Is she walking around downtown Salem Center in a sweatshirt that reads “Pumpkin Spice and Mutant Rights”? Maybe... Does she give a flying fuck what people think about that? Not at all. Should she? Yeah, probably...

Tinkerbell from Peter Pan

Name: Tinsley Bell Age: 27 Profession: Barmaid (public), Right-hand woman to Peter Pan Pronouns: she/her FC suggestions: Maddie Phillips, Jessica Madsen, Aimee Lou Wood Face Claim: Madelyn Cline Availability: Taken

TW: alcohol, addiction, drug use

She came from the seedy underbelly of a sprawling city—a place where dreams went to die and ambition was often a curse, born to family of con artists and thieves who taught her that survival came at the expense of others.

Her sharp wit and nimble fingers earned her the nickname "Tinker" among her peers, as she had an uncanny knack for fixing broken things—or breaking into them. the nickname eventually morphed into "tinsley," a softer mask for a hardened soul. Tinsley didn’t believe in magic or happy endings; she believed in getting by, one stolen moment at a time. Tinsley grew up in an environment where escapism was the currency of survival. Her mother was addicted to prescription drugs, her father an alcoholic who disappeared before she could remember his face.

For Tinsley, science had been her escape, but the older she grew, the more she saw how little it could shield her from the harsh realities of life. She became obsessed with the concept of freedom, not the abstract ideal but a tangible, euphoric release from the chains of the real world. As she grew, she slowly worked her way up the societal hierarchy, becoming a brilliant but disillusioned biochemist, her talents cultivated in prestigious labs but squandered in a world that valued connections over genius. After repeated humiliating rejections, Tinsley walked away from academia and back into the shadows, where her brilliance could thrive unfettered by bureaucracy or ethics.

With the emergence of Pixie — Dust, came Tinsley's descent into madness. Intrigued and desperate to understand its origins, Tinsley managed to get her hands on a sample. As she analyzed it, she was captivated by its chemical complexity, a formula that bordered on alchemy.

Tinsley became obsessed, not with using Pixie Dust but with recreating it. She worked tirelessly in her makeshift lab, studying, deconstructing, and perfecting the formula. Her version was more potent, more stable, and even more alluring. But her obsession came at a cost: She began attracting the wrong kind of attention.

Initially, the lost boys only wanted her product, but when Peter saw Tinsley’s intellect and tenacity, he offered her a choice: join them or become another forgotten casualty of the streets. Tinsley, drawn to the group’s camaraderie and Peter’s magnetic charisma, chose to become a Lost Boy, but life with the lost boys was not as blissful as she had once thought: having been let down by pan too many times to count, she's starting to have doubts. Would the grass is greener over at The Crocodiles turf?

Notable character information: Tinsley has been let down by Peter too many times and is wondering if the grass is greener over at the crocodiles turf. How much would it cost her to share enemy secrets?

Burglary of the Soul

Summary: The Leverage crew is extraordinary in many ways, so it shouldn't be surprising that they managed to form a team that included soulmates, something most people never find. Eliot wishes his teammates the best, but wants nothing to do with the whole concept: given his line of work, he really doesn't want to know. Unfortunately, when your soulmate is revealed by something as simple as being able to make direct eye contact, that's more difficult than it sounds... Complete fic (4 chapters) on AO3

Ch. 1: A stolen glance

Eliot balanced a heavy package of imported beer on his hip to fumble for his key and slide it into the lock. He winced as the box shifted, digging its edge into a fresh bruise where a guard's baton had landed a solid hit. One last thing to to grab from HQ, and then he could head home to relax and crack open his long-awaited Slovenian stout.

Behind the door, Hardison's muffled voice vibrated with excitement. Don't set the box down; don't get pulled into conversation, or you'll never get out of here. Hopefully whoever Hardison was currently gushing to would continue to hold his attention and let Eliot slip in and out with little notice.

Instead, Eliot's heart nearly stopped as Parker's shout of “What is wrong with you?” rang through the hallway.

The door slammed open under his shoulder, hard enough to hit the wall and bounce off. Parker and Hardison, alone in the room, whirled towards him. A split-second later, Parker was wrapped around his right arm, shoving him towards Hardison and babbling something about possession and making Hardison be normal again.

Eliot scanned rapidly over a stunned-looking Hardison and his surroundings, looking for the threat. Not physical, surely—even if Hardison would, Parker's speed and wariness were more than enough for her to keep out of reach. Still, he let the box slide down his leg to the floor and kicked it aside, freeing his hands and footing. His brain filed the accompanying clank of glass as a problem for later.

“What the hell did you do, Hardison?” Eliot demanded, glowering.

Hardison's mouth flapped helplessly for a moment. “I don't—We just—” Two fingers waved vaguely around his upper face. “Eyes, you know?”

“He's being weird,” said Parker, still huddled halfway behind Eliot's shoulder with her arms wrapped around herself. “He was normal until a few minutes ago, and then we looked right at each other when he was telling me about his game, and now he won't stop.”

Eliot glanced from one to the other, slowly, fitting the garbled explanations together in the only way that made sense. Eye contact.

His teammates were also soulmates.

“Knock it off, Hardison,” Eliot snapped, with more venom than he'd intended, his own eyes skittering down the line of Hardison's jaw to focus on the corner of his mouth. “'Soulmates' or not, there's no call to be staring people in the eyes when they don't like it.”

Eliot had avoided even the possibility of eye contact with anyone since he was in high school. (Not that he'd been trying to lock eyes with people before that, but, well, he and Aimee tried once, back when they were young and naive and thought maybe they were meant to be. They weren't.) In his recent lines of work, whether you really believed in soulmates or not, it was better not to know. All well and good for people who were into that sort of thing, but for a hitter, there was just no way for that to end well.

Eliot didn't need to look at Hardison's eyes, not even obliquely, to see the expression of absolute horror settle across his features before belatedly averting his gaze from Parker's face. “Parker, I am so, so sorry! I was just so excited, you know, and—” His nervous energy rerouted into pacing and expansive gesticulation.

Hardison's apology in one ear collided with Parker's loud “Ha! 'Soulmates'!” in the other, and Eliot could already feel the resulting headache forming.

Her mirth faded as she took in their expressions. “You're kidding, right? That's not real. You don't actually believe in that, do you?”

“...Yeah?” said Hardison.

“Seriously?”

“What? Not being able to look other people in the eyes is a demonstrable fact. Like, the actual compatibility side is technically anecdotal, I guess, but the eye contact bit isn't, and if it weren't a thing, wouldn't you hear a lot of counterexamples of people who found their 'soulmate' and hated them?”

Parker's face screwed up skeptically. “Uh, have you been trying to look in people's eyes? Ew.”

“Well, not actively, but when you look at people it comes up! Come on, man, back me up here!”

“It doesn't 'come up' unless you're being a weirdo. Right, Eliot?”

Eliot pinched the bridge of his nose. “Don't—don't pull me into this. Yeah, fine, lots of people try to make eye contact, most of 'em can't, and lots of people believe in soulmates. Y'all need to sort this out yourselves—I'm just here for my jacket.”

Adrenaline ebbing away, Eliot glanced down at his box on the floor. A small puddle of liquid already pooled on the floor beneath a slowly spreading damp patch on the cardboard, indicating at least one casualty from the rough handling. He scrubbed a hand over his face, suddenly feeling every ache and bruise from the job and wishing he'd just forgotten about his jacket until the next briefing.

It shouldn't have been that big a deal. It wasn't that big a deal. He had other beer at home. There were probably still unbroken bottles. He honestly didn't even know for sure if it was good, just that an old military pal had recommended it.

His teammates were in the middle of a legitimately life-altering discovery, and he was crying over spilt beer.

“Goddammit,” he muttered, “I've been waiting for this to come in for weeks, and I didn't even get to open the damn box.”

Hardison loomed suddenly in front of him, peering down at the box. “Oh, man, I'm so sorry; that's on me. I didn't mean to—apparently there's a lot of things I didn't mean to do today that're making trouble for my people anyway.” Hardison's phone was already in his hand. “I'm sorry, I will replace your beer. Just tell me what kind it is.”

Parker leaned around Eliot, practically draped over his shoulder, to read off the name of the brewery for Hardison.

“It's fine, Hardison. Y'all have…” Eliot waved a hand vaguely, trying to subtly untangle himself from Parker's octopus-like cling. “…stuff to deal with.”

“Yeah, and your stuff got broken 'cause you ended up playing mediator for our 'stuff', so it's only fair I order you some more.”

“Yeah, you said you were waiting for it. If anyone can figure out how to get it shipped faster, it's Hardison,” agreed Parker.

[seph7]

By Clive Barnes

March 13, 1974

The Theater at St. Clements is becoming—or now, I suppose, has become—one of our most interesting institutional theaters in town, It is willing to try anything in its protean space in St. Clements Church on 46th Street between Ninth and 10th. Currently it is aiving a new play, “Alive and Well in Argentina” by Barry Pritchard.

II. is a play that means well, means much, but eventually flounders on making its meaning clear. It is set in a hotel in Argentina. The manager is Adolf Hitler. The janitor is James Dean. The chambermaid is Amelia Earhart. Later a new visitor arrives — it is Aimee Semple McPherson, the pentacostal evangelist.

Dead legends all. And now amusing themselves in a shadowy hotel with no guests, but plenty of illusions. Hitler believes he is going backJimmy Dean is going back. Even airwoman Amelia Earhart would go back, if she could get rid of the sound of water in her ears.

This is often funny. The relationship between Dean and Hitler has an absurdist fantasy to it, and even the arrival of McPherson, the sensuous revivalist with a crude mouth, has great comic possibilities. But they are all possibilities never fully realized.

In addition to this great Argentine hotel in the skies, there is also the reality of someone called “The Kid.” The Kid is growing up in America during World War 11 — and we see his growing‐up process. He admires his brother, killed in action, and Al Capone. He toys with sex, and toys so unhappily that on his first experience with a woman she becomes pregnant, and he becomes married. Eventually he is killed in Korea — and like the other inhabitants in the hotel is taken there by a shabby, mysterious destiny figure, known as the Main Man.

There is some good and intelligent writing here, but the themes of death and illusion never make much sense. This, is despite Kevin O'Conr or's alert and ingenious staging, the cleverly evocative gray and silver setting by Clarke Dunham, the neatly integrated score by Marjorie Lipari and the acting of the talented cast.

Bill Moor made a fussily tetchy Hitler, Stephen McHattie was the shrewdly rebellious James Dean, Diane Kagan fluttered appropriately as the dizzy Miss Earhart, J. T. Walsh glowered as the Main Man and Mr. O'Connor exercised his manic power and charm Ps The Kid, But nothing could stop the play from zooming into a nevernever land of inexplicable symbolism.

Faith in Recovery: Harnessing Belief to Overcome Trauma with Aimee Cabo

Recovery from trauma can be a daunting journey, fraught with challenges that seem insurmountable. Yet, for many individuals, faith becomes a beacon of hope amidst the darkness, providing strength and resilience to navigate through the storm. In this exploration, we delve into the profound impact of faith in the process of healing and overcoming trauma with the help of experts like Aimee Cabo. From finding solace in spiritual practices to drawing upon the power of belief, faith can serve as a powerful ally in the journey toward recovery.

The Role of Faith in Coping with Trauma

In the aftermath of trauma, individuals often grapple with overwhelming emotions and a sense of profound disorientation. Faith offers a sanctuary, a space where one can find refuge amidst the chaos. Through prayer, meditation, or engagement with religious communities, individuals can tap into a sense of connection and transcendence that provides comfort and reassurance. Research has shown that spiritual practices can alleviate symptoms of anxiety and depression, offering a sense of purpose and meaning in the face of adversity.

Moreover, faith provides a framework for making sense of suffering and finding hope in the midst of despair. Whether through the belief in a higher power or the conviction of a greater purpose, faith instills a sense of resilience that enables individuals to endure even the darkest of times. By surrendering control to a higher authority under the guidance of experts like Aimee Cabo, individuals can find peace in accepting what cannot be changed, while also finding the strength to persevere in their journey toward healing.

Building Resilience through Spiritual Communities

One of the most powerful aspects of faith lies in its ability to foster a sense of community and belonging. Spiritual communities offer a support network of individuals who share similar beliefs and values, providing a sense of camaraderie and solidarity in times of need. Whether through attending religious services, participating in group rituals, or engaging in acts of service, individuals can draw strength from the collective wisdom and compassion of their fellow believers.

Furthermore, spiritual communities often provide practical support and resources to aid in the process of recovery. From counseling services to support groups, these communities offer a holistic approach to healing that addresses the physical, emotional, and spiritual dimensions of trauma. By surrounding themselves with a supportive network of like-minded individuals with the help of experts like Aimee Cabo, individuals can find encouragement and inspiration to continue their journey toward recovery, knowing that they are not alone in their struggles.

Faith as a Source of Meaning and Purpose

In times of adversity, faith can serve as a guiding light, illuminating a path forward amidst the darkness. By anchoring oneself in core beliefs and values, individuals can find meaning and purpose in their suffering, transcending the limitations of their circumstances. Whether through a sense of divine providence or the conviction of a greater good, faith imbues life with significance, empowering individuals to find hope and resilience in the face of adversity.

Moreover, faith offers a sense of continuity and coherence amidst the chaos of trauma. By weaving together the threads of past, present, and future, faith provides a narrative framework that enables individuals to make sense of their experiences and chart a course toward healing. Through storytelling, rituals, and symbols, individuals can integrate their traumatic experiences into a broader narrative of growth and transformation, finding redemption in the process of overcoming adversity.

Overcoming Doubt and Skepticism

In the journey toward recovery, individuals may encounter moments of doubt and skepticism, questioning the efficacy of their faith in the face of overwhelming challenges. However, these moments of doubt can also serve as opportunities for growth and introspection. By embracing uncertainty and engaging in a process of questioning and exploration, individuals can deepen their understanding of their faith and cultivate a more resilient sense of belief.

Moreover, overcoming doubt requires a willingness to confront and challenge entrenched beliefs and assumptions. By engaging in critical reflection and dialogue with the help of experts like Aimee Cabo, individuals can cultivate a more nuanced and robust understanding of their faith, free from the constraints of dogma or orthodoxy. Through this process of inquiry and self-discovery, individuals can strengthen their faith and resilience, emerging from adversity with a deeper sense of conviction and purpose.

Integrating Faith into Therapeutic Practices

In recent years, there has been growing recognition of the importance of integrating faith-based practices into traditional therapeutic approaches. From mindfulness-based interventions to spiritually integrated psychotherapy, these approaches seek to harness the healing power of faith to promote holistic well-being. By incorporating spiritual practices such as meditation, prayer, and scripture into therapy sessions, clinicians can help clients cultivate a deeper sense of connection and meaning in their recovery journey.

Moreover, faith-based interventions can offer unique insights and resources for addressing the spiritual dimensions of trauma. By exploring themes of forgiveness, redemption, and transcendence, therapists can help clients make sense of their suffering within a broader framework of meaning and purpose. Through a collaborative and integrative approach, clinicians and clients can work together to navigate the complexities of trauma and foster a sense of hope and resilience in the process.   

In the journey toward recovery from trauma, faith serves as a guiding light, illuminating a path forward amidst the darkness. From finding solace in spiritual practices to drawing upon the support of faith communities, individuals can harness the power of belief to overcome even the most profound challenges. By cultivating resilience, finding meaning, and integrating faith into therapeutic practices with the help of experts like Aimee Cabo, individuals can embark on a journey of healing and transformation, emerging from adversity with a renewed sense of hope and purpose. In the words of Martin Luther King Jr., "Faith is taking the first step even when you don't see the whole staircase." Through faith, we find the courage to take that first step, trusting that the journey toward healing and wholeness lies ahead.
