A CONTINUATION. @decaynoir

the doctor’s words prompt him to laugh, though there is not an ounce of humor in the dry chuckle. most clones learn to be suspicious about originals given their. . . opportunistic nature. too many horror stories of organ black markets& even personal companions. things that even the strongest clones would have nightmares of. Will grasps at the wine, swirling it in the glass. ❝ so i hear, ❞ he says with a smile, because it is the one thing in his research that stood out. Hannibal Lecter’s impressive medical history.

just how many clones have gone under his knife ? he wonders briefly.

Will picks at his food & only halfway through he finally asks, ❝ nothing for yourself, Doctor Lecter ? ❞ licking his lips, Will feels a strange sense hovering at the back of his thoughts, the same sensation that reminded him of his flashes & scrambled dreams. colors & shapes pass through him like an old picture show, black & white, hazy. or perhaps a flipbook with uncoordinated images. maybe it’s the food, a taste he’s had before, or maybe it’s the man in his head he’s so intimately connected to but still a stranger to. Will picks at the table linen, flickering his gaze towards Hannibal’s. his face is in sharp shadows, polite & almost without emotion. ❝ charm, manipulation - they go hand in hand in order to be effective, don’t they ? ❞ he has arrogance that Will often associates with Originals. ❝ i’m not much connected with any grapevines, so i still have yet to piece together why i of all people received your invitation. unless you have a soft spot for carers ? ❞

𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐛𝐚𝐥 𝐰𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝𝐧'𝐭 𝐛𝐞 𝐥𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐝 . the prospect of inquiring into just what he’d heard only occurs to him for a moment at best, no longer than it takes for him to wet his lips with the wine. inside his mind, the sound of clocks. the grim disciplinarian of his frontal cortex trying to soften the blow of will’s smile. it still punches into him. he imagines the hammering of nails into coffin boards, blinking away the night he’d suffocated his will graham to death. there would be no peace until his return. this much hannibal knows. ❝ ah - no, i’m afraid there are times in which i find my art just . . . too superb to eat. just the liquid dinner for me, tonight. ❞

watching him eat still pleases hannibal. that much stays the same. perhaps he’d phone up the facility to thank them for his table manners. his gaze strays between his mouth and his throat, over - loading the occipital lobe with visual snapshots of this will. hannibal finds himself indulging in his melancholic yearning, cognizant that it would only fester into a painful throb at his absence.

❝ i think you’ll find that i have no soft spots. you and i are in the same business, mr . graham. there is always a degree of . . . responsible detachment in what we’ve been assigned to do. you wouldn’t survive, otherwise. ❞ and detached he is: the man that gazes back into will’s eyes is a vacant thing, bolstered together with expensive cloth and gossamer. if one inspected him closely they would find thick, bruising bags under both eyes, gaunt cheek bones and a strange, deterrent to any and all sustenance.

how cruel it was to rot while his twin flame stayed frozen in his youth. hannibal leans to set his glass onto the table. ❝ i knew your original. he was . . . . philtatos. he went missing last month. [ . . . ] i won’t apologize for deceiving you, but i needed to see if - i needed to see him. ❞

Through talks with a friend I have developed a convoluted but very fun backstory for Omi that involves HannaBarbera R B time traveling to the past to try and destroy Omi after finding out his birthplace is a lost village, Chase following him into the past because Bean messing with the timeline is Not a good thing in the slightest, meeting baby Omi and his parents living humble lives in said mystical lost village and being their guest while watching Omi until he can find and clobber Bean to drag him to the future while musing ideas of playing baby Omi into his past self's care to get Omi to be his apprentice from the word go, Bean getting the drop on Chase and ending the village with Chase barely escaping with baby Omi in tow, until finally dropping Omi on the steps of the Xiaolin temple in baby swaddling to complete predestination after deciding his past self would not be a very good child carer and also feeling Omi wouldn't have grown into the spirited young Warrior Chase has come to respect in the present. Then tricking Bean back to the present and absconding with the Sands of Time to keep Bean from trying it again. A bit complex perhaps, but very fun to come up with!

NOT HANNABARBERA R B LMAOOO

This was insanely fun to read from start to finish, thank you anon! It sounds like it'd be a fun fic to write! I love Hannibal vs Chase plots.

Dashi and Dojo implied there was a time travel Shen Gong Wu they buried in either Egypt or Europe, which is... not where the Sand of Times were. So it must have been a different one, so theoretically there is still some sort of time traveling device that Hannibal could get his hands on, one with slightly different rules.

So, with that in mind,

Hannibal manages to distract the monks with some red herring chaos elsewhere and so he can go find the time travel Wu unopposed. Chase is the only one who knows Hannibal well enough to catch onto his game, and he arrives just as Hannibal just moments too late. Hannibal activates the Wu, opening up a time rift (sort of like the space rift opened up by the Golden Tiger Claws), and Chase jumps in after him. They tussle en route, Chase knocks him off course "too soon," so he arrives at the time Hannibal set the device for, in a small, isolated, mystical Chinese village, soon to be lost to time.

Since Hannibal was knocked off course, Chase knows he'll eventually arrive here too, but isn't sure how many days it will be. Chase keeps the Shen Gong Wu on him and decides to just wait until Hannibal arrives so he can confront him and drag him back to their present before he messes up the past.

In the mean time, Chase is just stuck here indefinitely in this village. He gets some regular clothes so he's not sticking out like a sore thumb in his warlord armor the whole time. He's walking through the village, trying to figure out what time period Hannibal sent him to without being too obvious about it. While he's wandering, he feels something on his leg. He looks down to sees a very familiar looking baby patting on his pants and trying to climb up them.

With a sort of bemused smile, Chase picks up baby Omi and muses aloud, "Well, now I have a pretty good guess of when I am. Thank you as always, little one."

Omi just babbles and giggles and waves his arms, so Chase pulls him away far enough that he can't hit his face.

"Trying to pick another fight with me, Omi? I admire your spirit, but you're a few years too early to take me on, aren't you?" Omi pouts and babbles out an incoherent argument and chews on Chase's sleeve defiantly, so Chase rolls his eyes and flashes his sharp teeth. "Alright, then. I'll indulge you. When have I ever turned you down before?"

"--Ah! That-- I'm so sorry! That's my baby, he escaped again!"

They're interrupted when a woman runs up and apologizes, she says her baby is always running off ever since he learned to crawl so early. She takes Omi back, and Omi gets upset about it. "Sorry, sorry. I guess he was fond of you! He usually get really fussy or scared around people, but it looks like he likes you!"

Chase smiles again. "Yes, we do get along rather well, don't we?"

Omi's mom asks who he is, and Chase says that he's just a lost traveler with no particular destination. He prepares to walk away, but Omi fusses and cries and reaches out for him, so Omi's parents invite Chase to stay with them for a while since he has nowhere to go and gets along so well with Omi.

So Chase decides to just stay with them as their guest, since it's the most convenient course of action until he can figure out when Hannibal will be dropped in the past. Chase meant to be actively monitoring the Hannibal situation, but he quickly gets distracted with how much he enjoys looking after baby Omi.

Omi's mom is very appreciative for the help, because Omi is really bad with people and also a very hyperactive and very prodigious baby who can also control water, so it goes without saying that he's a handful. But Chase can always handle him so well.

One of the best methods to get baby Omi to sleep is Chase tucking securely in his arms and rocking him for a bit. Omi always giggles when Chase bounces him in his arms. Baby Omi had a bad habit of hitting and biting people, but Chase takes it in stride and just pretends they're sparring and Omi absolutely loves it. Chase can always find Omi when he crawls away and hides somewhere. Omi loves showing off to Chase, and he's always sharing his snacks with him. They play together really well, and Chase never gets tired of or annoyed with Omi.

Chase isn't particularly fond of babies in general, but he thinks that in Omi's case, he could definitely handle raising him. He's already attached, and full of energy, and he's have Omi's unquestioned loyalty if Omi was taken under his wing instead of raised at the temple. "Would you like to come and train under me as a Heylin warrior? You'd like that, wouldn't you, Omi?" And Omi just giggles.

But eventually, the looming threat of Hannibal rears its head, and Hannibal is very prepared. He razes the town and wipes it off the face of the map, and it's all Chase can do to rescue Omi and eventually incapacitate Hannibal.

The village is gone, but Omi is alive, so at least Hannibal's plan of going back in time to stop Omi from growing up is thwarted. Chase needs to get Hannibal back to their time before he wakes back up, so he has to decide what to do with Omi.

And this whole time during all his destruction and the battle, Omi is just bawling and sobbing, and even now that it's over, Omi is still freaking out.

Chase doesn't know how to comfort him, and he definitely knows that if he drops this crying infant off at his lair to be found by Chase's past self, that wouldn't go well.

And besides, he likes Omi in the present, as he is. The brave, heroic boy who truly believes in the honorable warrior monk ways. It's for the best to keep things as they were.

So with a heavy heart, Chase swaddles up baby Omi and drops him off to be found by Master Fung's Xiaolin temple. Omi fusses again when he sees Chase leaving, but Chase just smiles and shushes him and promises they'll meet again. "Until then, get stronger and work on your form. I want our next spar to be more challenging, alright, Omi? I'll come for you again, in the future."

And with that, Chase finally uses the Shen Gong Wu and takes himself and Hannibal back to the present time.

Tony Hancock or Hannibal Lecter: which metrics to use for volumes of blood in documents for the general public; a semi-serious quantitative and qualitative approach

Image 1: Hannibal

CONCLUSIONS When writing documents for a general audience (the man in the coffee shop, the nonbinary person on a train, the woman in the street) referring to volumes of blood:

1. use millilitres in preference to spoons (tea or table)

2. use the abbreviation ml in preference to mL

3. someone will always (ALWAYS) suggest the use of ‘arm’

Often, in documents such as patient information sheets, there will be references to blood tests where various volumes of blood may be taken. Clearly the aim is to INFORM the reader of the volume which will be taken. You want them to understand how much blood (the metric) is involved. There is a clear ethical drive for this, and it will also (hopefully) reassure the reader.

The volume of blood will be decided by the needs of the trial.

SPOILER: use millilitres and abbreviate to “ml”

HOW this volume is COMMUNICATED is decided by how the document is written.

In this essay I will demonstrate that a general audience prefers millilitres, and in addition we apparently prefer the abbreviation ml (this was an unexpected finding).

Based on results of polls (n=519)

It is important that the volume is given in a way which is clear and unambiguous: it is X quantity. This metric should not be open to interpretation.

You want your reader to feel happy about the volume of blood, to be reassured.

There is also the manner of the connotations of the metrics used. When you read a word, it will conjure various associations in the mind.

In the context of a clinical trial, you want the reader to genuinely understand what the volume means, so that true informed consent is given.

With this is mind, note that currently the metrics most often used (personal experience) for blood test volumes are millilitres or spoons (teaspoons or tablespoons).

SPOILER: use millilitres and abbreviate to “ml”

Image 2: see below somewhere spoons and mls, (author’s own, I have many spoons)

SPOILER: use millilitres and abbreviate to “ml”

In this essay I will demonstrate that a general audience prefers millilitres, and in addition we apparently prefer the abbreviation ml (this was an unexpected finding).

Based on results of polls (n=519)

Millilitres are clinical, they sound scientific. This has positives (it sounds professional), but also negatives (lacking the ‘human warmth’). There may be concern that there is a lack of true familiarity. Though people are very much aware of 5ml as a concept, their actual approximation of what this volume IS may not be accurate. Weighing against this is the ubiquity of the internet; if anyone is puzzled, they can ‘Google it’. The millilitre is an internationally recognised unit of measurement. I would also note that every parent/carer of a small human has several of these which they are incapable of throwing away:

Image 3: again, tumblr images, they come free with cough syrup, we keep them, no idea why (author’s)

Spoons are perhaps seen as hugely familiar and ‘comforting’. Most people will have spoons in their home. This domestic ‘vibe’ (as the scientific one above) has both positive and negative connotations. Positive are the familiarity, the domestic and the safe. Negative is the association with cooking, the Hannibal Lecter problem. As someone said, “What are they making with the blood? Cookies?”. In this way, spoons full of blood can become a disconcerting image, there is a very real ‘ick factor’. The Hannibal Lecter factor?

In this essay I will demonstrate that a general audience prefers millilitres, and in addition we apparently prefer the abbreviation ml (this was an unexpected finding).

Based on results of polls (n=519)

Another problem with spoons is that the quantity has regional variation, UK spoons and US spoons are not equivalent. 5 tablespoons of blood in the UK is 6 tablespoons in the USA. Spoons are also a less exact measurements than millilitres, people may have their own spoons they use for baking. In my cutlery drawer I have a ridiculous number of teaspoons, their volumes are not consistent.

Therefore, with spoons people may be confident but inaccurate with their understanding of the volume.

The abbreviation used for the two measurements may also cause confusion:

SPOILER: use millilitres and abbreviate to “ml”

Tbsp may be confused with tsp (teaspoon) and the capitalisation seems open to debate. With millilitres the convention is apparent mL, but the preferred abbreviation is ml, with a lowercase l. There is potential for confusion with 1 or uppercase I in various fonts and typefaces. People will argue this point, and indeed they do. The majority of people polled prefer ml, and I do (and this is my essay):

Image 4: Poll is ongoing but look, image at the bottom I guess - tumblr’s fun like this

Back to spoons or millilitres: I conducted three polls on different social media platforms: Facebook, BabyCentre and Twitter. The overall response n=519. The same question (give or take) was asked in each poll:

Image 5: All the polls! Yes, the people of Twitter can be silly people-images of the three (yes 3) polls

Hopefully these polls make the ml preference clear, though do note the slightly different wording of each question (damn).

Overall preference for mls was 73%, and for spoons 22% - more than three times as many people prefer mls.

CONCLUSIONS When writing documents for a general audience (the man in the coffee shop, the nonbinary person in the street, the woman on a train) referring to volumes of blood:

1. use millilitres in preference to spoons (tea or table)

2. use the abbreviation ml in preference to mL

3. someone will always (ALWAYS) suggest the use of ‘arm’

HeNLO I'm here to ask about your babbi OCs :D Which ones are mum friends, which ones are the DAD friends, and which ones are just bastard children causing trouble? Which ones always prank each other? What are the pranks? Which ones have Ghosts that act as mum friends and want their Guardians to stay out of trouble, and which ones have Ghosts that support their Guardian's BULL and go full on CHAOS mode? K thanks lub u 💕

Oh my GOD O can't believe I forgot this was in my drafts! SINCE LAST YEAR!! HOW ON EARTH DID I MISS IT IM SO SORRY IF YOU THOUGHT I WAS IGNORING YOU 😭😭

Aaaaaaaaa okay here's the list of them all, first: Rose-23, Sunshine-5 and Barnaby-19 with their Ghosts Dulce, Mocha and Hannibal, Roxy with her Ghost Wall-e, Constantine-9 and Levi-12 with their as yet unnamed Ghosts, and finally Dirk-2 and Conran-7 and their Ghosts Moira and Suzanna.

(if anyone wants to help name Con and Levi's Ghosts then you are quite welcome to!)

The mum friend, here, would be Rose—she's a Warlock, Void main, and she's retired from the front lines and runs an underground Exo-only bar/speakeasy in the lower levels of the City. She's Spanish, bisexual, and she absolutely will beat you up if you damage her bar. She's also well known for being the creator of a vicious cocktail called 'The Blue Denial'. If you drink it and you're not an Exo, you'd better be a Guardian, because you'll need one hell of a rezz for that hangover. Dulce, her Ghost, is a helpful little darling who looks like a cinnamon roll but could actually kill you.

The dad friends... They would be Sunshine and Dirk! Sunshine is a Titan, Solar main, retired from the front lines and now works as a carer for traumatized/mentally/physically ill Guardians. He's English (specifically Cockney), bisexual, and most importantly eight feet tall and built like a brick shithouse. He has thrown Shaxx off the Tower multiple times, and has almost won wrestling matches with Saint a couple times, but not quite. His Ghost, Mocha, is a cinnamon roll and you should tell her so.

Dirk is a Titan, Void main, still on active duty. He's a Scottish gentleman, aro/ace, just him his Ghost and the entire dog and cat population of the City chillin in the park. He gets along very well with Saint; they feed the pigeons together. He smokes a pipe and dresses exclusively in tweed suits like a country gentleman when he isn't on duty. He also speaks like a Scottish twitter shitpost.

Dirk, leaning back in his green plastic lawn chair on his balcony: *looks at the pigeons on the railings* "d'ye ever want tae jus wrap yersel up nice an cosy in tinfoil, an then sit in the microwave an blow yersel tae fuck up?"

Pigeon: *cooes*

Dirk: *sips whiskey* "aye, me tae."

And his Ghost, oh boy, his Ghost...

Moira is terrifying.

She has the malevolence of a bored African Grey, and the frightening intelligence to match. She is coming for your kneecaps and there is nothing you can do to stop her. She lives rent free in my head—rent free because she threatened to shank me. Her favourite hobby is pissing off absolutely any living creature with sight, mostly Fallen and Hive though, since Dirk will be Disappointed In Her if she does it to people and animals. Dirk is the is the only one she ever allows to hold her. He's pretty much the only person she likes, too, apart from Conran and Suzanna.

And now! The bastard children!!

Barnaby, Constantine, Levi, and Conran are chaos gremlins of the highest degree.

Barnaby-19 is a Hunter, Void main, retired from the front lines (unless there is a mission he feels will be fun, in which case he takes it, much to the Vanguard's chagrin). He's also Australian, is very much an "I think I will cause problems on purpose" kind of guy, and is famous in the Tower for cracking open a six pack of Foster's beer in the middle of a Crucible match while capping B all on his own. He's fireteamed with Rose and Sunny.

The Father (2021)

*contains spoilers*

Based on the world-renowned and re-enacted stage play of the same name by French writer and first-time director Florian Zeller, ‘The Father’ is a very personal portrayal of a very universal experience. Not only is it a masterclass in acting by legendary Welshman Sir Anthony Hopkins, even more importantly than that, it’s an intimate and powerful portrait of a man’s life in the throes of dementia.

These days there is an emphasis on embracing ageing and the wisdom, life experiences and insights that come from a long life. For a lot of people, however, ageing gracefully isn’t an option, and instead of shuffling off this mortal coil with memories of a life well lived and their dignity and humanity intact, they have to struggle and fight their way out.

Most of us of know something about or someone with dementia or Alzheimer's and can quite easily substitute Hopkins’ character for one of our own loved ones, but the poignancy in the performance doesn’t rely on prior knowledge. We know how hard it is for the families but we don’t think about it enough from the sufferer’s point of view. ‘The Father’ puts Anthony’s upsetting, chaotic and confusing frame of mind front and centre.

Hopkins is a powerhouse, that we know, but when you think that he won his first Oscar playing the terrifyingly magnetic and metallic tongued cannibal Hannibal Lecter in ‘Silence of The Lambs’, and has now just won his second Oscar as the frighteningly forgetful and fragile Anthony in ‘The Father’, his talent and range really does astound. At the age of 83, he is still in his prime and taking on another great role, and arguably his greatest role to date.

Banal moments of everyday life are peppered with sudden shocks and utter bewilderment as Anthony battles to make sense of his confronting new world. His existence may seem small and within the confides of one room or one flat, but his struggle is of earth-shattering proportions. Although dialogue, inner monologues and interactions are often the key cinematic tools used to convey a character’s thoughts and feelings, someone with memory loss doesn’t have the neurological energy or cohesion to explain the confusion inside their heads, so as Anthony’s descent into full blown dementia escalates, the audience is taken with him. Feelings of distress, disorientation, frustration, anger, loneliness, exhaustion, and heart-break increasingly consume Anthony’s every waking hour, and as a viewer, you very quickly begin to share the same sentiments and concerns.

Stylistically, script and production design wise, the film’s psychological roller coaster ride is strongly supported by a physical assault on the senses too. Scenes are repeated with slight variations in dialogue and staging, day becomes night and then suddenly back to day again, rooms are rearranged in the blink of an eye and a revolving door of actors come and go as the same characters. It’s amazing just how claustrophobic it can get inside your own head!

You begin to wonder how many days, weeks, or months the story is being played out over, and was he in the nursing home the whole time or did we chronologically journey from his flat, to Anne’s and then the home? Did the trauma of losing his beloved youngest daughter Lucy to an accident bring on his dementia or was it predisposed? Like the disease that is rapidly ravaging his mind, the movie and the character of Anthony is complex, with emotions that run the gamut from gentle, charming and cooperative to irate, stubborn and paranoid. He was, until very recently, a man of great intelligence and independence, so losing control and purpose understandably rocks him to the core.

His daughter Anne (the always brilliant Olivia Colman and momentarily also played by Olivia Williams) has great love, empathy and patience, but like most carers, there is only so much of her father’s everchanging moods and manners that she can endure. Her husband Paul (a deliberately disjointed joint acting effort by Mark Gatiss and Rufus Sewell) barely hides his insensitivity and implies that Anthony is intentionally burdening them by exaggerating his symptoms. He mainly treats his father-in-law’s condition with contempt and cruelty, and unless it was another lapse in reality, even physically attacks him in one of many harrowing scenes.

And like the supporting cast, ‘The Father’ often has you too paralysed by indecision. No, Anne shouldn’t have to give up her whole life to care for her ill father, however when she eventually does, you resent her for leaving him when he needs her the most. In the traumatic finale, when in a brief moment of clarity, he realises the extent of his condition and circumstance, Anthony cries “I feel as if I’m losing all my leaves”. It’s such a potent and poetic line. He feels vulnerable, exposed, upset, lonely, lost and afraid. It’s impossible to sum up how agonising and isolating it must feel to know you are slowly slipping away, but this goes some way to explain it in the simplest and saddest of terms. And if Hopkins sobbing for his “mummy” doesn’t reduce you to tears then I don’t know what will.

There are brief moments of levity, from Anthony’s obsession with his watch (or lack of it) and Parisian’s not speaking English, to his energetic interactions with his young new carer Laura (Imogen Poots), but I’m not going to lie. When I say the smiles and laughs are brief, I mean just that. Ultimately, ‘The Father’ isn’t a movie that can accommodate a happy ending and it would do a huge disservice to the ethos of the story if it did. The reality of dementia is that it doesn’t get worse before it gets better, it just gets worse. Sufferers slowly and painfully fade away into oblivion and their loved ones have to watch from the sidelines, helpless to do anything about it.

I’ve never cried as many times as I did during and after this screening, but please don’t let that put you off. Although on an emotional level it’s not for the faint of heart, anybody with a heart will feel privileged to have witnessed one of the best performances of Anthony Hopkins’ stellar career and one of the most damaging and demoralising real-life issues affecting our ageing population today.

Whether by design or devastating irony, ‘The Father’ is a movie about forgetting, but for me (and no doubt so many others), it’s a movie I will never forget.

5/5 stars

‘The Father’ is in cinemas now!

🩹 buys his little one only the best clothing, toys and supplies

🩹 alternatively, he will make his own toys and figurines for his little one/s, perfectly sculptured with a victorian-esque style

🩹 hannibal has a growing collection of board games to play with his little one (he finds rough and outdoors-y games 'unsophisticated', preferring to watch his kiddo play from the sidelines)

🩹 he watches kid shows with his regressor, even if they are tedious. he might even chuckle at a funny part every so often, though he will vehemently deny this

🩹 he's in the process of converting a room in his house into a nursery / kids bedroom. it combines both his fancy aesthetic, and whatever styles and interests his kiddo loves

🩹 he occassionally puts on different accents and personas for his regressor's stuffies to cheer them up. popular ones include; his posh london accent, thick italian accent and his (mildly terrible) australian accent

Warning: OFFENSIVE CONTENT/TRIGGERING

Okay so: Some rich asshole wants to buy/destroy/build over Franklin’s old neighborhood with condos and run everybody out, turn the little houses into huge condos only the Devin Weston type of rich pricks can afford so Frank, T an Mike plan to pull a Robin Hood and get the evidence they need to expose the guys bullshit about saving the community and making it easier for low income families to find housing, which happens to be on his phone, in his pocket AT ALL FUCKING TIMES. The one chance they have to get the device is during a fundraiser event at a local facility for the mentally disabled, the guy is set to do some outfit changes and they need to grab him when he’s alone/without his fed level security. So...rather than pose as a wealthy client wanting to donate millions to the cause.....the guys decide to dress Michael up as a severely autistic resident and have T be his carer while Franklin pulls Lamar in so they can play M’s nephews, the sons of his sister, AMANDA (I’m dying, excuse me), and her husband who unfortunately couldn’t come because he’s visiting blah blah blah, terrible plan, extremely offensive, I put a warning up so fuck you. Lots of fuck ups. Lots of awkward meetings with doctors/therapists trying to help Michael, not knowing he’s bullshitting them while getting lessons from an actual patient with autism, who just likes to be a dick in hannibal style (I wanna see what happens if I do this). Lots of Trev an M fighting about Carer Tasks and how much they need to pretend to actually do, including dressing/feeding. AGAIN! THIS IS HELLA OFFENSIVE! YOU CHOSE TO READ THIS! However, if you’ve managed to see the point of the story instead of the cringe plotline and not come for me, thank you!

The NHS A-Team caring for Mother

Mother is back home after ten days in the hospital and is the centre of a lot of attention. And not just from us, her family.

She’s on the care list of the NHS integrated community response service team, which includes a nurse, a physiotherapist, an occupational therapist, a social care assistant, a social worker and her GP. Even a handyman. All have been in attendance as the Court Circular might say.

‘I’ve got more flunkies than the Queen,’ Mother says.

Does she have more flunkies than the Queen?

She’s wrong. The Queen has over 1,000 people in the Royal Household. But I see why she thinks that. There is a large number of people going in and out of her room asking her if she needs anything. One thing I am certain of is that not even the Knights and Ladies of the Garter could be more dedicated than Mother’s band of helpers. It’s not just their practical help that’s impressive. It’s the way they speak to her. The tone in their voices sounds almost like love. I wonder if I sound as considerate when I speak to her.

I’ve nicknamed Mother’s helpers the ‘A-Team’. It’s my homage to the soldiers of fortune in the 1980s TV series, who specialised in getting people out of dodgy situations, which the legal authorities couldn’t handle. Which is exactly what this team have done for Mother: got her out of hospital, where she didn’t want to be, and got her back home with us, where she did.

Her carers are like the A-Team without the guns

The only difference between the A-Team and Mother’s team is that the NHS team is armed only with blood pressure monitors, pills and PPE; not tanks, rifles and grenades. That said, if Mother asked them to get her a tank to go shopping, I’m sure they’d sort it out.

‘Our mission is to do anything we can to stop her going back into hospital,’ said the unit’s head honcho, reminding me of the pipe puffing Colonel John ‘Hannibal’ Smith, leader of the fictitious A-Team.

Mother was taken to hospital after a fall. My daughter discovered her at seven in the morning on her back on the sisal carpet outside her bathroom, staring up at the skylight. Distressed and confused, she kept saying she didn’t want to disturb anyone. Could someone help her back to bed? I’ll be alright after a cup of tea, she said. Of course, she wasn’t.

The ambulance crew put Mother back into bed. Her condition got worse quickly despite a lakeful of sweet tea. She became delusional: she saw a man knitting flowers in the trees outside her window. She thought I was her husband and our house was a hotel. After a few days, the ambulance came again.

In hospital they think she may have dementia

In hospital, they diagnosed an attack of acute delirium. But there were no broken bones. A CTI scan suggested her brain had shrunk, though. They said this wasn’t unusual in someone her age, but to do a proper diagnosis her acute delirium had to be finished. She needed an appointment at the Memory Clinic.

‘Your Mother may have dementia,’ says the consultant. The word exploded shock waves through the family. What does this mean for her? For us?

The day she returned home, she and I sat on the patio next to a wilting tomato plant in a terracotta vase. She talked for over an hour in the sun without pausing. A dam broke inside her and a rag bag of memories, questions and thoughts came flooding out. Is this the dementia? Is this how it’s going to be now, I thought?

A week later, she is weaker but seems to be recovering. It seems that her her old sociable self has returned and when the community team come, she turns on the charm. It’s darling this, darling that. Lazarus walks again. The only strange thing is that she is speaking a weird Franglais to her carer who isn’t French, which is both bizarre and comic.

Why is she talking french to the carer?

‘Le toast est beaux,’ she says gratefully waving the half-eaten piece of toast the carer’s given her. ‘Tres bons, les eggs’

The carer smiles, patiently. I hope it doesn’t sound patronising.

‘She thinks the carer’s French and is trying to be friendly by talking to her in her own language,’ says my wife. ‘It’s harmless.’

‘As long as she doesn’t start talking in tongues, we’re fine,’ says my son.

The doorbell goes. The delivery driver hands over a large box of books about dementia. The first one I pick up is called ‘Breakfast with the Centenarians’. Is this book a prophecy? A sign that she will be breakfasting with us in three years? I make a note to call the GP to see if Mother’s appointment at the Memory Clinic has been fixed yet.

'FANTASTIC BEASTS: THE CRIMES OF GRINDELWALD' NON-SPOILER REVIEW: 7½⚡/ 10 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ In 1927, Gellert Grindelwald [the dangerously powerful dark wizard that was captured at the end of the 1st film - ' Fantastic Beasts & Where to Find Them'] escapes from his captors while being transported from the US to London - leaving a trail of bodies in his wake. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Grindelwald believes that the Obscurial Credence Barebone is the only person who can kill the Hogwarts Professor Albus Dumbledore; in anticipation of this, Dumbledore dispatches Newt Scamander to locate Credence [who has resurfaced in Paris after being thought dead] before Grindelwald finds him 1st. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ To say any more about the story would give away too much; suffice to say that there are several revelations that make it worthwhile seeing this movie. 🤫 #ProtectTheSecrets 🤫 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Eddie Redmayne continues to standout as the lead character, Newt Scamander. Despite everyone thinking that Dumbledore, Grindelwald & Credence are the strongest wizards alive, Newt's magizoologist abilities to communicate & control many of the 'Fantastic Beasts' [in both the original & the sequel movies] are skills that no other wizard has. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Ezra Miller, once again, does well as the Obscurial Credence Barebone; the ritualistic beatings that he received at the hands of his carer [in the 1st film] continue to have an effect on his tortured personality. Credence is the character that I feel sorriest for as he is just trying to find his place in the world despite everyone trying to manipulate him. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Jude Law does well as a young Albus Dumbledore but it is his antagonist, Johnny Depp as Gellert Grindelwald, who steals the show; Grindelwald's Svengali-like/Hannibal Lector-ish ability to manipulate people is actually his most dangerous ability - despite also being a powerful dark wizard as well. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Do not miss this sequel; Hogwarts fans will love this movie as it is far better than the original. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ A massive thank you to @roadshow & @playmakerdigital for the Sydney Premiere held at @event_cinemas; 'Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald' is out in 🇦🇺 from November 15th, 2018. ©️ (at Event Cinemas) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bqryr6LB7gO/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=hs94blp57xif

goodnight, night light 🌙

regressor!will had a bad day at work and gets ready for bed with a doting carer!hannibal looking after him 💛

🐻 this is my first time posting any kind of fanfic online for years i am a bit nervous... i hope i did an okay job! pls enjoy this short hannibal piece 🫶

will sat at the edge of his bed, swinging his legs. it was a little past his normal bedtime, since hannibal had let him stay up to watch an extra episode of bluey before bed and drink a bottle of warm milk.

the older man was being more lenient with will's rules today, since the regressor had a particularly bad day at work and returned home in the evening completely nonverbal.

currently, a few hours later and still nonverbal, will was content and sitting on the bed, waiting for hannibal to finish choosing tonight's pyjamas from the walk-in wardrobe within their shared bedroom.

even regressed, will didnt care too much for what he wore, and usually entrusted his papa with making such decisions. although hannibal sometimes made him wear fancy clothes, such as silky button up shirts with expensive trims, the older man often respected will's preference for basic clothes, especially whilst he was small.

a minute later, as will was starting to doze off where he sat, head nodding against his shoulder, hannibal reappeared in the bedroom, a beige onesie decorated with sleepy brown sausage dogs resting easily on his arm.

"here we are, my little fawn" the caregiver crouched in front of his baby, holding the chosen pyjamas up in front of him. his voice was soft, gentle and warm, like slowly dripping honey. will melted.

"what do you think of this?"

the regressor simply chewed on his jumper sleeve and nodded an affirmative, but this was enough for his papa, who gave him a fond smile, before the two stood up and will began to get undressed.

once changed into the dog onesie- hannibal helped him after the little one tried to fit his head through a sleeve- it was time for will to settle properly into bed.

he'd brushed his teeth and went to the toilet ten minutes prior, and winston was already waiting for him, curled up at the end of the bed and blissfully snoozing.

"bed time, mylimasis" hannibal pulled back a corner of the plush duvet so that will could climb fully into bed, before he moved onto plumping up the pillows to his baby's liking.

will obediently crawled under the covers and laid back on the now sufficiently plump pillows. he raised his fingers to his mouth before moving them again, sleepily signing a 'thank you'.

"you are welcome, little lamb" hannibal murmured, happy with will's good manners. he moved to the bedside table, switching off the lamp.

across the room by the bedroom door, a plug in night light in the shape of a crescent moon glowed faintly in the darkness.

"goodnight, sweet will"

hannibal was met with a tiny snore in response.

can you please do cg!will graham headcannons? can it be focused for someone who regressed to the ages of 3-8? thanks!! just lmk if you need any more details or anything

🐻 hi! i sure can, hannibal is my special interest and this ask made me so happy! i hope u enjoy

🐶 carer!will headcanons

🐕 will's favourite carer petnames are either dad or just will. he likes to keep it simple, but he will oblige any names his regressor is particularly fond of

🐕 he is quite a hands on and hands dirty carer. meaning- he will take his little one out on adventures as much as possible with the dogs!

🐕 a lot of toys he buys for his regressor in the beginning are nostalgic items for him and toys that he grew up with, not necessarily modern or trendy kids toys

🐕 ^ of course, one episode of paw patrol later and he is researching all the best paw patrol merchandise for his kiddo

🐕 if his baby regresses younger (3-5), he tends to use more affectionate nicknames like sweetpea and little one, or little pup

🐕 if his kiddo regresses older (6-8), will uses nicknames such as kid/kiddo and bud/buddy

🐕 he likes to sit down and read together with his small one in the evenings. he will read them a bedtime story, but also likes to hear them read and help them with difficult words

🐕 get used to chicken nuggets and fries for dinner! he isn't the best cook, but he will add vegetables every so often for 'variety'
