Short Sharp Shock - nightmare prison regime

Short Sharp Shock was a military-style prison regime for young offenders that wrecked lives and didn't work as Tony McMahon discovers

One of the first measures introduced by the new Conservative government of Margaret Thatcher in 1979 was the so-called ‘short, sharp, shock’ policy for young offenders. A regime of strict military-style discipline and strenuous physical activity designed to remove criminality from a youth’s character and wipe the smile off their face. It was also described as red meat for the blue rinses – a…

— The New York City Institute

The New York City institute, built in the early 16th century under the consulship of William Aldertree, is one of the oldest institutes in the Americas as well as on of the largest in the world. While the primary focus of the institute is to protect mundanes and enforce Covenant law within the city, it also provides additional support to the Greater New York area when needed. As of 2012 it is the base of operations for the Clave in Exile, headed by Consul Alexander Lightwood.

— Notable Features

The Greenhouse: A later addition to the institute, the greenhouse was added in the early 20th century by then head of institute Clyde Graymark and his wife Florence- who had an interest in experimenting with herbal medicine. It now boasts a variety of plants of both magical and mundane origins, including wolfsbane, midnight flowers, angels trumpet, and moonflower.

The Library: An original feature from the 1500s, the institute library holds over 5,000 books in its towering shelves ranging from historical texts, to magical grimoires, to classic fiction novels. In addition to this collection the library also acts as a miniature museum containing various magical artifacts.

— Staff & Residents

Heads of Institute: Jace Herondale & Clary Fairchild

Staff & Resident: Beatrice Mendoza (tutor), Simon Lovelace, Isabelle Lightwood, Maryse Lightwood

Former Heads of Institute: Robert & Maryse Lightwood, Marian Whitelaw, Edgar Graymark

Former Staff & Residents: Alec Lightwood, Max Lightwood, Hodge Starkweather (tutor), Adam Whitelaw, Rachel Whitelaw, Edith (mundane housekeeper)

The Two Runaways + Sarah

Grace Lyliane Thornfield (She/her, 8 years old)

nicknames: Lills, Gracie, Racie, gummy worm

physical description: scraggly & shaggy dirty blond hair (the dirty often doesn’t only relate to the colour), green-ish eyes, thin scar on her cheek that reaches down to tip of her nose, 4 ft (122 cm)

personality and tidbits: in the running for most likely trainee to get it trouble along with William and the Fearsome Four, not because she’s a menace like Max and his friends but because she gets easily distracted and ends up wandering off. Loves running and has the title of most won races hence the nickname Racie. She’s the youngest of four children and has lost her parents at a young age. Her older siblings still haven’t caught on to the fact that the Alec she’s talking about in all of her letters is also the HOTI that is writing her progress reports. Mostly because her reports shouldn’t be as complimentary and glowing as they are given they know how often she gets in trouble from the letters she writes them.

Extra info: She has a frog backpack. The frog’s spots are a mishmash of rainbows, candies, cookies and emojis. Yes it can hop back to her, a fail safe Magnus incorporated given her tendency to forget her backpack everywhere.

William Conner Whitelaw (he/they 8 years old)

nicknames: Liam, Illi, Yammie, little mosquito

physical description: short, tousled, curly hair that is often tangled. Brown eyes and chubby cheeks, 3 ft 11 (120 cm)

personality and tidbits: in the running for most likely trainee to get it trouble for the exact same reason as Grace - trouble finds them any time of the day even when he isn’t looking for it. He has the tendency to wander off when distracted just like Grace hence why they’re known among the trainees as the two runaways. William lost both of their parents pretty young. He has a bad relationship with his aunt and uncle on who are his guardians in name only, he got shipped off to the NYI pretty much as soon as William came in their custody. William sworn siblings with Oliver and the Rebecca’s and adores Alec.

Extra info: has a rocket backpack that has sever-changing molecule structures drawn over it. The backpack will fly after him when he drops it somewhere because of how often he forgets it/loses it.

Sarah Julie Mayweather (she/her, 8 years old)

nicknames: Sa-sa, Hummingbird,Sarie

physical description: shoulder-length blond hair usually tied into twin pigtails. Blue eyes and 3 ft 9 (114 cm)

personality and tidbits: energetic (and very autistic), stims a lot, friendly with everyone but sticks the closest to Linette, Julian, Cristina and Oliver. The epitome of a girly-girl, loves all things bright, bubbly and pink. Her mom works and lives at the institute which means she can see all of the shenanigans Sarah gets I to, she’s not sure it’s a good thing. Once came back to the institute with a pony, nobody knew where she got it from. Extra info: has a glittery, purple button mushroom for a backpack though she can change the colour and the type of mushroom by tapping on the bottom of the stem.

#OTD in 1972 – The Official IRA announced a ceasefire. This marked the end of the Official IRA's military campaign.

The official wing of the IRA in Northern Ireland announced a ceasefire, reserving the right of self-defence against attacks by the British Army and sectarian groups. However the Provisional IRA dismissed the truce as having “little effect” on the situation. The Northern Ireland Secretary, William Whitelaw, welcomed the move and a spokesperson said it was “a step in the right direction”. A…

WIP Game! ✨

RULES: post the names of all the files in your WIP folder regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. Let people send you an ask with the title that most intrigues them, and then post a little snippet of it or tell them something about it.

-

i was tagged by @luredin (thank you!) and i’ll tag @redgoldblue, @spaceradars, @logicgunn, and you, the person reading this, to either do this tag game, not do it, or do it six months from now (or anywhere between now and then) - whichever works for you.

-

and then, hm. the thing about how i write fic is that technically speaking it’s, uh, deeply inefficient, in the sense that i’ll start a hundred things (more literally than you might think) and bounce around between them until something gets close enough to being finished that it just needs a final little push (which only happens for about half the things i start, but that’s okay, because the other half is also an invaluable part of the process).

point being, the list of WIPs is long. curated version (with any projects i’d consider abondoned/barely started filtered out) below the cut. send me a title or fandom + number!
