Thank you so much for the furfrou headcannons I absolutely loved it🥰
May I request headcannons for Arven,penny,Nemoma and Mr Hassel(my new dad) with a reader who actually lost their main partner who was a deathly protective mightyena but was…removed should we say…by their dad who was a fighting type gym leader but hated that his kid had a Pokémon like Mightyena,so he had a incredibly violent fight with his lucario and mighty was unfortunately lost in the end.Reader ran away and found a little rockruff puppy who was abandoned,he later became a dusk form lycanrock who is fiercely protective of reader.
I wonder how Hassel would react to a parent doing something so unforgivable to their child and seeing how close she is to her lycanrock and how terrified of fighting types she is.
How would Arven feel seeing someone who dropped everything to help him because she couldn’t stand seeing the cycle repeat in a way.
What about nemona? Would reader be terrified to let lycanrock battle against her pawmot?
If this is to dark I completely understand!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Oh ouch :(( This is fine to request dw!
......
Arven
He knows a thing or two about having shitty parents.
But absolutely nothing could've prepared him for the truth of why you never spoke to your dad and went through so much trouble to help his Mabosstiff recover:
Because you, too, had a dark type dog Pokémon partner..but tragically lost them after a vicious battle with your dad, a fighting type gym leader who was disappointed in you choosing Mightyena as your ace.
You two had an argument that turned violent as he sent his Lucario against Might, Mega Evolving him to teach you both a "lesson" that ended up wounding them badly.
He didn't think it was fatal, but sadly not even a Pokémon Center could heal their severe injuries.
So you comforted Might in their last moments, burying them that night and grieving, before running away from home--never speaking to your father again after that incident.
At some point, you found a friend in an abandoned Rockruff: a very young one left on a leash outside by their trainer.
You two formed a connection, and years later they remained by your side, having evolved into a Dusk Lycanroc that had the same protectiveness and loyalty as Might once did.
Arven already has tears in his eyes by the time you finish telling him everything, and when you bring out Lycanroc, he has nothing but respect for them.
Both of you wind up making sandwiches and take a break from tracking down the Titan Pokémon.
He's glad he opened up to you, and vice versa.
But boy, he'd love to give your dad hell for what he put you through.
Penny
During Operation: Starfall, you had a pretty bad panic attack when Eri brought out Lucario--an event that Penny unfortunately witnessed.
Your Dusk Lycanroc knew why you were so distressed and, despite the obvious type disadvantage, was fueled with enough rage to cleave through her team and take down the Starmobile.
After that, they helped you calm down and recuperate.
Later, after Penny reveals that she's the Team Star leader, she talks to you in private and admits to seeing that frightening moment.
But she's still unsure why you reacted that way.
Since she was open to you, though, you decided to open up to her about your past with Mightyena and how you lost them after fighting your dad's Lucario.
And you see the shock in her eyes before she shakily mutters "I'm so sorry", realizing she played a part in making you relive that trauma by battling Eri.
But you reassure her it's okay. She didn't know, and you don't hold it against either of them.
You've just been afraid of fighting types for so long, which is why you saved the Caph Squad base for last.
She's a gal of few words, but she's willing to lend you her Eeveelutions for emotional support should you ever need them.
There's a good chance she's always gonna feel somewhat guilty, especially when she catches Lycanroc sneaking glares at Eri and her team.
Nemona
Your battles with her start out normal, with your Dusk Lycanroc taking down most of her team with ease.
But when she sent out her Pawmo for the first time, you become frozen with fear--something that she notices right away and stops the fight.
She asks if you're okay, but you just quietly switch Lycanroc out for another Pokémon and swiftly end the battle before leaving.
It'll be a long while before you admit to Nemona why you looked so terrified that day, so she assumes you had a bad experience with a Pawmo before.
But when you feel comfortable enough to tell her, she feels guilty and promises to change up her team.
Ngl she's probably gonna tear up after learning how awful your dad was to your Mightyena.
She vows to battle the bastard himself and take away his gym badge for good.
But you tell her it's okay. Karma will come for him, and you just wanted to continue healing from your past wounds.
Eventually, you'll be fine battling her Pawmot, though knowing her passion you just...have this nagging fear that she might overdo it and seriously hurt your Lycanroc.
So you avoid using them if she sends that one out.
Hassel
Of all the teachers, he was closest to being the father figure you always wanted, but never got (considering your own was a dirtbag who didn't deserve his gym badge).
So you trusted him a lot, often chatting with him about homework, his elite four job, or how your treasure hunt was going.
But one day, Hassel notices how sad and distant you seemed in class today.
Considering you're always participating, it's unusual seeing you be so quiet.
So he asks you to stop by later, wondering what was weighing so heavily on your mind.
He may or may not have brought you to tears as you explain that today was the anniversary of your Mightyena's death.
After you go into detail of how your Dusk Lycanroc became your next companion, he starts sobbing his eyes out while hugging you.
Never in his life could he imagine a parent doing something so awful to their child's Pokémon.
It shatters him to know that you, too, were being forced to follow in someone else's footsteps, with your dad wanting to raise fighting-type trainers but you wishing to have a dark-type partner...and ultimately being punished for it.
Since then, Hassel has been 100% supportive of you, always saying that he'd proud of you and how well you raised your Lycanroc.

Hassel is a gay disaster but all of the Academy loves him dearly and never wants him to change. Isn't he the best?
Penny: I gained a lot of appreciation for Mr. Hassel when he picked up my fanart of My Palafin Academia two years ago and said he "could feel the rich emotionality coming off of this piece". ...It was a bishounen portrait of Todoroki.
Clive: Every day, I am grateful that Hassel stays at this academy, even with his Elite Four work... he's the sort of "supportive dad teacher" that I aspire to be someday! You know. If I ever worked full-time at a school. Which I certainly do not currently, as a student.

I'm sorry to bother you but I've been obsessed with hassius and I'm currently gnawing them like a wooden block and leaving teeth imprints on them. They have so much potential to explore??? How did they meet, when did they meet, did they study at the academy together? There's this whole implied story of Brassius falling ill and losing inspiration only for Hassel to be there for him and helping him get better? Then there's the thing of Hassel leaving his dragon tamer clan only for his family to pester him and LYING TO HIM ABOUT HIS DAD'S ILLNESS??? How does Brassius feel about it all? How did Hassel become a teacher and an elite four member??? How did Brassius become a gym leader? There's so much potential!!!
Plus like, call me delusional, but Hassel has to be blatantly gay coded, right? Leaving his strict and traditional family that forces him to likely marry a woman and have children to continue the bloodline, but he instead chooses to be a teacher and a sort of parental figure to people who aren't closely related to him (his students), he's very emotional and prone to being moved to tears (anither sort-of stereotypically gay trait), plus he pursues art (you know how many queer artists there are) that he shares with ANOTHER male artist who he supported through a serious illness and calls PET NAMES AND SHIT??? This had to be intentional, it had to be. Gamefreak probably won't make any named character canonically queer, but imo Hassel is one of the few that comes as close to being canonically gay as posssible.
Again, sorry to bother you with this but holy FUCK there's so much to talk about. People are sleeping on this ship and it's criminal.
You're definitely not bothering me, I have been so unhinged over them for months (the Hassius discord may be relevant to your interests)
I think the only reason people are sleeping on them is because the majority of their story/characterization is hidden in the optional tutorial area rip :((
I've put most of my reply under a Read More because I accidentally wrote nearly 800 words 😅
I assume that Hassel has been an Elite Four member longer than an art teacher at the academy because all the staff were replaced after Operation Star but I think it's a super logical transition for Hassel to go from inspiring Brassius' current art style, that he's proud of, to inspiring the artists as his job. Brassius already being a public figure with a clear single-type specialty seems like a natural fit for a gym leader whenever the League was formed or looking for members (depending on how old/recent it is)
Hassel is absolutely queer-coded. Going from the next of being the head of the family, and presumably the heteronormative expectations that come along with that, and leaving all that behind to pursue a creative field is so classically queer. Also moving to another country and meeting a man with whom he forms a very deep bond and settling down there 🤨🌈. I wonder whether Hassel got into visual art before or after he got to know Brassius...
And Brassius who tries to chase fame and fortune by doing what's expected of him and becoming depressed because, although he was always free to pursue his creative field, he wasn't being genuine to himself. Hassel inspiring him to be honest with himself and doing what his heart desires leads to a piece of art that renews his desire to continue with sculpting and... I think it's no coincidence that sunflora, the pokemon symbolic of smiles and sunshine, looks like Hassel... and he filled his town with 34 of them...
Also Brassius, a fruit, in love with the dragon man, is fully designed after a dragon fruit, down to the cactus-like hair (there is also a dragon fruit that has Hassel's vague colour scheme and I definitely didn't go insane when I found it). On a barely related note, the fact that the camera objectifies Brassius so hard by always zooming in on his pelvic zone in those tight leather pants and him having a knife and a whip... what were they doing there?? Fruit
I'm intrigued as to which part of the full Surrendering Sunflora story was new to Hassel during that class but after Brassius telling it and saying, "This kind of thing is hard to tell someone, especially when they are so close to you." and then excusing himself because he outright says that he's feeling embarrassed. And Hassel being moved to tears... Also it's interesting in the first place that Hassel asked about that one and not Brassius' most recent piece, Harvest (being advertised on the Levincia billboards)
YEAH THE APPLIN THING [referencing additional ask]. The fact that it's so out-of-place for an Elite Four dragon team when there are so many other options but the symbolism of it hOOO. And god, do I even have to mention the nicknames wow.
I have three different headcanons about how they long they've been a couple depending on what kind of narrative I'm going for (and pretty much all of these have a lot more to them): - Been together for ages prior to the plot of the game, possibly married (good and flexible, mostly for fun) - Got together not long before the plot (so it makes sense that Hassel wouldn't know as much depth about Brassius' proudest piece and that Brassius is embarrassed to talk about such personal things, besides the classroom setting) - And them getting together not long after Art 4, which I think is the most likely of the headcanons for the above reasons and it felt like they were teetering on the edge of making the transition from deep friendship to more-than-friendship.
Oh man I have some elaborate headcanons about Brassius' illness (the actual illness is of little interest to me) but as a story device, it is delightful to explore and the first two of the above headcanons are where I have the most fun depending on when I set things.
ALSO HAVE YOU SEEN EPISODE TEN OF POKEMON HORIZONS Have you seen Brassius' two appletun sculptures? Have you seen inside the closet in the bedroom of the house? The green jackets in there that are clearly too large for Brassius? I'm so insane over it.

Rating every teacher + Miriam in scarlet and violet how well would I enjoy their classes:
-------------
No. 8 - Dendra
Eventho her classes are about pokemon battles/related to battling, I think she's also the PE teacher. I mean look at her.
Eventho I can see her very suportive towards her students, I still would die in them. Don't like PE AT ALL. My experiences with them weren't great so thats why she's last
No. 7 - Tyme
Okay
As sweet and supportive she is, there's now way I would actually enjoy her classes. I like her as a person, but because I suck at math and it gives me anxiety - Nah. Just Nah
Shes a good teacher, but I don't really know when she's gonna explode like she did to Clavell. So sorry Tyme.
No. 6 - Salvatore
Kinda same with Tyme. He's cool and all, but how he sometimes acts... eh don't really like it... I know it's meant as a encouragement and tries to make the classes more fun but sometimes it's kinda... pushy? You know?
He's kinda 50/50
No. 5 - Miriam
Eventho she is the school nurse and don't have a teaching license [yet], I think she could be nice heath-education-teacher-thinggy (don't know the right word)
I think she's nice, but just because I can't have nice things, probably wouldn't like her classes as much I hoped.
No. 4 - Saguaro
He's a fucking chad okay? He's my dad now. Im not really into cooking but would 100% enjoy my time there. He's so adorable and cute! I mean, so MANLY that he wears pink and has some embroidery in his apron. Also uses pokemon he likes and not what everyone expects him to have.
ALSO THE FUCKING SLOPOKE CUP 😭😭😭😭 It's just so damn cute
But yeah, would enjoy his cooking classes
No. 3 - Jacq [almost forgot him]
Man, do I like biology. Is it humans or animals give it to me. Don't really like the history aspect that much but still.
He's kinda clumsy and forgets lots of things. He's also chill too that he rather show us videos than actually teach. Also can see that students tends to lie him about having homework so he always kinda "huh, I thought I did give.... OH well it's not that important" and then Clavell hears that and stares at him and the Jacq's like "oh shit"
Yeah, he cool
No. 2 - Raifort
HISTORY, LET'S GOOOO!!! Give it to me!!
Love history. So cool and interesting to learn about the past. I want to study history and become historian too so heck yeahh!!
I can see her being strict but wouldn't probably mind that. She's cool
No. 1 - Hassel
Do I really need to explain?
This man right here. Love him.
So yeah. Im the art kid so anything related to art and crafts is really nice! Don't really like all the mediums but learning new things is cool.
Hassle can be strict too but in a good way. He definitely would give all his students the best grades, but he really can't do that.
I guess usually with art, the teachers don't actually rate the atrwork itself, rather the techniques and how well you used them in the said artwork. And also how you behave in the classes maybe can affect the grade too.
So thats why you may not have given the best grades but idk. Im not a teacher and don't really want to.
BONUS ROUND!!
I know Clavell is the director, so he'll mostly do paperwork than teach, but it would be fun If he did!
When I was in school, the principal taught something sometimes. It usually was kinda easy and quick so they could have time to do the paperworks and staff.
Idk what Clavell would teach, but hell yeah, his classes would be fun. Would enjoy my time there!

My niece's new Bluey onesie I bought her came so I've got cute little babu on my mind now so take these little Big Sister Poppy headcanons 🥺
She insisted on having a little welcoming party for when her new sibling and mom came home from the hospital. She drew the banner and blew the balloons herself— okay her grandpa blew a majority of the balloons up with an air pump BUT she blew some up herself so that counts!— she also gathered all her favorite plushies up and set them up by the living room mantel to greet them too. She wasn't allowed to let her pokemon out to see them just yet, she was told to wait until the baby was adjusted better as to not overwhelm or scare them.
She was too little to go in the hospital room to see them or hold them at first, so the first time she met and held them was when they got home. And she was so excited! But also a little scared. She's never held a baby before, what if she's too little to hold them at home, too? But no worries, mom came to the rescue and helped her keep their head supported and everything!
After she got the hang of holding them, she didn't wanna let go. She fell in love with her baby sibling, she swore to protect them like a big sister should. She promised she'd even teach them how to battle and play all sorts of games, too.
The next time she came into the league office, she dragged her dad inside with her when he was only meant to drop her off. She pulled him along to the breakroom where the others would be so he could show everyone her new little sibling. He shows everyone a photo of Poppy laying in bed with her mom and sibling. Poppy laughs when Hassel breaks down at the already strong family bond. Rika and Larry just give a genuine congratulations. As Geeta is her aunt, she's already met the baby, but Poppy still insisted she see the picture anyway. Geeta immediately asked her brother in law to send her that picture lol
It isn't all super cool and fun, Poppy discovered. The baby cries a lot and keeps her parents up a lot, so they're kinda cranky in the morning when they don't mean to be. And Poppy hasnt been sleeping well, either. But she gets afternoon naps still so it really hasn't affected her much. It's just kind of mildly annoying.
She knows they're not only enough to play yet, but she still tries to include them in her games. Just little ones with her dolls. Sometimes she brings her reading homework into the nursery, while her mom is in there, and reads to them(to the best of her ability).
When she's much older, Poppy remains a good and close big sister to her sibling. She indeed teaches them how to battle like she promised. She even helped them catch their first pokemon.

Send me 💭 to hear my muses thoughts on your muse
Tumblr media
“To just call him an inspiration doesnt seem like I’m doing him justice. He’s way more then that. I care about him deeply, like family, even though I know he doesnt… or likely doesnt consider me the same. I’m content with being a student in his eyes. Our circumstances in life are so similar that I often wonder if we exist to just mirror one another… He’s taught me the hard life lessons a dad is SUPPOSED to teach you, and while I love Hassel, his approach has always been very gentle… supportive, positive reinforcement. That only gets so far, though, lifes not always that kind… and I’m happy he’s actually made the effort to show me that.
I’m overjoyed to have him and Red in my life, I love them both dearly.
I’d be dead without him, I owe him a debt, even if he’ll deny it. I pray this letters enough to help…”

just got the credits of violet and i have many thoughts.. spoilers under cut
god the fact that turo has been DEAD for THREE years and his corpse has just been rotting and his AI is just down there all alone doing the best he can after his creator got gored and bled out... god. he’s been down there just. sentient enough to have emotion. pride. sorrow. but cannot leave, cant shut it down on his own. it’s shut down is his end. so he yeets himself into the future. sir i hope whereever you are in the future, you have a good time and they will accept you AI man with your stories of the past. a living relic really! very cool scientific discovery, hopefully they know not to fuck with time in the future me thinks bc of AI turo. anyways. yikes my dude, arven you have a million layers of trauma to work through even more so than before. more than that, now they have to report his death to the league and stuff since he was a famous inventor. like uhhh yeah we are kids but all of this crazy stuff DID happen and you gotta believe us. legit time machine down there. bonkers i know but it’s real. also he’s dead. also there is other things down there and uhhh just dont worry about it. 
paldea feels like one of the more “lived in” regions where it’s got a clear history and sense of self. it feels like a real place. a lot of other regions are just... kinda there. plus i liked that there was no world ending threat or evil people or anything. just a dead man’s dream haunting the world, putting future pokemon where they dont belong. just had to hit that off switch that’s all. oughgh it hurts. 
but it’s good! i love the characters. i want mr. hassel to be my dad he’s perfect your honor. dragon type elite four member who is your loving art teacher who care you and support you. sir be mine forever you are my blorbo from this game. rika is a close second bc of wittiness and gender.

Why Helping Others Will Change Your Life Too
By helping others you will help those people become greater in life, you will offer hope and support to those that need it most. Karma will come back and provide kindness and help to you too. So stick around on this page for how you can learn to help people too with our top tips and frequently asked questions about this important topic.
Audio Transcript On Why Helping Others Will Change Your Life
0 (1s): Hi there and welcome to changeyourlifeforever.co.uk. It’s Scott, your host talking. And today we’re gonna talk a bit helping others, because from my perspective and you might think differently than this. I really get a lot out of helping other people, sometimes when you do help others it kind of gives you a nice feeling inside that you’re doing something that is worthwhile. That you’re helping somebody either become a better person or do a better job or just.
0 (33s): Generally helping them feel better, sometimes where it can go wrong. And I found this quite a bit. It’s that kind of a mental health and anxiety. It’s really, really complicated. What one person might go through a stressful event compared to another person going through a stressful event is completely, completely different. Kind of what I see a lot is people who are suffering from mental health issues themselves, trying to help other people with it. And it’s really difficult to do that because in order to help a lot of other people sometimes, you have to get over the mental health issues and the anxiety yourself in order to really realize what you can do to push them forward.

0 (1m 15s): But there are simple things that you can do every day and helping other people, you know, it’s quite simple. So I’ll give you an example of this morning. I got a phone call from a recruitment consultant looking for me to take on a new contract role, but I’m already in a contract. So I have a chat with her and help her out, by saying I know quite a few people through COVID at the moment that are looking for jobs. They haven’t had a job for quite a few months. Now, there getting a bit worried. So pick up the phone to them.
0 (1m 47s): I’m like, look this job has come up. Would you be interested? And kinda connect those people together and hopefully, one of the people I know will get that job. And then as an impact of helping them, they hopefully will then be able to provide for their family again. They will get a job that will last them for the next six months, 12 months, and see them through COVID. And it’s just simple little things like that. But when you’re think about serving others and when you think about other people on the top of your own thoughts your own difficulties, your own situation, it helps you to actually provide a little bit of light, a little bit love into someone else’s life and it can be something really simple.
0 (2m 33s): If you see somebody struggling, don’t criticize them, don’t think their doing something bad or doing a bad job, just go out and help them see what help they need to become better. I work with a lot of people and the intrusive thoughts that a lot of people go through and the self criticism and the anxiety and the stress that we feel nowadays, a lot of it comes down to the fact that the, if you lived on your own, you probably wouldn’t have any hassell, but introduce loads of other people into the equation.
0 (3m 5s): You’ve got all these different personalities with different thoughts, with different ideas. You think you’ve got to fit in and you think you’ve gotta get on with everyone and life isn’t like that. You should just be yourself. And by being yourself part of that is being kind to other people and helping people, helping other people become great. You know, I think in my career, I’ve helped so many young people, that people wouldn’t give them an opportunity to within the organizations and I have coached them and I’ve mentored them and have trained him.
0 (3m 37s): And some of them have gone off and leading global organizations, such as DELL, IBM and all sorts of other roles that they would never have been given. If I hadn’t have actually gone out my way to think that helping others was an essential part of every day life. And you don’t need to protect yourself. You don’t need to protect to yourself from other people doing better than you. And especially if you are in a management role or a supervisory role, our job is to ask people, how can I help?
0 (4m 10s): How can I help you do your job better? How can I be there for you? How can I support you? What can I do that makes your job that much better, that much easier. But for some reason, some people don’t like helping others, you know? And that might be because it so ingrained in our own lives, we’ve got so much going on now. That is the last thing that we think about. And I’m quite lucky as well because my wife is probably the most helpful person on the planet she’ll do over and above anything for anyone.
0 (4m 40s): You give her a call at two o’clock in the morning and she’ll be there for you, but everybody loves her and everybody relies on her. And she does say it without expecting anything back, she doesn’t help other people because she wants them to do something for her too. And its like those jobs today, probably those guys, when they get that job I may not even get a thank you for it because sometimes people forget that you’ve helped, you know what you’ve done to guide them and everything else, but you should do it without needing any gratitude for it, you should do it because karma really does work and karma does come back.
0 (5m 18s): So when you need help, hopefully people will be there for you. If you’ve done things for them, then when you were in your deepest, darkest place, then hopefully people will be there for you too. And I know in the world at the moment it is really, really difficult. You know, the global economy is falling apart. People are losing the jobs. There’s lockdowns. Hear there everywhere. There’s no better time than now to see how you can help other people. And if you are fortunate, enough to be in, a great job in a great place.
0 (5m 51s): And you’re being able to sit this out then see whether there is, anybody else out there that does need your help, it might be helping them review a CV. It might be helping them connect to other people. It might be helping them get a job. It might be helping them go shopping because they are in lockdown. But just think about helping others, put that as a priority in your day to help other people out and just ask them, how can I help? What can I do? Is there anything that you need?
0 (6m 22s): And I know my dad the other week? He was moving house and he is 72 now. And I kept saying to him, do you need any help dad. do you need any help or anything. And he was like, no, I’ll be OK. So I went over anyway, and some of the things that he was trying to do at his age he shouldn’t have been doing. And he actually ended up hurting himself on the last day of moving some stuff. If I hadn’t off gone over to help him, there’s no way he could have moved his house in two days, he is not a spring chicken anymore. You know, he had all these ideas that he could bung all the stuff into a trailer and get it moved.
0 (6m 55s): And it would all be hunky-dory, but it wasn’t like that. But when you think about helping others personally, I feel great from helping people. I feel great that somehow I have contributed to making their life better. I know some times it feels like you’re taken for granted. I know sometimes it feels as if giving kindness, people don’t really care or they’ll walk all over you. Do it for yourself, don’t do it for anybody else. Do it for yourself. Just learn that helping others.
0 (7m 26s): Is a really really important part of life. And in you’re day make it part of your routine, help as many people as you possibly can. And you will see that they will smile at you. They will thank you. They will be grateful, and it will spur you on. It will take your mind away from your horrible thoughts. Your horrible feelings your anxiety and your stresses because helping others, will also make you realize hopefully that you are actually in a good place.
0 (7m 57s): And if your not in a good place, then go and ask for help yourself it does no harm in asking other people to help you. Sometimes we all need a helping hand. We all need some guidance in life. We all need somebody to come and offer that hand of reassurance to make us feel a bit more positive, to make us feel a bit more confident just to give us a hand. So we don’t feel like we’re on our own. So please go out there today. Help as many people as you can see helping others as an important part of your life.
0 (8m 28s): If you can serve overs just to ask them, how can you help them and see whether it puts a smile on your face?
My Top Tips On Helping People Through Life
Be patient – Some people need more help than others and just because they don’t get something straight away does not mean that they are stupid. Other people will also act differently than you would in the same situation so be empathic and understanding to their feelings.
Karma – Know that for every person that you help that you have done a great deed and that Karma will pay you handsomely in rewards. What we give out is generally what we recieve, so if you would like others to help you, it is important that you help them too.
Have fun – Helping people grow is really interesting and especially if they follow your advice and guidance too. It is an overwhelming feeling when you do something to impact someone’s life in a way that they will never forget.But make helping fun and not a chore.
Don’t give up – Sometimes you will see someone that needs help but will refuse to ask or will turn down your offer. Just stay persistent with this and see where and when you can help them out. Eventually they will give in and let you give them a helping hand.
Learn from others – Helping other people is a great way about learning more about how other people cope with things in life. We all tend to deal with things differently and seeing how and why they deal with things in this way will give you help in your life too.
People you don’t know – Having great manners is something that seems to be deteroriating in todays society. So if you see someone on the street struggling, help them out. Open doors for people, give up your seat for the elderly and pregant, help little old ladies across the road. A little kindness and help really does go a long way.
Smile and recognition – At the end of the day when you look back and be grateful for the day. You can reflect on all the good things you have done to help other people. Give yourself a massive pat on the back and smile knowing that you have done your best to make someone’s life a better place.

Frequently Asked Questions About Helping Other People
What are the benefits of helping others? Are that you will be able to look back and know that you have made someone’s life better in some way. Despite the way we are in society sometimes with our heads down, we are meant to be in packs and helping each other, forage, hunt and eat. The way I see it is that when you help someone else you are also empowering yourself as a person. You become much more aware of your qualities and other people’s when you help them. Some people will eternally be grateful, other people will grunt but if you offer help you can hold your head up high knowing that you have been completely unselfish in your acts?
What do you mean by helping other people? It means giving people a hand when they need it. It can be anything from simple things to volunteering. But when you give time to others and help them with what ever they need you are offering them something that otherwise they would struggle with. All of us deserve to live a great life and we can do so by helping people with things that they are struggling with. It is a great strength to have when we can condition ourselves to help people when they need it and without expecting anyting in return.
How can we help others? You can volunteer to help the elderly, sick, children, animals and many more society’s. Also if you see someone struggling at work, shopping, in the street, wherever, then offer them a helping hand. You can carry bags for people, open doors, just where you see an opportunity, give someone a helping hand.
What is the feeling off helping other people? For me, I love seeingpeople’s faces, a lot of people don’t like to ask for help as it is seen as weakness. It is not, if you cannot do something else, then always ask for help. I love helping people and like to see the smile on their faces because they know there are kind people out there that actually care in this World too.
How does helping people help you? This to me is all down to Karma and when you need help, then hopefully someone will be there for when you need them too. Also you will learn a lot about yourself and other people by simply helping out. Try it and see how you feel.
There you go everything I have to say on why you should help others too. If you like what I say then join my transformation program below and we can work together on living life with a smile and helping yourself and others too.
Wishing you all the best in life Scott

Gender and Sexuality Portfolio Post Two: Connection to Foundational Course Concepts
Tumblr media
          Certain key concepts within the field of Women and Gender Studies are integral to common issues within society, one of which is maternity leave. Maternity leave encompasses a multitude of experiences which are almost exclusive to women, so it is an important topic to view through the lens of key concepts. Topics such as social construction, agency, privilege, oppression, and intersectionality are all ideas that help us to better understand the debate and concern over maternity leave in a more complex way. Through this examination of maternity leave in relation to these key concepts, it is clear that mothers are placed at a disadvantage in the United States due to the lack of guaranteed maternity leave in many aspects. Health, finances, and general well-being are all placed at stake when a woman becomes pregnant, and forcing them to work up until birth and very soon after adds to the risk.
     Social construction of gender is a common concept that can be described as the teaching of what it means to have and show a gender. From birth, children are taught by society what is acceptable as a male or a female, and these norms are extremely rigid. This is largely based upon what each individual takes gender to mean, but society has framed it in such a way that there is a general, agreed upon definition of male and female (Foss, Domenico, & Foss 2013) Women are expected to dress femininely, take up little space, have and show emotions, etc. while men are expected to dress ruggedly, take up as much space as they want, and show no emotion outside of anger. Any deviation from these paths created by society results in criticism, hostility, and rejection. 
     The social construction of gender is a prevalent concept in regard to maternity leave and being a mother in general because one aspect of the social construction of gender for females is the idea of being a mother and the responsibilities that it entails. According to a study on the effects maternity leave has on mother-child relationships, it was found that relationships between mother and child are most responsible for teaching the child aspects of emotions, empathy, and appropriate interactions with others (Busch-Rossnagel & Plotka, 2018). This notion supports the social construction for females, especially mothers, to be nurturing, caring, kind, emotional, etc. If parental roles were reversed and the child’s father taught them how to show emotions and care for other people, the family unit would likely be criticized and seen as “weird.”
     Agency is the notion that a person is able to make their own decisions to change certain aspects of their life if they so choose. One important criteria of agency is that a person feels some sort of power over their own life (Foss, Domenico & Foss, 2013). This connects to the topic of maternity leave because often, mothers are not able to enact agency in regard to how much time they can take off of work after childbirth because their employer might not ensure a job upon return, the mother cannot go without pay, etc.
     An article written in the Washington Post notes that since the United States is virtually the only country worldwide that does not guarantee paid maternity leave, women have no choice but to go back to to work almost immediately after giving birth (Ingraham, 2018). Even if they want and need more time to heal and bond with their child, they are not in a position to make that choice. Thus, they do not have control over that aspect of their life, and their agency is denied.
     Privilege is the concept in which a specific type of person or group of people are given an advantage simply because of the category they fit in, usually a dominant group in society (Hassel, Launius 2015). Examples include white privilege, male privilege, and heterosexual privilege because these are seen as the norm within society, and those who fit these are given a special advantage over others, whether it be known or unknown. This relates to maternity leave because male privilege is invoked when he is not forced to not only give birth to a child, but also take time off of work while not being paid.
     An article written in the Washington Post by a stay-at-home dad depicts the realization of male privilege. Literally titled, “I didn’t understand male privilege until I became a stay-at-home dad,” he writes of his first trip to the grocery store with his two kids and the praise he received while there. At first, he enjoyed the praise and felt he deserved it, but after reading an article by Tal Peretz on the pedestal effect (when men are put “on a pedestal” for doing something traditionally considered women’s work), he realized he was experiencing male privilege (Doidge-Kilgore, 2018). This is a perfect example because so often men are praised for doing the bare minimum for their kids, whereas women are under constant scrutiny of their every move as a mother.
     Just as privilege advantages certain groups or people, oppression disadvantages other groups or people (Hassel, Launius 2015). Oppression is sometimes thought to be in a binary with privilege and that a person cannot be both privileged and oppressed simultaneously, but other terms such as intersectionality prove that to be false. Oppression is closely related to maternity leave because as women, mothers already experience oppression. Furthermore, certain mothers also fall within other categories, such as single mother, black mother, disabled mother, and thus are oppressed further and further.
     A study by Julia Goodman titled “Laboring Until Labor: The Prevalence and Correlates of Antenatal Maternity Leave in the United States,” found that women who work right up until birth are more likely to have cesarean births, low birth weight baby, preterm delivery, etc. (Goodman, 2017). This shows that women who are not able to take any time off before delivery, even a few days, are more likely to experience complications with labor and delivery. Working women are being oppressed in this way because the lack of maternity leave and antenatal leave (leave before birth) guarantee forces them to work until they deliver, causing many potential problems.
     As previously noted, it is possible for a person to be both privileged and oppressed simultaneously because of a concept called intersectionality. Intersectionality refers to a person’s ability to have several different aspects making up their identity (Hassel, Launius 2015). For example, a person can be both white and a woman, both a man and black, both heterosexual and a minority, etc. This is applicable to maternity leave because women have multiple aspects that make up their identity, for example a woman may experience privilege because she is white but oppression because she belongs to the working class.
     This is exemplified in the study on working women and antenatal leave (Goodman, 2017). Women who have no choice but to work up until their due date and return to work shortly after birth are oppressed, but may experience other privileges, for example being white, heterosexual, Christian, etc.
     Through the examination of maternity leave through the lens of key concepts in Women and Gender Studies, it becomes clear that the issue involves much more than just the need for mothers to be guaranteed longer and perhaps paid leave. Deeply-rooted oppression, privilege, financial troubles, health concerns, and more are all involved in the struggle over maternity leave and are more easily understood when applying these concepts to the topic.

Advice on teen car insurance ?
I'm 18, from Ontario and have had my G2 for over a year now. I was in a deathly car accident in january on the highway because of really bad weather conditions, I'm lucky to be okay. The cop didn't charge me because the weather was so bad and there were a number of car accidents that week. However the insurance company faulted me because I spun out first. Its been 2 months and my dad has done nothing but complain about his car being wrecked. He blames me 100% for the accident even though I hit black ice and there was nothing I could do, and he wasn't even there... For my 18th birthday my grandad (his dad) is giving me $10,000 for a car. My dad is making him wait to give it to me and he won't take me car shopping ! And when I do get one he's not putting me under his insurance ! I have to insure my own car at 18 with only a part time job. Is this unfair? Not being able to drive has been a huge hassel. What are the cheapest cars to insure ? I can drive standard so there's no limitations. What's the best insurance companies ? How much do you think it would be ?

Does urgent care cost a lot without insurance?
Please don't treat me like I'm an idiot. I went to the doctor at my college. They told me my throat looks very bad, but I tested negative for strep throat. They are closed all weekend, so I would have to go to urgent care. Last time I was sick (way less sick than this) they gave me steroids and they told me I would have been in the hospital if I waited after the weekend. When I was born, I had a pneumothorax, so I have very bad asthma. I just had an asthma attack, so I want to go to urgent care. However, my dad passed away in january, so we can't afford health insurance (only the one the school provides with tuition). I was just wondering if anyone knows about how much a regular visit would cost without health insurance. Thank you""

Or do they have a delay to when i'll actually be insured/ to when the police can tell if a car is insured or not? So should i change my insurance now or later? Thanks

When speaking to our insurer, USAA, they said our renters insurance , which included $100,000 liability, would cover us having anyone besides us use the pool or being on our property in general . The landlord was responsible for having insurance for the pool and the house to protect themselves and they told us we were not responsible for paying for insurance for the landlord .

Car Insurance Question in NJ?
My husband and I have two cars- both insured with us as the drivers. However, his mother (and sometimes his three brothers) have been using my husband's car while there's is getting fixed. They've had the car going on three months- and I read on progressive.com (our insurance, obviously) that we're responsible to make sure any 'regular' drivers are covered under our insurance. I'm not sure their insurance situation, since the car has been so delayed in getting fixed- they may have canceled it until they get it back. So, I don't actually want to contact the insurance company- because I'm sure they'll do what's best for them, not us. My questions are- are we responsible to cover them under our insurance since they are driving it 'regularly' or since we have the car covered is it okay? What would happen if someone besides me and my husband had a collision in that car- would the insurance be obsolete?""

I've never been in a wreck, never been pulled over.

""My teen had a minor accident, will my insurance go up?""
My daughter who is 16 yrs old tapped a car from behind at a stop sign. There was no damage done to either car and no injuries. The guy said he was not going to do anything about it since there was no damages. My daughter gave him her information (insurance etc). I called the guy to make sure everything was ok, he said nothing happened to his car or himself but he went ahead and opened a claim with my insurance because he thought he had to do that. I know that if he decides to ask for damages the insurance will pay.

Advice on teen car insurance ?
I'm 18, from Ontario and have had my G2 for over a year now. I was in a deathly car accident in january on the highway because of really bad weather conditions, I'm lucky to be okay. The cop didn't charge me because the weather was so bad and there were a number of car accidents that week. However the insurance company faulted me because I spun out first. Its been 2 months and my dad has done nothing but complain about his car being wrecked. He blames me 100% for the accident even though I hit black ice and there was nothing I could do, and he wasn't even there... For my 18th birthday my grandad (his dad) is giving me $10,000 for a car. My dad is making him wait to give it to me and he won't take me car shopping ! And when I do get one he's not putting me under his insurance !

Car Insurance Renewal Why Did It Make That Much Of A Difference?
My partner had his renewal quote through and we've been shopping around and haven't even come close to getting it cheaper elsewhere so he decided to ring them thinking by taking me off the policy it would make it cheaper still since I've only had my license just over a year and would think still be considered a high risk but it in fact increased the price by about 60 my partner got a speeding fine last year which gained him 3 points too so we knew that would have an impact on the price this time but the only explanation I can think of was that me being female and at 31 i'm not what is classed as a young driver either and a named driver on his policy helps to keep the cost down but aren't the insurance companies doing away with that criteria as it was discriminating? Can anyone shed some light on this as its all a bit confusing and am just curious to why I actually help to keep his insurance cheaper

How much would a reasonable monthly insurance payment be for a UK driver with more than 15yrs experience? Also, how much would it be if you added a newly qualified driver as secondary driver to that. The car is a 2006 Ford Galaxy. I know it depends on the other extras etc, but I just want to get a rough idea of what would be a reasonable amount to expect for this, on average.""

Car Insurance Quotes?
I have been looking on confused.com, comparethemarket.com, gocompare.com for car insurance quotes and they are all between 6000-16000 these prices are a total joke okay maybe there are stupid drivers but there has got to be a balance between high premiums and trying to stop people driving without insurance having prices like these will result in many people driving un-insured. I am 17 and passed in January of this year and I have took the Pass Plus Scheme and it has made not difference in my quotes. I need help to see if I am doing anything wrong because I can not see how any 17 year old can afford 7000 for insurance. Thanks for the Help.""

How would obamacare affect our family?
We are a middle class family, smack dab in the middle... Hubby's job provides health insurance, but for a family of 3, which we are, it would cost $200 a week for coverage, with high deductible, so! Since hubby is in exceptional health and hasnt had any medical problems (knock on wood!) he continues without health insurance; I remain on my parents plan as I'm 25 (aka under 26yrs old), and we pay for child health plus for my daughter, for a small fee a month, which depends on our income We simply couldn't afford to pay $800 a month for family coverage, so doing it this way saves us, like $600+! So since we don't make enough to pay for hubbys $800 family plan through work, is obamacare basically going to force hubby to get health insurance through his work, even though it's complete garbage? Or will his employer have more affordable family plan that we could afford? Just trying to understand it all better! Thanks in advance! :-)""

It's time to stand up for trans people. Here are 21 ways to show your support.
Transgender people in this country are in the fight of their lives. This is no exaggeration.
Between fighting for safe spaces in schools, pushing back against hurtful bathroom bills, railing against bigoted local policies disguised as religious freedom, service members being pushed back into the closet, and the constant threat of harassment, sexual assault, and violence, transgender people are truly fighting for their lives.
Now more than ever, we need to stand with transgender and gender-nonconforming people. Here are 21 ways to do just that.
1. Use preferred pronouns and names.
It's not difficult and it shows that you respect and acknowledge someone's identity. If you're not sure which pronouns someone uses, ask.
Photo by Scott Olson/Getty Images.
2. Need a new book or podcast? Support transgender creatives.
Books, essays, articles, or podcasts are an easy, affordable place to start. This is not only a way to hear rich first-person accounts of some of the issues affecting the transgender community, but buying books or downloading podcasts is a great way to support trans creators financially.
Here's an awesome list of transgender authors by genre to get you started.
3. It's time to start calling people out. Stand up — even when it's hard.
Don't let your friends or family get away cruel "jokes" or snide remarks. It's not always easy, but being an ally isn't a spectator sport. A simple, "That's not OK" in conversation can remind people that words have consequences.
4. Put your money where your heart is and support organizations showing up for trans people.
If you have any extra money, consider donating it to groups like TransLifeline or the Trevor Project. These organizations are on the front lines supporting transgender youth and adults in crisis. If money is tight, consider saving up or donating your next birthday to the effort.

5. Follow, read, and share transgender voices on social media.
In addition to go-tos like Janet Mock and Laverne Cox, voices like Chris Mosier, Dominick Evans, Katelyn Burns, Emily Gorcenski, and Upworthy's own Parker Molloy are a great place to start.
6. Back Sam, the first educational transgender toy, on Kickstarter.
This sweet toy helps kids explore what it means to grow up transgender. It's great for all kids, not just kids who might be exploring different aspects of their gender identity. Watch this sweet video introducing Sam to the world.

7. Trans women of color are being murdered at an alarming rate. They need your support more than ever.
If you don't know about this epidemic, here are the facts. In 2016, at least 22 transgender people died as a result of violence. In 2017, 15 have already been killed by violent means.
Ask your city council, police department, and everyone running for local office what they plan to do to prevent these tragedies. Don't accept non-answers. Lives are at stake.
8. With that in mind, speak out against the gay and trans panic defense.
In 48 states, alleged murderers can defend their actions in court by suggesting the victim's sexual or gender identity triggered their crime. California and Illinois are the only states that have banned this defense. Talk to your state legislators to find out what you can do to advance legislation banning this defense in your state.
9. Volunteer to help transgender-supportive candidates, in your area or nationally.
Bigoted policies don't reach the governor or the president's desk in a vacuum — bigoted people put them there. Help candidates who stand with transgender people get elected or keep their seats.

10. Make sure the places you frequent are inclusive.
Check out the policies or bylaws at your workplace, gym, or community center to make sure they're welcoming and inclusive of transgender and gender-nonconforming people. If not, talk to the powers that be about how to create or improve the nondiscrimination policy.
11. Get out in the community and volunteer.
Use the United Way's search tool to find opportunities supporting the LGTBQ community in your area.

12. Too busy to volunteer? Support the helpers.
You may not have the time to commit to a weekly or monthly volunteer opportunity, but consider dropping off bagels, coffee, or a thoughtful card to those who do. Drop off the goodies at your local crisis center or LGBTQ community space.
13. Attend LGBTQ events, rallies, and activities.
This doesn't mean co-opt safe LGBTQ safe spaces as your own, but instead, attend Pride and Trans Day of Remembrance events as an ally. Look in your community calendar for LGBTQ film festivals, gallery exhibitions, comedy shows, or demonstrations to attend.

14. Fund a day of self-care for a transgender person.
Being constantly attacked and scrutinized by your own government is exhausting and a little self-care can go a long way. Awesome folks online are bringing allies together to fund nights out at the movies, co-pays for therapists, or just encouraging notes. Support their effort or donate directly to a friend in need.
Given the news from 45 that will deeply affect the trans community today, we, as allies, accomplices, and...
Posted by Jerilyn Hassell Pool on Wednesday, July 26, 2017
15. Reach out to the transgender people you know.
A kind word, phone call, or simple text can mean a lot. Let them know you stand with them today and always.
16. Listen, watch, and share stories from transgender people and their families.
There are so many great first-hand accounts that deserve to be heard, like this story of a dad speaking up for his trans son, this Republican, Christian mom staring down bigots to stand up for her daughter, or this story of a woman's coworkers surprising her with a party after her transition. These stories need to be heard.
youtube
17. Support trans troops and veterans.
Trans people have served this country proudly in every branch of the armed forces. When policies and declarations attempt to push them back into the closet, call your senator and representative to make sure they're standing on the side of equality. Consider supporting the Transgender American Veterans Association too.
18. Reconsider how you use gendered language.
While some trans people have no problem being referred to by gender-specific phrases like "ladies and gentlemen," inclusive language is just as welcoming and leaves no one out. Just recently, the transportation system in London abandoned "Ladies and Gentlemen" in announcements because "Hello, everyone" works just as well.
Photo by Carl Court/Getty Images.
19. Model how to stand and support trans people for the kids in your life.
Kids are always watching. Let your kids, or the kids in your life, know that you stand up for transgender and gender-nonconforming people, including them. Encourage the kids in your life to stand up for their friends and do what's right, even when it's hard.
Photo by David McNew/Getty Images.
20. Look up where the companies you love fall on the Human Rights Campaign Corporate Equality Index.
Sure they make great burgers or T-shirts, but does your favorite brand treat its LGBTQ employees fairly? Do they buy goods and contract services from LGBTQ suppliers? If not, consider adjusting your loyalty.
21. Vote.
If you're sick and tired of the mistreatment of transgender people and other traditionally underrepresented groups by their own government, then remember to do your research and vote. Every election — every time.
Now, more than ever, transgender people need our support.
Stand with them, signal boost their voices and stories, and let your elected officials know that discrimination will not be tolerated. Transgender people are fighting for their lives. It's time for some backup.

The first time she saw him she didn't really know what to think. She was under Hassel's training at this point, far to busy in her studies to really pay him much mind, but yet she caught herself staring.
He seemed very shy, always bundled up and hiding behind some kind of face mask or scarf- at least when she saw him he was. But something about that mystery and how he carried himself always had her staring...
Until Hassel caught her looking.
"My dear Rika, why does he entrance you so?"
"H-he doesn't ENTRANCE ANYTHING Hassel!!" she barks, obviously flustered that she got called out, and quick to storm off away from her teacher, who gleefully followed behind her, eager for a chance to tease her about something, she guessed.
"It's alright to have crushes, my dear! Why, I encourage you to act on them, even. The worst he can say is no, right?" The man laughs, only deepening her embarrassment.
"Arceus, why are you like this..." She sighs, hugging the book she was holding to her chest. "You're acting like my dad again, Hassel."
"Maybe I am, but I want you to know that no matter what you choose to do in life, I'm here to support you. You show promise in many things, Rika, not just battling. Do not sell your other talents so short."
"You trying to imply flirting is a talent of mine?" She laughs, watching as Hassel quickly put his proverbial foot in his mouth and turned away.
"Nothing of the sort!! I'm trying to tell you to have confidence, my dear, you beat yourself up so much. Inferiority doesn't suit you."
She ponders his message for a long time, hemming and hawing before finally nodding her head in acceptance. "I think I get it... Thank you, Hassel, I'll... try."

California and Illinois are the only states that have banned this defense. Talk to your state legislators to find out what you can do to advance legislation banning this defense in your state.
9. Volunteer to help transgender-supportive candidates, in your area or nationally.
Bigoted policies don't reach the governor or the president's desk in a vacuum — bigoted people put them there. Help candidates who stand with transgender people get elected or keep their seats.

10. Make sure the places you frequent are inclusive.
Check out the policies or bylaws at your workplace, gym, or community center to make sure they're welcoming and inclusive of transgender and gender-nonconforming people. If not, talk to the powers that be about how to create or improve the nondiscrimination policy.
11. Get out in the community and volunteer.
Use the United Way's search tool to find opportunities supporting the LGTBQ community in your area.

12. Too busy to volunteer? Support the helpers.
You may not have the time to commit to a weekly or monthly volunteer opportunity, but consider dropping off bagels, coffee, or a thoughtful card to those who do. Drop off the goodies at your local crisis center or LGBTQ community space.
13. Attend LGBTQ events, rallies, and activities.
This doesn't mean co-opt safe LGBTQ safe spaces as your own, but instead, attend Pride and Trans Day of Remembrance events as an ally. Look in your community calendar for LGBTQ film festivals, gallery exhibitions, comedy shows, or demonstrations to attend.

14. Fund a day of self-care for a transgender person.
Being constantly attacked and scrutinized by your own government is exhausting and a little self-care can go a long way. Awesome folks online are bringing allies together to fund nights out at the movies, co-pays for therapists, or just encouraging notes. Support their effort or donate directly to a friend in need.
Given the news from 45 that will deeply affect the trans community today, we, as allies, accomplices, and...

15. Reach out to the transgender people you know.
A kind word, phone call, or simple text can mean a lot. Let them know you stand with them today and always.
16. Listen, watch, and share stories from transgender people and their families.
There are so many great first-hand accounts that deserve to be heard, like this story of a dad speaking up for his trans son, this Republican, Christian mom staring down bigots to stand up for her daughter, or this story of a woman's coworkers surprising her with a party after her transition. These stories need to be heard.

17. Support trans troops and veterans.
Trans people have served this country proudly in every branch of the armed forces. When policies and declarations attempt to push them back into the closet, call your senator and representative to make sure they're standing on the side of equality. Consider supporting the Transgender American Veterans Association too.
18. Reconsider how you use gendered language.
While some trans people have no problem being referred to by gender-specific phrases like "ladies and gentlemen," inclusive language is just as welcoming and leaves no one out. Just recently, the transportation system in London abandoned "Ladies and Gentlemen" in announcements because "Hello, everyone" works just as well.

19. Model how to stand and support trans people for the kids in your life.
Kids are always watching. Let your kids, or the kids in your life, know that you stand up for transgender and gender-nonconforming people, including them. Encourage the kids in your life to stand up for their friends and do what's right, even when it's hard.

20. Look up where the companies you love fall on the Human Rights Campaign Corporate Equality Index.
Sure they make great burgers or T-shirts, but does your favorite brand treat its LGBTQ employees fairly? Do they buy goods and contract services from LGBTQ suppliers? If not, consider adjusting your loyalty.
21. Vote.
If you're sick and tired of the mistreatment of transgender people and other traditionally underrepresented groups by their own government, then remember to do your research and vote. Every election — every time.
Now, more than ever, transgender people need our support.
Stand with them, signal boost their voices and stories, and let your elected officials know that discrimination will not be tolerated. Transgender people are fighting for their lives. It's time for some backup.
