The Truth About the Devlins by Lisa Scottoline

When TJ's older brother, John, asks him to leave their father's birthday dinner with him to help him out, he is not prepared for how this will completely turn everything around in their perfect family.

I loved this. There was a bit of a lull in the middle, but overall, I had fun listening to this and wanted to know what would happen next.

Recommended for: mystery/thriller fans, people interested in stories about recovery, people looking for an interesting story about a family of lawyers

Content Warnings: alcoholism, addiction, relapse, murder, pet illness, John (iykyk)

I'm back >:) with a fun question this time.

If BW were to take place in the planet of Manas(where MotH takes place), what class of magic would each of the main cast get? Like necromancer, wizard, etc.

And what about if MotH were to take in New Tenesse? Which class would each one get?

Hmm...this is quite difficult to do without breaking too much canon, but I'll try my best.

Albus wouldn't have been ousted as someone to be hated or despised. That being said, he'd definitely become some sort of soldier. Maybe a warrior of Fusfeimyol, most likely specializing in offensive boosting enchantments and other battle spells. Fighting, not to survive, but for the thrill solely. He'd be a Battlemage.

Devlin wouldn't be designing weapons. I actually think he'd let his creativity shine in the way it wants and become a toy maker. Technically, still an artificer, just in a more fantastical and in a profession he enjoys much more.

Faith would become a school teacher in the impoverished nations like Fusfeimyol. She'd probably run into Albus at some point. Actually that's pretty cute now that I think about it lol! The Gladiator and the School Teacher. Adorable.

Now, let's move to the MotH cast! This was a bit trickier so I wrote out their stories in this world.

Zed would be considered weak by most standards for Paladins. However, his heritage would anoint him a great deal of prestige. In this AU where the MotH characters are swapped with BW characters, I would say that Zed would be a son of the Paladin King. But not just any Paladin King, a king who would be assassinated, most likely by the Triad, and force Zed to escape into hiding. If the Triad were to ever catch him, he'd be killed, or worse...this makes Zed a nomadic warrior with no clan or family to call his own. Constantly running, or else he'll suffer the same fate as the rest of his family.

Raze would probably have completely different powers. She might not even be a star captain considering the relationship between New Tennessee and the Landstar. Raze would most likely be one of the founding Paladins, or at least one of their children. She could be a Sister Paladin, or a Knight Sargent, until meeting Magreos. Together they'd most likely try to start a clan and succeed actually. Magreos would be able to vent his violent tendencies in combat as a sort of sharp relief, however that could spell bad news for their relationship moving forward...

Makkaro would be a Knight for sure. While he is smart, he's not technically minded. No, instead he is on the side of justice and fighting for honor and truth. Makkaro, being as smart as he is however, would make him a target for the Triad to be watchful. They like keeping their fighters dumb. They don't think, they kill. Makkaro doing both is a dangerous combination. Even more so when Makkaro inevitably picks up reading when he falls in love with the Paladin King's daughter (Gienne), resulting in him getting captured by the Triad who scramble his mind and make him black out all of it, before sending him back to his family under the guise that he suffered some form of demonic attack and physical trauma which developed in the form of Amnesia. From that point on, Makkaro would be afraid to do any more fighting, in fear of what might happen.

Gienne, as I said would be the Paladin Kings daughter. She might actually be inducted into the Triad, given her position and intelligence, but I think Makkaro would make her see passed that. This of course would lead to Triad interference again, where they would make her hate Makkaro and want nothing to do with such a sniveling coward who can't pick up a sword and doesn't even remember her. After that, she'd be sent back to her blissfully happy life as a princess.

Sorry for how long this all was! You may have noticed how depressing the lives of the MotH characters are on New Tennessee. Surprise surprise, it's not a happy world lol While a lot of clans do enjoy the thrill of hunting monsters and being blissfully ignorant of those in power behind the scenes manipulating everyone, characters with as much importance and personality as these would typically get screwed over. And fast too.

[juliusthedressmaker]

Hey Julius, in all seriousness, what was your relationship like with your daughter, Emma? I know it should be more like "what was your relationship like with your kids" but I always find myself thinking about Emma when I think of your family when you were alive. Did you ever make her dresses for her birthday? do you ever think about her?

(P.S. what hair color should I do for my extensions next?)

.... This is a topic I'm extremely uncomfortable with. I'm uncomfortable with babies and children, I have my reasons but don't even try to find out - I will get extremely angry and you will not like me when I'm angry, you know?

I would refuse to even address this if it wasn't for the fact that I only briefly saw her once, ever. Not even close up, but across the room and I was so drunk it was all spinning. See, I died merely days after her birth.

I do not like to talk about my children. Ever. When it comes to Octavian and Devlin, I refuse to acknowledge the truth. Octavian is my older brother now and Devlin is my twin, I less than kindly request you only refer to them as such and that you, and everyone else, view them as such. In fact, this is what the three of us all agree and demand how to be acknowledged by everyone as.

Please never ask me about my children again, the topic is incredibly bothersome and the mere mention of them brings back very terrible memories, which turn onto flashbacks. I am already beginning to have flashbacks so I will leave it there.

Now, I'm going to excuse myself to go drink myself into a stupor and put a mountain of cocaine up my nose, before I completely fall apart - well, I might regardless. Who knows. I'm having fun, don't I look like I'm having fun?!??

-jules. Or whatever. idfk I'm not quite my usual self after this.

OOC: I'm so sorry for what a dick head response this is but I keep Julius and Killian in character on their blogs and this would be what Julius would respond 💔 if you want to know why Julius feels this way, just send me an ask about it on @sanityshorror and I'll drop a big ass lore bomb I never have publicly about something that happened to Julius which led him to this mental space of not even wanting to be near children, and just the sight of young kids and babies often send him into a full blown panic attack and flash back.

#//ooc: if you want to know about all this stuff ask me on my main blog #//i keep my characters fully in character on their RP blogs #//unfortunately that means they are going to be assholes in their responses at times #//i genuinely feel bad for having to type out such a dick head reply but this is what Julius would reply #//he has trauma that involved a child and it's a very big oof #//to be clear Julius did not do anything to harm the child #julius the dressmaker #//rp blog

jurisprudence & criminology intro reading list.

this list is not an exhaustive guide to any of these fields. my main goal here is to propose some key concepts so that you can start exploring theory on your own. it should also go without saying that it is not composed merely of scholarship that i consider good or even truthful; getting familiar with historical themes is very much beneficial for the broader context. additionally, while jurisprudence and criminology are closely related fields, and having some general idea about jurisprudence makes studying criminology easier, it's not a requirement, so feel free to skip sections as you please. lastly: this is a mix of more theory-heavy and also relatively light reading; if something is difficult to understand, google and youtube are your best friends, and there's a good chance other texts will appear more accessible.

jurisprudence

one of the main questions of jurisprudence is: what is is the proper relationship between law and morality? the following texts focus mostly on that question.

main schools to explore:

legal naturalism notable names: ian fuller, john finis. (naturalist-leaning): patrick devlin. proposed readings: 1. devlin, p. (1959) morals and the criminal law, 2. fuller, l. (1964), the morality of law 3. finnis, j. (1980) natural law and natural rights.

legal positivism notable names: jeremy bentham, john austin, h. l. h. hart, joseph raz. proposed readings: 1, stanford encyclopedia of philosophy: the legal positivism entry, 2. hart, h. (1961) the concept of law, 3. hart, h. (1963) the legal enforcement of morality, 4. raz, j. (1979) the authority of law.

legal interpretivism notables names: ronald dworkin proposed reading: 1. stanford enclycopedia of philosophy: the intepretivism entry, 2. dworkin, r. (1978) taking rights seriously.

critical theory (generally legal positivist in the simplest terms, but not necessarily comfortable with that label) & sociology. notable names: max weber, emile durkheim, carol smart (feminism), achille mbembe (postcolony) proposed reading: 1. smart, c. (1989) feminism and the power of law. 2. hardar, p. (2008) law, orientalism and postcolonialism: the jurisdiction of the lotus-eaters.

criminology

main topics to explore:

biological theories (look: phrenology, degeneration theory, atavistic theory of crime.) notable names: cesare lombroso, b.a. morel. this is mostly historical content; most textbooks on criminology will have a section on it. google is also your best friend. original source texts are mostly pseudo-scientific so i recommend looking into them only if you're specifically curious.

functionalism & structuralism notable names: emile durhkeim, robert merton proposed readings: 1. durkheim, e. (1972) crime as normal behaviour, 2. merton, r. (1938) social structure and anomie

marxist criminology notable names: willem bonger, thorster sellin proposed readings: 1. bonger, w. (1916) criminality and economic conditions, 2. sellin, t. (1938) culture conflict and crime

control theory notable names: jackson toby, travis hirschi. proposed readings: 1. pratt, t. (2011). "key idea: hirschi’s social bond/social control theory." in: key Ideas in criminology and criminal justice.

labelling theory notable names: howard becker proposed readings: 1. goode, e. (2018) labeling theory.

penal theory

in terms of penal theory, you can find plenty reliable sources and reading lists online. here are some of my personal theory-heavy picks.

key readings:

the iep entry on punishment,

the stanford encyclopedia of philosophy entry on legal punishment,

carlen, p. (2013) against rehabilitation: for reparative justice.

davis, a. (2003) are prisons obsolete?

foucault, m. (1975) discipline and punish: the birth of the prison.

johnstone, g., (2002), restorative justice: ideas, values, debates,

johnstone, g. (ed.), (2007), handbook of restorative justice.

#this took me a while. sorry #feel free to request pdfs from me but it might take a while bc my life has been soo hectic. and i don't have all of them saved #<- but i do have institutional access to most of them so it won't be an issue #maybe i'll make a google drive later or something. #also just fyi. i'm not a specialist in either of these fields.

[messenger-of-stupidity]

NAH NAH NAH

Okay. Let's go through the thoughts of this latest update. There's a lot so buckle up buttercup.

1. Kravitas is literally so based. He's willing to spare Albus the suffering of long travel just because he's bored when typically he would enjoy Albus suffering.

2. Only Albus would risk insanity to spite a demon. Ever heard of cutting off your nose to spite your face, Albus? Seriously, these dude shot himself out of a fucking canon to stop Devlin from touching this hella cursed sword, but in typical Albus fashion when it's his safety and emotional welfare at stake common sense flies out the gods be damned window.

4. Is Kravitas really a demon or was his statement last episode about being more than that the truth that Albus just chose to call bullshit on?

5. Kerano, sweetie, if you don't like the sweater you don't gotta be nice to me and lie. Tis okay

6. Dad is back with his video of a casual demon attack. A normal Thursday. You'd think violence could slow enough for Faithful to get some groceries but I guess not.

7. AN ADULT TALK? EXCUSE ME? also yes now shoo child.

8. Guess I'll just go in a bunker and braid some hair or some shit. Whatever.

9. Don't you love it when the father figure of your child is so obsessed with transformers that he turns into a robot? (Yes I know he didn't turn into a robot. It just sounded kind of robotic in my head and it was funny.

10. What's the song called? It was kind of a vibe.

11. Oh my God we're raising a menace, thief, AND a liar. Where did we go wrong? 😭 Also can Faithful read minds? She was able to hear Kerano's mind about a key or something before Kerano had it, and was able to read the thoughts after that.

12. Move aside, Faithful is coming through like a badass. Hold the child

13. Oh neat. Both Albus and I have yelling voices in our head. 🥲

14. "I AM THE GREATEST GOOD YOURE EVER GONNA GET" - Faithful 2023

15. IS HE CUTTING OFF HIS HAND?! KERANO LOOK AWAY

16. Are... Are you seriously gonna make me choose between my two husbands right now? WHERES MY POLY OPTION? (Albus and Devlin in strictly familial relationship with each other. No condoning incest here)

-Branch-

Albus Route:

- yeah u tell him Devlin! How dare he try to reject us after saying it was our choice. Bitch

- UH I UH UHM ER

- daddy? Sorry. Daddy? Sorry. Daddy? Sorry

- HOW MANY ROUNDS? Albus let her BREATHE before you fuck her to death omg

- I thought we became a bio mom to half demon children. But nah turns out we became a slutty saint

- YOOOO another thing in common with Albus! We both don't like kids. For different reasons but the point still remains

- Awww. He misses Devlin.

- Kerano is wholesome but I ain't forgiving her for snatching that key

- wait does anyone remember when he said he wouldnt tap faithful with a ten foot pole? Does that mean he tapped her with an eleven foot pole to stay true to his word?

- Devlin Route -

- that's what your brother said to me in an alternate reality when I chose him too.

- Albus back with the orgies. My angsty brain McThinks it's some copium since that's his whole "nothing hurts me!" Mask

- "HES A ROCKIN SPACE AGE BACHELOR MAN" I hope he gets his dream of being a monsterfucker

- Faithful got that holy rizz sheeeeeeesh

- astrology 🥰

- wait nevermind. Just some brotherly love

- you can call me darling any day of the week baby. I am living for it.

- Awww starry kiss. 🥹

Update: I keep forgetting there's a high chance that GBA will see this... BUT YOU KNOW WHAT?! I STAND BY WHAT I SAID (/lh) 😤😤😤

Update #2: for those asking about the third route thoughts, that's a secret that I'm saving for a fic.

[theodoradevlin]

Meet Theo

I know nobody cares that much BUT shamelessly introducing my MC cause all I seem to do is drop her name with no context, but I'm getting attached to her, so here's some background + indulgent doodles in case anyone is curious:

NAME: THEODORA DEVLIN NICK NAMES: THEO (Preferred), THEE (If you're feeling affectionate)

Birthday: February 25th

Patronus: Falcon

House: Hufflepuff

Wand Type: Sycamore, Dragon Heartstring - 10 Inches.

Quidditch Position: Chaser

Familiar: Owl, Hewin.

Physical Traits: Gray Eyes, with wavy/unruly auburn hair that sometimes looks like the deep dark brownish reds of fall - or at times brighter shades of copper depending on the light. Fuller upper lip, usually smirking or with brows pulled into concentration. Also big time blusher - which Seb loves to tease her about.

Personality Traits: Theo has a built sense of pragmatism that developed in her childhood due to hard choices she had to make, and fears she had to overcome. While typically strategic about approaching a situation, she is still mostly willing to try anything once just to do it.

Fiercely loyal, and slightly reckless, she will often be filling up time trying to help others that, before she realizes it, her nights usually blend into the early morning hours. Once she has time for hobbies at the end of they day - it usually involves solving a good puzzle, or reading about ancient tales while curled up with Highwing.

Despite having all the selflessness and hope of a Hufflepuff, Theo finds herself conflicted and slightly attracted to the darker parts of herself ....while also always trying to constantly do more for others to hide that part of her. Because of the truth of her darker self, she finds a strong friendship with Ominis Gaunt and Sebastian Sallow who seem to be able to relate to her trauma.

While she is influenced by the cunning and wit of her Slytherin friends, the boys tend to become more self deprecating, which will wind up with Theo using her emotional support Hufflepuff tendencies to bring them back up, and remind them to hope. She can't stand those who are unjust to others, and also has a great fear of loosing those she becomes close to again - so she will protect just them fiercely, which will lead her into a little bit of a frenzy. A trait that is apparent and contributed to her impressive duelling reputation as school champion - a title Sebastian warns her he is coming back for soon.

While she spends her emotional capacity mostly on others, she has been ignoring a few internal battles of her own that she stubbornly refuses to acknowledge.

Backstory:

Theo was born to David and Evelyn Devlin, both muggles.

As a child, she was happy and trusting - always running barefoot, rescuing rabbits, or constantly asking questions to all those she came across

Her mother was a librarian, while her father was an archeologist, which was partly why she was instilled with so much curiosity even at a young age.

Because of their professions, neither Mr. or Mrs. Devlin believed much in the propriety of the age, constantly letting Theo run in the woods or traveling together while her father was on site digs.

During one excavation in particular, her parents come across Miriam and Fig. Two seemingly ordinary historians that approached her father about the history of the area, and if they had stumbled across any artifacts made of ancient metal.

As it turns out, they had. After stumbling upon an odd looking relic, the camp is attacked in the night. Theo is woken by fire, and shouting. She rushes to find her parents tent, only to find that they have been murdered, and the relic gone.

Theo responds in panic, ancient magic surging through her for the first time. The attackers are all immediately killed, and Theo is left alone and shaking, not having known she was magic - much less capable of murdering everyone in a two mile radius from her.

Fig and Miriam rush back, hearing the commotion and find her there, clutching to her parents bodies, covered in blood. From that day forth, Theo finds herself plagued by nightmares of blood - unable to handle looking at even a cut on her skin.

They do all they can for her, take her in and explain everything.

They explain to her about the ancient magic, the wizarding world - everything. But it's too late for her to be in awe of it because she blames herself for drawing these people to her parents, and for their deaths. And Fig himself will blame himself for the loss of her parents for many, many years.

Over the next few years as she lives with her aunt, Fig decides to keep in contact with her, keeping the hope of magic alive and visiting her often, and she slowly decides to become more curious about the good possibilities of magic, and the world it exists in.

As he teaches her the wonder of it all, she comes to see him as a father figure, and also eventually is able to find the hope and curiosity at the possibility in such a world - where perhaps she can harness her powers for good, instead of destruction. If there's anyway she can redeem herself, and use it to constantly do good and help others - maybe she can eventually forgive herself.

After years of pressing from Fig, and though she has missed years of schoolwork, she eventually agrees to go with him to Hogwarts, where the journey begins in her fifth year.

Currently Listening: The Truth About the Devlins by Lisa Scottoline

I'm liking this so far. I've only read Scottoline's historical fiction so far, and I'm excited to try out a thriller by her (especially when I've been having a hot streak in the mystery/thriller genre lately).

Ask her her favorite color

RALPH DEVLIN: So. What’s your favorite color?

TRUDY TULSE: PURPLE. SLIPPERY PURPLE.

She taps away at the console’s expansive keyboard faster than your eyes can keep up with.

CEREBELLE RAGSDILL: I like pink!

GIGI TULSE: HOW : INTERESTING : WE HAVE COMMON GROUND : I ALSO LIKE : #PINK : BUT FUCHSIA : IS OBJECTIVELY BETTER

CEREBELLE RAGSDILL: Uh. No WAY?! What do you mean “objectively better”? Says who?!

GIGI TULSE: MY : SOURCES

CEREBELLE RAGSDILL: Can you cite them?

GIGI TULSE: NO

GIGI TULSE: I MADE : THEM UP

GIGI TULSE: I : PLAYED : YOU. ;)

CEREBELLE RAGSDILL: ….O-okay???

CEREBELLE RAGSDILL: This isn’t going anywhere - Ralph, what about you? What’s your favorite color?

You look down at the soles of your shoes, gripping the hem of your hat.

RALPH DEVLIN: Scarlet. Scarlet is my favorite color.

CEREBELLE RAGSDILL: …Pf-HA. You’re just saying that because it’s your hair color, aren’t ya?

You chuckle.

Heiress of vile Au Laverna sandiego

Laverna awoke in her room in her family’s infamous manor that stood isolated on a green isle off the coast of Ireland. Her head wanted to remain on the luxuriously soft mattress and pillow covered in a white silk set. She longed to sleep in on this foggy chilly Irish morning, when there was a thundering footstep approaching her door. She quickly sat up; before a familiar redheaded lad barged into her room with some medical marvel, he cooked up in his underground laboratory all night.

“Babe, guess what” Devlin excitedly cried out, Laverna shook her head with a sheepish smirk growing across her freckled pale face. “Did you find a cure for cancer?” Laverna asked her love.

Devlin groaned in response; “no, i didn't make a cure for cancer, i might have made. a cure for your autoimmune disease.” Devlin wanted to cure Laverna for a myriad of reasons. She was Carmen Sandiego's daughter; the universe wanted to punish Carmen for her crimes by giving her a chronically ill child. Her child’s immune system attacks her collagen, organs and bones leaving her with a vampire-like appearance.

As a result, Vile’s medical crew named this newly discovered disease as Helluva Arthritic Disease. “Oh, that's umm nice,” Laverna replied with a pronounced frown. Many mad doctors and crazy scientists have all given Laverna and her mother false hopes for any medical intervention of this tormentous condition.

“Did you ask my mom for permission? You know, she's getting fed up with all of those invasive treatments I have had to endure.” Laverna bluntly responded to her boyfriend with a dismissive question.

“No,” Devlin said, rubbing his fluffy hair which reminded Laverna of the highland cattle known for their copper hair.

She bit her lip revealing one of the characteristics of the disease. Her canines were withered away into razor sharp fangs. A slight tilt of her head startled Devlin. “I am a lost cause; I fainted on the last heist before this condition was diagnosed. Which reflected poorly upon my mother’s shrewd reputation. I was only thirteen and I'm barely twenty years old now.”

Devlin knew that; he’s heard it all from his older colleagues in the medical district of vile’s many enterprises in the criminal underworld. The surface news outlets ran wild with accusations of child abuse, such as child labor, assault and starvation. All of it was further from the truth since Laverna. Carmen’s best kept secret had publicly made herself known in such a scandal. had snuck onto that heist against her mother’s clear orders to stay home,

“You are new here, Mom hired you about six months ago; She thought I needed someone around my age to talk to.” Laverna discussed before climbing out of one of the softest beds at the manor.

“Six months? It feels like I've been here for years.” Devlin teased as he sneakily watched Laverna dig through her drawers to find a suitable outfit for this 6-degree Celsius day on the isle of vile.

It was six thirty in the morning; Carmen would be checking in on the youngest ones in her league soon Laverna pulled out a Dark Grey Cashmere mock Turtleneck and Her favorite woolen red tartan skirt; woolen gray knee highs and some black leather boots.

She ordered Devlin to leave the room so she could change out of her red flannel pajamas.; despite his verbal protest he quickly leaves not wanting his boss to catch him looking at her.

It wasn’t long before the breakfast bell rang loudly, which Laverna met with a determined grin across her face. She grabs Devlin's arm and lovingly tugs him along to the dining room.

'Cillian Murphy has said his new film, Small Things Like These, uncovers a dark chapter in recent Irish society and that he was "emotionally knocked out" by the story of a Magdalene Laundry in smalltown Ireland in the 1980s.

The film is an adaptation of Claire Keegan's bestseller of the same name and became the first Irish film to open the Berlin International Film Festival on Thursday.

Murphy stars opposite Zara Devlin, Emily Watson, Eileen Walsh, and Michelle Fairley in the adaptation of Wexford author Keegan's 2021 Booker Prize-nominated novel and is also among the producers.

According to the synopsis, the film takes place in an Irish town over Christmas in 1985, "when devoted father and coal merchant Bill Furlong (Murphy) discovers startling secrets kept by the convent in his town, along with some shocking truths of his own.

"The film reveals truths about Ireland's Magdalene Laundries - horrific asylums run by Roman Catholic institutions from the 1820s until 1996, ostensibly to reform 'fallen young women’."

Speaking to RTÉ at the Berlinale, Murphy said: "It’s a lot to take on, it’s certainly a collective trauma we’re all processing. My generation and an older generation, it is still something we are trying to figure out.

"Books and art and film can be a balm to that wound more than government reports or academic papers.

"I think above all the film has to entertain and you have to be involved in it emotionally, but if it asks a few questions, that’s a bonus."

Small Things Like These tells a very Irish story, but Murphy doesn't see that as a barrier to the film attracting a wider audience.

"Its universality lies in its specificity," he said.

"We showed it in New York and LA and people responded in the same way and the response we're having here in Berlin is the same. There are very raw emotions to the film that people respond to, and the fact that it’s located in Irish society is no barrier to it."

Small Things Like These, which aims to be in cinemas this Autumn, reunites Murphy with Peaky Blinders director Tim Mielants, and the script has been written by Murphy's long-time collaborator, playwright Enda Walsh.

Speaking about how the project came about, the Cork actor said: "I love Claire Keegan’s work, all of her work, and I read the story quite early. It knocked me out emotionally, I thought it was beautiful and then I began to think of it as a film slowly, then I brought it to Alan, brought it to Tim and then Enda. Matt Damon and Ben Affleck became involved and then Eileen and it gathered momentum really quickly."'

Arguably one of (if not the) most successful driver to come through The Road to Indy, it might be easy to assume that Kyle Kirkwood has an arrogance about him. That couldn't be further from the truth. Highly regarded in the paddock, Kyle has a reputation for being levelheaded and easy-going.

His rookie season with AJ Foyt was not an easy one but he persevered with a smile on his face. His first two races at Andretti were certified Train Wrecks but his weekend in Long Beach where he claimed pole and his maiden victory showed that his success in the lower categories was not a fluke by any means.

If you want to find Kyle off of a race track, your best bet would be to find the nearest Floridian body of water. Diving, fishing and surfing are his favorite hobbies and it's not rare to see his pals (who also drive race cars) Oliver Askew and Logan Sargeant with him on his adventures.
