Wait, so we get Duke In Training Franklin Bagwell for this AU?!
Yes! Franklin Bagwell, Josie’s twin brother and the future Duke of Haverford. He’s the person Josie’s closest to in the entire world.
“I think I met someone.”
Frankie raised his eyebrow at his sister, “Cool? Where’d you meet him?”
“Well, re-Met someone?” Josie cleared her throat, steeling herself for her brother’s reaction. “I um… I sort of knew her in high school.”
Frankie dropped his phone, “Did you say she as a slip of the tongue? Or you actually knew someone in high school that you met again and you want to shag her now?”
Josie swallowed, “I met her again and I want to shag her now.”
Frankie let out a cheer, mimicking a crowd before he wrapped his arms around her waist and shook her excitedly, “Jose! You’ve finally fucking seen the light.”
She rolled her eyes, “Yes, it must have been your 16 year old poem Ode to the humble Vagina.”
Frankie cackled, “Excuse you, it was Vagine.”
“Vagine, that’s right. God Dad’s face was nearly purple when you got sent home from school for that.” Josie let out a shuddering breath. “ Thank you, for being cool about this.”
He shrugged, “Womb to tomb right?”
“Womb to tomb.”
He raised his eyebrow as though he were waiting for something before he sighed. “Okay, are you going to tell me who it is or do I have to guess?”
Josie sighed, barely able to say it. “Her Royal Highness.”
Frankie winced, “Jose, I’m saying this because I care. And I want this to be a positive experience for you. I think she’s pretty serious with the protection officer.”
“The other one, Dickhead.” Josie ground out. “Edwina.”
“Ohhhh. Edwina!” He gasped like a little boy, “Jose she’s so pretty!”
“She is!”
“Okay, we need a plan here. Get some paper!”

Check the Top Gun Masterlist post for the latest updated version. 💕
Ao3 Authors: Callsignsmax, Davidbyrne, Greenstuff, Hangmanbradshaw, LulaluzHazel, MadeItUp, Nimuetheseawitch, Ok_thanks, ReformedTsundere, Rnadison, SunMonTue, Teacupivy, Vannral.
> High School & College/University
learning steps by vannral {E}
/Top Gun Instructor!Bradshaw/
”So, an instructor?”
A straight hit. Bradley shifts uncomfortably on the leather seat and clears his throat. ”… Yeah.”
In which Bradley becomes an instructor after the mission, Jake keeps showing up to his classes and his students are very curious about their dynamic.
sereshaw student/teacher 'verse by callsignsmax
/Physics Teacher!Seresin/
a first time for everything {E}
Mr. Seresin is his new physics teacher, he’s twenty six at the most. With how he looks Bradley would be shocked at anything more. He’s from texas, obvious from his accent and the obnoxious Texas Rangers banner he has pinned on the cork board next to his desk.
I see right through you {E}
“Nothing’s fair, Mr. Seresin,” He hiccups, throat sore and scratchy from suppressing his sobs. “Why don’t my friends support me and you being together?”
NSFW alphabet with Mr. Seresin and Bradley {E}
Learn the ins and outs of Mr. Seresin and Bradley's sex life, including the struggles of true love in a teacher/student relationship.
I’d wait forever for you {M}
“Red,” he manages to choke out, even though Mr. Seresin had already stopped. His hands were off of Bradley the second the younger froze up. “Stop, please.”
You Are My Treasure by hangmanbradshaw {E}
/Librarian!Seresin/
History's Like Gravity, It Holds You Down Away From Me
“That’s too much thinking for you, obviously. You should leave that to the professionals. Don’t want to hurt yourself.” This time Bradley let out a laugh. Jake had missed that sound. “I don’t see any professionals around here, do you?” “You wound me, Bradley.” “Sorry, princess.” Bradley didn’t look sorry at all. “Just don’t come crying to me when you get lost in the tomb and can’t read the hieroglyphics that say this way to the exit.” “I’m not worried. I don’t plan on leaving your side, problem solved.” “I will leave you behind.” “You would never. Plus, someone’s gotta talk you out of leaving society for good and moving into the ancient burial grounds to live amongst your favorite mummies and old ass relics, like some modern day form of an Egyptian hobbit hole.” Jake stopped. “You know, that’s a valid point. Weird ass way to put it, but valid.” Bradley grinned. “What can I say, I know you.” Jake was starting to realize just how accurate that statement was.
You Can Make My Wish Come True, If You Let Me Treasure You
“Jake…you know you’re my family right? If we do this, we do it together. It’s not a Bradshaw only thing.” The man blinked at him and then smiled softly. “Okay. You’re my family too so if you’re doing this, I’m riding shotgun.” Bradley nodded and grinned brightly. “Think we’ll have to fight off any zombie founding fathers brought back to life?” “I’m putting $5 on at least two. I call dibs on fighting off Franklin though.” Or, The one where, fresh off their mummy adventure, Jake and Bradley steal the Declaration of Independence, make way too many mummy related jokes, and get married, all with a little help from their friends.
I can be your fantasy (football punishment) by ok_thanks {_}
/HS Teacher!Seresin/
“This year, the second annual season of the Dagger Squad Fantasy Football League, the loser, one Bradley Bradshaw, must face a fate worse than death.” Nat pauses for dramatic effect. “He must – drumroll, please, boys... — Successfully and wholly complete the Scholastic Aptitude Test, also known to some as the SAT.” As if that wasn't bad enough, the proctor being Javy's stupidly handsome best friend — who he keeps running into — adds to his misery. AKA: the one where Bradley's fantasy football punishment leads to an embarrassing crush of high school teacher Jake.
it's such a magical mysteria, when you get that feeling by  hangmanbradshaw {E}
/Paleobotanist!Seresin & Paleontologist!Bradshaw/
“So, they pulled you away from some bone dig for this? Let me guess, you were looking for a velociraptor?” He asked as he pulled out a toothpick and stuck it in his mouth. “It’s a little more than that.” Bradley replied with a furrowed brow. He was annoyed that he was right. “Sounds like a lot of sand and dirt to me. Then again, your type always loves that stuff. I’m shocked they were able to pull you away from it.” The man said with a smirk around his toothpick. He was being obnoxious, but the smirk sent a jolt down Bradley’s spine. “You’ll have to excuse Mr. Seresin here.” Simpson said with an annoyed grimace. “He suffers from a case of extreme personality.” “It’s Dr. Seresin.” Simpson rolled his eyes. “Whatever.”
The Penguin Agenda by greenstuff {E}
/Marine Biologists!Bradshaw & Seresin/
Penguin Day at the aquarium not only means Bradley has to put on a penguin costume for their full day of elementary school kid tours, but he has to work with his rival in academia and life: Jake Seresin. He should have called in sick.
but I absolutely love him (when he smiles) by rnadison {G}
/Field Trip Educator Contractor!Bradshaw/
“Did you just hit on me?” Jake tilts his head, weighing his options. Clearly this wasn’t the response he’d been anticipating. “...Yes?” Bradley nods. “Right. Okay.” He pulls himself closer to his monitor and opens a new browser window. “What are you doing?” “Trying to see if I remember the link to the Title IX complaint form.” -------- In which they work in a museum, and Jake is the director's annoying assistant, and Bradley is just trying to get the Education Department name-brand markers.
Extra Credit by ReformedTsundere {T}
/History Teacher!Seresin & Maths Teacher!Bradshaw/
"I'm going to kill him," Bradley seethes, stomping into the teacher's lounge and briskly cutting across the room to get to the fridge where his lunch is waiting. Or 5 times Jake and Bradley's teaching forces them together, and 1 time there's no force at all
you were nothing but trouble, baby and I've been sifting through the rubble lately by hangmanbradshaw {M}
/Professor of Meteorology!Seresin & Storm Chaser!Bradshaw/
Rooster rolled his eyes, but didn’t go any faster. He was in his head, which Jake knew how to handle. He pulled out his phone and tapped on the music library, swiping until he found what he was looking for. The beginning strums of Slow Ride filtered through the car bluetooth. He lulled his head over, smirked widely, and said, “I love this song.” Rooster shook his head, but Jake could tell a small smile was threatening to blossom. It felt like a small victory. “You haven’t changed.”
Suitable Replacement by ReformedTsundere {E}
/Professor!Seresin/
It's the middle of mid-term hell week, Jake's vibrator is broken, and the fastest Amazon can get him a new one is after the weekend. His only salvation seems to be the newest sex shop in town and the weirdest, hottest clerk Jake's ever seen.
A thief to catch a heart by LulaluzHazel {E}
/Art Professor!Seresin/
Using as an excuse that the Head of the Department, Professor Mike Metcalf, a goofy but authoritarian guy, was away one week before the Spring Break, Jake ditched Javy and Reubens, telling them that he was going to have some sort of crazy party. (Even if he would probably stay home browsing dating apps where people would promise crazy plans that would entitle them to pretend to go hiking and end up getting drunk at brunch. In the best case scenario.) What he didn’t expect, is to have to receive on Friday morning to the FBI in his boss’s office. “Sorry, Special Agent Mitchell,” Jake sat behind his boss's desk. He felt it was too big and out of place. “Let me get this clear, you need my help to certify if two paintings that were stolen from a museum in Spain are authentic.”
Most Arduously by MadeItUp {M}
/Film & Media Associate Professor!Seresin & English Literature Associate Professor!Bradshaw/
When the Dean of Hale South Western College announces a prestigious new writing course, rival Associate Professors Dr Jake Seresin and Dr Bradley Bradshaw find they've got to co-operate. But as the two of them pit their disciplines against one another, each set on proving the other wrong, they're grudgingly forced to admit that in order to teach, they've got to learn... Jake stares forlornly at his laptop as he contemplates withdrawing his acceptance. But damn if that wouldn’t make Bradley fucking Bradshaw happy. And Jake would rather drive himself to the depths of misery than give that dickhead one single second of satisfaction.
my love life waits for me by davidbyrne {T}
/Chemistry Teacher!Seresin & English Teacher!Bradshaw/
Jake’s been a Chemistry teacher at Winthrop Preparatory Academy for more than three years and has, so far, avoided holding over, the dreaded duty of having to stay over the holiday break to watch the kids who aren’t going home. It’s a two-teacher job, and in Jake’s experience, it’s always been Bradshaw and some other poor sap. Jake had been promised it wouldn’t be his year. He has plane tickets, family plans, and his mother’s pecan pie sitting on a kitchen counter in wonderful, warm Houston. And now he’s gonna have to stay trapped in this snowy hellscape with a bunch of obnoxious kids and Bradley fucking Bradshaw. or jake and bradley are two teachers at a boarding school, forced to spend the holiday season together
Experts In A Dying Field (the math prof au) by nimuetheseawitch
/Math Professor!Seresin & Poli Sci Professor!Bradshaw/
Experts In A Dying Field {T}
He gave in to the inevitability of gravity and slid to the floor, taking off his glasses and rubbing the bridge of his nose. Taking a deep breath, he looked around his office and saw his early career researcher award and the excellence in teaching award he’d earned last year, and he reminded himself that he loved math, he loved teaching, he was good at both, and that the beginning of his fourth semester here was too early to lose his shit just because a student had asked him for the 27th time today what was going on with him and their favorite Poli Sci professor, Bradley fucking Bradshaw. It was the end of January, he hadn’t even seen his ex-husband this calendar year, and yet, their supposed rivalry and mysterious bad blood were the talk of the campus yet again. Jake had hoped that the incident in December would’ve been forgotten by now, but apparently not. OR Jake and Bradley used to love each other, and now they're working at the same small, Midwestern college.
I just want back in your head {E}
It's the faculty holiday party, and all Bradley wants is for his ex-husband to notice him. Once Jake does, the rest is history.
It's all academic darlin' by SunMonTue {E}
/Engineering Professor!Bradshaw/
Bradley is a professor but living his best life with IceMav parents. Jake is a pilot. Maverick sort-of tries (and fails) to play matchmaker, so he tries again. Touch of epistolary and sprinkling of one-sided unknown/mistaken-identity.
vesuvius by teacupivy {M}
/Chemistry lab/
It’s too much, and it’s infuriating, and Bradley has a lot of shit he should be doing, but instead he’s making goo-goo eyes at the asshole in the corner.

Finding Franklin's Tomb
Tumblr media
Watched National Geographic's Explorer: Lost in the Arctic (2023) documentary. Amazing footage of the route that the Franklin Expedition took, but these guys in the doc wanting to find Franklin's tomb thinking he was buried with ships' logs, letters & even photos? Don't think you'd bury those in a grave.
Tumblr media
Imagine finding Frozen Franklin a la the Beechey lads. His Guelphic Order medal wasn't even buried with him but kept to give to Jane if anybody made it back. Just like the ships' logs etc would be items to keep so that they could be returned to England to tell the story of the expedition.
Tumblr media
That's what sounds plausible to me, at least. The logs/letters were probably among the papers given to the Inuit children to play with...
You can watch the documentary on Disney+

29. Great historical mystery you are interested in?
hmmm there are quite a few. But most likely who does the tomb of the First Emperor in China look like, who killed Oetzi, where the heck is the Amber Room (I suspect burnt), where is the tomb of Nefertiti and Cleopatra and what really happened to the Franklin expedition and a few more things.

WIP Wednesday
some words are being written, albeit slowly. but some and slowly is better than none, so here are some sneak peeks for what will come in a yet unspecified future:
(you know the drill: unedited, unchecked for typos, etc. that's for later)
The Locked Tomb, part two of Nine Houses of Madness, One Millennial to Rule Them All. Yet untitled:
Ortus is fixing the collar of a suit in front of the mirror in their shared room when Harrow skulks back to it. Their eyes meet in the mirror. At least his face paint is impeccable. He inclines his head. “Reverend Daughter. You’re just in time.” She doesn’t dignify that with a question what time it is supposed to be. The only time she cares about is the one running through her fingers as she exhaust the limits of her necromancy and fails to get through even a single test while the Third, the Second, and the Eighth are quite possibly miles ahead of her on the road to Lyctorhood already. “It’ll take some adjusting to do, but I’m sure we’ve got enough food prepared to account for an additional mouth to feed.” Harrow, who’s been living on plain bread and water ever since their arrival at the Canaan House, balks at the mere thought of food. Then another thought slams into her mind. “Nigenad,” she seethes slowly, “have you been socialising?”
2. 1899, yet untitled Mauraeyk modern AU:
The text comes to Maura on a crowded bus. She waits for it to round the corner, tilting as it does with the rest of the passengers, and only takes the phone out of her pocket on the next stop. “Lunch today if you’re free? Lemme know as soon as you can.” And Maura thinks, FUCK NO. Eight stops behind her. Three more to go. Half a day to ignore the message until she can’t anymore. She steps out of the bus into the crisp autumn air. It carries an aftertaste of a summer sun, a delightful flavour she feels on her tongue and wishes she could preserve for the long winter night that will inevitably come next. Around her, Hamburg is golden in autumn and deafeningly loud in the throes of the morning rush hour. “Doctor Franklin,” the receptionist greets her when Maura enters the clinic. There are dozens of people around her—patients, staff, even occasional insurance scammers waiting for an easy catch of freshly grieving—but the receptionist never fails to notice her. He’s sweet like that; rolls the Rs in her title and surname like no German ever could. “Good morning, Olek,” she says because it doesn’t hurt to be polite and Olek has only ever been respectful. Besides, immigrants should look after each other, shouldn’t they? No matter their origins, their paths led them to the same place at the same time. Olek is a sweet kid. She wonders sometimes what burdens she sees reflected in his eyes. “Doctor Roehrich has been looking for you,” he adds and shifts his focus to the queue at the counter, greetings and pleasantries falling free from his lips while Maura’s world tilts. And isn’t that an abysmal way to start the day? First the text, now this—and it’s not even nine o’clock in the morning. This is Maura’s life: an endless stream of days she’d rather not live but must, because she’s too much of a coward not to.

🧚‍♀️🫶 *~* WiP excerpt *~* 🫶🧚‍♀️
wip: chalk mountain (x)
hope y'all enjoy this snippet from my wip! this is from a recent editing draft i did that really changes the tone of the story. enjoy under the cut!
thank you for reading, please interact to let me know you were here/enjoyed it🩷
“But, Dee, we need you to be awake for this. And you need to hold it together.” Emilio added.
“Dee? That's new.” She joked. He frowned.
“Dixie, I'm serious.” He spoke firmly. “When you wake up, you need to take deep breaths, and then you need to get dressed with your boots and we're gonna go on a hike.”
“Emilio,” Franklin interjected, “it isn't time.”
“It is more than time! The time was when we had to restrain her against her own kitchen sink! She needs to see the tomb and she needs to see Her!” Emilio snapped; he then took a deep breath through his nose and then blew it out of his mouth. “I'm sorry but I'm right this time. I'm taking her out there.”
Maude raised her hand up. “He's right.” She sighed and shook her head.
“About what? Where am I going? Who is Her?” Dixie asked.
Maude swiftly strided towards Dixie and pressed her thumb against her forehead.
Dixie felt what felt like ice cubes slide down her back and a splitting headache. Her vision blurred in and out as she tried to form words, although she wasn't sure what reality she was in anymore. Her thoughts scattered to find an order but failed upon every track. She felt a grip tighten on her left side; her head drooped over to see who it was. Emilio gave a faint smile and furrowed his eyebrows.
“You in there, Dee?” He whispered and leaned close. “Come on, girl.” His words stayed soft and comforting, like a kind invitation to the present world.
“I reckon I’ve got a fuckin’ migraine,” She slurred out.

✨About Me post✨
Hello!! Welcome to my little blog!! I saw some friends do this and thought I should too.
Online you can call me Ruby, using that for ✨privacy reasons✨
Idk here’s little facts or something
She/her, but honestly I don’t care what you use!
I am a adult but please no nsfw stuff, I will block u
Training a service dog! Any posts about him will probably be tagged “Franklin”
this is a social media I like to keep to myself and not worry about irl people so I'm not sure i’ll post much about my life.
Beginner taxidermist! I work with strictly naturally deceased animals. Mostly articulate bones, but i’d love to get better at true taxidermy.
I tend to unfollow frequently when interests change, so please don't take it personally- I'm probably just not interested in whatever topic you post about anymore.
(part of my collection!)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Stuff I'm interested in and prob reblog or post about!
LOCKED TOMB!! I love the locked tomb sm. First book is called Gideon the ninth, go read it!!
Bones and skeletons! I do reblog and post about them, so if that’s something you don't like to see be warned. I try to tag all those as “tw bones”
(the warthog I articulated!)
Tumblr media
Dogs! I love them v v much and will talk about dogs forever. English mastiffs are my favorite, i’ve had nine English and a handful of other mastiff breeds. I would love to get into showing them someday!
Reptiles! I love them so so much! I have a northern blue tongue named Walter, 2 Beardies named Herman and Dart, and a corn snake named Pyrrha. Walter is from a enthical breeder I adore and the rest are rescues! All my enclosures are bioactive.
(my children- Dart the orange Beardie, Herman the grey Beardie, Walter the skink and Pyrrha the snake
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The last of us!!! Ahh I love tlou! I am one of those people that adore the second game and i’m a Abby supporter. If you hate post about her simply because of what she did at the start, I’ll block. Structured criticism is fine- I just can't stand when people violently hate her just because of that, Joel has done way worse. It was justified lol
Stranger things! I've been a fan of st since the start, it's a big comfort show for me. I named one of my lizards after our favorite little monster.
Red dead redemption!! I could talk about rdr for days dude. My user is inspired by it!
Star wars!! I'm not as into Star wars as I used to be, but I still love it- especially mandalorian.
Lastly, the MCU! Again like Star wars i’m not as into it as I was, but I still enjoy it.
Anddddd lastly
Don't interact or follow if you're a asshole. Anyone can be whatever as long as they aren't hurting themselves or others, and just be generally respectful and polite. Ty!

ST. SAMUEL’S SUN
Tumblr media Tumblr media
[St. Samuel Abbey Church | Franklin, San Myshuno]
Father Jakes: Wow, twice in one month! We rarely get visitors as interested in the church’s history as you, ma’am. Thank you for such a large donation also. We don't have many visitors but, as requested, the church is closed for the day so that I can give you a more detailed tour. You said we’re waiting for one more?
[??]: Thank you, Father Jakes. Yes, he should be here any moment. I’d love to hear about the paintings history again.
(church doors open)
Tumblr media
Grand Duchess Kamill: Ah, here he is now!
Father Jakes: (gasp) Is that King George?
Grand Duchess Kamill: Perfect timing, Your Majesty.
Tumblr media
King George: Wow! This church is a magnificent work of art!
Tumblr media
Father Jakes: Your Majesty! It’s an honor. I was not expecting this. I...
Will Gates: Yes?
Father Jakes: I...I... My apologies! 
Tumblr media
Father Jakes: The painting of “Lady Bell”. Yes. We were told Lady Bell came to the abbey in the 1780s, seeking refuge. The abbey was run by nuns and mid-wives then. Her time here is unaccounted for but she would have either been a midwife or assistant to one. Lady Bell must have been important to the sisters.
Grand Duchess Kamill: Why do you say that?
Father Jakes: That portrait had hung here since the mid 1800s, long forgotten until you first showed up two weeks ago and recognized Lady Bell in the portrait during the tour.
King George: So, Isabella came here after fleeing Windenburg during the Great War! It’s where she hid and recovered. She felt safe here which is why she hid the portrait here.
Father Jakes: We’ll start downstairs where the painting was hanging.
Tumblr media
King George: It’s great seeing you, Will. I’ve been meaning to call you. Thank you for helping decipher the journal for us. I know you didn't have to help me after what happened.
Will Gates: With all due respect, sir, everything isn't always about you. Isabella was my ancestor too, George! I’m just as curious about her life as you and Kamill. 
King George: You’re right. 
Tumblr media
Father Jakes: The portrait was moved down here in the early 1910s. This small dining room is for the Abbey Keeper.
King George: No-one ever questioned the portrait? None of the Keepers or Fathers questioned why there was a portrait of Queen Isabella hanging here and not one of Saint Samuel or a former Father?
Grand Duchess Kamill: That’s what I thought!
Tumblr media
Father Jakes: We have always been a small abbey, Your Majesty. I doubt those nuns had any idea Lady Bell was a Queen! We assumed she was a former nun or important midwife.
King George: She wouldn't have been a Queen during her time here. We believe she became Queen consort after she left the abbey, but may have returned or remained close to a nun here.
Tumblr media
Father Jakes: This was the lower basement until it was renovated into a crypt in the 1870s. 
Grand Duchess Kamill: Are there bones inside these caskets? That’s nasty!
Father Jakes: Saint Samuel, our patron saint, was said to be very calm in nature. He never raised his voice in anger. He died in 1832.
King George: Never raised his voice? No wonder he’s a saint!
Tumblr media
Will Gates: When did you say this basement was remodeled?
Father Jakes: In the 1870s, I believe. Why?
Will Gates: Isabella mentioned something in her journal about a room in the basement but there are no rooms in here.
Tumblr media
Will Gates: The 1870s was known for unique structural architecture. Hmm, what did her journal say about the sun?
Tumblr media
Father Jakes: I don't think we should be back this far. It’s not safe. We are disturbing the tomb of Saint Samuel! Please!
Tumblr media
Will Gates: There is something about the sun facing his tomb that is different than the others. (shocked) The dial turns! That’s what she meant in her journal!
(Will struggles to turn the dial)
Tumblr media
Grand Duchess Kamill: Look! The wall is moving back. Is that dust coming from underneath?
Father Jakes: “What’s happening? What is that?  What did you do?”
Will Gates: A hidden door!
King George: (gasp) Does anyone have a flashlight?

So Nyo England canonically wears glasses, right? (Also every variation of Sweden but they aren’t my current hyperfixation) And because I’m procrastinating my finals I’ve started falling down the rabbit hole of historical eye loss.
Various things have been used since ancient times as visual aids, ie Emperor Nero was severely myopic (nearsighted) and used an emerald to watch gladiators fight because the shape of the gem corrected his vision. There have also been lenses found in Egyptian tombs: the Chinese also used pieces of glass to held correct vision problems.
The first handheld lenses in Europe were invented in the 1300s and were used to correct age related vision problems: it wasn’t until the 1500s that similar lenses for nearsightedness were invented. Even then nearsighted people didn’t always have access to them and many worked as artisans because of the fine and delicate movements needed to perfect their crafts like painting small details. Because of this myopic people also may have been discouraged from correcting their vision if possible because they were better suited for artisan work. The first bifocal glasses for nearsightedness were invented in 1784 by Benjamin Franklin. Bifocals before this only corrected age related eye problems.
England physically is around 22-23, so Alice is likely not experiencing age related vision impairments and because we know eye problems get worse the longer you have them I think it’s a safe assumption that Alice (and at least the Swedish personifications) has spent most of her life blind. Obviously once she gets corrective bifocals it would no longer be an issue but before then she was probably living her life as a disabled person. Just my little head canon.
