Stanford never became friends with Fiddleford.

Instead he got himself a different small friend group who cares a lot about him. At least about the Ford he pretended to be in college.

A kind, soft spoken formerly bullied genius who researches very dull stuff in Oregon and definitely not anything weird. Their Ford would never break any rules or ignore safety measures [unlike that other student they heard about during their college years.]

And then Ford stops answering their calls and loses his grant. 

It’s time for an intervention and they start pestering Ford with letters and calls until he finally agrees to meet them at a science convention, but he’ll take his brother with him.

They’re relieved! Ford is with Shermie! They like Shermie! It's a good thing that Ford still has one brother who isn't a good for nothing selfish criminal who destroyed his entire future!

If they ever get their hands on Ford’s evil twin they’ll make sure he’ll regret ever messing with their friend. Ford is too nice for revenge. They aren’t.

Meanwhile at the not-yet Mystery Shack, the Stans freshly survived their own angsty canon divergent tale of two stans AU and locked Bill out of Ford's mind like a week ago.

Stan: I don’t know how long Ford will keep me around but this will be good for him. He needs some friends to take care of him after I inevitably get kicked out again!

Ford: I only agreed to this because Stan insisted and I still haven’t found a way to thank him and apologize. I hope all my “friends” die in a fire.

The thing about testosterone being a controlled substance means that acess to it for hrt is restricted. While it makes access a significant issue for many people and an easy and effective way to prevent trans men and mascs from transitioning (as we've seen terfs campaign for and succeed at doing in Britain) it also means that is very easy for health care professionals to be able to take it away from trans men/mascs arbitrarily. This is most aborant in cases where trans men/mascs are forced to detransition to gain access to abortions after being raped. However, the first sign of an issues tangentially related to hormones a gp, without any training in trans people or hormones, can and will stop a person's testosterone. Apart from how stressful it is to know that for the rest of your life you'll be dependent on the goodwill of a random person, this has measurable negative consequences for a trans person subjected too it.

Going off t fucking sucks at the best of time, but being forced off t will most likely result in depression and worsening mental health for a trans man/masc, who are already one of the most likely groups to attempt suicide. It can also put a trans person at risk if they suddenly start being visibly trans again, especially if they're closeted in, say, a work place environment. Trans people, including trans men, are already one of the most targeted groups of harassment and violence and sexual assalt and forcibly reducing or stopping t can out people and risk their safety. And a gp won't see this or care about this, or attempt to treat a trans man/masc first or ask for their opinion or situation.

Ultimately, testosterone is seen as entirely optional and so the first resort when something goes wrong it to take it away, when it should be considered the last resort, and is considered the last resort for cis men. And as long as testosterone continues to be a controlled substance it will remain like this.

(edit for clarification: I am a kiwi, this post was intended as a general critique of accessing t through health care systems - based in my lived experience in NZ and what ive heard from international trans ppl; including but not limited to the USA)

When you encounter a lava lake while mining, remember ECLAIR:

EVACUATE: Back up to give yourself enough time and distance to respond appropriately. Remember, lava is much slower than you, and is only dangerous if you touch it!

CONTAIN: Place dirt or stone between yourself and the lava to separate it from the rest of the mine. If the lava touched anything flammable, use your Emergency Water Bucket to extinguish the fire. Don't forget to replace any torches that were broken by use of the Emergency Water Bucket.

LEAVE: Exit the tunnel intersecting the lava lake and move on to the next one. Never dig perpendicular to a known source of lava!

APPROACH: Using your existing tunnel pattern as a guideline, carefully dig toward the lava from opposite sides until the boundaries of the lake are adequately mapped.

ILLUMINATE: Make sure the location of the lake is clearly marked and signposted. Duplicate or alter normal logistical signs as necessary to direct foot-traffic around the affected area. (Consult your Employee Handbook for specific signposting guidelines.)

RETURN: Go back to normal mining activities.

much like odysseus i too am on an unexpected, long, and winding journey (digging through tangentially related articles to my research projects), fraught with peril borne of my own ὕβρις (procrastinated until the week before my presentation), and yearning to return home to my wife (teucer) and son (telemachus)

Wrangling the Children onto some fresh leaves. The Cecropia Kids are over 40 days old and still growing, and I’m starting to worry they won’t pupate in before I leave on vacation . Granted, I’m sure everything will be ok but it’s in my nature to worry over multi-legged invertebrate children. I just love larvae.

(Forgive the frass, I cleaned it out shortly after getting all the cats onto fresh food)

Prompt is you want more: Izuku has been missing for 6 years when he finally reappears. He's 14 now, he's been missing since he was 8. He was in Thedas. He was being raised by Morrigan as a son with Keiran.

Let your imagination run.

Izuku Midoriya was an odd child.

That was the general consensus that the faculty had all come to, anyway.

From the six year gap in his file where he had been missing without a trace (“I do not recall,” he would claim with eyes too sharp and a smile full of teeth.) to the odd way he talked — too old for a teenager, too old for anyone really, who still said “T’is” in casual conversation — to the odd quirk of his (magic he called it with a sharp grin. Old forgotten magic.)

Yes Izuku Midoriya was odd.

That oddness was never more obvious than when their class was attacked in the first week of school. While the others froze, terrified as any child would be in the face of a real threat to their lives, Izuku had laughed, already twirling that staff of his and calling down lightning. He didn’t so much as hesitate to throw himself into the fray before Shouta could. Perhaps because Shouta hadn’t moved, he realized, as an electrified cage appeared in the center of the USJ trapping the majority of the villains. He was a whirlwind of flashing lights and the snap of electricity. When the mass of villains got too close, Shouta was there, giving the kid room to breathe. When Shouta himself was surrounded, a green wolf tackled the nearest villain.

When the… thing appeared, Izuku, long since returned to his human form, narrowed his eyes on the massive thing and drew the twin daggers at his sides.

Shouta’s heart stopped somewhere in the impossibly long moment Midoriya hung there in the air with blades at the ready and a scream on his lips. Like a monster that size was nothing to be afraid of. Like the way it had absorbed the lightning blasts Izuku had thrown at it was no cause for concern. Lime they knew just how to take on something that size. It was all Shouta could do, bleeding and injured as he was to keep the leader away from Izuku and the creature. All he could do to keep his aching eyes opened so he wasn’t rendered to dust and the kids left alone.

Izuku plunged both daggers into the thing’s head with a roar and a second later an earsplitting crack filled the room as a bolt of green lightning, channeled and amplified by the metal shoved directly into the creature’s exposed brain, blasted clear through the monster and left a several foot wide crater in the center of the USJ.

Midoriya was unconscious before they hit the ground, a long tongue wrapping around them and yanking them away from the massive bulk of the thing before it could crush them, and Shouta was left facing the enraged leader.

Yes, Midoriya Izuku was odd, and Shouta Aizawa was going to figure out why.
