#mentally ill. financially insecure and vulnerable adult children

[cirillafionaelenriannon]

my mum is literally mean to me all the time & has always been & has caused me more pain and emotional damage than anyone ive ever known but i literally fell to the floor crying over my dad talking badly about me and that was sooo pathetic to be honest because i couldnt have ever expected anything else and i dont know why it hurt so much. i think it was that he would talk to me in the car and he always had a softer spot for me than my mother did, and when i was a kid we were closer, and then i moved away and i didnt see him for years, so i think it just hurt beyond words to experience such a betrayal of trust so suddenly even just for something so small like ajkehajkehjkdf idk how quickly he sabotaged any remaining chance at a relationship that we had with that and then just everything else going on and on. everything hes done since then hehe

The Shadow of the Scam: Psychological Impacts on Jamaican Youth

Jamaica, an island paradise known for its vibrant culture and warm people, is unfortunately grappling with a dark underbelly: internet scamming. While the economic and social consequences of this crime are widely discussed, the psychological impact on Jamaica's youth often remains in the shadows. Here I will delve into the mental and emotional toll that internet scamming takes on children and young adults aged 10-20 in Jamaica, exploring its influence on their values, aspirations, and overall well-being.

Erosion of Trust and Moral Development:

Exposure to internet scamming, whether directly involved or through observation within their communities, can significantly erode a young person's sense of trust and morality. Witnessing adults engage in deceptive practices for financial gain can create a distorted perception of right and wrong. This can lead to a normalization of dishonesty and a lack of faith in legitimate means of achieving success. Children may internalize the idea that exploiting others is acceptable, hindering their moral development and ability to form healthy relationships built on trust and integrity.

Identity Crisis and Aspirational Shift:

Jamaica's youth are constantly bombarded with images of "scammers" living lavish lifestyles, flaunting their ill-gotten gains. This creates a powerful and dangerous allure, especially for those from disadvantaged backgrounds. Traditional aspirations of education, hard work, and community contribution are replaced by a desire for quick riches and material possessions. This can lead to an identity crisis, where young people struggle to reconcile their values with the perceived "success" of scammers. The pressure to conform to this lifestyle can be immense, leading to feelings of inadequacy and a distorted sense of self-worth.

Anxiety, Fear, and Trauma:

Living in communities where scamming is prevalent exposes young people to violence and its associated trauma. Witnessing or experiencing threats, intimidation, or even violence related to scamming activities can lead to chronic anxiety, fear, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). These mental health challenges can have long-lasting effects, impacting their ability to learn, form relationships, and function in their daily lives. Moreover, the constant fear of being targeted or drawn into scamming networks can create a pervasive sense of insecurity and distrust.

Social Isolation and Disillusionment

The stigma associated with scamming can lead to social isolation for young people living in affected communities. They may be ostracized or judged based on the actions of others, creating a sense of alienation and hopelessness. This can further push them towards the fringes of society, making them more vulnerable to the influence of scammers. Moreover, witnessing the negative consequences of scamming, such as arrests, violence, and community breakdown, can lead to a loss of hope and a loss of faith in the future.

Normalization of Risky Behavior

The "get-rich-quick"/ "every-man-haffi-eat" mentality associated with scamming can desensitize young people to the risks involved in criminal activity. They may be more likely to engage in risky behaviors, such as drug use, gambling, or carrying weapons, believing that the potential rewards outweigh the consequences. This normalization of risky behavior can have devastating consequences, leading to addiction, injury, or even death.

Conclusion:

The psychological impact of internet scamming on Jamaica's youth is a complex and deeply concerning issue. It erodes trust, distorts aspirations, fuels anxiety and trauma, and fosters social isolation. Addressing this crisis requires a multi-faceted approach. We need to:

Strengthen community support: Invest in programs that provide mental health services, mentorship, and positive role models for young people in affected communities.

Promote ethical values: Integrate character education and critical thinking skills into the school curriculum to help young people develop a strong moral compass and resist the lure of easy money.

Create economic opportunities: Address the root causes of scamming by providing youth with access to education, job training, and entrepreneurship opportunities.

Enforce the law: Consistent and effective law enforcement is crucial to deterring scamming activities and dismantling criminal networks, creating safer communities for young people.

Raise public awareness: Launch campaigns to educate young people about the dangers and consequences of internet scamming, empowering them to make informed choices.

By taking proactive steps to address the psychological impact of internet scamming, Jamaica can protect its youth and foster a generation of responsible and ethical citizens. It is crucial to remember that these young people are not just victims of a crime; they are the future of Jamaica. Investing in their well-being is an investment in the future of the nation.

Empowering Elderly Women

As we age, we often find that our bodies and minds no longer function as they once did. This can be especially true for elderly women, who may face additional challenges such as ageism, sexism, and social isolation. However, it is crucial to remember that age should not be a barrier to living a fulfilling life. With the right support and resources, elderly women can continue to thrive and contribute to their communities in meaningful ways. In this article, we will discuss some of the ways that we can empower elderly women and help them lead happy, healthy, and fulfilling lives. One of the most important ways to empower elderly women is by providing them with access to healthcare. As we age, our bodies become more vulnerable to illness and disease, and it is essential that we receive regular check-ups and screenings to maintain our health. Unfortunately, many elderly women do not have access to affordable healthcare, which can lead to untreated medical issues and a lower quality of life. By advocating for universal healthcare and supporting programs that provide affordable healthcare to elderly women, we can ensure that they receive the medical attention they need to stay healthy and active. Another crucial aspect of empowering elderly women is promoting social connections and combating isolation. Many elderly women live alone or in nursing homes, where they may not have regular opportunities to interact with others. This can lead to feelings of loneliness and depression, which can have a negative impact on their physical and mental health. By creating community programs that provide opportunities for elderly women to socialize and engage in activities, we can help them build new friendships and stay connected to their communities. This can include everything from book clubs and exercise classes to volunteer opportunities and community events. In addition to healthcare and social connections, it is important to address the economic challenges that many elderly women face. Women are more likely than men to live in poverty in their old age, due to factors such as wage gaps and time out of the workforce to care for children and elderly relatives. This can lead to financial insecurity and a lack of resources to meet basic needs such as housing and healthcare. By supporting policies that address income inequality and provide social safety nets for elderly women, we can help ensure that they have the resources they need to live comfortably and with dignity in their later years.

Finally, it is important to recognize and celebrate the contributions that elderly women have made to their communities and society as a whole. Too often, older adults are marginalized and devalued, as if their experiences and wisdom are no longer relevant or important. By highlighting the stories and accomplishments of elderly women and giving them opportunities to share their knowledge and skills, we can help to break down ageist stereotypes and promote intergenerational understanding and respect. In conclusion, empowering elderly women requires a multi-faceted approach that addresses their healthcare needs, social connections, economic challenges, and contributions to society. By recognizing the unique challenges that elderly women face and providing them with the support and resources they need, we can help them to live fulfilling and meaningful lives in their later years. By working together as a society to empower our elderly population, we can create a more just and equitable world for all. Read the full article

BTS girlfriend series - Their relationship with the other OC girlfriends

Thanks to the anon poster for the request. 

New readers can find out about our headcanon girlfriends for the BTS members here.

To read each member and their girlfriends’ fics in order, follow links below:

RM   /   Jin /   Suga /   J-Hope   /   Jimin   /   V   /   Jungkook

Our masterlist of fanfics and original art (including art works of the girls) can be found here

& Our most likely to/preferences/quizzes and fun stuff masterlist can be found here

Content below the cut

Their relationships together definitely vary and change over time, and in the end it may not especially matter how long certain girls have known each other. Examples of what we are saying below can be found in many of our fics, and I have highlighted a few at the bottom which show certain friendships.

In the early fics (before any of the members of BTS enlisted within our storyline) there were definitely a few friendships that had started to form between the girls.

Early on, Ji-eun and Min-seo started to spend more time together, though Min-seo always felt a little intimidated and shy around the older woman. Their friendship would have formed because we think Jin and RM would have gone on a lot of double dates together (as well as on holiday), and it is mentioned in certain fics that they have carshared to events and parties together too. RM and Jin would have opened up about having girlfriends to their family, friends and the other members from fairly early on, and I think they both would have considered themselves to be in ‘grown-up relationships’. Ji-eun especially is someone who really craves company, as she is someone with few genuine friendships in her life, so she would have naturally attached on Min-seo for this reason. However, their personalities and temperaments are very different, with Ji-eun being a lot more liberal and open about her sex life. Min-seo would sometimes find her questions quite invasive and would feel somewhat nervous around her, especially when the older woman has been drinking. The amount of time they spent together would have rapidly dropped off once RM enlists in the military because Ji-eun would throw herself into her job to help her forget about it. Furthermore, Min-seo’s pregnancy would definitely cause a bit of a rift between them, because Ji-eun deep down wants to have a family of her own, but also knows it would be at the cost of her career, and hasn’t yet achieved all she wants from her job.

Ji-eun and Cassandra likewise became friends fairly early on, as they both have a lot in common in terms of intelligence and interests, as well as both being a bit more ‘wild’ and loving to drink. Cassandra, inadvertently, would have been the perfect enabler for Ji-eun’s drunken behaviour. While there is a 4 year age gap between them, they would mentally be about the same age and are both open in terms of talking about their sexual experiences. Despite this, however, we don’t think they are especially ‘close’. They both suffer similar problems with having (or not having) many female friends they can confide in and be vulnerable with, but as they are both quite proud, they’d hate to even show that side of themselves to the other. Ji-eun would have only seen how delicate Cassandra actually is when the younger woman told her she was pregnant and struggling financially. While we think Ji-eun is the one who paid for Cassandra to move back to Seoul and stay in her old apartment, we also think the older woman would be secretly judgemental towards her decision to have a baby, especially (as mentioned above with Min-seo) because while her career is much more stable than Cassandra’s and she is financially in a good place to start a family, she knows she can’t without making too many sacrifices. She would see Cassandra as a bit of a mess, and her decision to tell Taehyung that Cassandra is pregnant is partly because she wants to pass on that responsibility to someone else.

Another friendship which formed early on, even before the fics take place, is between Cassandra and Ara who know each other from taking singing lessons together a few years prior. The fact they used to be quite close is revealed through the fact Cassandra owns a colourful rug mentioned in a few fics which Ara once bought her. However, once Cassandra and Taehyung take a break following the roleplay fic, they would slowly lose touch. This would be partially to do with Ara’s new career as an Idol which means she is often very busy, along with Cassandra feeling that she needs to separate herself from that particular group of people. As Jimin and Taehyung are close friends, with Taehyung even staying in the other’s apartment after being kicked out by Cassandra, she would not feel comfortable talking to Ara, knowing that what she says to her might get back to Taehyung via Jimin.

While not close, Cassandra knows she can trust Nana which is why she turned to her (albeit as a last resort) following her big argument with Taehyung.

Jeong-sun and Min-seo establish a connection quite early on when they meet in at Supreme Boi’s Boat Party, with Min-seo being the only person other than J-Hope to truly recognise her and Suga as a loving couple. Unlike with Ji-eun, Min-seo feels really comfortable in the older woman’s presence and finds her a calming and stable influence. Although she doesn’t have much interaction with her, beyond the odd occasion when they bump into each other such as during ‘The Play’, she feels a deep regret when she hears that her and Yoongi have broken up. It should be mentioned that Min-seo likewise feels really comfortable around Yoongi as she recognises that like her, he is quite softly spoken and avoids drama. When she discovers that they have gotten back together, Min-seo would be relieved and happy for them both, as she instinctively liked Jeong-sun and also has a deep fondness for Yoongi and wants him to be happy. Of all the girls, Jeong-sun and Min-seo would become the closest as they grow older, with Jeong-sun acting as a godmother figure to her baby. The younger woman would find a lot of reassurance in Jeong-sun’s knowledge of illnesses and medicine, especially during times when herself or her baby is sick, and Jeong-sun, in turn, would enjoy spending time with Min-seo who she would consider very bright and kind as well as quietly dignified.

I think as the storyline progresses, Jeong-sun and Min-seo would also enjoy spending time with Nana. We can see all three couples cooking for the others, and sometimes having them over for dinner parties. We also think Jeong-sun and Nana would be really great with helping Min-seo as a new mother. Jeong-sun would especially be amused by the fact that Nana is just as ‘away with the fairies’ and hyperactive as Hoseok, and would be fond of her, but probably somewhat relieved when the dinner party is over (we feel the double whammy of having both Hoseok and Nana over would be somewhat exhausting).

Ara would be fond of all the girlfriends, but probably closest later on to Nana and Young-soon. As she’s somewhat younger than them, she would look up to them for advice, especially when having doubts about her career. Both women would seem like people who have a good grasp of who they are as people and professionals, while we think Ara sometimes struggles with understanding what she wants from life. We also think the three women would have in common the fact they were bullied as children/teenagers, which has shaped how they behave as adults. Ara was bullied for her dyspraxia, which would have come across to other children as her being clumsy, as well as the fact she is pretty and had quite a complicated home life, with the other children not realising she had a terminally ill mother to take care of. Nana would have been bullied for her body shape (being tall and very slender) as well as her ‘daydreamy’ personality and somewhat unusual interests. Young-soon we think was bullied due to the mole on her face; something which she is still insecure about as an adult.

Young-soon would likewise enjoy the company of all the girls to varying degrees, but also has her own friendship group she is closer to. She has always tried not to get involved in their various dramas, and actively avoided some of the group settings earlier on in her relationship with Jungkook. We see her and Jungkook naturally becoming more independent as a couple once they move permanently to Incheon, though they would still join the others for the occasional get together. We think Ji-eun might try to ask Young-soon for advice, with them both being a similar age, later on, with the younger woman being surprised at her reaching out.

I think that’s everyone pretty much covered, but more will come to light as the stories progress. Some notable fics which show certain friendships include (but are not limited to):

Boat Party - The dynamics between Ji-eun and Min-seo, as well as Min-seo and Jeong-sun are first revealed

The Play - The growing ‘friendship’ between Ji-eun and Min-seo is highlighted as well as Min-seo and Jeong-sun. The members/gfs opinions on Cassandra are also first brought to light.

A Celebration to Forget - The various friendships between Ji-eun, Min-seo, Cassandra and Ara are highlighted

Jin’s Bachelor Party - Min-seo, Cassandra and Ji-eun spend some awkward ‘girly time’ together. Ara and Nana are also mentioned.

Jin’s Wedding - The dynamics between all the girls (except Jeong-sun) are shown. There is also an accompanying fanart of a scene which shows J-Hope, Nana, Young-soon, Cassandra, Ji-eun and Ara laughing and joking while waiting for the ceremony.

Refuge - Nana and Cassandra share an unexpectedly tender moment together when Cassandra flees her apartment after a frightening encounter with her boyfriend

Trouble in Paradise - One of the last times Ji-eun and Min-seo spend some time together during a double date holiday

A Reunion - All girlfriends except Cassandra are present and share interactions. Cassandra is mentioned several times in passing by the girls. Also the first time Jeong-sun is formally introduced to the group.

Home Again - Young-soon and Nana share a moment together when Nana visits her apartment to collect some unwanted candles the older woman is giving away

Expecting - Jeong-sun and Min-seo spend some quality time together before the younger woman gives birth.

𝑪𝑯𝑨𝑹𝑨𝑪𝑻𝑬𝑹 𝑺𝑯𝑬𝑬𝑻.

REPOST, DON’T REBLOG

BASICS !

FULL NAME. Salvatore Frederico Scozzari NICKNAME. Sal. Sally. GENDER. Male HEIGHT. 5′10″ AGE. 69 ZODIAC. Leo SPOKEN LANGUAGES. English. Italian. Grew up knowing some Yiddish from local residents/friends - he’s rusty with it now. Adequate Spanish. He’d like to learn more languages, but he’s lazy.

PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS !

HAIR COLOR. Grey, used to be black EYE COLOR. Brown SKIN TONE. White. Not pale, not porcelain, just a standard white. He can survive in the sun without burning badly. BODY TYPE. Sal is a stocky, rotund guy in his old age. When he’s in his 30s/40s he’s still stocky, but he’s REALLY built. ACCENT. American / A “Vintage” Brooklyn Accent VOICE. I have finally have come to terms with the fact Sal sounds like Ed Asner. DOMINANT HAND. Left. POSTURE. He tries to walk as erect as possible so he doesn’t seem like an old man ‘leaning over, wobbling.’ Standing UPRIGHT is a matter of pride. SCARS. He has a scar from where he was hit with a bullet at the chest. There is a surgical scar on his left leg as well as a small slash on his stomach from a juvenile fight. Sal claims these are the biggest ones he recognizes. Then there’s little scars - from being scratched by his cat for food or attention. TATTOOS. None in main, but applicable in his millennial verse. On his neck he has a sizable $ (for $al) at his left arm he has a tattoo of Trojan Warriors at war, on this right arm he has a 8 Ball with blazing cards, there’s also a small matching tattoo with Didi on his inner arm. It’s the King symbol with a K, a Spade, and a crown above it. Atop his hand is a snarling wolf. Then, on his back there’s two swords crossed. Over them, it says MOLON LABE.  MOST NOTICEABLE FEATURE(S). He has a mole under his left eye, thick eyebrows, a very large nose, and a very full (and thick) head of hair despite his age.

CHILDHOOD !

PLACE OF BIRTH. Brownsville, Brooklyn HOMETOWN. Bensonhurst, Brooklyn FIRST WORDS. ‘Ma!!!’ or, ‘Gimme!!’   SIBLINGS. His biological father has a daughter, but Sal’s never genuinely acknowledged her as a sibling. Or got to know her for that matter. He kind of regrets it as a old man. PARENTS. Patricia Scozzari & Franco Custonaci PARENTAL INVOLVEMENT. Sal is the product of a fling. His father was never involved with him. His mother was neglectful and resentful of his existence and, often wanting to seem childless in public, she unknowingly installed an early sense of independence in Sal. That, ‘I DON’T NEED ANYBODY BUT MYSELF! I CAN TAKE CARE OF MYSELF LIKE AN ADULT!’ independence that stuck with him for most of his life. When his mother was murdered, Sal (16 years old at the time) was sent to live with his aunt in Bensonhurst. She was strict and wanted to be an adequate mother-figure. However, having someone ‘telling him what to do’ made Sal uncomfortable and literally run from her affection a few times, but he always came back. Eventually, the two became close.  

ADULT LIFE !

OCCUPATION. Head of The Cannizaro Crime Family. “A Business Man,” he claims. CURRENT RESIDENCE. Jericho, Long Island CLOSE FRIENDS. CIRO / @armsdealing​, who he befriended as a teenager in Bensonhurst. FISCHEL, who he knew as a small child in Brownsville / @dirtiedhands​.

High, if we’re talking about young Sal. Low, in terms of current Sal. TURN ONS. Very feminine women that are composed, kind, ‘trustworthy.’ Perfume. Jewelry - or rather, women wearing jewelry HE bought them. HEAVY praise. TURN OFFS. Dominant people. Theatrics (although he can be prone to them). People who talk excessively. (although he talks just to talk.) Basically any traits he has in an attractive person, he ironically hates it. LOVE LANGUAGE. Quality Time RELATIONSHIP TENDENCIES. In his youth, when Sal was actually head over heels for a woman  (not in lust w/ a woman) he would always unintentionally spend his free time around them. It’s clear he’s into them, he doesn’t have to say it. Gradually, the more attached he becomes, he gains a one-track mind and unknowingly desires them to give words of approval. When young, he is incredibly high strung. He gives, A LOT. He aims to surprise, ALL THE TIME. He’s looking for more vulnerable emotional needs to be fulfilled and when people don’t return it, he’s usually low-key devastated but downplays it. When he’s older - he’s more chilled out, but he’s very protective. A trait that’s always been apart of him when it comes to relationships.

Talking about his biological family’s flaws.                                             ( Originally from asilverjackal. )

‘Coronaphobia’ is more dangerous than ‘Coronavirus’: Factors affecting Mental Health.

Phobia- is one of the most serious mental conditions where a person feels fear in a particular situation or a specific object.

According to A Special Health Report from Harvard Medical School, common phobias are related to fear of flying, heights, insects, animals, and injections, or usually the sight of blood.

Corona- has derived from the new pandemic ‘coronavirus.’

The term coronaphobia emerged in 2020 as the pandemic triggered vastly in the world. During the lockdown phase, there are a lot of things that changed people’s lives in terms of social life, livelihood, economy, and most importantly, mental health. Apparently, mental health is not always a genetic bourn disorder; it is an outcome of various environmental factors.

About coronavirus and its recent updates 2020

Coronavirus is a new pandemic to this world that started in December 2019 in Wuhan, China, and due to contagious disease, it has taken over all over the place. Coronavirus has common symptoms like body ache, sore throat, cough, fever, loss of taste, and smell; however, the outcomes of covid 19 are not so common. Covid 19 infection can lead to death, and people with low immunity levels are more prone to detect coronavirus from others.

Besides its outcomes, covid 19 treatment is not completely easy because a person needs to quarantine himself for 14 days minimum as per the guidelines of WHO (2020) as the viruses stay on the surface for a longer period.

Despite that, scientists are still working on coronavirus vaccination; therefore, there are greater chances of fear and complications of covid 19. Besides, the world health organization has introduced a few guidelines to protect from covid 19, for instance, maintaining a 6ft distance, covering mouth and nose, constantly cleaning hands and clothes. For elders, pregnant ladies and children under 6 years old are not allowed to go out amid lockdown as their immunity level is completely lower than others, and fewer changes to cure covid19.

The vaccination of covid 19 is not here yet, but health care providers are constantly working through medicine to suppress the symptoms of covid 19. Therefore, you might get recovered from this disease, but there is also a higher probability of diagnosing covid 19 again.

Covid 19 recent updates:

According to the worldometer, there are 69.6M total cases globally, whereas 44.9M are successfully recovered, and 1.58M people are dead due to covid 19. Among other countries, the United States of America is leading on top with 17M cases, and India is the second most vulnerable country with 9M total cases.

Factors associated with mental health

Socio-cultural factors:

Socio-cultural factors are the type of environmental influences that induce and reduce the mental health of a person. According to Leighton and Hughes (1961), family culture and norms are linked with mental health where child-rearing behavior, hygiene, nutrition, perception to adapt medical services, etc., are responsible for how we use to express symptoms of mental disorder or any other undesirable disorder.

On the other side, social factors refer to the interaction of society and community on the basis of gender, social class, race and ethnicity, and household patterns, thus maintaining the quality of education, livelihood, and family income by reducing discrimination, violence, and poverty. However, every society and community norms are different from each other, which affects society’s development as a whole.

Education factor:

Education is the key to impart knowledge, skills towards a better world by treating himself and his family well in terms of providing better healthcare service and detecting the disorder early. According to the study of SAMHSA (2016), education and psychological independence are positively interlinked, where 3.9 million people have anxiety with lower education levels and vice versa.

Therefore, people with less educational qualifications have less awareness to cope with psychological disorders. In order to which coronaphobia emerged at higher rates because people are less aware of dealing with the situation.

Socio-economic factor:

The economy is the base of any medical treatment; therefore, a family’s economy has a positive relationship with mental health treatment. A similar study was introduced by the U.S Department of Health and Human Services (2001), families with low-income status and poor occupation level are more prone to have mental disorders.

A similar study was conducted in 2008, where financial crises were destroying public health sectors and people’s lives individually. Due to coronavirus, there has been a shift in unemployment status that further leads to indebtedness and insecurity and poor primary care for mental disorder diagnosis.

Hence, mental illness, including anxiety, stress, and depression, is completely high amid lockdown as the increase in 19 million adults have a specific phone, and 15 million adults have social phobia. Besides, in the 2020 era of the pandemic, there are more panic disorder populations (6 million) and general anxiety (6.8 million) among the American population.

Coronavirus becoming Coronaphobia

.

At the beginning of 2020, the novel covid 19 rapidly spread across the globe and infected more than 3 million people in 187 countries, and WHO (2020) report also shows the increase in mortality rate by 13000 in a single month of March.

During the skyrocketing cases of covid 19, there have been high traumatic stress rates at 73.4% with 50% prevalence of depression and 44.7% have generalized anxiety (Lee, 2020). Aside from that, insomnia is one of the major cases increased in lockdown 2020 with 36.1%. It is clear evidence of outbreak impacts on people’s minds that elevates stress, depression, social phobia, health anxiety, and post-traumatic stress.

In the study of Kwasi Ahorsu et al., (2020), a clear relationship of fear due to covid 19 has been identified by developing FCV-19S (The Fear of Covid-19 Scale). The scale has all the factors affecting mental health, including education, income, age, and gender.

It is possible to assess the severity of people’s perception related to covid19 outcomes through the psychometric scale. For instance, anxiety and depression got the highest score on the scale, like “Worrying thoughts go through my mind” (anxiety). On the other side, many respondents respond to “strongly agree” to “I prefer to wash my hands pretty soon after shaking someone’s hand” (germ aversion), which is clearly evident of their fear of getting virus exposure.

Conclusion

The study of coronavirus turning into coronaphobia is necessary because the novel coronavirus has impacted the lives and affected personally and professionally. The fear triggers by the sudden increase of mortality and morbidly rates in the month of March 2020, although it is going to be a whole year, and things are not normal yet.

Coronavirus pandemic has shown us and put us where we have never imagined. Due to the pandemic, economic crises, social distancing, emotional crises, and education backwardness emerge.

According to the recent study and report of the World Health Organisation (2020), the vaccine of coronavirus is not the market yet because continuous trials are going on; hence people still need to maintain the guidelines of covid-19.

Physical illness is visible and measurable, and yet curable. However, mental health is not easy to observe, analyze, and treated in a day or two. And covid-19 not only comes with physical illness symptoms but in this year WHO has recorded the rates of anxiety, depression, fear, phobia, and insomnia due to the major factors affecting the mental health of an individual.

repost, don’t reblog

basics !

FULL NAME. Salvatore Frederico Scozzari NICKNAME. Sal. Sally.  GENDER. Male HEIGHT. 5′10″ AGE. 69 ZODIAC. Leo SPOKEN LANGUAGES. English. Italian. Grew up knowing some Yiddish from local residents/friends - he’s rusty with it now. Adequate Spanish. He’d like to learn more languages, but he’s lazy.

physical characteristics !

HAIR COLOR. Grey, used to be black EYE COLOR. Brown SKIN TONE. White. Not pale, not porcelain, just a standard white. He can survive in the sun without burning badly. BODY TYPE. Sal is a stocky, rotund guy in his old age. When he’s in his 30s/40s he’s still stocky, but he’s really built.  ACCENT. American / A “Vintage” Brooklyn Accent VOICE. Sometimes I say it’s De Niro. Other times I say, ‘that’s a goddamn lie Sal sounds like Ed Asner.’ DOMINANT HAND. Left. POSTURE. He tries to walk as erect as possible so he doesn’t seem like an old man ‘leaning over, wobbling.’ Standing upright is a matter of pride. SCARS. He has a scar from where he was hit with a bullet at the chest. There is a surgical scar on his left leg as well as a small slash on his stomach from a juvenile fight. Sal claims these are the biggest ones he recognizes. Then there’s little scars - from being scratched by his cat for food or attention.  TATTOOS. None in main, but applicable in his millennial verse, in which he eventually (way later down the line) has a small matching tattoo with Didi on his inner arm. It’s the King symbol - a K, a Spade, and a crown above it.  MOST NOTICEABLE FEATURE(S). He has a mole under his left eye, thick eyebrows, a very large nose, and a very full (and thick) head of hair despite his age. 

childhood !

PLACE OF BIRTH. Brownsville, Brooklyn HOMETOWN. Bensonhurst, Brooklyn FIRST WORDS. ‘Ma!!!’ or, ‘Gimme!!’   SIBLINGS. His biological father has a daughter, Arianna, but Sal’s never genuinely acknowledged her as a sibling. Or got to know her for that matter. He kind of regrets it as a old man. PARENTS. Patricia Scozzari & Franco Custonaci PARENTAL INVOLVEMENT. Sal is the product of a fling. His father was never involved with him. His mother was neglectful and resentful of his existence and, often wanting to seem childless in public, she unknowingly installed an early sense of independence in Sal. That, ‘I don’t need anybody but myself! I can take care of myself like an adult!’ independence that stuck with him for most of his life. When his mother was murdered by a jilted lover, Sal (16 years old at the time) was sent to live with his aunt in Bensonhurst. She was strict and wanted to be an adequate mother-figure. However, having someone ‘telling him what to do’ made Sal uncomfortable and literally run from her affection a few times, but he always came back. And eventually, the two became close.  

adult life !

OCCUPATION. Head of The Cannizaro Crime Family. “A Business Man,” he claims. CURRENT RESIDENCE. Jericho, Long Island CLOSE FRIENDS. Ciro / @armsdealing, who he befriended as a teenager in Bensonhurst. Fischel, who he knew as a small child in Brownsville / @noiseofthunder. Ziva / @fbiartist​ not actually a close friend, he kind of sees her as family, however he’s inclined to call her a ‘lunch buddy.’ Adriano. / An old friend from Bensonhurst who never got into organized crime. He runs a Jazz Station.  RELATIONSHIP STATUS. Married. FINANCIAL STATUS. Rich af. DRIVER’S LICENSE. Yes. CRIMINAL RECORD. Criminal Tax Fraud in the late 80s. VICES. Pride. Greed. Gluttony.

sex and romance !

SEXUAL ORIENTATION. Bisexual ROMANTIC ORIENTATION. Heteromantic PREFERRED EMOTIONAL ROLE. submissive  |  dominant  |  switch   PREFERRED SEXUAL ROLE. Submissive  |  dominant  |  switch LIBIDO. High, if we’re talking about young Sal. Low, in terms of current Sal. TURN ONS. Very feminine women that are composed, kind, ‘trustworthy.’ Perfume. Jewelry - or rather, women wearing jewelry he bought them. Heavy praise. And things that shant be mentioned here, sorry Grunk. TURN OFFS. Dominant people. Theatrics (although he can be prone to them). People who talk excessively. (although he talks just to talk.)  LOVE LANGUAGE. Quality Time  RELATIONSHIP TENDENCIES. In his youth, when Sal was actually head over heels for someone (not in lust w/ someone) he would always unintentionally spend his free time around them. Gradually, the more attached he’s becoming, he gains a one-track mind and unknowingly desires them to give words of approval. When young, he is incredibly high strung. He gives, a lot. He aims to surprise, all the time. When he’s older - he’s more chilled out, but he’s very protective and will easily become feisty if someone disrespects Delores in front of him.

miscellaneous !

CHARACTER’S THEME SONG. The Warning (Part II)  HOBBIES TO PASS TIME. People watching. Attending baseball games. Reading newspapers/doing crossword puzzles. Reading books. MENTAL ILLNESSES. N/A. PHYSICAL ILLNESSES. Diabetic. LEFT OR RIGHT BRAINED. Probably left-brained. FEARS. Elevators, ventriloquy. SELF CONFIDENCE LEVEL. Sal has a lot of pride and confidence in himself - however, he simultaneously has a few deep-rooted insecurities that peak out at certain times.  VULNERABILITIES. For years he felt that the sure way to hurt him would be to hurt Delores. In fact, Delores herself could easily shatter him with some sort of betrayal. His children and grandchildren. Talking about his biological family’s flaws.

Submissive  |  dominant  |  switch LIBIDO. higher than anyone expects TURN ONS. rough, scary men, especially ones who are willing and able to commit unspeakable acts. that’s all i’ll admit TURN OFFS. poor hygiene, being disrespectful, talking about turtles LOVE LANGUAGE. quality time, words of affirmation, and somewhat gift giving, though that’s more how he expresses it than wants to receive it RELATIONSHIP TENDENCIES. he’s typically had a hard time reining in his emotions, often getting carried away and overly attached in a relationship that was too new to call for it. jealousy and self sabotaging have been issues, too. obsession, sometimes coming off as clinginess, also has come into play a lot. 

on the more positive side, he’s very attentive, and shows a lot of affection (in his own way: usually through sex and giving gifts. he also very much enjoys listening to his partner, getting to know them, their past, and their interests.)

miscellaneous !

CHARACTER’S THEME SONG. man idk HOBBIES TO PASS TIME. reading, learning languages, the occasional movie, shopping (particularly for clothes),  MENTAL ILLNESSES. (all undiagnosed- he doesn’t want to talk to a doctor) some form of anxiety, c PTSD, possibly bipolar disorder PHYSICAL ILLNESSES. CMT LEFT OR RIGHT BRAINED. u think i know FEARS. small, enclosed spaces. dogs.  SELF CONFIDENCE LEVEL. this is a complicated concept, even with most people. lola has confidence in what he does, generally. most things he just knows he’s making the right decisions and is generally very sure of himself. on a more personal level is where most of his insecurities lie. he’s had a difficult time with his romantic relationships over the years, most of them have been negative, and none of them have lasted very long, which ties into a really deep rooted fear and insecurity reaching back into his childhood. so, it really depends on the context. VULNERABILITIES. his children. if anyone knows he’s never been able to hang onto a romantic partner for more than 5 years/he’s been alone for even longer, that’s something he’s insecure about. but to actually really get to him, his daughters are the way to go. but that’s dangerous because he’s a very vengeful and ruthless person.

RP HOOKS. 

- open to discussion. 

- vali is thavnairian born, but has begun to travel around eorzea selling her perfumes. these perfumes are often benign, but there are whispers of the scents she creates with ‘special’ properties. curious as to what these properties are? seek her out, and she may tell you - for a price.

- her abilities as a psychometric empath give her special understanding and looks into the past of people, rooms, and objects alike. while this is not an ability i will use without explicit OOC consent, it is a large part of her character. if you think this is an avenue you’d like to explore - whether it be to help your character unlock forgotten memories for themselves or for other things then vali is your girl. the same is to be said for her abilities as an intuitive empath. i will not use it without OOC consent, but they do allow her to tell if someone is lying to her, IC.

- vali is a very new character for me, and so i am very open to whatever hooks that you may have in mind! her past as a slave could come back to haunt her, and how she escaped. she is a beautiful and clearly foreign young woman in a new land, and is certainly meant to be eye catching. if you’d like to get to know her, shoot me a message here on tumblr and we can figure something out!

- friendships, rivalries, business partners, crushes, romances, and everything in between are all things i’m looking forward to exploring with vali. 

- darker themes of RP are a-okay with me, including violence, gore, obsession, stalking, horror, as well as sexual themes. please know, though, that i am not going to ERP with you for the sake of ERP, and i do not do permanent death, injury, or disfigurement for my characters unless it is a specific plot point originally planned by me. 

OOC.

- i am over the age of 18!

- i am very friendly, but am not willing to immediately hand out my discord. however, if we RP and click, chances are that i’ll offer it to you. the best way to communicate with me is either by sending me a DM here on tumblr or whispering me in-game on Audrey Wells, Sarah Hawke, or Vali Laghari. 

- i am on the Crystal Data Center! 

- thank you for reading!!! <3

If the other person lacks any sort of criminal background she will try to avoid talking about her past for as long as humanly possible.

She knows she can manipulate people to follow what she wants them to do if needed. However she doesn’t want to do that, and somedays feels like she has no right being where she is due to what she’s done. Often when feeling inadequate she masks this with aggression in some way.  Vulnerabilities: Many but she hides having them incredibly well. This isn’t to say that she deals with them, but just bottles them. She’s insecure about her position in the league somedays, and she shames herself for her past often so when other’s do it only digs deeper.

[ssjkallion]

full name.  Kallion pronunciation. kæljən (Phonetics are fun!) nicknames. Kal, Kalli, Kid, Fish-Head titles.  Time Patroller, Just Your Average Low Class Saiyan! height. 5′0 age. 19-20, she’s honestly not entirely sure since she lost count of how many years she was marooned. Technically, due to time travel and living in Conton, which is suspended in the 850s, she’s well over 120. zodiac. Libra languages. Universal language and whatever the native Saiyan language is.

PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS.

hair colour.  Black eye colour. Blue skin tone.  Pale, but sometimes a bit tanned due to being outdoors often. body type.  Petite, but toned! accent.  Pretty standard, if a little country. dominant hand.  Right hand posture. A prominent one on her left cheek. Her other biggest scar is on her hip, oddly shaped due it being from a ki blast. She also has several small ones scattered around her body after a lifetime of fighting.  tattoos. None! most noticeable features. Her eyes, especially among other Saiyan’s. Blue, or really any color other then dark brown, isn’t exactly common among full-blooded Saiyan’s-- she gets them from her moms side! Also, her youthful face and scar.

CHILDHOOD.

place of birth.  Planet Vegeta; the back of a returning ship. hometown. Outside the capital. birth weight / height.  5.5 pounds at most! She’s always been small. manner of birth.  Natural. first words. "Kick!” siblings.  None that she knows of. parents.  Mother: Cipolla Father:  Toma parental involvement.  Minimal, thanks to how Saiyan society was set up on Vegeta. Not to say they didn’t love her-- tell that to Kallion, though. She has no memory of either of them. Can’t even tell you their names.

ADULT LIFE

occupation.  Time Patroller! current residence.  Small apartment in Conton. close friends.  Fenn, Trunks, Giblet (quite a bit more then), Mariko, Scaro, Shallot, Keel, Taeta, 22, Plum, Bardock kinda relationship status.  Time and verse dependent, but taken at some point~ financial status. Living paycheck to paycheck but overall kinda broke lmao driver’s license. None. She can fly! criminal record.  Was a Saiyan during the Frieza days, so you can guess a few things there. Also, petty theft during her first years in Conton. Occasional publican indecency because...uh, feral. vices. Gluttony, Envy, wrath and stubbornness 

SEX & ROMANCE.

sexual orientation.   Bisexual romantic orientation.   Biromantic preferred emotional role.  submissive |  dominant  | switch | unsure preferred sexual role.  submissive | dominant | switch  |  sex repulsed libido. Pretty average, if a little high due to inexperience.  turn on’s. Biting, scratching, dirty talk, teasing, playfulness.  turn off’s. Legit trying to cause harm, over-aggressiveness that’s unprompted. love language. It can be a little hard to tell. Kallion’s not the most socially aware person, and romance/sexuality is something that flew over her head for a good long time. She didn’t really get signals for the longest time, so she only recently learned what it meant to give them out, too. And for Kallion, it’s all very casual. She doesn’t treat you any different than any other friend-- Kal already has a tendency to be cuddly and affectionate. She is a little more protective and nosy, though. She’ll really want to reassure that person that she’s there for them, and likes having them in her life. So she will reach out to touch them more than usual, and go out of her way to do something for them. relationship tendencies. When she’s in a relationship with someone, Kallion’s not at all shy about PDA. I mean, she’s still kind of confused as to why people are uncomfortable with nudity. Do you really think she would be embarrassed to kiss her partner? Aside from that, she’ll be even more playful and teasing. They would also be the first person she would bare her soul to-- she hates talking about her own issues, but if someone made her feel loved and comfortable enough? She’d be very open.

MISCELLANEOUS.

character’s theme song. Pompeii , Delilah, Help I’m Alive, Super Survivor hobbies to pass the time. Training, fighting, missions, gardening, reading (or at least trying), doodling, listening to music or having the tv in the background, video games, comics, stargazing mental illnesses. I’ve definitely given her some of my adhd symptoms. She’s also got some blatant survivors guilt and probably a learning disability.  physical illnesses.  None! left or right brained.  Right brained. fears. Failure, failing others, being abandoned by her new friends/family, losing her new home, watching her friends leave/die/suffer, being looked down on, being useless.  self-confidence level.  Preeeeetty low, but it’s getting better!  vulnerabilities. Her tail, children, cute animals, picking at her insecurities, her tail.

She and Kael were incredibly close, somewhat due to her guilt over not being involved enough in rearing her two elder sons (she was fairly young when she had them, and did not want children to run her youth). Right now, unbeknownst to Ikael, she is keeping track of his and the Scions’ activities.

He knows that he can be taken advantage of because of this, and so tends to be very guarded with his heart until he feels extremely close with someone and confident that they return his affection to a great degree. Related to this, he also sees the words “friend” and “love” differently, and thinks of them to be heavily connoted.

MISCELLANEOUS

hobbies to pass the time: cooking. he also cooks when he is feeling stressed, anxious, upset, etc. he fishes to calm down. mental illnesses/disorders: not an “illness,” but he is autistic (with a textural/touch fixation) and doesn’t mask at all, making it very noticeable. this is partly because he does not know how to mask, and partly because he does not want to be untrue to himself. He is more obviously “different” when he is around friends, since he knows they will accept him. He also has anxiety, had ptsd but has since recovered, and as of the end of shadowbringers, has possibly a new trauma. physical illnesses:  Very allergic to shrimp. left or right brained: right fears: extreme fear of abandonment in any and all ways, scared of (and sometimes triggered by) anger/yelling, scared and somewhat paranoid about losing those he cares about self confidence level: low in terms of perception of emotional self, high in terms of skill and physical appearance vulnerabilities: emotional, can be triggered into an anxiety spiral very easily, tends to have tunnel vision, very easily intimidated if it’s from someone he cares about (with a clear exception of his partner, whom he knows enough to not be)
