Billy has schizophrenia; however, the condition typically manifests in late adolescence or early adulthood, usually between the ages of 15 and 30. Cases occurring before age 13 are classified as childhood-onset schizophrenia and are extremely rare, partly because diagnosing the condition in young children is difficult as the symptoms resemble those of other disorders, such as autism or ADHD
So, let's say Billy was misdiagnosed with ADHD at age seven, while still in the system
At eight, he became Captain Marvel, and BOOM six voices permanently took up residence in his mind, alongside the new consciousness of Thavma, who accompanies him on this journey
His stuffed animal, Tawny, turned out to be a sentient, magical tiger, and his twin sister, supposedly dead, was actually alive
On top of that, he now has superpowers
So, when symptoms of schizophrenia begin to appear, itâs hard to tell whether they are new symptoms or simply quirks of the new life heâs gained
ops, a new villain super weird that looks like it comes from hell? MUST be reality, he saw lots of those before. no one else on midia saw it? he must be INVISIBLE TO OTHERS
At age 13, Captain Marvel undergoes a mandatory Justice League psychiatric evaluation, as Batman wanted to ensure all the heroes were psychologically fit to continue performing well
After answering questions for trained AIs, filling out surveys, and reporting symptoms, and also the fact that there have no family history of ADHD or autism, the Captain leaves the appointment with a small printout stating the high probability that he has⊠schizophrenia
Billy doesn't even know what that is, but after a little research, he soon realizes it actually makes a lot of sense, especially when he thinks back to the years he lived with his Uncle Ebenezer, who was usually a grouch but became far worse whenever he mixed his mysterious medications with alcohol⊠and there was that time he stopped taking them and started ranting about how the government was spying on him, insisting that Billy was definitely a spy too, and that he had to get out of the house right then and there or else heâd do something terrible!
Maybe thatâs why Social Services took him away? The caseworker said Uncle Ebenezer was confused and no longer fit to look after Billy⊠Not that it matters now, he just needs to ask Batman if the League can cover the cost of any potential medication
So what if the Bat nearly faints while the Captain describes his symptoms and the possible diagnosis? Itâs not like Batman knows thereâs a pre-teen standing there, right?
you mentioned Mitch has an ex so what they do to become his ex (or is it what Mitch did for them to be his ex)
Mitchâs ex and his backstory with that ex are whatever is currently funniest for the bit. Could be Nameless, could be Nix, could be a random character no oneâs ever seen before, could be Ward from Akedo: Ultimate Arcade Warrior, itâs whoever you want it to be, with whatever backstory you want it to be.
That being said I mostly didnât put much thought into it. Bad at doing relationships and especially romantic stuff.
I want to see more polyamory pride this pride month i'm serious. Stop being weird about people with multiple partners polyamory is awesome and beautiful and queer
Hinobi makes Mitch forget about Five and Miko and all it takes to make him remember is one of the blueberries talking about glitches in ASL. For the very simple reason that Mitch created the signs for glitches and had to be the one to teach said signs to the blueberries. So whenever a random person starts talking about glitches in ASL he goes âwait a minuteâ, remembers he works for the âwipes your memory for funâ company and figures it out.
If I were an evil emperor in a fantasy world, I would have a an enormous aviary full of exotic birds that are exceptionally well cared for. They would be from a distant enough land that there would be very few people in my kingdom that knew much about them, they would be a friendly but not overly territorial species, and moderately intelligent. Like puffins. They would not, crucially, be able to imitate sounds and 'speak', but they would be very trainable and curious. Occasionally importing new birds for my aviary would be the Big Frivolous Indulgence that my political enemies make fun of.
I will also have a sorceror in my employ. When a hero or a renegade or a political rival is in a situation where I can safely kill them, they will instead be turned into a bird and added to my aviary. I would not brag about this; it would be a complete secret, known only to me and my sorceror. In situations where I capture multiple people working together, only one would go in the aviary;the others can be imprisoned or killed or whatever. If they escape and I reacquire them later, another one can go in the aviary. The point here is that nobody going in the aviary can safely assume that another bird in there is their teammate.
Because I would be trickling real birds in there, too. And I would train some of them to do 'intelligent' things like tap out prime numbers or scratch shapes into the dirt with their beaks. I would train some of them to pick at the locks and bars as if they were trying to escape. I would not train them all the same way, or train many of them at all.
Sometimes, a new bird goes into the aviary -- fellow revolutionary? Or just a bird? Is it trying to communicate to you that it's human, or just being friendly and imitating you because that's what smart friendly birds do? People would develop opinions and theories over time. They'd amass in a group of the smartest ones, pretty sure that they're closest four or five friends are humans, are using their invented little language of wing-flaps and trills with a human mind behind it... but can they ever really be sure?
Most people, when going into the aviary, would assume that all of the birds are captured enemies. So why are some of them hard to have ongoing communication with, to learn about, to plan with? Are these the natural communication barriers of someone in a bird body, or does being a bird make them stupider over time? Will that happen to them also?
Sometimes, if I capture a pair, I'll imprison them separately, then turn one into a bird and put them in the aviary at the same time as a real bird that's trained to have a couple of their partner's mannerisms.
When I interact with the birds, even in private, I won't secretly mock them or make clever veiled references to their past or act at all like I remember that they were once human. They are my birds, that I imported at great expense. And I've brought a treat for them; some fresh fruit, and another friend to share it with! A new bird!
#on tumblr thereso many 'if i were evil' ideas that aren't evil. and then there's this guy. 10/10 villainy. would scar an entire generation.#full villain approval
Look, Evil Emperor is a high bar. Empires are pretty evil by default so if you want to earn the title of Evil Emperor instead of Normal Emperor then you've really gotta put the work in. You can't just do normal greed and oppression and slavery and outright theft and then blame your victims for it, every empire does that, even the ones that pretend they aren't by calling the slavery and theft by some different name. If you wanna be an Evil Emperor then you have to get creative.
If I were an evil empress then I would execute people via an esoteric mind blast power where I'd lead them into a room and burn away their personalities and memories until they were an empty vessel and then send them home to their families, newly innocent and pardoned, where they'd have to be taught who they were and how to live from the ground up like a baby. (Or abandoned, I suppose, depending on the family.) Except I wouldn't actually have any such powers. I'd have a shapeshifting power that I'd use to turn my enemies into a piece of furniture and turn that piece of furniture into them, then send home a polymorphed candlestick or whatever for their family to dote on while my enemy goes on the table to hold candles for the rest of their 'life'.
#see Derin knows how to evil it up#just curious why the emperor is an avid bird collector and the empress chose interior design#is there anything behind that choice?#also it seems like the emperor needs a sorcerer to do his dirty work while the empress does it herself#or does she have a sorcerer also#or a sorceress#I'm taking notes but i have questions for the teacher
Because the specific stereotypes for this type of evil emperor involve a man being too frivolous and and easily distracted by sadism and therefore easy for someone more intelligent and with a specific skill to control (evil sorceror), and the woman equivalent is too direct and aggressive and self-assured. Distractible, dependent women or self-assured, self-reliant men in these types of stories are heroes (unless there's something else to be used to make them evil, like turning them into a jealous mother-in-law). These sorts of fantasy stories fucking love gender roles, but in a subtle way so they can hide it behind an empowering female lead and make you sound like a buzzkill if you point out the trend.
Okay so basically this will get long. And most of these aren't THAT embarrassing but uh yeah.
Miko:
The reason why her hair was Like That is because of some freak accident involving Nica, scissors, & a Bowl. This happened when she was 4 so her hair grew out of the bowl cut & turned into a hime cut (with Mayumi's supervision) after some time.
The reason it's embarrassing is because she joked that her sister threw a knife at her & she cut half of her hair and she had to cut off the rest of it. Classmates knew it was a joke but she was weird & talked weird & dressed weird so they all decided to 'believe her' to the point Miko was annoyed and a her teacher had to publicly address the class to 'Stop Doing That' while Miko was behind him bcs she was embarrassed to hell and back.
Zahra:
BUDS episode party. Do I need to elaborate?
Haneesh:
He's a little person so when he and his family were going to the airport for a family vacay, he got lost. Some of the staff couldn't believe that he was 12 and when he reached into his pockets to get his passport, he forgot his mom has everyone's passports. Cue the most embarrassing, patronizing, and agonizing 14 minutes of his life, waiting for his family to realise the 'Five year old Indian boy wearing blah blah blah' that was blaring on the PA was him.
Nix:
Nix hooked up with an identical twin from outside of work. Nix saw 'them' at Hinobi and thought they were a worker too and they just haven't met before. Quickly learned that was not the case when he saw both of them together in the mall and connected the dots.
Bergy:
Tried to ask Blake out (the cashier at Mama Miyamoto's) but got comically stopped by multiple events (glitch attack, lunch with family, rainstorm, ect) & Blake saw him after her shift looking like a wet dog. She gave him her umbrella.
Mitch:
Stubbed his toe and shrieked (it was like 2 octaves higher than his actual voice). It's embarrassing because Simi was going into the lounge when Mitch stubbed his toe and she used a speed boost to run away so he couldn't erase her memory.
Five:
Got his bi awakening when he saw a customer and was distracted from making the taco so their food was burnt lol.
