✎ Twisted Crests - Living with Frye

It's been a month since Danny moved in with Frye. He did this at the doctor's behest, because he wouldn't waste so much time travelling from one end of Tirthan to another. It would free up his schedule. But Danny also did this because his living situation became complicated (on the account of a very pissed off uncle who had been eyeing his inheritance ever since his mother passed away). Of course Danny wouldn't share something this personal with Frye- as discussing such things with his boss didn't leave a good taste in his mouth.

✦

He knew that Frye would probably try to take advantage of this supposed "charity". He sees Danny as little more than a personal helper, a tool- or someone to vent to when he is upset. He gets him to clean his house and do his chores. Apparently, the doctor is "too renowned" to be bothered to clean a table. Frye also doesn't know when work "ends", so he keeps trying to discuss experiments with Danny even after they've been long finished, and keeps giving him more literature to study in his free time (thus taking away all the advantages of living so close to the workplace). Overbearing and in need to direct the lives of others, Frye keeps insisting that the perfectly balanced lifestyle consists of "8 hours of sleep, 8 hours of work, and 8 hours of study" and keeps subtly pushing Danny to submit to the idea.

✦

This has had some benefits. At First, Danny was reluctant about telling his boss off. Primarily because he respects Frye (he does), and also because he's aware that he's walking on thin ice. Danny is a reprobate who spent several years in prison. He was adamant about setting his life straight, and he wasn't about to get kicked off this job simply for telling some old fool to stuff it. But, the more Frye buzzes into his ear like an annoying fly, the more confident is Danny in standing his ground. They have a push and pull relationship, where each of them keep testing the other's boundaries.

"While we're here, Danny, can you think of some theories considering our last patient?" - "I'm eating, for fuck's sake, I don't care".

Today, Danny is off to buy some groceries- because the only edible things in their apartment are two leftover tuna cans and a head of lettuce that has already turned gray. He rides the horse-drawn trolley and gets stuck in traffic because of a festival that was looming by. It begins to rain, and Danny sighs and looks outside as the pedestrians start running to find shelter from the downpour. Very common weather in Halley- a region of the continent know for humidity, fog and sudden bursts of rain. He taps his foot anxiously. He could stay in the trolley- wasting additional "free time", or he could use the newspaper in his hand to cover his head. "Why couldn't Frye go to the store? - Danny thinks to himself - "(sigh) Why does it have to be me?" Then, a flashback occurs in his head and he hears Frye's voice: "Now, now then, who is the assistant here, you, or I?" - "Ughhh" - Danny groans and disembarks from the vehicle, stepping into a large puddle of water.

✦

When he was finally done shopping, he tackles the rain again. After getting dropped off near the apartment block, he runs all the way back to the flat, laden with shopping bags full of food (that has unfortunately gotten wet). Cold, tired, and sweaty Danny finally makes it home. His face is flushed red from the heat and the cold, and he's breathing heavily. He can almost feel his temperature rising, and a flu settling into his bones. But before he can change into dry clothes, he's looking around the apartment for Frye to tell him that he made it home. But the doctor is nowhere to be found.

✦

He can't find Frye anywhere, and then he barges in through his unlocked office door, only to find him crawling on all fours towards some random woman (that he's never met before) sitting in Frye's armchair (the same armchair he'd never let Danny sit in)... and he has the dumbest, giggly expression on his face, and a garter in his teeth while mumbling something like "Dear madame! The doctor will be seeing you now!". Upon seeing Danny, he freezes and stops crawling. The lady politely waves at Danny with a sweet smile.

"I'm asking for a salary increase" - Danny says with a dry expression. The lady laughs, and Danny slams the door- but not before politely saying goodbye to the lady (and giving Frye a poisonous look 💢💢)

Anyone have references to texts about the Dead Three from the game??? Because I'm reading the Forgotten Realms wiki page on Bhaal and????

A wholly evil, debased and sadistic god, Bhaal was reviled by a majority of the pantheon; his divine foes included Chauntea, Helm, Ilmater, Lathander, Lliira and Tyr. Bhaal was served by the goddesses Talona and Loviatar, and he in turn served Bane.

Um????

The durgetash implications of this???? I'm????????

the person who helped today when I fell out of my wheelchair actually did a really great job, so I want to share in case other people wonder what to do. [Note: this is not universal, this is merely a suggestion from one person, every wheelchair user's needs are different! I am a person who uses a manual chair usually pushed by someone else who is also disabled.]

Scenario: you see someone in a wheelchair fall out of their chair, and you have the ability to help.

1. Approach and ask "are you okay?"*

2. Next question if they say no, are vague, or open to continuing conversation** is, "is there anything I can do to help?" Or "what can I do?"

If they say no to help, then that's the end, just leave and go do whatever you were doing!

If they ask for help or say they are mildly injured, ask "what would you like me to do?" And wait for an answer before doing anything! If they seem dazed or confused, they might have hit their head or had another medical event*, or they might just be like that due to regular disability. Be patient.

Do not touch the person unless they say to, or they are like, unconcious in the middle of the road, ya know?? Wheelchair users usually have conditions that mean being handled improperly can severely injure us, you could cause much more damage than the fall.

Some things they might need you to do:

Bring their wheelchair closer (mine went about 5 feet away after it dumped me)

engage the brakes of the wheelchair

hold wheelchair steady if it's an unsteady surface (mud, hill, ramp, wet, etc)

offer an arm for them to hold onto to get up (them grabbing you, not you grabbing them) or move another solid item closer for them to use (i.e. a chair) [only do this if you physically have the ability to!]

If the terrain is rough (i.e. a parking lot), they *might* ask you to push their chair to a more stable area once they are back in their chair

nothing

Something else

Do what they ask, NOT what you think would be helpful. If for some reason you have to do something (i.e. you can't stop oncoming traffic and need to get them out) ASAP, tell them what you plan to do

Keep in mind they might also be D/deaf, have a communication disability, be stunned after the fall, have a head injury, not trust other people, etc. Be patient and treat them as a person with autonomy and agency! They might need to just sit on the ground for a few minutes to recover before trying to get back in their chair. They might want everyone to leave them alone. They might ask you to call someone specific. Their chair might have broken and that can be extremely distressing. All of this is like if your legs spontaneously stop working when you're out and about!

A lot of wheelchair users (NOT ALL) have ways to get into their chair on their own once the chair is close enough and brakes engaged (but it's hard from the ground!). Here's what brakes look like on a lot of manual wheelchairs, in case they ask you to lock the brakes. They're levers on each side and pushing the lever pushes a bar against the wheel to hold it still.

ID: A manual wheelchair with the brake levels circled in red and labeled "user brake levers"

*There is also the possibility of course that a person fell out of their chair due to a seizure or other medical event, so that is why it is important to ask if they are okay. If you saw them hit their head, tell them so. If they had a medical event, follow protocol for that, I'm not gonna get into it here (thought I could).

**sometimes a person will be clear after the first question i.e. "I'm all good thanks" clearly means they do not need you to ask another question, you can just leave them alone. Keep walking and don't stare. A lot of the time people will be a bit banged up but be totally fine and able to manage on their own.

TLDR: Ask the wheelchair user if they're okay, then what they need, and then do exactly that, including leaving them alone. Thanks!

okay but like. I just had the weirdest thought about that ‘don’t look I’m naked’ comic. Which is that that’s essentially the same thing Adam and Eve did after they ate the fruit of knowledge of good&evil. So I feel like the theological implications of that could kneecap Gabe if he doesn’t think V1 is a being with free will.

yeah ok. i dunno man. is this anything

((side note. this isn’t necessarily meant to be in-character or story-accurate or take place at any particular point in time, just a way to explore some Thoughts. i was also imagining more that V1’s words aren't actually spoken, more like Gabriel’s more articulate interpretation of whatever garbled mechanical noise V1 is using to communicate. I think an angel could do that.))

and then they fucked nasty the end

has anyone gotten the idea that odysseus' storyline in hades 2 is a depiction/exploration of trauma over his SA and how he's blaming himself for things that were out of his control? because that's the impression i'm getting from what i've seen. he talks about "goddesses" as his "greatest weakness" and that "he's not one to say no to them"...

when mel invites him to the bath, he brings up mortals having different standards for intimacy than gods and how it usually has a more romantic/sexual connotation. she then asks if he's uncomfortable and he has a startled reaction and brings up circe and calypso again (but never actually by name)

(this isn't ship/romance bait btw. odysseus knew mel as a kid and they're stated in-game to have a sibling/uncle-niece relationship)

also he grew apart from penelope after his return, but the game makes a point of showing that his love for penelope and telemachus is what drove him on at all so that element of his character isn't brought into question

After Angband, Maedhros had a complicated relationship with his hair for a long while. The thing he once used to cherish and carry with pride, inherited from the mother he had left behind, was now tainted with memories of unwanted attention and derogatory touch.

After his rescue, it had to be cut short for the sake of his recovery, and he could never quite figure out whether he was more hurt or relieved by the act. It was Fingon, during those times filled with anxiety and doubt and shame, who helped him learn to accept his own appearance again– from the stump of his right arm and the scars littered across his freckled body to the locks of copper hair, ever so slowly regrowing to their former glory.

And little by little, the lingering memories of malevolent hands harshly yanking at his scalp were replaced by the feeling of tender hands carefully braiding familiar golden ribbons into his hair, once again beloved.

Danny moved to Gotham.

Freakshow is touring in Gotham.

Freakshow knows Danny is in Gotham.

Danny knows Freakshow is still after him.

Danny's faith in heroes has been shattered.

Danny turns to the only person powerful enough to run Freakshow out of town, hopefully for good.

Danny turns to the Joker for help.

The Joker is looking for a new punching bag sidekick after Harley Quinn left him.

Danny is just the perfect person to be shaped by the Joker's hands.

Danny becomes the new Joker Junior.

Imagine being married to General Jing Yuan, knowing that there could always be a day where he doesn't return home.

Every single mission he leaves on, you consistently beg and plead to join to aid him and his soldiers along their travel, but he does not falter, firm in his choice of you staying home to aid the soldiers who could potentially get hurt as he knows that he would never fall in battle.

And every time, you believe him. You believe his sickly sweet promises and his tender kisses as he whispers his love for you and presses a kiss against your ring as if to seal the promise. It works every time.

Again, every time, he comes home to you, entering your small clinic with crocodile tears of pain as he dramatically cries of the pain that settles within his wounds on his body and how his body aches at the feeling of being a general for too long and not being your husband instead.

Until one mission.

There was always a general understanding of the planned return date of any mission. It was never the exact date, but instead, it would be between the date before and two days after.

And yet, a full week has passed.

A full week with no signs of him or his soldiers returning home. A full week of nothing being heard. A full week of no other general knowing whether he would truly come home or not. A full week without the comfortable feeling of your partner being home.

As a few more days pass, you had managed to slow the tears that would stream down your face every night as you worked within your clinic, disinfecting and ensuring that everything is in their respective spot as if it'd take your mind off of your husband who still has yet to return home.

Your mind continues to paint the images of your happy memories together, the occasional splats of red falling onto each painting as if reminding you of the potential death of your partner making your heart ache as you desperately wish for him to be okay, only to be pulled away from your thoughts as you hear the bell of the door opening ring.

"Oh, my beloved healer," The familiar voice started, your eyes widening as tears prick the corners of your eyes. "I must ask, are you able to heal my horrendous wounds?" He asked, you turning to face him as you take in his features. His eyes have dark circles under them and his head and waist were roughly bandaged as small drips of blood slipped from between his fingers, the wound unknown.

"And do you potentially have something to soothe your generals-no- your husband's aching heart?" He softly smiles toward you, knowing that you'd rip him into pieces for not being home earlier but instead, his eyes widen as tears slip past your cheeks and he walks closer, bringing you into a warm hug as his body slightly flinches in pain, your hands slowly moving up his back as you softly hug him back, your small tears soaking into his stained uniform.

He was finally home.
