Ticci Toby + Personality Disorders and Mood Disorders

this is based off of @necroromantics post, i felt very inspired to share my thoughts on it, although it took me about 3-4 days to get done i had a lot of fun!

this is mainly about BPD and ASPD(one mention because i don't know a lot about ASPD as a whole) as far as personality disorders go, i know the most about those when it comes to personality disorders. out of mood disorders, to stay relevant to the original post it'll just be the two types of Bipolar disorder.

I chose these three disorders as my topic because they are the most common headcanon for his character(and my headcanons).

PSA:

SOME OF THIS INFORMATION COULD BE OUTDATED, i haven't researched Bipolar in 2-3 years so if anything is wrong i'd like to address the fact that i am NOT a professional! also some/most of this is personal experiences and researches i've done!

now that that's out of the way. let's start rambling!

What is bipolar disorder?

From someone whos lived with both parents struggling with BD (Bipolar Disorder) (my mom shows heavy signs of it, but is not diagnosed, my dad is) it is very much possible i could have it too, but both BPD and BD have a lot in common but are still very different (symptoms). They both have severe mood swings, They share some symptoms, such as depression and impulsive behavior. The main thing that separates them is that BPD is a Personality disorder and Bipolar is a Behavioral Mood Disorder. BD is characterized by periods of extreme highs and lows, known as manic and depressive episodes. BPD affects how individuals perceive and interact with the world around them.

They are very hard to differentiate in a patient and people usually get misdiagnosed, the symptoms are VERY similar which is why it isn’t common to diagnose minors. (it’s not impossible to be diagnosed with both as a minor.) (this is what my doctors have shared with me)

a little tangent- my dad was diagnosed with BD at a very young age (i’d say 12 or/to 16) and it was only diagnosed because he had several…”episodes” (he broke several laws and maybe/probably committed a few felonies.) i don’t know much about my dad’s past, but from what my grandpa and him have told me he’s been bailed out of jail/juvie a lot. He was not medicated because he didn’t like what the medications did to him, so that’s probably why he was so “EXTREME”.

His episodes lasted for a while sometimes 3-4 months or less, but my episodes (i have BPD) can last a few months as well(but around 2-3 months), because of clinical depression(major depressive episodes) which is a huge symptom of BPD, the longest episode i’ve had was maybe two and a half months and it happens a lot about once-twice a year, with no rhyme or reason. i'm looking into getting diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder because i have a lot of symptoms that concern me, but it's possible i was misdiagnosed with BPD(i doubt it because of the symptoms i experience) it is very much possible i could have both, which is why i need to figure it out, it's dangerous for me to not be medicated properly.

Does Toby canonically have bipolar?

If you don’t know enough about something (BD) you shouldn’t create a character with said things (BD) or at least do research before. In my opinion Toby has a personality disorder, although I cannot quite pinpoint which. If i could psycho-analyze (it’s been a while since i’ve taken a full blown look at the entirety of the character.) he most likely struggles with Bipolar but it was misdiagnosed with BPD he also shows some symptoms and traits of someone with ASPD. TECHNICALLY he has canonical BPD through his behavior, but the creator of his character "misdiagnosed" him and gave him Bipolar disorder, but it's totally okay to headcanon him with something else (or something more "fitting") or just projecting, all of it is fine to some extent.

Do you headcanon Toby to have bipolar?(or a personality disorder)

Yes, to put it simply he has potential to be a multi-faceted character, and I know a lot of people like to project onto creepypasta characters in general, as a coping skill. Toby is also “canonically” “Bipolar” i use both of those terms loosely. As someone with (possible) Bipolar and has lived around those with Bipolar I’d be open to writing his character with Bipolar, as an informed writer I would prefer people to at least do research on the subject before making assumptions on how the character would behave/think. Overall if the character’s experience is written well I wouldn't mind reading it. I do not condone misinformation, but i do condone learning about it for a passion project such as writing. As someone who hasn’t struggled with ASPD i don’t necessarily feel comfortable writing it but if i did a decent amount of research for the character and the disorder it could change my mind as long as i get outsider viewpoints.

How to properly write Toby with bipolar?

do not romanticize it not getting treated, as someone who struggles with a disorder not getting treated, it is definitely damaging to my mental and physical health. so writing for a character who isn't being treated for something is something i'm a bit iffy on- but if you do research and don't go overboard, it could end up being really good for awareness.

(i headcanon that he was originally on medication but he didn't take into account the fact that he needs his medications, so he basically fucked himself over and regrets it (subconsciously) after a manic episode of course)

there is an author(s) who does a really good job writing his character with Bipolar/BPD if you are interested in reading their work dm me!/inbox me!

maybe write about how his work relationships would be impacted, and how his friendships would be, his romantic relationships all of it, don't just focus on "ooo i'm mentally ill" it would not only affect him but it would also impact those around him by whether or not they know about his Bipolar disorder and if they know hes having an episode.

it would probably, a few times, get him caught by the law given the fact that people with bipolar are very indecisive and it would mostly be chalked up to him being like "this is wrong, i don't want to do this anymore" to "ARSON!!!" (bad analogy but you get it) his emotions and feelings on the matter of is job would fluctuate all the time, even while he's on the job. it leads him to be erratic and spontaneous. he isn't a very reliable partner, which is why he probably only goes on single missions.

i feel like if he were to be medicated it would be at the expense of Tim's medications since toby can't get his hands on other medications that are used for mood swings and such.

What do manic episodes look like? How would they effect Toby?

"Manic episodes are very intense highs in mood and energy. Despite what people say, real manic episodes are only experienced in people with bipolar disorder" @necroromantics

this is true, as someone with BPD, my "manic" episodes depend on someone that is my FP (favorite person) and when i am not having a "high" of energy i'm usually numb and my "manic" episodes are usually only an hour long or the amount of time that i am with my FP. BPD cannot get Manic.

although there are two branches of Bipolar, Bipolar 1 which is characterized as many manic episodes and less depressive episodes but Bipolar 2 is characterized as many major depressive episodes, that usually last a lot longer than the manic episodes. (this is worded as simply)

"A very real danger of manic episodes is that some people experience co-occurring psychosis alongside their episodes, such as delusions and hallucinations." @necroromantics

another thing Toby struggles with is hallucinations of his deceased sister Lyra.

"These highs can also lead to dangerous acts due to the recklessness and lack of proper judgement on whats safe/smart in that moment. There is also hypomania, which is a lesser, more mild form of mania." @necroromantics

you are mixing up both Bipolars... they are separated (from the studies i've done/researched)

Manic Episodes-

it would all depend on how exactly he feels/ the situation and how the writer decides to portray that. (if the writer is properly informed of course)

What do depressive episodes look like? How would they effect Toby?

"They typically last longer than manic episodes, usually about 1+ months." @necroromantics

this depends on whether or not it's Bipolar 1 or Bipolar 2, this is the "definition" of a Bipolar 2 Depressive episode. bipolar 2 episodes can occur for longer than a month, that is correct. bipolar 1 has longer manic "highs" than bipolar 2, bipolar 2 barely gets manic "highs" and when they do it's not for very long. (from what my doctors have told me/what i've seen in my dad (he has bipolar 1))

as someone who has seen these symptoms and had them i can assure you they are not fun, especially dealing with them WITHOUT proper medications, although currently i am very "manic" and getting a lot of shit done, kinda like i'm on adderall rn lol.(that's the closest comparison i can make to how I AM feeling.)

"He would probably disappear for a bit, to be left alone, because he doesn't want to be around anybody. He would spend his time sleeping as much as he can, and then the rest of his time doing proxy work, and then going back to sleep." @necroromantics

i wouldn't say sleeping is all he's doing, when i have depressive episodes (which episodes are different for everyone) i tend to go off my diet, make a lot of other regrettable decisions(EX: relapse, forget important stuff, become more "lazy" etc.) that prolong my episode. but sleep can also be affected such as; getting too much sleep or struggling with sleeping (i.e waking up every hour to every few hours).

What are mixed episodes?

"This can look like feeling super energetic, but also horribly hopeless and depressed, or being on top of the world one minute, and then wanting to off yourself the next. They are very intense, and dangerous. It feels like you're losing your mind, and you can't catch yourself." @necroromantics

i am going to add to this. not only will you be super energetic but you'll want to do so much but have no energy to do it, like lets say you had a great art idea, oc idea, and writing idea, but you would be too unmotivated to do any of it. sometimes you can't pinpoint what to feel/what you're feeling, and that's totally okay! confusing, annoying but still its completely okay.

I'm free to answer with my personal experience, and headcanons and prior knowledge of mental health about any creepypasta characters! DM me or inbox me!

"I've always questioned what everyone thinks is funny, or what I think of what it is... But I think I found the meaning of it... And I will plunge the world with the things I find hilarious." -Saturn Rocksli

Saturn Rockli is the second youngest child of her family, born from a mother with 10 different spouses with her father being one of them. Yet despite the lots of spouses in the polygamous household and many half siblings, Saturn had a decent life without any sorts of questions about the relations of her parents. The girl was mostly born normally, despite the fact that she was blessed by the Goddess of Chaos in her birth who had a connection with her father(Who himself was a chaotic man with several felonies, only for her mother to bail him out each time).

As a young child, she was once normal who had no despicable thoughts in her system.. that was until... the little girl found herself kidnapped during one of her playtimes by a band of an illegal circus family as she was forced to be a circus clown during her time there. The little girl found herself beaten and mentally abused through the acts of clownery, trying to dig in her mind of how she would act for everyone to find her "funny", in which... Disturbed her mind as a single question grew within her during these times.

"What do people consider funny?"

It took around 2 years until the illegal circus was caught by the authorities, causing those involved in the act to be arrested while the ones kidnapped were taken and traced to be sent back to their families, some having to be sent to a hospital due to the injuries they sustained, some having to be sent to a mental institute for rehabilitation due to the effects done by the circus.

The young child was sent to a child therapist during these events. It was unknown how it had affected her for some time from the event as the poor lass was silent for some time, though it didn't take until she found herself back in her feet... Somehow.

During the times of her being back home, the young child became somewhat... Unhinged in some ways, along with now slowly becoming one who is chaotic by nature, often turning the whole house upside down due to her constant needs for pranks and clownery. She is mostly seen smiling and laughing at things that she somewhat thinks are hilarious, despite that some of them were... Not at all that quite hilarious. Her humour slightly grew concerning over the years to the point where one of her mother's spouses called her a "Devil Child".

During these times, her chaotic energy grew as she became much more disturbed, finding her actions hilarious, which caught an interest in one of these... Students.

Things passed after that, she now found herself to be serving an entity that the so-called "Students" had recommended to her. The girl grew a persona in which she dressed as what she finds to be entertaining for her "audiences".

She was given all sorts of magic at her disposal due to the loyalty she had given to this entity, one of which suits her acts of clownery, and as well as the ability to go through different universes and timelines. Though despite this given ability, she found herself to target her own universe.

... To make the world funny and cause discord and chaos.

Jonathan Nicholson at HuffPost:

On the first night of their national convention, Democrats highlighted three stories of how abortion restrictions after Roe v. Wade was overturned had hurt women and couples, hoping to underscore the importance of reproductive rights in one of the most poignant presentations Monday night. The message: Abortion bans put lives at risk. Giving the stage over to one couple and two women who had experienced the harm of abortion hurdles in the prime-time window of the convention’s first night shows how important Democrats see the issue for Kamala Harris’ presidential race.

An Economist/YouGov poll taken from Aug. 11 to Aug. 13 found that 75% of respondents said abortion rights were “very” or “somewhat” important to them, with 81% of female respondents feeling that way. Former President Donald Trump, who is campaigning while out on bail after his felony convictions in New York state, has said the U.S. Supreme Court’s June 2022 decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which tossed out Roe’s almost 50-year precedent, was good because it sent the issue of abortion to the states rather than preserving a national right. But many states have enacted total or near-total bans on abortion, and others have made abortions conditional on medical diagnoses that the woman’s life is in danger, which in turn has led to women being denied treatment until they were close to dying. “Because of Donald Trump, more than one in three women of reproductive age in America lives under an abortion ban. A second Trump term would rip away even more of our rights,” said Amanda Zurawski, who stood with her husband, Josh, on an otherwise darkened stage to discuss her experience in Texas.

[...] Kaitlyn Joshua, who was denied care in Louisiana, said she had to go to several medical facilities to confirm she was miscarrying. “Two emergency rooms sent me away. Because of Louisiana’s abortion ban, no one would confirm that I was miscarrying. I was in pain, bleeding so much my husband feared for my life,” she said. “No women should experience what I endured but too many have.” Hadley Duvall of Kentucky, the third speaker, said she had been raped by her stepfather and became pregnant at the age of 12. “I can’t imagine not having a choice. But today that’s the reality for many women and girls across the country because of Donald Trump’s abortion bans,” she said. Kentucky is listed as one of the 14 states that now have a total ban on abortion, according to the Guttmacher Institute.

At the DNC Monday night, three women (alongside a man who was the husband of one of the speakers) who were harmed by their state’s abortion ban laws spoke the truths about how abortion bans harm women. #DNC2024 #DemConvention

So I wanted to wait and let the new Bad Batch trailer sink in before posting about it.

Warnings: Spoilers, some thoughts/opinions will be critical

Alright so I don’t think it’s any secret that I don’t care for the Bad Batch. Even ignoring the horrible, incredibly RACIST clone model, the writing is mid/passable at best and not even watchable for me. Most of S1 and 2 combined is the typical ‘mission of the week’ type of story where only a few Empire-focused episodes stand out. There are also instances of ableism concerning Echo in particular (CF99 are also super dismissive of him in general—going along with that whole fucking ‘superiority over regs’ thing—seriously wtf).

Most episodes were very bland and predictable. S1 had no stakes despite its finale. By Mando/ST it’s clear that something has happened to Kamino. Didn’t really need to see a 2pt ep of the city getting wiped. Plus AZI should’ve been sacrificed. Even Ahsoka learns the lesson that you can’t save everyone in S1 when she disobeys Anakin and Admiral Yularen. TBB S2 had no character development from anyone besides a little bit for Omega (and Tech—but that was always speculated by fans since S1 and he’s dead now so it doesn’t really matter). A lot of the dialogue felt…basic. I think the only thing that TBB does well is the music. It’s really amazing and beautiful along with the smooth, crisp animation/scenery. Shame they ruined it with racist clone models, racist tones with the ‘reg’ dispute in both seasons, and being ableist and dismissive towards Echo.

Which brings me to the trailer. Oh boy. First, right off the bat I noticed how similar the trailer opening is compared to the S2 trailer. I do like that Phee is back. She did take time to grow on me but I do like her character and am curious to see where they will go with her.

It’s interesting we are seeing Crosshair back with the group so soon. Personally I do believe that is Crosshair and not just someone else wearing his armor like some think. I like the idea of Omega and Crosshair escaping early on but Omega gets recaptured/separated and taken back to Tantiss.

I’m interested in Hemlock and his backstory (is his gloved hand robotic?). I wish they’d create more interesting and unique characters like Phee and Fennec Shand instead of relying on cameos of established characters/fan-favorites like Ventress. I loved Dark Disciple and I thought it was a great ending for her.

I know it’s officially said that Ventress’ story will follow Dark Disciple but I don’t see how unless they retcon her death or pull a ‘somehow she survived’. Either way that sucks. Reminder!! DAVE FELONY DIDN’T EVEN FOLLOW REBELS FOR AHSOKA. SABINE IS NOT FORCE SENSITIVE IN REBELS. DAVE RETCONS THE SHIT OUT OF EVERYTHING. I have no faith that they will remain loyal to DD. Anything that will be ‘canon’ will be mid at best because even Crosshair’s arc has been messy (which is due to the weird S1 ‘reset’ the characters go through. Like they totally should’ve appreciated ‘regs’ by the end of TBB arc in TCW S7–there was no need for that awkward food fight scene in S1).

I hate that this show has to rely on cameos to get the viewing numbers. Here is a list of every character cameo we’ve seen so far:

—Rex*

—Tarkin*

—Palpatine*

—The Lawquane Family

—The Syndullas/Chopper

—Nala Se/Lama Su*

—Cad Bane

—Bail Organa

—Riyo Chuchi

—Gungi

—Gregor

—Wolffe

—Cody

—Scorch

—Saw Gerrera

—Martez Sisters

—Kanan/Depa*

—Muchi/Rancor from RotJ

—Taun We/Halle Burtoni

—Ventress

*I consider these important/relevant cameos and am not bothered by them like the others*

What a list right? I might even be missing one. These were just off the top of my head. Some are big players, others smaller and almost not-relevant to the plot. Not counting the one’s I asterisked, it’s 15 characters. There are original characters but a lot of them, especially in S1 felt like one off, not important characters. And I hate Cid so much—glad to see she was absent in the S3 trailer. I’m really starting to love Phee and I’ve always loved Fennec Shand, and Hemlock is definitely an intriguing villain and Emerie feels like a total mystery (though the reveal was not shocking due to the similar design and accent to Omega). Like why can’t they create more characters like these? The rest just feel forgettable. And it’s clear that characters like Saw, Gungi, Scorch, Cad Bane and even the Syndulla and Lawquane families just felt like fan service. The rest kind of make sense that they’d show up but it also feels a bit like fan service.

Moving on..

I know a lot of people think that new weird dark trooper at the 1:40 mark is Tech. While I’m inclined to agree as I think the ‘Winter Soldier’ story is an obvious choice to pick, I also think that Tech is dead. I’ve changed my mind and kind of hope that Tech isn’t brought back.

I hope this is someone new. I also wouldn’t mind if it was a bounty hunter we’ve seen before. Due to the frame and stature, I could almost think of Boba due to him being older than Omega but it’s definitely more likely to be Tech than either of these choices.

It’s interesting a lot of cameo characters from S2 do not make an appearance in the trailer. Bail, Riyo, Gungi, Gregor and Cody are all absent from the trailer. Trailers usually show action shots to avoid story spoilers, but with Gungi, Gregor, and Cody all being capable fighters, I’m surprised they didn’t appear (usually stuff with politics is a story spoiler).

Overall I’m skeptical of the trailer. I don’t like Ventress being alive/in TBB being a Dark Disciple lover. There’s a lot of mystery surrounding the story of S3 so I don’t feel like I can give an accurate take on that. I hate how Omega’s longer hair looks. Curly haired Omega is adorable!! The animation (everything but the clone model) is definitely getting better. However, based on how S2 was marketed as a ‘darker story compared to S1’ and was like 80% fetch quest I’m definitely skeptical.

Those of you that made it through this post, thank you for your time and I hope I gave you something to think about. If you wanna learn more about the racism and ableism portrayed in this show, check out @unwhitewashthebadbatch for more info.

"After days of uncertainty and speculation, it’s actually happened: Former President Donald Trump has officially been indicted by a Manhattan grand jury on charges of, reportedly, more than 30 counts related to business fraud.

The charges are still under seal, but they are expected to be related to Trump’s involvement in hush money payments made to porn performer Stormy Daniels and associated efforts to falsify business records. The indictment is a historic one, making Trump the only former president who’s ever been criminally charged.

The news begs a key question: What is an indictment, anyway?

Basically, it means a person is formally being charged with a felony by a grand jury. Charging someone in this manner is required in many felony cases, like the one involving Trump. As laid out by the New York State Constitution, Trump had to be indicted by a grand jury before prosecutors could proceed further. Now that he has been, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg is able to coordinate [Trump's] surrender and pursue a trial.

“When a person is indicted, they are given formal notice that it is believed that they committed a crime,” notes the Department of Justice. “The indictment contains the basic information that informs the person of the charges against them.”

An indictment [note: pronounced in-die-t-ment] is a key step in criminal cases such as this one. First, a prosecutor decides to pursue a case against a person and presents witnesses and evidence in front of what’s known as a grand jury. The grand jury — a randomly selected group of 16 to 23 people — will weigh the information and then decide whether they believe there is probable cause that this person committed a crime and if there should be a trial...

If at least 12 jurors believe there is probable cause and vote to indict, then the person is officially charged and the case has the potential to go to trial. The grand jury does not determine if a person is guilty or not guilty like a trial jury does, however.

Understanding the Trump indictment

What is an indictment?

What happens next?

Can Trump still run for president?

What is the Republican response?

What will this mean for Trump’s 2024 campaign?

In Trump’s case, enough members of the Manhattan grand jury concluded that there is sufficient evidence to charge him with a crime. The indictment includes specific information about the charges and explains what laws the jurors believe Trump broke.

At this point, courts have not ruled on whether he is guilty or not; the grand jury has simply determined that he should be charged and that the case can go to trial. Following an indictment, a prosecutor can decide whether to pursue these charges or to drop them if there’s insufficient evidence. That the process appears to be going forward signals Bragg believes in the grand jury’s findings.

Trump’s next step is to surrender to law enforcement and have the charges read to him in court in what’s known as an arraignment. Trump is reportedly expected to turn himself in on Tuesday, when he’ll be taken into police custody and arrested, at which point his fingerprints and mugshot will also be taken.

He’ll then be arraigned later in the day, when he’ll be able to enter how he pleas in the case. After that, he’ll likely be able to leave without bail since the charges he faces are nonviolent felonies. [Note: apparently this is a recently implemented New York law, not just massive racism and classism in the legal system.]

The trial process for the case could ultimately be a drawn-out one since Trump is expected to contest the charges. If convicted, he could be sentenced to as much as four years in prison, the penalty for falsifying business records."

Published: May 21, 2024

20-year-old woman completely made up story that ‘creepy’ man tried to rape her outside of supermarket, leading him to be wrongly jailed for a month: DA

A man spent a month in jail after being accused of attempting to rape and kidnap a woman in a Pennsylvania supermarket parking lot in April, but there’s just one problem, according to the district attorney: the accuser’s story was completely made up, and she admitted as much when cops confronted her.

The startling turn of events in Bucks County was announced Monday, as 20-year-old Anjela Borisova Urumova, identified as a Bristol Township resident, was charged for lying about the attack.

[ Anjela Borisova Urumova in a mug shot (Bucks County DA); the Redner’s supermarket parking lot (WPVI/screengrab) ]

DA Jennifer Schorn’s office said that Urumova falsely accused Daniel Pierson, 41, of pulling her pants down and striking her outside of a Redner’s supermarket in Middleton Township on April 16.

Pierson went on to face felony charges and spent exactly 31 days behind bars before charges were dropped last Friday and he walked free, the DA said, noting that neither surveillance footage nor Urumova’s iPhone corroborated her claims.

“As part of the investigation, Middletown Township Police collected and reviewed available surveillance video from multiple retailers in the area of the reported attack, and a detective with the Bucks County District Attorney’s Office conducted a forensic review of Urumova’s cellphone data,” the DA’s office said. “The review led to the discovery of multiple inconsistencies and contradictory information with Urumova’s account of the attack at the Redner’s parking lot.”

Prosecutors said that police detectives as recently as Friday “confronted” Urumova and got her to admit that she fabricated the allegations.

“This investigation concluded that Urumova falsely reported an attack to police on April 16, and specifically targeted, and later identified, Pierson as her attacker,” the DA’s office added. “Urumova said she gave a description of his truck and identified him because she had seen him and the truck in the past[.]”

Local ABC affiliate WPVI reported that Urumova admitted she falsely accused Pierson because she’d seen him before and believed him to be “creepy.” The defendant further said that her claimed injuries stemmed from an incident with her grandmother, the report said. The complaint obtained by Law&Crime revealed even more about that.

“Her grandmother, who Urumova claimed suffered from dementia, did not recognize her as she entered the house and threw a plastic object at her, striking her in the lip. This incident allegedly caused the laceration to her lip that she later blamed on Pierson,” court documents said.

Authorities said that the defendant specifically described the nonexistent attacker’s truck as having a “Thin Blue Line” sticker on it.

After investigators tracked Pierson down and put him in a photo lineup the following day, Urumova said she was “60% sure” he was the suspect, documents said.

Court records reviewed by Law&Crime show that Urumova was arraigned Monday on charges for making false reports (two counts), causing false alarm to an agency of public safety, tampering with or fabricating physical evidence, and for “unsworn falsification to authorities” (three counts).

[ Anjela Urumova charges ]

Bail was set at $30,000, records also show. It’s unclear if Urumova has an attorney yet. She turned 20 years old on May 9.

Read the criminal complaint obtained by Law&Crime here.

So, a guy's going about his day, minding his own business and this woman just randomly takes a dislike to him and decides he needs to be disappeared from society.

That's all it took.

Now imagine how much more motivated a spiteful ex or a regretful one-night stand would be. Don't tell me false accusations are rare when they're this easy to make.

Here's the ironic part: studies suggest she's far more likely to be sexually assaulted by another woman in prison than by a man in the free world.

Write about a blackout + SPD Kids 👀

Here's the thing about living on the street for so long: you learn to spot when someone is not at all worth your time because they are totally untrustworthy, and you know when someone has been taken advantage of. Which is a big part of the reason why Z and Jack never imbibe in any sort of alcohol during celebration parties in the aftermath of big battles that could have been the end for all of them. SPD were the good guys, or tried to be the good guys; tried to do the right thing. But with absolute power and authority comes the revelation that some people hide their truest selves under a thin veneer of being charismatic or 'hard but fair' when they're actually sociopaths or narcissists on a power trip. Case in point: both of them have had to bail out a fellow teammate at least once from getting taken advantage of from someone else in the department. Higher officials, fellow trainees, a fan that had only signed up to get closer to B Squad. Syd was the most memorable for Z, because on some level she thought the blonde should have known better. She'd joined the SPD to get away from her fame and family expectations, but she couldn't see vapid compliments and too much presumptuous hand or shoulder touching as a red flags. True, she was a sucker for being flattered, even by some guy that hadn't even finished up the ranks to join D Squad, but Z was red in the face and fully disgusted by the time the little snake made his move. And by then he'd had three clones on him and Z had been shoving a glass of salt in water down Syd's throat; a fourth clone holding a bucket so the smaller Ranger could puke up the little translucent pill that would have looked kind of beautiful if Z didn't know what it was. She'd taken Syd to their shared room while the clones dragged the fucker to Doggie directly, all four of them explaining about old-school drugging and memory loss of the victim and how carrying even one pill was a felony and, "Oh, the bruises? No, he didn't have thought earlier, but that's what happens when you trip into the buffet table." Then of course there was that time the both of them had to take care of poor Bridge when he got into a drinking game with some of C Squad. Perfectly harmless, perfectly friendly, perfectly on the up and up since all of B Squad were participating--except. Except Bridge had a food sensitivity to the crappy beer they'd gotten for the occasion. He'd only had the one bottle and...well. Z and Jack could safely say they had never seen someone throw up that much. They stopped counting after the fifth time and just lifted the poor Green--huh, new pun joke--over their heads like ants picking up a stick and fucking ran for the hospital wing. Jack's worst time being sober, though, was handling Sky in the aftermath of an enemy who could change faces sneaking in after Piggy said something he shouldn't have, after he'd sold something he really shouldn't have, and Sky fell like a tree in the middle of having a simple conversation about getting up early in the morning for training when Jack was trying so very hard to encourage him to relax. Oh, the irony. Of course, yes, Sky did end up "resting" in bed for three days, but it wasn't exactly relaxing since he kept waking up screaming, having no idea where he was, had Kat and Boom trying to take care of him while the other Rangers tracked down the fucker that got to their Blue; and then only really went into a calming supine position when Jack had enough and parked on top of him like an oversized cat. Sky still didn't remember anything when the crap had made its way through his system and he was clear eyed and groggy on the fourth day to find not just Jack parked on top of him, but Z as well. More weight, less flopping around, less waking up terrified. A totally Kodak Moment if there ever was one--which Syd and Bridge were totally okay taking advantage of with their phone cameras when Blue, Yellow, and Red all woke up to turn various shades of what Syd called, "Blush and Bashful."

One night a few months after Mom and my brother moved in, I was coming home with my best friends after dinner and as we pulled up towards my house we could see figures creeping around the house with flashlights looking into the windows of my house. Weirded out, and unthinkably stupid I had my friends let me out of the car a block from my house and I walked up to it, calling out if I could help them. I immediately had flashlights shinning into my eyes as the 2 men rushed up to me. They were police, wanting to know who I was and for my ID. Was I Lisa? Naively I said no, gave them my ID told them this was my house and that Mom was likely inside. They wanted inside and for the first time showing some brains I said I would go in to get her and refused to let them into the house. I walked in, back to the master bedroom and told mom to hide her weed the cops were here. She laughed, clearly thinking I was joking but I was not. In her pajamas she went outside, spoke with the cops for a moment before being arrested. Like a bad dream they loaded her into the cop car in her cartoon bunny pajamas and told me she would be taken to Lake county tonight, but would need to be transferred to orange county before she could be bailed out.

I called my friends back, they drove me over to lake county where I tried to understand how a bond worked. After looking it all up I was told she was being held on multiple felonies including grand theft and check fraud. The bondman said that there were dozens of charges that each had a minimum we had to pay for the bond. As if someone listed the charges in a way that would intentionally set the highest bond. He gave me the total I would need and I was shocked. Not having that I had my friends drive me home. Stuart and I convened and added up what money the two of us had saved. Still not enough. Factoring the title to my car and the trailer still didn’t get us where we needed to be. At almost midnight I picked up the phone and called my grandparents. After having to explain that no I wasn’t joking and yes she had been arrested and how much money we needed I then got to learn how to pick up a Western Union check. Mom got to spend her birthday in jail as we spoke to the bondsman and collected every thing I owned to put on the line to get her out. It should come as no surprise that this was Bryan. Scorned and refusing to be cast aside he twisted everything my mom did under his direction and made it seem like she was some kind of mastermind. The grand theft was taking the work truck, aka her only form of transportation after he told her not to renew her lease, to make grocery runs for his family. Thanks to the help of a public defender, my Mom was found guilty of the charges and was labeled a felon. She could no longer take a job as a bookkeeper, or run a register at any other store thanks to her charges.

After a year or so being the only person working in the house, with all my savings having run dry I needed to get away. Hoping that me being away would be the spark Mom needed to get out there and find another job I planned to move. After a few months planning, I packed up my belongings into my car and moved back to Key West with my Dad. There I worked 3 jobs, saving as much money as I possible could and paid off my car. I visited with my grand parents, hung out with my cousin and tried to form a relationship with my Dad to no avail. After about 10 months, I was burned out and exhausted. Tired from constant bickering with my Dad. I packed up my stuff and moved back to Sorrento.

Just like last time, when I arrived back I was stunned by how much weight my brother had lost. Especially now that he lived so far from any town he had no good options to get food. I moved back onto the sunroom, slept for a few days and then got back to the grind. Mom had gotten a job, but it was only part time as a stocker at a small local grocer. I had gotten a transfer from the Sears in Key West, to the Sears near me and started up in their electronics department.

I had gotten into electronic sales at the ideal time. Flat screens were becoming a thing people wanted, the prices had come down a little bit but CRT tvs were still being sold and people did not really trust that the flat screens would last. Hence, Protection agreements. Even being a mediocre salesperson, people WANTED to buy the protection agreements for flat screens. In Key West it had been super easy, we were one of only 2 places in town that sold tvs and we were closer to Cuba than the nearest Walmart. Once I moved back to Orlando, you could buy a tv anywhere. Additionally, the department was already stuffed full of salespeople, so shifts were slim and the profits were meager. I started working part time as a stocker for Old Navy, helping to unload the trucks and put the clothes out on the floor. But I wasn’t scheduled consistently and eventually that just fell away.

So when an opportunity to work overnights as security at the airport popped up, I took it. This was in the time where, I was very cutting edge with a portable dvd player and a hand full of disks I could watch. But otherwise, the night shift was a lonely one out on the dark tarmac. Every couple of hours a truck would come by and I’d write down the info for the people on board and where they were headed but that was about it. The new routine was working at Sears from 3-9, grabbing some frozen food from 7-11 with a Big Gulp of soda and getting to the airport by 11. That shift would run from 11p-7a, then I’d drive the hour home and sleep before popping up to do it over again.

Thinking I didn’t have enough to do, I took another job. I went back to the dog training facility I had been working at before I left. My friend was the manager again, she said the owners were coming in very little these days and I wouldn’t have to the deal with them anymore.

This meant that I was working 2 jobs 6 days a week. With Sears being before the night shift at the library and dog training being in the morning after the night shift in the library. And on super fun days, I’d work all 3.

Over time this obviously became something I wasn’t able to continue. Sears fell away first, then the airport gig leaving just the Dog Training again. Over 10 years I worked that job, from a kennel tech, to apprentice to trainer. The job was incredibly rewarding and gave me the opportunity to travel to places and experience things I never would have been able to afford to do or would have had to will to chance. The owner though, were vindictive self centered people who ultimately became so concerned with their own wealth rather than the care of the dogs that it was impossible to move forward. When the two of them divorced they tore the company to pieces to spite each other and the next chapter of my life began.

Knowing the company was flailing, I took a ‘Casual’ position at Disney as a photographer. I had never used a DSLR before, but did have a passion for taking photos. When I mentioned that in the interview, the hiring manager smiled and said he wouldn’t be able to hire me for photographer but that we could look into food services. Disappointed I agreed but then remembered I had brought a portfolio and offered it to him to review. It worked, and the portfolio was enough to get me the gig taking photos. The cool thing was being a casual employee at this time at Disney, was you were asked what your availablity was, and then you may or may not be scheduled to work. However, you could also ‘pick up’ other peoples shifts so you really had the ability to adjust your hours at will. Additionally, the stay ‘casual’ you had to work at least 80 hours a year. That status came with the perk of being able to get into parks and have a cast member discount which was pretty nice. The issue for me, was Disney is an hour away at the best of times, and upwards of 2 hours away in the worst of times. You’d have the park in the employee lot, scan in, take a bus to property, walk some more to base before actually clocking in. It was a lot of prep and when you’re starting out a lot of your shifts are the ‘breaker’ shifts for full time cast members. So you could be scheduled to come in for 4 hours so everyone could rotate out of their breaks. You’d work less than you drove for a shift. Other times you’d really win out and could pick up someones 10 hour character shift, and those days were epically glorious.

I was based out of Animal Kingdom and the only thing you really need to know about it, is that it’s wildly humid all the time. My first week I wore a hair band to keep the fly aways out of my face under my hat. I started to notice my scalp was sensitive and that night we discovered that under the band was now a ring of heat pimples from lack of air flow. Our uniform was navy blue shorts or pants, a belt, a white undershirt, a button up white shirt, a khaki vest and a floppy hat. We also carried our cameras with flashes, a PDA like a brick, a scanner that was wired to the PDA and a pouch full of extra batteries for our camera and flash. We also had a bottle of water wrapped in black neoprene and pockets full of additional cards to scan the photos we took incase the customer didn’t have one yet or a wristband.

It didn’t take long to become tired. The downside of being a casual photographer is you don’t get to know anybody. You work alone out in the park, you go to break with a bunch of people from all over that you don’t know, and since you’re only in once or twice a month you may not even encounter the same people at base. Especially coming from Dog Training, where I worked with 3 people every single day, where we worked hard with and for each other. Where we celebrated and teased each other and commiserated over drinks and wings at the end of a hard week. Traveling across the country together, sometimes to other countries and depended on each other each day…this was a shock.

Once Dog Training fully ended, and available good shifts at Disney started to dwindle I had to look for a full time job. I found myself the University of DogLand. A hybrid training, daycare, enrichment facility with big aspirations. I submitted an application, did a phone interview, and then the owner asked me to come see her for an in person interview. However, she had recently had a baby and asked if I would come to her home to do the final interview. I agreed and drove out to her place, getting an idea of how long a commute this was going to be for me. A hefty one. I arrived at her home, was let inside by her husband and then shown to, strangely, her bedroom. Her husband left and I stood awkward at the foot of her bed while the owner had a serious business discussion with me, a baby nursing from her as she was tucked into bed, reclining against the headboard. This wasn’t a quick meeting, but ran nearly 2 hours as I was grilled about my experience, told that training experience was actual a detriment to learning the DogLand way. I heard about the dreams of the owner for DogLand, of having 40 acres with trails that dogs could roam freely, get dirty and be dogs. It seemed wonderful and crazy. The idea of managing dozens of animals over acres was terrifying and thrilling to consider. Her passion took me over, I suddenly desperately wanted to be a part of this wild idea, all the while I slowly became ambivalent to seeing my new boss breastfeed. This should have been a sign, and indeed was a very good indication of how things would unfold for me here.

Around my second year with DogLand, I had left Disney because I wasn’t able to make the 80 hour a year cutoff. I was working just at DogLand but was running myself into the ground. Shifts started at 6 each morning, which meant I had to be up by 4am and on the road by 4:30. I paid over 10$ in tolls each way, and then would work dogs across 4 acres. By the end of an average day I had walked 15 miles. Lunch was taken as a group but you had to still manage all the dogs during that time so you weren’t really off. Then bathing up to 15 dogs and blowing out every dog on property after a day in the field. Then training which could last until 10pm. Drive home. Sleep. Do it again. All without insurance, paid time off or holidays. Rain, heat, frost or shine you were outside with the dogs.

I knew this was not long term, my previous training was more of a hinderance than a bonus to the owner and despite good reviews I was still making less than I had been at the original dog training place. I went in search of my ‘Big Girl’ job, one I could see myself retiring from. I found the library.

A happy Dewali, to those who observe it. Now that Halloween is over maybe my local grocery store will take down some of the graveyard trappings ("Rest in Peace" etc.) Too morbid for an old guy like me.

More insults from the Trump camp. He suggests that Liz Cheney is a chicken hawk, wanting war. Says Liz should go into battle. Should be shot at. Funny for him (the coward of all time) to say. A man whose, uh, bone spurs kept him from serving.

It is said that Trump may have violated his bail agreement by having made what sounded so much like a death threat. It's woefully complicated but in a felony case, we are told, someone awaiting sentencing cannot pose a danger to the community, or to even one person. Trump has never followed any rules. And Trumpists carry signs that say "I'm for the felon."

The weather is ideal.

Election time draws ever nearer. A friend suggests there could be a civil war. Trump is expected to announce his victory on Wednesday morning.

Donald on the campaign trail, sounding ever more wacky and deranged. Odd how certain words have found a place in the verbal battle, and become cudgels. "Weird"..."Fascist"..."garbage." That last one getting quite a ride, with Donnie dressed as a garbage man.

Evening: Pre Marathon fireworks in Central Park. A yearly event ; We are told there will be 50,000 participants.

How Much is a Bail Bond? Breaking Down the Costs and Fees

Determining how much is a bail bond costs is essential for anyone navigating the legal system. The cost of a bail bond typically varies based on several factors, including the type of crime, the bail amount set by the court, and the state’s regulations. Generally, bail bonds are priced at a percentage of the total bail amount, usually between 10% and 15%. Additional fees may apply, such as service charges or collateral requirements. It’s important to consult with a licensed bail bondsman to understand the exact cost in your specific situation. Knowing how much a bail bond will cost can help you make informed decisions and plan accordingly during a legal emergency.

How Much is a Bail Bond? Factors Affecting the Cost

Understanding how much is a bail bond costs involves considering various factors that influence the final price. Typically, the cost of a bail bond is a percentage of the total bail amount set by the court, usually ranging from 10% to 15%. Factors such as the severity of the offense, the defendant's criminal history, and flight risk can affect this percentage. Additionally, local regulations and the bail bond agency’s policies may introduce variations in cost. For example, a more serious charge or a high bail amount could lead to higher costs or additional fees. Consulting with a bail bondsman can provide a clearer understanding of how much a bail bond will cost based on your specific situation.

How Much is a Bail Bond for Misdemeanors vs. Felonies?

When determining how much is a bail bond costs, it’s crucial to distinguish between misdemeanors and felonies. Generally, bail for misdemeanors is lower compared to felonies due to the perceived lower risk and severity of the offense. The cost of a bail bond for a misdemeanor may be lower, often around 10% of the bail amount. Conversely, felonies usually involve higher bail amounts and thus higher bail bond costs, which can be around 15% or more. The specific charge and associated risks also play a role. Understanding how much a bail bond is for different types of offenses can help in planning and budgeting for legal proceedings.

How Much is a Bail Bond in Different States?

The cost of a bail bond varies significantly across different states due to differing regulations and legal practices. In some states, the percentage charged for a bail bond may be regulated by law, while others allow bail bond companies to set their rates within certain limits. For instance, California might have a standard rate of 10%, whereas New York could have a different percentage or additional fees. Additionally, state-specific factors such as the nature of the offense and local regulations impact the total cost. Understanding how much is a bail bond costs in different states is essential for accurately anticipating expenses during legal situations.

How Much is a Bail Bond if You Have Bad Credit?

If you have bad credit, you might wonder how much is a bail bond will cost you. While your credit score does not directly impact the percentage charged for a bail bond, it can affect the terms and conditions set by the bail bond agency. Agencies might require collateral or additional fees to mitigate the risk associated with bad credit. This could increase the overall cost of securing a bail bond. It’s important to discuss your financial situation with the bail bondsman to understand how much a bail bond will be under these circumstances and explore available options.

How Much is a Bail Bond When Collateral is Required?

When collateral is required for a bail bond, the cost can be higher due to additional requirements. Typically, bail bonds are priced at a percentage of the bail amount, but if collateral is needed, it’s usually to secure the bond or reduce the risk for the bail bond company. This means you might need to provide assets such as property or vehicles as security, which can impact the overall cost. Understanding how much is a bail bond will be when collateral is involved helps in preparing for the financial commitment and ensuring you meet the conditions set by the bail bond agency.

How Much is a Bail Bond for High Bail Amounts?

The cost of a bail bond for high bail amounts is generally proportionate to the bail set by the court. For high bail amounts, the percentage charged by bail bond companies remains consistent, typically between 10% and 15%. However, the overall cost can be substantial due to the higher base amount. For instance, if the bail is set at $100,000, a 10% bond would cost $10,000. This significant cost reflects the risk and responsibility assumed by the bail bond company. Understanding how much is a bail bond will cost for high bail amounts can help in preparing financially for such situations.

How Much is a Bail Bond Understanding Upfront Costs?

Understanding how much is a bail bond will cost includes knowing the upfront costs involved. Typically, bail bonds are priced as a percentage of the total bail amount, but additional fees may apply. These fees could include administrative costs, processing charges, or service fees. It’s important to clarify these costs with the bail bond agency before committing. Knowing the full range of upfront costs helps in budgeting and ensures there are no unexpected financial burdens during the bail process. A clear understanding of how much a bail bond will cost, including any extra fees, can facilitate smoother legal proceedings.

Conclusion

Determining how much is a bail bond costs involves considering various factors such as the type of offense, location, and specific requirements set by the bail bond agency. Costs generally include a percentage of the total bail amount, typically ranging from 10% to 15%, with potential additional fees for collateral or expedited services. By understanding these elements, you can better prepare financially and make informed decisions during a legal emergency. Consulting with a licensed bail bondsman will provide precise information tailored to your situation, ensuring you are fully aware of the costs and requirements involved.

Understanding Felony and Its Charges

Few words in the legal sphere conjure up as much seriousness and ramifications as "felony." With its origins firmly ingrained in judicial systems across the globe, a felony represents more than just a misdemeanor; it is an act of great social transgression that frequently carries heavy consequences.

Felons include a wide range of misconduct, from violent crimes to white-collar crimes, and each one necessitates a close investigation of the evidence, the offender's motive, and the consequences. These crimes, which lie on the line between misdemeanors and felonies, represent a turning point in the legal system where the consequences of illegal activity become more serious.

What Is a Felony?

A serious offense for which a person may get a sentence of more than one year in prison is referred to as a "felony." In addition, a prisoner serving a term for a felony is normally housed in a state or federal prison as opposed to a local or county jail.

How Does a Felony Differ from Other Types of Crimes?

There are many ways that felony charges differ from those of other criminal prosecutions:

If you are found guilty of a felony, you may be arrested and held in custody right away. You would also probably need to post bail in order to be freed. Arrest and detention are also possible outcomes of misdemeanor charges (not only violations).

A convicted felon may get the death sentence in states where it is legal. Convictions for misdemeanors do not allow for the death penalty.

You can ask the court to assign an attorney to represent you pro bono, or at no expense to you, if you are accused with a felony but cannot afford legal representation. Generally speaking, defendants in minor cases are not entitled to court-appointed legal counsel.

When a felony is committed, the fines imposed might be far greater than when a misdemeanor or infraction is committed. While some misdemeanor convictions in some places, including Alaska, may result in fines of up to $25,000, felonies can carry fines of up to hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Expungements of felonies are much more difficult, if not impossible, to obtain, and usually require a longer waiting period before the court will grant the request.

While a conviction on a misdemeanor may result in probation once the term is completed, a conviction on a felony has extra lifetime restrictions in addition to probation:

A convicted felon may lose the right to vote.

A convicted felon may not be able to hold public office.

A convicted felon may be prevented from owning firearms or certain other weapons.

A convicted felon may be prohibited from holding a professional license.

A grand jury must be called and it must return an indictment in every federal felony proceeding. A grand jury indictment is another need that some states, but not all, have in order to move on with a felony trial.

What Crimes Are Typically Charged as Felonies?

A wide array of criminal wrongs are almost always charged as felonies:

Violent crimes

Homicide offenses, including first-degree murder, second-degree murder, and manslaughter

Robbery—committing a theft through the threat or use of force

Burglary—entering a building or home with the intention of committing a theft offense

Serious sexual offenses, such as rape, human trafficking, child molestation, and child pornography

Serious drug crimes, including manufacturing or cultivating controlled substances, distribution, sale, and trafficking

Property crimes, including malicious destruction, arson, misappropriation of property, and grand theft

White collar crimes, such as fraud, misrepresentation, identity theft, embezzlement, securities fraud, and tax evasion

Can the Same Criminal Act Be Prosecuted as a Misdemeanor or a Felony?

Yes, there are situations where a misdemeanor can rise to the level of a felony and be charged as such:

Statutes frequently provide prosecutors the option to press either misdemeanor or felony charges against a repeat offender. This procedure is frequently used on repeat DUI/DWI offenders.

If the victim falls within one of certain categories—such as being a kid, having mental health issues, or working as a law enforcement officer or other public official—a crime that would normally be charged as a felony.

Depending on whether the defendant's conduct were deemed aggravated or done with wanton disregard for the worth of human life, certain offenses may be classified as felonies or misdemeanors. For instance, if the defendant utilized a gun or other weapon, ordinary assault might escalate to felonious assault.
