He's losing it or he's feigning insanity.

My vote is on the second.

“MORRISON GIVEN TWELVE YEARS FOR AXE ATTACK,” Toronto Star. January 31, 1933. Page 1 & 2.  --- Sentence for Attempted Murder Concurrent With 10 Years for Thefts ---- SCORED BY JUDGE ---- Only a Miracle Saved Him From Murder Charge, Accused Is Told ---- Mr. Justice Jeffrey in assizes today sentenced Walter G. Morrison, 37, to 12 years in Portsmouth penitentiary for the attempted murder last Aug. 19 of Mrs. Dorothy Bradbury, East York. 

His lordship made the term concurrent with one of 12 years already imposed for more than 50 charges of housebreaking and theft. 

The prisoner heard a scathing denunciation and the added term unflinchingly.

"It is only a miracle," said Mr. Justice Jeffrey, "that you were not before this court on the charge of murder. I can find no excuse whatever for your conduct." 

His lordship noted that Morrison's wielding of the axe and maiming of Mrs. Bradbury was just one of a I series of acts. "It appalls me," he went on. "You have pleaded guilty before this present case and received a term in the penitentiary for more than 50 robberies which you carried out systematically." Holds Insanity Feigned Mr. Justice Jeffrey said he was quite satisfied Morrison was sane at the time of the act, though there was no doubt he had deteriorated mentally through drink. His lordship agreed with alienists that accused was malingering and "feigning insanity" for the purpose of escaping. 

"It is a miracle the woman ever recovered. You left a mark on her for life. She will never be the same again. She is just a wreck of what you described once was a good-looking woman." His lordship thought the prisoner could never forget what he had done that night in striking a sleeping woman over the head with an axe. 

Stole To Buy Liquor Justice Jeffrey told Morrison he had been working by day and stealing by night for the purpose of obtaining money for liquor. While accused had suffered mentally through his habits, it was no justification for holding he was not responsible for his attack upon Mrs. Bradbury. 

The ten years imposed for housebreaking was not, his lordship said, too severe under the circumstances. Under the twelve-year term added to-day it meant Morrison would spend an additional two years in prison. 

Morrison is a war veteran and father of five children.

[AL: Morrison was convict #2947 at Kingston Penitentiary, but was transferred to Collin’s Bay Penitentiary August 1935 and released from there in 1940 by parole.]

Every time someone shows up in the moomin tag saying "why does moomins have a fandom now ew" i feel like the bugs underneath a rock when you lift it up. Hate to tell you this, bud, but the bugs are there whether you lift the rock or not

thinking ab brat tamer!jason making reader count how many times he’s spanked them and he’s cooing, feigning forgiveness before he shoves his fingers in them, not allowing them to cum the whole night😋

ufghhh yes <3

-

he forces you to count them out even when your voice splinters and shakes. its almost pathetic really when he hears you start to whimper and cry after the seventh smack, hands coming back to feebly block his next hit. he has to clench his jaw to stop the smirk from pulling at his mouth when you mis-count, words jamming up behind you teeth. “oh little bird, let’s start from the beginning again, huh?” your answering pleas almost make it worth putting up with your behaviour.

the really worthwhile part for him is driving you up to the edge and leaving you there, dangling at the precipice of something euphoric just to wait for you to slip back from the brink. only to get you back there again, suspended, aching. he strokes your hair and smooths his thumb over your wet cheeks as you beg to finally, finally come.

and he lets you believe he’ll let you come, “okay sweetheart, you’ve done so well for me and I forgive you for being such an ungrateful brat. you can come.”

but he stops touching you. right when you shudder to the tips of your toes. right when you blink away your tears and thank him so prettily. he just stops and pushes two fingers into you, so tight and wet and desperate.

the noise you make nearly kills him.

“you’re so stupid baby.” he says and crooks his fingers inside you, just to listen to you cry out his name. “only good girls get to come. and I don’t think you’re quite there yet.”

do you think the mess in oshiros hotel is meant to signify that hes been letting his problems pile up until its become too overwhelming to handle.

im thinking about the fact that he's definitely the one who's been making the mess but he doesn't even realize it. he ignores the clutter until it becomes too hard to ignore you know? like when it starts actively blocking the way to the presidential suite. he insists that he and his staff will handle it and that madeline shouldn't clean up his own mess, but he still doesn't do anything about it. does he know that the staff is gone? that it's just him there?

mr oshiro is so hell bent on impressing madeline so that she'll stay in his hotel. he's so in denial of everything. he doesn't even realize he's dead, he still thinks his hotel never got shut down. I think his insistence on her staying is bc he really wants to believe that the hotel is open, and a costumer would affirm that belief. it could also maybe be a mixture of loneliness too. (also, him treating her as a costumer even after she says no is absolutely him being in denial. that man is very unhealthily attached to this hotel,)

and even though it was nice of madeline to clean it up, there's still parts of the hotel she can't fix. the plumbing. the windows. the, hole in the ceiling (oops.) she's not qualified to help him, and that's why I think the chapter ends on a bit of a sour note. madeline is of course not a bad person for wanting to help, the point is that she can't. it is unfortunate but true

anyways mr oshiro is a very good character i like him a regular amount. im normal about that old man

“ROGERS WILL BE EXAMINED,” Daily British Whig. February 19, 1921. Page 1. ---- Board to Decide If This Penitentiary Convict Is Sane. --- Leo Rogers, the Portsmouth penitentiary prisoner, charged with assault upon Detective W. Duncan, but whose case was set over to the June session of the high court, will be examined by a board of alienists from Rockwood hospital on Monday next. If Rogers is pronounced Insane, he will be removed from the penitentiary to the criminal insane asylum at Hamilton. There were features in Rogers' conduct since his incarceration at Portsmouth that point strongly to paranoia, and under the circumstances his true condition should be determined by psychiatrists. Dr. Edward Ryan will, in all probability, be a member of the board.

When an especially tasty morsel walks into your office...

♡ Some Sinner Corwin//Doc Overlord Stuff ♡

[[ TW: Written Gore and Horror involving Teeth and Fungi ]]

When a person runs out of teeth to give Corwin in exchange for favours, if they refuse to give away their jaw, or if they ask for favours exceeding any price they might be able to cover... Corwin will, in time, claim their body and soul for himself. Since you'd already be all out of teeth, the good doctor will happily take out his own extra teeth and put them into your mouth to give you a brand new smile. However the teeth of the tooth demon will sprout roots into your gums, burrowing themselves in and quickly taking over your body, all while sprouting the same pretty fungi in your hair that adorn the doctor as well.

From that point on, you will be... elated. Always laughing and giggling just like your new master! You will be Beautiful, you'll feel Fulfilled and Happy, and you'll be Obedient, because you'll be high every single day of your life... all while the fungi is piloting your body.

Now, let's help some more sinners!

i've been a manager at my job for almost a year now and i've dealt with dozens of pissed off customers and been confronted countless times and i feel like i handle most interactions as well as i can given the circumstances but one thing that still sticks with me is these people a few months ago. it was two parents with their like 4 year old kid and their server gave them two regular menus and a kids menu to order from. if your kid orders an entree from the kids menu they can get a scoop of ice cream for 99¢ but they Must get the entree to get the 99 cent scoop, otherwise the scoop is reg price. now personally ill often just charge the 99 cents even if they didn't get the kids entree, especially if we've already sold a lot of food to them, bcuz im not a cop, but the 16 year old server charged a reg price scoop for the little kid because the ice cream was literally all she got and that's what he was trained to do and it's The Rules so like he did everything he was supposed to. MIND YOU the kids menu CLEARLY says at the very top that the single scoop dessert is 99 cents ONLY WITH purchase of entree. okay. its not a secret its right there its there for you to read. okay. well the server comes to me and says hey my table is really upset about their bill and they want to talk to you. i go over and these people are IRATE they're like WHY IS HER SCOOP OF ICE CREAM 3.99 and their table is pre-bussed so there are no context clues about what food was eaten so im like, did she get a meal? and they say no she did not get a meal she just got the KIDS SCOOP OF ICE CREAM. and im like ok. back up. there is no "kids scoop of ice cream" there is a scoop of ice cream that children can get for 99 cents if they also order a kids entree. woman says WELL OUR SERVER DIDNT TELL US THAT. i'm like Well Im Sorry but servers aren't trained to tell you how much shit costs because we expect our customers to be able to readdddd the menu. i didn't say that obviously but i pointed at the kids menu on their table that THEY ordered from and was like Well Ma'am the menu explains the pricing of ice cream right here at the top. she goes WELL we didn't read that. can you take the ice cream off our bill?? and i kinda just look at her and im like. did your kid eat the ice cream? and she says Yeah. and i'm like then obviously no i cannot tske it off your bill. she freaks the fuck out and her husband is like pointing his finger in my face and shit and then when that's all said and done they pay and write some dumbass comment on their signed receipt about how much the shift manager sucks. Guys.
