldly guests, nothing was familiar anymore.

Hopefully, they can adjust to this new world…

Weak Hero: Eps 261- 262 Reaction

SPOILERS ALERT

"Everyone is a cannibal as they suck each other’s blood. The people who walk take advantage of the people who crawl, selling their limbs away. What kind of mask should I wear to this degraded masquerade?" - 'NOCTURNE (TABLO'S WORD)' - Epik High

We continue with Baekjin (Donald)'s journey towards the inferno the formation of the Union. It all started after he dropped out of school and gathered other kids to make money by doing some "dirty works" for rotten businessmen. Half of these kids were dropouts, the other half were not.

In the underworld of crimes, reputation and rumors might turn one into a legend, and so this scrawny kid made his name....

...by destroying premises. By breaking and entering. By stealing stuff. By beating people up, including his stepfather and his former homeroom teacher (the latter got a special treatment by having his engagement ruined and being beaten to a pulp).

(And Seungjin (Myles) was there from the start. No wonder he was so tainted by the blood and dirty money).

Baekjin then thought of going back to school because he needed it for bureaucratic, sentimental, and strategic reasons (having "student" listed on his papers is better than having "dropout runaway" on them, plus the possibilities of branching out, and fulfilling his late mom's last wish).

He soon met the dejected, sheltered model student Seokhyeon (Kingsley).

Or rather, it was Seokhyeon who saw Baekjin studying alone in the Yeoil High Library, as a new student who transferred in the 2nd semester under "special circumstances", as stated by their principal (we all know that he blackmailed that old cheater).

Soon Baekjin was bullied by senior year rich kids, and these kids too were succesfully suppressed, enough to made Seokhyeon wondered about this new kid. Was Baekjin that smart, finishing all entrance exams properly as was told? But yes, he was more than smart.

Baekjin surprised Seokhyeon by reminding him that yes, they had in fact met briefly 3 years ago. Baekjin was that scholarship student whose case made it to the papers. Soon, as Baekjin explained that Seokhyeon's utopian worldview was nonsense and that the real world and real numbers (money) were out there, Seokhyeon was persuaded that Baekjin could fulfill his ideals of a perfect world. Boy this sounds like a cult recruitment.

Soon, they started the founding of the Union, with Baekjin, Seungjin and the others as the brawns and Seokhyeon assisting Baekjin with the strategies, all the time while being apprehensive about the blood that was spilled.

A year had since passed...

[proveagain]

Okay but can you please elaborate on Miguel as a teacher? Like what is his teaching style like? Did/does teaching others come naturally to him?

oh, you BET i can! this is definitely gonna be more of a ramble than i'd planned because i'm excited. <33

i think even before the events of the show, miguel seems like the kind of kid that would help his friends with schoolwork if he understood it. he's very good with a handful of subjects, but i don't think he would have opened it up to people he wasn't close with. he's been very vocal through the seasons about getting picked on and bullied at every school he'd been to pre-s1, and showing off his smarts to everyone was a one-way ticket to another target on his back.

but that mindset definitely changes once he gains more confidence in his abilities. one of my favorite things to note about miguel's growth through the seasons is how he turns from a student to practically an assistant sensei as cobra kai picks up off the ground and gains more traction. from the very beginning of the show, he's trying to recruit eli and demetri because he wants his friends to be able to feel the strength that he's found with johnny's help. on his "not-date" with sam, miguel offers to teach her a couple basic moves because he's proud of what he learned. he, eli, and aisha are seen leading warm ups multiple times.

i bring it up all the time, but my favorite clip when talking abt miguel as a teacher is in the sparring fight on tory's first day at ck. he starts giving her tips and pointers about her stance or the way she's telegraphing her next moves AS he's fighting her. he takes a step back and speaks without a second of hesitation, like he's focusing more on helping her out than trying to beat her. from that line delivery alone, you can tell this probably happens with almost every other ck student he spars with.

he's also the one seen talking to and welcoming the new students that show up after ck's win at the avt, as well as adult visitors that show up (kreese before he gets introduced). that same energy translates into eagle fang even while he's going through his recovery arc. even though he's still building up strength, johnny has him sit out from the physicality of training whilst still utilizing miguel's teaching skills to get the rest of the dojo up to speed for the second all-valley. there aren't a lot of scenes with him helping eagle fang students the way he did with cobra kai, but i like to think that a lot of that happens off screen!! (they can pry the devon's first mentor hc's out of my cold dead hands)

If cammie went to college, what do you think the other girls (Anna, Tina, Mick etc) as well as Zach and Preston did after graduation?

OH BOY :DDDDDD!!!

this one is a long one good lord

Anna Fetterman

went into the field but for her civilian disguise, she's training to be a pilot.

She actually had to go through said training to keep up the disguise.

She does undercover work and honestly it's quite scary to realize Anna could've been on the same mission as some of her friends or coworkers as silent backup and they might not always spot her.

Married Carl (her boyfriend from book 1) and has two amazing daughters now

can and will surprise visit her friends just to keep them on their toes (she and Macey do coffee dates where they try out new cafes and chat)

Eva Alvarez

worked in the field for a few years in the FBI but after Kim Lee got seriously injured she left quickly

currently works a simple 9-5 office job and helps out in her community because even without being a super spy she can still help change the world

Kim Lee

did go to a community college to get an associate's degree in engineering and later continued to pursue a higher education in that field

even after her injury, Kim stayed in the field but soon moved into lab work making gadgetry and usually explosive prototypes. She did accidentally microwave one prototype and Eva put her on bed rest until she could correctly count the number of fingers Eva was holding up

Mick Morrison

went to college with Tina Walters as they had planned a long time ago

Got a degree in kinesiology and tried working in the field for a few years but she could never feel like it was really her place

When an opening for a new P&E assistant coach opened up Mick gave it a shot and found she really loved teaching

Sits beside Liz at the teachers table in the Grand Hall and they share gossip about their students

Courtney Bauer

worked for the CIA for quite some time. Stayed in the field as she found it was the place and path for her. Her civilian disguise was at first just a fresh out of high school young adult traveling the world to find herself. Now she's in a 'complicated business' that requires her to go overseas a lot but she fights tooth and nail to make it home for the holidays, big events, etc

she's usually late or the last to arrive and no one lets her live it down

(she was at least early to the reunion)

She, Eva, and Tina stayed close

those three idiots could never just fall apart even if they sometimes go weeks with zero communication

Tina W Walters

took some time after the fire to heal and breathe

went to college alongside Mick Morrison. Worked damn hard for that journalism degree and while she technically fulfilled her legacy as a third-generation gossip columnist, she's got a lot going on behind the scenes.

Worked for a short time in the field for the CIA like the rest of the Walters Women of the past

Changed to being a recruiter after mending her relationship with her mom and has nearly doubled the class count with how many girls she's adopted recruited

unknowingly became the next Buckingham for most of these girls and ya know Rachel it would've been nice to, you know, TELL HER SHE WAS ON THE DAMN PAYROLL

99.99% of her gossip papers are all about Macey, it's so damn funny

Macey helps by the way, they bond over it

there is an infamous page 10 Tina wrote one day that was more of a petty revenge thing than a 'lol taking shit about Macey for my job' thing

The much anticipated Preston freaking Winters

I'm not honestly sure

He spent a lot of time with his mom for sure, she didn't know anything after all and she just lost her husband. He wasn't going to let her lose her son too

did a lot of soul-searching but I'm not sure how much he stayed in politics. He might've honesty just stayed to keep in the loop about anything nefarious and found a way to contact his favorite girls

probably had to go underground with his mom for a while as the Circle scrambled after their leaders were gone (he is an heir technically)

I'd like to think he and Macey still talked but they didn't date for quite some time. They both needed to heal but they were there for each other. Who else could possibly understand them better than the other?

Zach Goode

from what I personally think along with the timeline of the books I do believe Zach went straight into the field while Cam did halfsies with school and work

did a lot of leg work with Bex since she also went straight into the field and while they were technically working for different agencies they're still a goofy little duo that know each other well enough to figure out where on earth they might be off to

attended some of Cammie's classes with her sometimes, mostly when he had downtime and wanted to just be with her or even take notes for her when she wasn't feeling too good

i refuse with all of my ass to believe he waited ten years to propose (sorry y'all but have you SEEN HIM)

if you guys wanna hear about any OCs do let me know because I will totally talk about the Background Girlstm

Looking for a job in today’s politicized job market?

Prepare to submit a résumé, cover letter, references — and a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Statement: A page-long explanation of how you intend to bring those three seemingly benign principles into the workplace.

DEI statements have become standard practice in academia, but a tide might be turning: UNC and UMass Boston recently un-required mandatory DEI statements for student admission, employee recruitment and faculty promotion. 

Here’s hoping this sets an industry precedent — a step towards reining in DEI in every sector. 

When I taught at Penn State Abington from 2018-2022 as an English professor, their obsession with DEI created a hostile work environment teeming with discrimination.

Case in point: writing faculty were subjected to a video called “White Teachers are a Problem.”

After making my opposition known, I was retaliated against.

My perceived insubordination was branded on Affirmative Action Office notices, and I was sanctioned by HR as well as on my annual performance review. 

Penn State’s stance was clear: Blind loyalty is required by the DEI machine. 

The premier job board across academia, HigherEdJobs, shows how deeply entrenched compulsory left-think has become.

Whether you want to teach French at SUNY Oswego, Dance at Chapman, Soil Science and Nutrient Management at Colorado State, or Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at Syracuse, your prospective employer will expect a DEI statement, so prepare to bend the knee. 

Even if you aspire to become the Beef Center Assistant Manager at Washington State University: Yep: DEI statement.

And these are just a few random examples posted since Thanksgiving.

It’s an epidemic. 

Make no mistake, the DEI machine has always been about toeing an ideological line — never any meaningful change.

Consider the case of Dr. Tabia Lee — a former faculty member of De Anza Community College in California.

While facilitating a “Decentering Whiteness” event featuring a BLM co-founder, Lee (who’s Black) made waves by allowing students to ask unscripted follow-up questions. For doing so, her tenure was sabotaged.

Despite being “diverse,” it turns out that Lee’s actual diversity didn’t gel with De Anza’s agenda.

A commitment to actual diversity requires respecting diverse viewpoints.

But wrong-think isn’t tolerated by the DEI Industrial Complex. 

Fortunately, federal law has something to say about that: neither De Anza nor Penn State has the authority to suppress Dr. Lee or my speech, nor can they discriminate on the basis of race.

That’s why she and I — supported by the nonpartisan group, the Foundation Against Intolerance & Racism — are bringing lawsuits against our former employers. 

Pull back this sacred academic curtain, and see the emperor’s new clothes for yourself.

In 2021, Pennsylvanian’s taxes and students’ tuition went towards workshops on microaggressions, intersectional feminism, anti-racism, and white privilege led by the Penn State Abington DEI grifters.

Its leader’s Juneteenth email directed white faculty and staff to “stop talking,” “find an accountability partner,” and “stop being afraid of your own internalized white supremacy.” 

Such DEI efforts ooze with divisiveness, so yes, DEI statements are clearly a form of compelled speech, and thus, a violation of First Amendment free speech protections.

[ Dr. Tabia Lee says her tenure-track position at De Anza College in California was derailed after she failed to conform to DEI orthodoxy. ]

What’s worse, though, is the type of educational environment that DEI-ified initiatives create for students — and the culprit is the “E”: Equity. 

Here’s how “equity” played out in the misguided minds of my DEI-obsessed former colleagues. A former supervisor, who endorsed the view that “reverse racism isn’t racism,” also announced that “racist structures” exist “regardless of [anybody’s] good intentions” and that “racism is in the results if the results draw a color line.”

The apparent guiding subtext here: students should be graded on the basis of race so all achieve similar outcomes.

Suppose you deflated the grades of Asian-Americans — a group that often disproportionately excels — much like Harvard deflated their acceptance rates until the Supreme Court put a stop to race-based admissions.

That’s somehow acceptable in the name of “equity?” Of course not, but disagree with enforced equity in education and in the eyes of antiracist activists, that makes you – you guessed it — a “racist.” 

Alternatively, performative equity could be achieved by inflating everybody’s grades — straight A’s all around! 

Harvard’s almost there: in 2020-2021, 80% of all grades were A’s, according to an October article in the Harvard Crimson. 

The road to equity is paved by the soft bigotry of low expectations.

And in a world where grit, labor, and integrity win the day, academia’s obsession with “equity” breeds a “survival of the weakest” mindset. 

Nevertheless, the DEI machine continues to reign supreme.

Over a five-year span, Ohio State’s DEI annual budget bloated to $20 million with nearly 200 DEI bureaucrats who cite the leftist scripture of Ibram X. Kendi and Robin DiAngelo.

But before we can enter their church, us natural-born sinners must repent by issuing performative DEI statements?

Yeah. No thanks.

Paradoxically, the more elite institutions obnoxiously virtue-signal their allegiance to DEI, the less committed they are to actual diversity and inclusion — and the more they obscure actual equality in the process. 

These institutions aren’t hiding what they’re doing.

Even in the throes of my lawsuit, Penn State Abington has doubled down on DEI: there’s now a sister office — the Office of Inclusive Excellence — complete with its own cabinet-level director. 

Folks: this isn’t going away unless you take action.

Here’s a start: if you’re ever asked to submit a DEI statement, don’t bend the knee to their “E” — Equity.

Reframe their game, and tell them how and why you stand up for the honorable “E”: Equality.

Name: Lucy Bell Age: 30 Town Occupation: Teacher Previous Occupation: Scientist Redwood Resident Length: Newly Arrived Faceclaim: Maika Monroe

Bullet Points:

Lucy was on course to earn her Bachelor of Science in Biomedical Engineering, specifically angling for the Neural Engineering Track.

She never lost her snarky personality. Originally a defense mechanism, it eventually simply became a part of her personality. It didn't endear her to superiors at Dielectric, alas.

Has several flash tattoos - few have any personal meaning.

Before you ask - yes her mom named her Lucy as a Beatles homage. Yes, Lucy finds it tacky. Yes she knows it's close to Lucille Ball, too.

She doesn't like talking about how she lost a finger on her left hand.

Biography:

Lucy was born to a mom in recovery, and never knew her father. She grew up mostly raised by maternal grandparents while her mother went through several rounds of rehab. Lucy, meanwhile, became a driven, intelligent young woman - with a real sarcastic wit. She excelled in soccer, but ended up needing a financial assistance scholarship for college.

She was indignant at needing financial assistance, being teased by classmates for her financial struggle, and eschewed parties to hold down a job around classes. By 2037 Lucy was in her last year of a bachelors program at John Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland.

Already having been approached by prestigious biomedical firms, Lucy was starting to feel she'd outrun her crappy circumstance of birth. Around the same time news of a new outbreak was starting one of the firms swooped in and recruited every student on the same track. Promised them the chance to change the world in their lifetime, to save mankind. That they were all needed.

Dielectric was their home for several years as the world shut down. Compartmentalized, kept ignorant of the goings on outside; told it was for the best if they weren't distracted by the outside world.

Small teams worked on different pieces of a greater whole, brainstorming, hypothesizing, testing, making odd supply requests from the men upstairs...

Until supplies stopped showing up.

An intellectual powerhouse, the cell found solutions to problems as they came. Predicted likely future issues and took what preventative measures they could. But eventually, the walls would be permeated.

What researchers survived that inevitable breach fled; they weren't built for brute force fighting. Lucy was never more grateful that she'd been at least kind of a jock in high school, able to outrun bigger, heavier predators.

A year of another kind of learn-by-doing, and Lucy fell ass-over-teakettle into Redwood. Specifically by setting off a hunting trap.

Thousands of student nurses, midwives, and teachers are leaving their courses or ditching training altogether because the government’s free childcare scheme does not extend to them, The Independent has been told.

Campaigners are warning that a growing crisis affecting the education and healthcare sectors is being made worse by students’ inability to access free childcare – forcing them to leave the sector and find work elsewhere.

The warning comes as worrying Ucas data published this week showed that applications for UK nursing degree courses were down for the third year running. Just 31,100 people applied for a course for 2024, down from 33,570 last year, 41,220 in 2022 and 46,040 in 2021.

NHS cuts, heavy workloads, and a collective sense of being undervalued have already sparked an exodus of UK-trained nurses from the NHS, with 42,000 empty vacancies in England alone.

Because of this, several prominent campaign groups, including Mumsnet and Save the Children, are demanding Chancellor Jeremy Hunt extend the government’s free childcare scheme to all parents in training.

Mr Hunt initially unveiled the major extension to free childcare for parents in the spring of last year to win back voters, with working parents who have children under five told they can claim 30 hours of free childcare for 38 weeks per year from September 2025. But Mr Hunt’s 30-hour childcare offer only covers parents who are in paid work. 

Trainee teachers, nurses and midwives often work full time, meaning they will need childcare, but do not qualify because they are technically studying.

Some 190,214 students are currently training to be nurses, teachers and midwives in England, according to the latest data.

The Independent has revealed there are major problems with funding, staff shortages and nursery closures. The new scheme comes after ministers rolled out 30 hours of free childcare per week in term time for three and four-year-olds in England in 2017.

Josie Irwin, head of equality at Unison, the UK’s largest trade union, said they are witnessing student nurses and social workers dropping out of their training due to not being eligible for the government’s free childcare. 

She said “a bubbling cauldron of problems” engulfing the NHS and caring professions is being compounded by the lack of childcare.

“It goes hand in glove with the recruitment and retention issues which are running across the caring professions, such as nursing, healthcare assistance, paramedics, social workers, midwives and teaching assistants,” Ms Irwin added.

“Women ending up in really precarious zero-hours employment is represented by politicians as a choice but it is not. They don’t have any other option in doing really difficult, demanding, underpaid, undervalued challenging shifts.”

Exclusive data, shared with The Independent, found around four in 10 student nurses and paramedics say problems securing childcare mean they are contemplating dropping out of their course.

Researchers, who polled 600 student nurses and paramedics, also found around seven in 10 report being heavily dependent on family and friends to help them with childcare.

Christine Farquharson, associate director of the Institute for Fiscal Studies, also warned that such families cannot access other childcare help programmes such as tax-free childcare or subsidies through universal credit. 

A midwife, who didn’t want to be named fearing reprisals from management, said: “It is not unusual for there to be more student midwives than trained midwives and sometimes student midwives are being thrown in the deep end and plugging the gap of the midwifery shortage. 

“This can be dangerous for patient safety. Student midwives are worth their weight in gold – the service would completely crumble if we didn’t have their support.”

Daisy*, who has two young children, said she was forced to drop out of her nursing course for two years due to struggles to access childcare – assuming she would not be able to return.

The 31-year-old, who lives in Nottinghamshire, explained she was previously running a digital marketing company but chose to take a hefty pay cut and retrain to be a nurse due to feeling unfulfilled and wanting to give back.

She is resuming her course this month but will not be able to claim the government’s free childcare provision that begins in September, or the free hours she is currently claiming for her other child, unless she continues doing her current paid work, she explained.

“I work nights to save money on childcare. I look after a child with complex needs. I do 24 hours of care work through the night a week,” Daisy added.

“If I were to go back onto the course and drop my paid hours so I can properly focus on the course, we would lose access to the free childcare. Many weeks I don’t sleep at all after my shift. I have an out-of-body experience most weeks – I just float.”

“It has negatively impacted my mental health – terribly so,” she added. “It is affecting my sleep and causing me a lot of anxiety. I think about it all the time. I feel trapped. I feel like everything is against me wanting to be a nurse.”

The latest data shows there is a shortage of 42,306 nurses and 2,500 midwives in the NHS in England, and a deficit of 2,300 teachers. 

Sarah Ronan, director of the Early Education and Childcare Coalition, explained her member organisations frequently hear from people, mainly women, who are doing vocational training that involves on-the-job placements being forced to drop out due to the cost of childcare.

Ms Ronan said the childcare sector is already grappling with “unprecedented demand” – warning the government must only roll out free childcare provision for students in a way that does not “overwhelm the sector”. 

She added: “Often people come to these professions later in life. In those situations, they may already have children and therefore they are being penalised due to not being given adequate support to retrain. There are also recruitment campaigns by the government that target people as career changers to come into these professions.”

The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) found the UK had one of the most expensive childcare systems in the world.

“Understandably, trainee midwives, teachers and nurses are furious they cannot access these new schemes,” Joeli Brearley, chief executive and founder of campaign group Pregnant Then Screwed, said. 

“Mothers in training have contacted us to express their concern as to how this exclusion undervalues the work they do and has made them reconsider whether training is right for them.”

A spokesperson for the Department for Education said: “Students who are parents already receive a grant paying 85 per cent of childcare costs across the full year including holidays, up to a weekly limit, and student nurses with children receive an additional NHS grant of £7,000 per academic year.

“On top of this, nurses have received a 5 per cent pay rise for 2023/24 and two significant one-off awards worth over £2,000 on average."

Dr Nichola Ashby, deputy chief nurse at the Royal College of Nursing, warned grants available for nurses “don’t come close” to paying for childcare.
