Hopefully this isn’t downvoted instantly, because I know people seem to get strangely very defensive about Beast’s characterization in this run. I think there is a lot of miscommunication whenever a Beast fan complains about how he was depicted here. Often times people will discount those complaints because they think Beast fans just don’t want him to go bad, when that doesn’t really seem to be the whole truth from what I’ve seen. Ultimately, the complaints I raise and I have seen others raise are more about thinking the writing of his spiral in X-Force 2019 was not done well rather than that said spiral shouldn’t have happened at all. With the Krakoa era coming to an end, and “From the Ashes” having the now-rebooted Beast who is pulled all the way from his time on The Defenders, I don’t see any of the flaws here being addressed beyond characters casually referring to how bad he became. So I wanted to take this time in the in-between, where our new Beast is apparently just chilling on Wonder Man’s couch while the rest of the X-Men fight against Orchis and Nimrod, to once and for all lay out the flaws of Beast’s villainous era, and establish not that it shouldn’t have happened, but that it could have been way better.
Problem 1: A Lack of Pathos:
Most X-Men fans who have been reading for awhile will agree that it’s honestly surprising more mutants haven’t gone down a dark path. Their history is one of striving for acceptance, putting their lives on the line for people who would rather see them dead, and being rewarded with not one but multiple genocides on their population. Some of the most interesting stories can actually come from a formally “upstanding” mutant finally deciding enough is enough. When Cyclops went down his “villainous” path, it made a lot of sense. We’d seen him becoming more disenfranchised with the dream for years. We’d seen his trust in Xavier erode time and time again, and so when he decided to stop asking for acceptance and start demanding it, it was hard to blame him. Even as we saw most of his friends turn against him, that didn’t stop people from declaring “Cyclops Was Right,” because his perspective could easily be understood, and he did achieve results. More recently in X-Men ‘97, we saw Rogue go down a dark path in the wake of Genosha being wiped out, including Magneto and Gambit. Again, this was understood, and it was an interesting direction for her character.
This sort of turn would also make a ton of sense for Hank McCoy. Did you know that back towards the start of the original Uncanny X-Men run, Hank was actually the first X-Men we ever saw to leave the team and say that Magneto was right, after he and Bobby were attacked by an angry mob because Hank used his powers to save a young child? Over the years, one of Hank’s most recurring struggles and arcs is self-loathing and eventual acceptance of his condition. Hank has always been at his darkest when he’s trapped in his spiral of self-loathing, but when he comes out the other side, he tends to be one of the most optimistic mutants when it comes to coexistence with humans. He was out making connections and fighting alongside non-mutants before anyone else. Joining the Avengers and Defenders, speaking on behalf of mutant rights before congress, dating human women who were able to accept his appearance, blue fur and all. Until they weren’t… looking at you, Trish Tilby.
So with all of this in mind, it would honestly be an extremely interesting arc to see Hank, this optimistic mutant who has spent his life building bridges and making connections with humanity, to be slowly beaten down and start to believe peace is not an option. As one of the original X-Men, he has been there through every tragedy that struck the mutant population. And as one of the smartest X-Men, he has usually been at the center of these crises. He has seen advancements in science meant to eradicate the mutants. He has fought against viruses that threaten to drive them extinct. He was there in the wreckage of Genosha. He has seen countless friends killed again and again. He has suffered his own mutation evolving and making him less and less human-looking. He saw the development of a mutant “cure” and was tempted to take it. He has seen it all.
And so that brings us to Krakoa. This is the moment where the mutants as a whole decided enough was enough. If they could not be accepted by humanity, they would pack up and form their own nation, and they would force humanity to accept that they exist by developing life-saving drugs that other nations would have to rely on. And what is one of the first things that happens after the establishment of Krakoa? Hank witnesses assassins infiltrate the island and assassinate Charles Xavier. This right here is honestly the perfect setup for Hank to go darker than he has before. Even after literally segregating the mutant population from humanity, like humanity seemed to want, they still decided to come and kill the man at the forefront of the movement. And Hank, recently placed in charge of mutant black-ops, would likely see that all options are on the table.
Unfortunately, Hank’s actual pathos surrounding the decisions he would go on to make is not explored by the book itself. The book has no interest in detailing Hank’s fall from grace as we saw with Cyclops before him. The book just wants us to accept that Hank has already fallen. And in fact, according to the writing, maybe he never had anywhere to fall from. Any time a character in X-Force tries to ask important questions to understand Hank’s thought process, they are cut off. Usually by Wolverine saying “He’s always been like this.” And then on one occasion, when Wolverine asked Hank why he was doing all this dark shit, Hank said, “Didn’t you read the script? I’ve always been like this.” There is no attempt to examine Hank as a character. We don’t need to know why Hank makes the decisions he does, because this book wants Hank to be a black and white villain and so that’s what he will be. Why? Because he’s always been like this.
Problem 2: Rapid Escalation:
One of the major defenses people have when it comes to Krakoan Hank is that he has apparently been on the road to his villainous self for over a decade. The X-Force run itself loved to have characters spout a list of Hank’s previous “crimes” without any context involved, as justification for why he was acting the way he did in the current run. The problem is, that context is very important. Because it shows the disparity in the Hank of previous stories who made mistakes with good intentions vs the Hank of X-Force who did heinous shit because he wanted to. This was less a plane making a slow descent and more a plane that was slowly descending, but then its engines shut off and it plummeted into a fiery explosion.
To make this case, we need to briefly analyze the previous perceived transgressions of Hank McCoy to show what they actually meant for his character and how they differ from the Bond villain X-Force would present us with. Let’s start with Threnody. Somehow, Threnody became a bit of a buzzword for the beginning of the end for Hank. When people talk about the history of Hank and Threnody, they will usually present it as one of Hank’s worst sins, saying something like “Hank callously handed Threnody over to Mr. Sinister so he could experiment on and abuse her!!!” It kind of makes for some whiplash when you actually read the Threnody story people are talking about. Here is a brief rundown of what actually happens:
Threnody is a young woman who cannot control her powers. It causes her no end of grief, and when we are introduced to her, she is homeless and constantly in danger of hurting herself or others. Beast, Rogue, and Iceman come across Threnody who has been found first by Mr. Sinister. Sinister actually has a vested interest in curing the Legacy Virus, and believes he can help Threnody master her powers, at which point she will prove vital in his efforts to study said Virus. Notably, Threnody wants to go with Sinister here. While Rogue disapproves, Hank does believe that Sinister is actually Threnody’s best option, openly stating Sinister can actually help her gain control and the X-Men cannot, because, as Hank directly says, Sinister is willing to damn parts of his soul in pursuit of scientific enlightenment, and the X-Men are not. A few issues later, when breaking into Sinister’s base, Hank encounters Threnody again. She’s happy. Sinister did indeed help her control her powers, and she has been able to use her abilities to help mutants the world over, while also undermining Sinister’s more evil operations from the inside. Hank expresses relief, saying he was kept up at night by his decision to let her go with Sinister, but Threnody actually thanks him for letting her. And that’s it. That’s Hank’s big “crime” here.
Hank’s other “sins” are also of varying levels of severity. There’s the time “Hank worked with his evil self to cure the Legacy Virus!” when the actual story in question is Hank asserting that he won’t stoop to the levels of Dark Beast and compromise his values in the name of science. There’s the time “Hank sided with the Inhumans against the X-Men!” when the actual story is Storm sending Hank to Attilan to find a way to end the conflict between mutants and inhumans before war broke out. Hank runs out of time to find a cure for the terrigen mist cloud, suggests mutants get off-world in the meantime rather than go to war with the inhumans, is thrown into a cell by the other X-Men for his “betrayal”, and then freed at the conclusion of the war by a repentant Storm when it comes to light that the whole conflict was manipulated by Emma Frost. There’s the time “Hank risked the timestream by bringing the original X-Men to the present day!” A decision that was made on his perceived deathbed with the hopes of bringing his old friend Cyclops back to his side. Hank wants to take the young mutants back right away, but they refuse. And instead of others enforcing that they need to return, we actually see Kitty Pride decide to lead them in the present in memory of Charles Xavier. Notably, Kitty would be one of the many mutants in future issues who would yell at Hank about this.
The point of this post isn’t to absolve Hank of all fault. He has made countless mistakes and bad decisions. Regardless of the culpability of others, the pulling of the O5 to the present was his decision. During Secret Empire, Hank would turn a blind eye to Hydra’s activity simply to keep the mutants under his care safe. During all of this, however, Hank’s character was not compromised. He expressed despair and regret over his worse choices, and struggled with thinking he was a good person any longer. Again, going back to his recurring struggle with self-loathing. He had pathos behind his decisions and how they affected him, and would often reunite with Wonder Man as an opportunity to recenter and declare he would “be better tomorrow than he was yesterday.”
You would think, if the aim of X-Force was to turn Hank into a full-on villain, it would take advantage of the long-form storytelling of comics to chronicle that escalation. Like I said, the assassination of Charles Xavier is a great starting point for Hank to start going darker than he ever has before. The problem is, we don’t get an escalation. Hank starts the run by doing some of the most heinous shit imaginable. Regardless of your thoughts on the severity of Hank’s previous mistakes, none of them compare to his opening volley in this run. Hank uses telefloronics to override and genocide an entire country, leaving various people either completely dead or braindead. We later find out that during this time he also established a space station where he ran unethical experiments on prisoners like Krakoa’s very own Dr. Mengele. He then accuses his old ally Colossus of conspiring with Russia against Krakoa, and calls forth the mutant population to witness as he parades a shamed Colossus through its streets. Then he kills Wolverine and resurrects him as a mindless animal who he uses as an attack dog against his perceived enemies. This isn’t an escalation, this is a different character. And the aforementioned lack of pathos means that we don’t get to see him struggle with these choices. We don’t see his thought process as he becomes darker and darker. Why would we? “He’s always been like this.”
Problem 3: No Personality:
One of the most fun aspects of turning a protagonist into an antagonist is seeing how their personality works with a more villainous mindset. When Cyclops became an “antagonist” to the X-Men, he was still Cyclops. He stuck to his convictions, he was a great leader and tactician, and he was able to turn many mutants to his side because of this. We’ve seen an evil Beast before. The creatively-named Dark Beast is from an alternate future where Beast went down a dark path lacking ethics. The fun of this character, besides comparing his ideologies with our Hank McCoy, is seeing how Hank’s penchant for jokes or quotes now become far more sinister and cutting.
There’s a strange narrative that the jokey Hank is reserved for the Avengers while the Hank with the X-Men is all business and science. This isn’t entirely true. Early on when he was a member of the Defenders, Hank talks about this sort of thing. He essentially says that he wears different hats. While working with the X-Men, he used big words essentially to gain respect from both his teammates and humanity. But with other teams, and in his then-new furry form, he dropped all of that. His speech became more naturalistic and he was much more of a goofball. The thing is, it’s the speech patterns that truly change depending on who Hank is hanging with, not his personality. Hank with the X-Men and Hank with the Avengers are both jovial characters who like to tell jokes and quote philosophy. You can see Hank being a bit of a clown among the X-Men in various runs. So it’s not like it’s a given that Hank is some entirely different dry doctor devoid of any sense of humor when among the X-Men.
But this is how Hank is portrayed in X-Force. Part of why this version of Hank is so hard to reconcile with the rest of his history for fans of the character is that he just doesn’t act like himself, even when he isn’t actively committing war crimes. In one early issue of the run, we get a glimpse at Beast’s journal where he accounts a meeting he had with Forge. Now, Beast has been known to be a very physical character. He is often known to sweep others into a hug, or even plant a big kiss on their face in the case of characters like Wonder Man or Iceman. Meanwhile this one page where we read his thoughts on Forge is clearly pretending this is not the case:

I paid Forge a visit in the Armory – and I must say that he can be, like Logan, rather impossible. There is a certain locker room bravado about him I find perplexing, like a language I only half understand. For instance, he refused to shake my hand but instead dragged me into what he called a “bro hug.” Then he challenged me to a “feat of strength,” asking if I would test out this sappy “muck bomb” he had developed that – or so I gather – glues one in place. He wondered if a “big boy” like me might be able to thrash free of the binding. I refused him and said I very much would prefer to get down to business. He then referred to me as a “bookish peckerwood @#$%” but did so with a friendly laugh and clapped me on the shoulder hard enough to make me stagger. I’m not sure how to process this, honestly. Is he being friendly or cruel? Is it possible to be both?

Needless to say, this doesn’t read like Beast. It reads like an android that has never before felt human emotion. I remember before reading this I was theorizing that Hank had been switched with Dark Beast once more to explain his sudden escalation, but after this I realized that couldn’t be the case. Because this sounds like neither Beast nor Dark Beast. Dark Beast understood how to properly write Hank as a villain. He doesn’t suddenly become your typical made scientist devoid of emotion, humor, or basic human understanding. He still makes jokes that are now cruel. He still quotes literature in a way that paints him as a god among men. Hank going bad can be a fun read, but this run was not.
Problem 4: No One Cares:
Another important angle to consider when writing a story of a good person breaking bad is how it affects those around them. Those who are close friends to the person and find themselves disturbed by their current actions. Again, I return to Cyclops. Regardless of where you stand on if he was right or not, he was very much positioned as an antagonist to the mutants at the Jean Grey School for Higher Learning. Yet we see various friends of Cyclops still caring for him and wanting to pull him back from what they perceive as the dark side. Like I previously said, Beast’s whole reason for messing with the timeline was because he felt he was going to die and wanted to try to appeal to his old friend and bring him back around before he passed on. When someone good goes bad, part of the emotional core is seeing former friends try to appeal to their better nature, and even eventually deciding they’ve gone too far to turn back.
Not so with Hank in X-Force. Like I said, this run posits that this is not any kind of heel turn for Hank. This is how he’s always been. “Hank this isn’t you!” “No, he’s always been like this.” “Hank, turn back before it’s too late!” “Turn back where? He’s always been like this.” None of Hank’s friends give a shit. Hank’s best friend amongst the X-Men is Bobby Drake, Iceman, and we never once see any kind of confrontation there. Cyclops and Angel similarly doesn’t care. Now you could argue this is because X-Force is a secretive organization. Bobby and Scott don’t even know what Hank is doing. There are two issues with this. First, things reach a point where they would know. Hank’s actions become public knowledge, and Wolverine goes off to hunt him down while the rest of the X-Men just kinda look the other way. And second, there is someone with a lot of history with Hank that was a part of X-Force and did see everything that was going on. Jean Grey.
But we never get to see Jean wonder what’s happened to her close friend. Jean who was always incredibly close to Hank. Jean who, it was confirmed during the All-New X-Men era, had mutual feelings for Hank and might have started dating him had things been different. But no, Jean, like every character in this run, accepts that Hank has always been like this. That’s the answer to everything. So instead of some kind of emotional confrontation where she tries to appeal to his better nature, we instead have Jean yell at Hank, use her powers to throw him against a wall, and quit X-Force. And then most recently, we see her tell Firestar without hesitation to throw Hank under the bus for any heat that comes her way from her undercover mission. Because everyone will believe Hank is responsible for all the bad shit. Who the hell cares about Hank? According to this run, no one.
Conclusion:
I hope you can see the larger issue here. When Beast fans complain about his Krakoan era, people assume they just don’t want to see their favorite do bad things. But it’s practically accepted at this point in comics that most heroes will have a villain arc. Hell, Iceman is the only one of the original five X-Men who hasn’t gone down a dark path at this point. The problem is that everything about the writing of Hank during this time was just not done well. There is no exploration of Hank’s descent into villainy, and any questioning down that line is immediately shut down by the assertion that this is just who he’s always been. There isn’t any slow escalation because his first move is genocide. Hank is not even written as himself during this era, but rather as a generic bond villain. And none of Hank’s former close friends even show any emotion about his turn to villainy. An evil Hank story could easily work. We saw it with Dark Beast. A story where the former optimistic member of the X-Men has been beaten down so many times that he takes on a “whatever it takes” mentality could be interesting and emotionally resonant as we both understand what drove him here yet hate the man he’s become. But that isn’t what we got. We got a run that wrote him as a complete stranger and then had all the characters tell the reader that they were wrong for ever thinking he was anyone else.

Hallo zusammen, dies ist mein erster Post also bitte verzeit, falls noch ein paar Infos fehlen. Jetzt zum wesentlichen. ich bin vor ca. 1,5 Jahren in meine erste Mietwohnung gezogen, da es etwas kurzfristig war und es schwierig ist an Mietwohnungen zu kommen, bin ich in einem Untermietvertrag gelandet, welcher mir von Anfang an etwas suspekt vorkam. Der Vertrag an sich ist mit einigen Rechtschreibfehlern geschmückt, aber der eigentliche Inhalt ist soweit verständlich und mit dem Hauptmieter hatte ich bisher auch keine Probleme. Nun zu meinem eigentlichen Fragen und Problemen:

1. In meinem Vertrag (mit dem Hauptmieter) steht keine Klausel über Reparaturen (Kleinreparaturklausel), daher ist für mich fraglich, ob ich für solche aufkommen muss. Kann mir das jemand beantworten?
   
2. In der Küche ist vor ca. 2 Wochen der Durchlauferhitzer ausgefallen. Ich habe den Hauptmieter darüber informiert und anschließend sind „Handwerker“ gekommen, welche das defekte Gerät getauscht haben. Diese wurden anscheinend von meinem Hauptmieter engagiert, ob dieser überhaupt die Hausverwaltung über den Schaden informiert hat, weiß ich nicht, die Nachfrage meinerseits blieb unbeantwortet. Hier ist für mich jetzt auch die Frage, wer die Kosten trägt.
   
3. Vor ca. einer Woche ist mir aufgefallen, dass die Fugen in der Dusche leicht undicht sind (ein paar Tropfen, laufen nach dem Duschen raus), sofern ich das Urteil vom Amtsgericht Berlin (v. 29.08.2017, 5 C 93/16) richtig deute, ist auch hier der Vermieter für zuständig, dies instand zu setzen. Auch hier habe ich wieder meinen Hauptmieter informiert und darum gebeten sich drum zu kümmern und die Verwaltung zu informieren. Am selben Tag meinte mein Hauptmieter daraufhin, dass er Leute vorbeischickt, um den Schaden anzusehen und zu begutachten. Nun sollen die Fugen in der Dusche erneuert werden.
   

TL;DR: Ich bin Untermieter in einer Wohnung und in meinem Vertrag steht keine Kleinstreparaturklausel. Innerhalb der letzten Wochen sind einige Schäden und Reparaturen angefallen bzw. fallen noch an (Durchlauferhitzer in der Küche und Fugen in der Dusche). Vermutlich hat der Hauptmieter anstatt die Hausverwaltung zu informieren, einen bekannten mit der Instandsetzung beauftragt und jetzt habe ich Angst auf den Kosten sitzen zu bleiben.

I’m going out on a limb here, because this post is going to be a strong dose of woo. But I feel I have a duty to warn, and you people seem just weird enough to be able to get it. Read this in the voice of John Oliver if you have to, it might help.

TL;DR: Things are going to get worse before they get better. A mundane and lame, but not altogether surprising, amount of worse. Around 2045-2050, is when things finally turn around. Time to get your shit together, people.

Backstory: Back in the late 70s, a former Special Assistant to the Chief of Naval Operations, Stephan A. Schwartz, got involved in remote viewing. Schwartz started a long-term project that ran from 1978 to 1995 to ask remote viewers to look at one day in June, 2050 to see whether or not the Cold War turned into a nuclear war. He collected data from hundreds of remote viewers over thousands of sessions, over decades of time, and aggregated down the places of only broad consensus. The points where nearly everyone agreed over years and years.

What came out was while we didn’t nuke ourselves, things like the fall of the USSR, the rise of HIV/AIDS, climate change, and terrorism replacing the Cold War seemed like crazy talk at the time, but it's what the remote viewers said. To date, points of wide consensus have held accurate because they’re non-specific. It's not “on Sept 11 this will happen…” it’s “something happened, and now terrorism is why the world is a more dangerous place.”

You can watch here in 2017 where Schwartz talks about a “series of epidemics” occurring. HIV/AIDS was the first one, and last I checked, the opioid crisis, huge increases in non-communicable diseases, and COVID are all massive public health problems on a scale we didn’t used to have - even at the level that in 2017 to consider them. Then he describes Zoom meetings, and how they’re in VR by 2050. So, like I said, things get worse.
/backstory

In the last few years, Schwartz started up a new version of the 2050 project, asking remote viewers to look at the year 2060, and report on wide consensus. A summary of his work is here, with findings on the last page. (This is not investment advice… or is it? ;) I’ve been waiting around on a book with more details for 2 years now, and still nothing, so I have this and interviews as most of what he has out there to go on.
I’m a remote viewer, and I’ve had years of profound, sometimes bonkers experiences that have forced me to stop being so materialist and accept that sometimes remote viewing works. And that the universe is buck wild, but whatever.
Anyone can learn to remote view, just like anyone can learn French if they spend a lot of time every day working on something that seems cool at first, but is ultimately borderline pointless to do without a solid reason. In reality, both have too many rules and are kind of annoying to keep up every day when you’re not using it professionally. But, objectively, learning French is still worse.

….But I’ve also studied and used social science data for work, and looking at broad consensus is how we evaluate things like aggregating survey data. So I put a lot of stock in both the 2050 and 2060 projects simply based on the methodology.

You know what I don’t put a lot of stock in? Astrology.

So I made the mistake of asking astrology about the general themes forecast for the US for 2030-2045, expecting some sort of hilarious contradictions. Like “oh, 2034, Saturn is in Leo - the US elects its first kitty-cat president :3 YAY!””

Nope.
Fam (can I call you fam?) - look, Fam, let me tell you, it did not go well for me.

TL;DR of that post: Nothing contradicts Schwartz. Even the timeline of bad to worse lines up. And I didn't even tell them why I was asking about that time frame before I got a few responses back.

We go from now to bad in the early-mid 2030s, bad to worse in late 2030s/2040, then spicy worse until 2045, then come up for air by the time kindergarten-age kids of today are old enough to rent a car and drive it through Mad Max: Tornado Dustbowl II.
OK, so two woo-woo data points. Who cares, right? Just stupid woo coincidence, right? How many pretend "skeptics" are screaming "confirmation bias!" at me right now? It's not zero.

But....Then we have the unfortunate triangulation of the fact that some of the less pleasant climate change models pointing to a 2.5+ degree world, which is entirely right smack-dab in the realm of possibility right now, agree with the severity of the remote viewing predictions. Expectations of a Blue Ocean event are on track for 2036-2038ish, and the remote viewing data says something happens around 2040 that is a big deal.

The 2050 and 2060 projects both agree that there are migrations: “people flee the coasts, then the Midwest becomes uninhabitable.” But like, more uninhabitable than right now. Constant tornados and floods and drought and general bad times kind of uninhabitable, not like, thinking spaghetti in your chili is still food (I’ll fight you about this, Cincinnati! Come at me!)

Now, if you’ve made it this far, you’re probably just a podcast host desperate for content. Respect.

But for real, if you’ve made it this far, it’s important to acknowledge the fact that this is a warning. This is knowledge, not to create fear, but to inform your sound choices. To be used to guide your life. Data to keep you safe and happy and doing whatever else normal people do these days. Fidget spinners? Are those still a thing? Anyway, point is that if you’re scared, you’re doing it wrong.

And look, this is a topic I’ve looked at for a long time, so there’s no way that you won’t have questions about the nuance. I would, too. Maybe questions like “I’m not clear - are you on drugs now, or do you NEED to be on drugs?”
But I’m going to get off the internet now, and let comments pile up for a while, because we have, like….8 years left to post on IG about plates of food someone else made and you just paid for. Or however you spend your time. I have 8 years left to understand why fidget spinners are a thing before I’m taking out the ball bearings and using them for ammo.

People, get your shit together. Find community. Be compassionate and kind. Learn to garden. Get in shape. Touch grass.
And vote, FFS. Not for America’s first kitty-cat president, I mean, not YET. Vote for humans now so we can have cats later.

I was inside my house, heard a commotion, and noticed two of my elderly neighbours getting REALLY heated. They were loud and gesturing wildly.
Let's call them Vet (~80m, white, muscular and short) and NG (~60m, white, tall and stocky). These guys hang out a lot and I was curious to see what was going on.
I figured it was nothing or I'd find out later, but it went on for a little while... And after hearing a woman yell from the other side of my house, I stepped outside to see NG flip one of Vet's outdoor chairs, and point across my yard at the lady.
I was really confused by all of the neighbours screaming at each other, and kinda just froze. The Vet shoved NG and pointed off his property, while the woman on my side called NG a "POS N*zi".
NG tried to pull his shoulders back at the Vet, but I guess thought better of it & went back toward his place. I asked the lady if she was okay, as the Vet sauntered into my yard, telling her not to worry about NG.
We all convened on my stoop & I got the lowdown: I don't really know this lady, but have seen her around with some of the neighbourhood kids.... NG had said a racist remark towards her and some small children, as they were all walking down the road, from the bus stop.
Neither the lady or the Vet were having any of it & I threw my hat into the ring on that one. I already knew the Vet was a badass, but to watch him be willing to throw down like that was cathartic. I hate the whole situation, & am glad no one was injured, but it was pretty satisfying to watch NG tuck tail & run. (NG always gave me a weird vibe)
Tl;Dr : racist boomer hollered at small children and about got his ass handed to him by a tiny old man.

Delivering the commencement address to the graduating seniors at Morehouse College today, President Joe Biden addressed the nation. After thanking the mothers, fathers, grandmothers, grandfathers, and all the people who helped the graduates get to the chairs in front of the stage, Biden recalled Morehouse’s history. The school was founded in 1867 by civil rights leader Reverend William Jefferson White with the help of two other Baptist ministers, the Reverend Richard C. Coulter and the Reverend Edmund Turney, to educate formerly enslaved men. They believed “education would be the great equalizer from slavery to freedom,” Biden said, and they created an institution that would make the term “Morehouse man” continue to stand as a symbol of excellence 157 years later. Then Biden turned to a speech that centered on faith. Churches talk a lot about Jesus being buried on Friday and rising from the dead on Sunday, he said, “but we don’t talk enough about Saturday, when… his disciples felt all hope was lost. In our lives and the lives of the nation, we have those Saturdays—to bear witness the day before glory, seeing people’s pain and not looking away. But what work is done on Saturday to move pain to purpose? How can faith get a man, get a nation through what was to come?” It’s a truism that anything that happens before we are born is equidistant from our personal experience, mixing the recent past and the ancient past together in a similar vaguely imagined “before” time. Most of today’s college graduates were not born until about 2002 and likely did not pay a great deal of attention to politics until about five years ago. Biden took the opportunity to explain to them what it meant to live through the 1960s. He noted that he was the first in his family to graduate from college, paid for with loans. He fell in love, got a law degree, got married and took a job at a “fancy law firm.” But his world changed when an assassin murdered the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King—a Morehouse man—and the segregated city of Wilmington, Delaware, erupted with fires, looting, fights, and occasional gunfire. For nine months, the National Guard patrolled the city in combat gear, “the longest stretch in any American city since the Civil War,” Biden recalled. “Dr. King’s legacy had a profound impact on me and my generation, whether you’re Black or white,” Biden explained. He left the law firm to become first a public defender and then a county councilman, “working to change our state’s politics to embrace the cause of civil rights.” The Democratic Party had historically championed white supremacy, but that alignment was in the process of changing as Democrats had swung behind civil rights and the 1965 Voting Rights Act. Biden and his cohort hoped to turn the Delaware Democratic Party toward the new focus on civil rights, he said. In 1972, Biden ran for the Senate and won…barely, in a state Republican president Richard Nixon won with 60% of the vote. Biden recalled how, newly elected and hiring staff in Washington, D.C., he got the call telling him that his wife and daughter had been killed in a car accident and that his two sons were gravely injured. The pain of that day hit again 43 years later, he said, when his son Beau died of cancer after living for a year next to a burn pit in Iraq. And he talked of meeting First Lady Jill Biden, “who healed the family in all the broken places. Our family became my redemption,” he said. His focus on family and community offered a strong contrast to the Republican emphasis on individualism. “On this walk of life...you come to understand that we don’t know where or what fate will bring you or when,” Biden said. “But we also know we don’t walk alone. When you’ve been a beneficiary of the compassion of your family, your friends, even strangers, you know how much the compassion matters,” he said. “I’ve learned there is no easy optimism, but by faith—by faith, we can find redemption.” For the graduates, Biden noted, four years ago “felt like one of those Saturdays. The pandemic robbed you of so much. Some of you lost loved ones—mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, who…aren’t able to be here to celebrate with you today…. You missed your high school graduation. You started college just as George Floyd was murdered and there was a reckoning on race. “It’s natural to wonder if democracy you hear about actually works for you. “What is democracy if Black men are being killed in the street? “What is democracy if a trail of broken promises still leave[s]…Black communities behind? “What is democracy if you have to be 10 times better than anyone else to get a fair shot? “And most of all, what does it mean, as we’ve heard before, to be a Black man who loves his country even if it doesn’t love him back in equal measure?” The crowd applauded. Biden explained that across the Oval Office from his seat behind the Resolute Desk are busts of Dr. King and Senator Robert Kennedy, challenging Biden: “Are we living up to what we say we are as a nation, to end racism and poverty, to deliver jobs and justice, to restore our leadership in the world?” He wears a rosary on his wrist made of Beau’s rosary as a reminder that faith asks us “to hold on to hope, to move heaven and earth to make better days.” “[T]hat’s my commitment to you,” he said. “[T]o show you democracy, democracy, democracy is still the way.” Biden pledged to “call out the poison of white supremacy” and noted that he “stood up…with George Floyd’s family to help create a country where you don’t need to have that talk with your son or grandson as they get pulled over.” The administration is investing in Black communities and reconnecting neighborhoods cut apart by highways decades ago. It has reduced Black child poverty to the lowest rate in history. It is removing lead pipes across the nation to provide clean drinking water to everyone, and investing in high-speed internet to bring all households into the modern era. The administration is creating opportunities, Biden said, bringing “good-paying jobs…; capital to start small businesses and loans to buy homes; health insurance, [prescription] drugs, housing that’s more affordable and accessible.” Biden reminded the audience that he had joined workers on a picket line. To applause, he noted that when the Supreme Court blocked his attempt to relieve student debt, he found two other ways to do it. He noted the administration’s historic investment in historically black colleges and universities. “We’re opening doors so you can walk into a life of generational wealth, to be providers and leaders for your families and communities. Today, record numbers of Black Americans have jobs, health insurance, and more [wealth] than ever.” Then Biden directly addressed the student protests over the Israeli government’s strikes on Gaza. At Morehouse today, one graduate stood with his back to Biden and his fist raised during the president’s speech, and the class valedictorian, DeAngelo Jeremiah Fletcher, who spoke before the president, wore a picture of a Palestinian flag on his mortarboard and called for an immediate and permanent ceasefire in Gaza, at which Biden applauded. “In a democracy, we debate and dissent about America’s role in the world,” Biden said. “I want to say this very clearly. I support peaceful, nonviolent protest. Your voices should be heard, and I promise you I hear them.” “What’s happening in Gaza…is heartbreaking,” he said, with “[i]nnocent Palestinians caught in the middle” of a fight between Hamas and Israel. He reminded them that he has called “for an immediate ceasefire…to stop the fighting [and] bring the hostages home.” His administration has been working for a deal, as well as to get more aid into Gaza and to rebuild it. Crucially, he added, there is more at stake than “just one ceasefire.” He wants “to build a lasting, durable peace. Because the question is…: What after? What after Hamas? What happens then? What happens in Gaza? What rights do the Palestinian people have?” To applause, he said, “I’m working to make sure we finally get a two-state solution—the only solution—for two people to live in peace, security, and dignity.” “This is one of the hardest, most complicated problems in the world,” he said. “I know it angered and frustrates many of you, including my family. But most of all, I know it breaks your heart. It breaks mine as well. Leadership is about fighting through the most intractable problems. It’s about challenging anger, frustration, and heartbreak to find a solution. It’s about doing what you believe is right, even when it’s hard and lonely. You’re all future leaders, every one of you graduating today…. You’ll face complicated, tough moments. In these moments, you’ll listen to others, but you’ll have to decide, guided by knowledge, conviction, principle, and your own moral compass.” Turning back to the United States, Biden urged the graduates to examine “what happens to you and your family when old ghosts in new garments seize power, extremists come for the freedoms you thought belonged to you and everyone.” He noted attacks on equality in America, and that extremist forces were peddling “a fiction, a caricature [of] what being a man is about—tough talk, abusing power, bigotry. Their idea of being a man is toxic.” “But that’s not you,” he continued. “It’s not us. You all know and demonstrate what it really means to be a man. Being a man is about the strength of respect and dignity. It’s about showing up because it’s too late if you have to ask. It’s about giving hate no safe harbor and leaving no one behind and defending freedoms. It’s about standing up to the abuse of power, whether physical, economic, or psychological.” To applause, he added: “It’s about knowing faith without works is dead.” “The strength and wisdom of faith endures,” Biden said. “And I hope—my hope for you is—my challenge to you is that you still keep the faith so long as you can.” “Together, we’re capable of building a democracy worthy of our dreams…a bigger, brighter future that proves the American Dream is big enough for everyone to succeed.” “Class of 2024, four years ago, it felt probably like Saturday,” Biden concluded. “Four years later, you made it to Sunday, to commencement, to the beginning. And with faith and determination, you can push the sun above the horizon once more….” “God bless you all,” he said. “We’re expecting a lot from you.” — Notes: https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/speeches-remarks/2024/05/19/remarks-by-president-biden-at-the-morehouse-college-class-of-2024-commencement-address-atlanta-ga/https://www.inquirer.com/news/a/wilmington-del-riots-occupation-martin-luther-king-jr-national-guard-20181207.htmlhttps://www.reuters.com/world/us/morehouse-graduation-thanks-god-woke-class-2024-2024-05-19/

Previous Entry
Writing these things has made me realize how different I sound these days. Back when all this started I’m not sure I even spoke English and I certainly didn’t speak like I do now but to be honest, I don’t remember. Trying to recall things to write has made me realize exactly how many little things I’ve forgotten over the years. The sights, the sounds, all those fade into the background of most events.
Even something as visceral as Archer’s basement still takes me a while to recall clearly. I wonder if it’s more than just my long life, we do age after all. I mentioned before that sunlight is not deadly to vampires like myself but very unpleasant, that and it makes us more normal. In the sun I won’t be as strong as I would be in the dark and by my assessment I age in the sun as well. Not any faster than a normal person but I do age, its why I don’t still look like that little boy stuck in Paris anymore.
I did spend quite some time in Paris before I left or rather, escaped. I’m not sure I ever would have left if not for the war. I didn’t have many friends there save for other… I’m not sure what to call them… entities? Whatever you want to cal it I had some friends in the more supernatural parts of the city. A vampire named Belle had become a sort of mother figure to me over the years spent there.
I met her by chance one night as I sated myself in an alley. I was ready to fight but she just laughed and flashed her own fangs at me, ridiculing me for being so careless. It was under her wing where I learned everything I know now about vampires. It’s where I realized not all vampires endure sunlight as well as I do, if anything that one trait is what’s most unique about me according to her. But thats not the story I want to tell on these pages tonight. I want to tell the story of lieutenant Marsh and the real beginnings of the organization that would become Chimera.
When war came to Paris that summer I was unprepared. I never expected the war to spiral out of hand so quickly or for it to force me out of my home. I was with Belle and a few more of her friends whose names escape me waiting out the worst of it and hoping things would blow over in the city soon. Obviously we were completely misguided, it was that sense of invulnerability again just the same as when I was a boy. The world was our playground and nothing could hurt us. It didn’t help that in some ways I really was invulnerable and it went straight to my head.
Only flashes of my memory from that day remain. I remember the nazi soldier kicking in the door and firing at Belle’s friends. I remember the screaming that abruptly ended in a single gunshot. I remember the trail of blood leading to her friends body where it lay staked to the ground in the sun. We heal fast, not instantly but much faster than a human. Put us in sunlight though, and we’re just as fragile as a normal person. It was the first time I’d seen someone with abilities like ours die and it made me feel mortal again for the first time in decades.
The rest of the day is a disjointed blur. Belle and I fled the city, I blank out on the specifics of it but we made it out with some difficulty. After that we hunkered down for the night in a rickety old shack. I remember wanting to push on through the day but Belle protested, she didn’t deal with the sun as well as I did. When night finally fell we fled to the coast and managed to catch a ship heading towards the United States.
The trip was unpleasant to say the least, neither of us made good stowaways. We weren’t living life in the lap of luxury before by any means but we lived comfortably. This was a far cry from what we were used to in Paris and the welcome we received was even worse. Apparently fleeing for your own survival is a crime, both of us were separated and sent to prison on our arrival to the states for stowing away on the ship.
That was the last time I ever saw Belle, I get letters from her every now and then but I haven’t seen her in person since. She does well for herself, works in D.C. as a sort of handler for the supernatural. Regrettably she does work with Chimera, says they have the best interests at heart for the supernatural but she doesn’t see what I see out here. She doesn’t know the part I played in its creation, what it really stood for in the beginning. Chimera tends to kill first these days rather than actually try to help or give the supernatural some kind of place in the world. I think thats why I haven’t been to visit her, I just don’t want to argue with a friend as old as her. Funnily enough I don’t think anyone knows she’s a vampire. I doubt they’d take that very well, she’d probably lose her position. They must have suspicions though because theres no way she’d be able to get letters to me without Baelen knowing about it. Every few months they keep showing up though and I always make sure to write her back.
Anyways I’m getting off topic, back to my story. I was in prison for months until an offer came my way, serve the rest of my sentence or enlist in the army and be a free man when I came back, if I came back. Of course I took the offer, I didn’t realize how suspicious that deal sounded at the time but it actually played out exactly as they said. I also didn’t have much of a choice in the matter either. It was hard to get my hands on any blood when I was almost constantly under watch and I could feel the effects it was having on me. I figured it would be best to get a change of scenery.
The next week I was off to training then not long after, we shipped out to the trenches and met the commander of the platoon I’d been assigned to. That’s the first time I met Lieutenant Johnson Marsh and what a man he was. That first day I was convinced I’d never see a smile ever again, the trenches were a horrible depressing place. But there Marsh was, laughing and smiling and just generally enjoying life with the rest of the platoon. He was either crazy or stupid, thats what my first thoughts about him were. I remember those clearly even today but I couldn’t have been more wrong. If anything he may have turned out to be one of the smartest men I ever knew.
The first few weeks were spent holding our position from the germans. It was brutal but I found I was a decent shot with the rifle I was given. Marsh on the other hand spent those weeks barking orders at us and keeping us in line. He never used a rifle like most of the soldiers used. Instead he kept a Beretta m9 with him at all times. That weapon was the only one I ever saw him use. I remember the name only because he was so found of explaining everything there was to know about the gun to me whenever I questioned him about it. You could immediately recognize the pistol as his by its strange grip. One side of it had a picture of an idyllic scene of a manor house in the middle of a sprawling field. The other had a painting of a woman, his wife I’d guess but he never actually told me if that was there case. He seemed to spend the nights staring with longing at each side of the artistic grip.
I’d never really had a family, even with Belle I’d always felt like I was a bit of an outsider. There was so much I didn’t know about how normal people lived. Even though I’d had friends in Paris we were always kind of hidden away in our own personal corner. There was this separation between us and normal life, even between the other supernaturals in the area.
Here I felt like I was part of something though. Sure I was still lost but so was everyone else, we could be lost together and Marsh would always set us straight in the end. There was something about the man, some piece of him that just understood what we were all going through. He expected a lot from us but he was never unreasonable and several times even argued with command on our behalf when ridiculous orders came our way. I actually wanted to serve with him. The rest of the platoon wasn’t bad but they’d all been given the same deal as me. They were all just there to get out of prison. I’m still not sure what Marsh’s story was, he always kept that to himself but any of us would’ve taken a bullet for that man.
Our first real assignment came maybe three months into my period of indentured service. Our platoon was tasked with rescuing a captured American scientist and capturing a German scientist. The scientists in question were Frank Smith and Stein Hoffman and no, the irony of those names is not lost on me, fits the two of them though. I’m sure doctor Frankenstein wishes he was successful as those two. But before those orders could be acted on we had to overtake a German trench surrounding the compound they were staying in.
That fight was bloody and we lost several good men in the chaos. At one point a trench gun was shoved into my arms and I launched myself into the German trench. I wouldn’t be surprised if ghost stories are still passed around of what I did that day. After I made my way over and into the German trench I lashed out with all I had. Moving with superhuman speed and lashing out with both the bayonet affixed to my gun and my fangs, I fell upon the Germans. They stood little chance as I tore into them and all by my lonesome I ensured we’d face no more resistance.
Marsh was the first over into the now silent trench, I’m glad it was him because I’m not sure anyone else would’ve understood like him. I was holding the German officer to the trench wall, fangs buried in his neck as I fed when I heard footsteps behind me. I dropped him and turned to see Marsh staring questioningly at me. I must’ve been a sight to see, blood dripping from my mouth and covering my bullet torn uniform. Marsh steadied himself for a moment and shouted back to the rest of the platoon,
“Boys hold up a second! Just get down and stay up there a minute won’tcha!”
All of a sudden he took a step forward and a well mannered grin took its usual place on his lips.
“Though You didn’t care for sauerkraut J.?”
The joke stunned me, I fully expected him to shoot me then and there, put me down like the abomination I must’ve looked like to him.
“Lieutenant I…”
But Marsh raised his hands to cut me off.
“Command’d probably want me to shoot’cha, hell maybe I aught’a but I don’t think it’d be right. You seem decent, little odd sure but you’ve got heart, I see it in the way you look out for the boys. Plus I always figured there was some’n off about you. The way you stay out’a the light always seem a little faster and stronger than anyone got the right to be just didn’t figure it’d be…. That.”
Marsh told me pointing to the punctures in the officers neck.
“Thank you lieutenant, Could we keep this between us though sir?”
“Drop the formalities J. Jesus! We’re all friends here.”
“I just don’t want the others to know, they may not be as understanding as you.”
“No can do, but you can tell em’ yourself. Alright men, get on down here!”
In all my years I’d never had to explain myself to anyone up until that point. I guess that day my number was up but I never knew just how understanding people, normal people could be. I’d always lived around the supernatural in Paris, didn’t interact much with the normal people I saw in the streets every day, I didn’t have to. I’d always assumed there was a reason for that but in the moment I realized there wasn’t, not really. I’d just avoided normal people because I feared what they’d think if it came out that I wasn’t like them.
Of course There were some of the men that objected to… what I was. Most of them took after Marsh though. They didn’t really care what I was, I’d proven to them I was a good person and thats all that mattered. I just wish they’d been right about me back then because the truth was I still hadn’t learned to care, not really. Even the ones who objected came around eventually and that night Marsh finally came clean to me about why exactly he was so accepting.
According to him he’d always assumed there was more out there, things beyond human that lived on the fringes of society. Even he always thought he sounded crazy. I was the proof he needed to convince himself he wasn’t. Marsh also told me what we were really doing with the scientists. Both Frank and Stein researched the supernatural, their projects were as secret as secret could be. Marsh’s interests and theories, as personal as he tried to keep them showed up in his file somewhere. The higher ups had handpicked him for this mission because of it. The official story was that Frank had been captured but in reality he defected to further his own research with a like minded individual. Our mission was really to force Frank back into the fold and take Stein along with him.
The more he talked the more I could tell his heart was fully committed to this mission and the final assault tomorrow. I’d never seen someone so… alive. In my extremely long life I don’t think Id ever felt that kind of conviction myself. So I promised him I’d have his back tomorrow no matter what.
Morning broke and with it our assault began. Intel on the German defenses was shoddy at best but we never expected what we’d actually run into. At least three times our number acted as guards so a distraction was in order to give us a window of entry. A few of the men would handle the distraction “however they saw fit” to quote Marsh. Then Marsh and I would make our way into the compound itself and the rest of the platoon would cover us.
For what its worth most of the plan went off without a hitch. A tremendous explosion signaled Marsh and I to press the advantage and rush the confused soldiers that lay in front of us. Some actually turned and ran from me, apparently word of my stunt in the trenches yesterday had spread quickly. The rest of the platoon followed behind us but then our luck ran out with the roar of an engine.
An honest to god panzer tank rolled out of a tunnel we hadn’t seen that ran under the compound and turned its barrel towards us. I almost didn’t hear the blast from how slow time seemed to move. But move it did as the explosion of the shell’s impact scattered bodies left and right. The shell impacted behind us but the sheer force of the blast threw Marsh and I to the ground, knocking us unconscious.
When I slowly came to my eyes couldn’t believe what I was seeing. A man dressed in red priestly robes with a matching red top hat was walking between the bodies. When he approached one that groaned out with agony he’d kneel down and whisper things I couldn’t hear to them, after that he’d snap his fingers. sometimes the person he was talking with would disappear other times they would fall silent and sometimes it didn’t appear that anything happened at all.
Just the sight of the man terrified me and I wasn’t sure why. It was an instinctual reaction, the second I lay eyes on him I froze up and ice cold fear crept its way up my spine. When people accuse me of being the devil this man is who I think of. Even today I’m not sure what it is he does or why. What I do know is that he never looks the same. I’ve seen him appear as male, female, even as an animal on a few occasions but I can always tell. The second I’m near him no matter what he looks like the same old feeling comes over me.
Once my vision had finally focused in on the man he seemed to notice without ever looking at me. I blinked and suddenly he was there, kneeling over me.
“Would you like to live.”
He rasped down at me with a voice that seemed to boom around me no matter how quiet it must’ve actually been. I felt like a child again, staring at Archer for the first time. I’d never really had to fear death before but here I was, sure I was about to meet my end right here. In all honestly I wasn’t injured all that bad, I probably could’ve survived with or without this man help. But something told me that if I said no he’d make sure I would die right here.
“Ye…y… yes”
I stuttered out, barley able to form the words through the pain that stabbed throughout my body.
“You will be my instrument for one night at a time of me choosing.”
The man replied. I stayed silent as I stared into his eyes, trying to determine if the sunglasses he wore were tinted or if his eyes really did burn with an infernal red light. The man cocked his head as if waiting for a response to his question. I’m not sure if question was the right word though, there wasn’t much of a choice for me.
Looking back there was always a choice, maybe I could’ve survived on my own merits, found another way. In the years to come I’d wish I just said no, even if it would’ve cost me my life. But thats not what happened. I nodded and the deal maker snapped his fingers. As soon as he had dark clouds flooded the sky and blocked out the sun, allowing my body to begin repairing itself. The man moved on to where Marsh’s body lay and probably made him the same deal as I felt my body healing. Despite that, my consciousness faded again as I strained to try and hear what the man would say to Marsh.
We never actually discussed the man at all. Not then and not in the years since. Maybe that was all an unspoken part of Marsh’s deal. Maybe both of us just wished that man was nothing more than a waking dream, a vivid hallucination. Whatever the case neither of us ever mentioned that man to each other.
The next time I woke up I was chained to a table next to Marsh. We had been captured and brought before the very scientists we were here to apprehend. There were guards around but they all seemed to be waiting for some kind of order. I was certainly surprised when that order came in perfect English, even more surprised when the order was to let us down so we could talk.
Frank and Stein ended up being quite reasonable people. The two let us stay in relative comfort in the compound as long as we agreed to stay and leave them to their work. That was all the convincing it took for me. I understand that the men I’d served with were all dead and that these two were in some way responsible. Maybe that should’ve bothered me more, today it certainly would’ve. Back then I didn’t think the same way, they accepted me for what I was but only briefly, only out of respect for Marsh. What did the lives of people I’d known for so short a time really matter? Writing this now just makes me realize how cold I was before, I didn’t care for anything beyond myself. I’d made no efforts to find Belle since we were separated and how long had I known her, 100 years, more? I may have pretended I cared but when push came to shove I simply tried to make sure I survived.
Marsh wasn’t as cold as me, in fact he almost immediately reached for where his pistol should’ve been when he was unchained. It took Frank, Stein, and myself weeks to convince him that helping would be the right decision. He didn’t like it at first but little by little I think the scientists grew on him. The guards I’d seen our first day here seemed to thin out the longer we stayed. Wether that was a gesture of trust or simply because they were needed for more important duties I don’t know but it certainly eased Marsh’s mind.
I merely observed the scientists most of the time until Stein asked me for a sample of my blood. It didn’t surprise me that he knew what I was but for obvious reasons I was hesitant to give it to him, especially considering what I’d seen so called doctors do with vampire blood. Eventually he wore me down and I gave let him take a sample just to shut him up. After that I became more involved in their research though not by choice. They had me showcasing my abilities and tested the effects of sunlight on my blood. On a few rare occasions Stein even injected it into other prisoners that were brought in, something I put a stop to very quickly. T
hat sample of blood is why Frank and Stein are still around today. Somehow they managed to isolate whatever part of my DNA allows me to age so much slower than a normal person. They took that and spliced it into their own DNA against my recommendations. The crazy thing was it actually worked. Sure they had a newfound appreciation for rare steaks but beyond that I didn’t notice any of the effects that combining vampire DNA with your own would usually have.
As Marsh and I assisted the scientist’s research however we could we both came to the realization that they needed each other to function. Stein lacked a moral compass and was prone to suggest unethical or risky procedures, sometimes going so far as to carry them out without informing Frank. Frank on the other hand preferred caution in everything he did and sometimes I noticed him personally taking and shredding requests Stein had written for test subjects, hazardous materials, or samples from supernatural entities. The two kept a very delicate dance of checks and balances. Stein ever the daring mad scientist and Frank always playing the role of overly cautious genius.
Marsh and Frank got along extremely well near the end. The two would be up at all hours of the night as Frank explained what kind of things really existed in the world. Marsh always shared these ideas of a world where the supernatural and the normal could live together and I think Frank shared that vision. It wasn’t possible, still isn’t but treating the supernatural as something other than monsters couldn’t possibly be a bad thing. I think thats where the idea of the Bureau of Supernatural Affairs really came from, those talks Marsh had with anyone who would listen.
Overtime one of our favorite conversations was what we would do when the war was over and we could leave this compound. Stein wasn’t sure he would, if his research wasn’t going to a man who’d simply use it to cause more conflict he wouldn’t mind staying. Frank wanted to return home, if that was even possible and he asked if Stein would join him. Those two had also become close friends through our months in the lab. That checks and balances relationship they had made them basically inseparable. Marsh’s answer surprised me though, he said he wanted to get out of the military and start a program, something to help the supernatural live closer to normal lives. At least keep tabs on them so that the quality of their lives might improve. I was stunned, I couldn’t believe he’d throw his career away just to chase this pipe dream of his. I didn’t even know Marsh was concerned with that kind of thing. I didn’t have an answer of my own so I said I’d join Marsh and help with this program idea of his. Actually, even Frank and Stein seemed to agree with Marsh’s way of thinking. Little did we know the war would end less than a month after our talk and we’d all get the chance to actually put Marsh’s little idea to the test.
Once the Americans had come and discovered the compound pretty much abandoned aside from us we were all taken prisoner and shipped back to America. We were all interrogated and they either heard what they wanted to hear, or decided anyone we’d talk to about our experiences would assume we were just crazy. We were released back into society under constant surveillance. They even gave us a sizable home in D.C., it was certainly bugged to its core but thats exactly what we wanted.
Through the next year we used Frank and Steins knowledge and my supernatural nature to track down entities all over the country. We made sure that everything was discussed and planned out in the house. That way however was listening knew exactly what we were doing and how successful it was. It wasn’t all sunshine and rainbows though, some entities would rather we didn’t know about them. Others were naturally aggressive but some we were actually able to help.
Our escapades as a group of four didn’t last much past the first year. Mostly because our master plan of using the bugs worked perfectly. Ol’ uncle Sam had been listening in and wanted his chance at calling the shots but it meant we became a legitimate organization, the BSA. Technically the acronym was already taken but no one ever complained and Marsh never came up with anything better.
We spent 4 years doing everything we could to improve the lives of supernatural beings everywhere. Not every one of our endeavors was a success but we did some good in the world. One such project was blood banks for vampires. While the blood that gets donated is used for transfusions and the like some was put into cold storage for the BSA. That got distributed to vampires who had come to an agreement with us to stop hunting humans for blood. Some vampires were even selected for jobs at these blood banks, under the supervision of BSA agents of course.
The more human supernaturals like werewolves, vampires, and succubi even used us to find jobs in the world. We made in roads for the supernatural in daily life because of it. Werewolves would use their strength for government construction. Vampire’s long lives made them excellent archivists or history teachers because they actually been there for those events. A succubus’s ability to understand and control someones emotions and reactions made them excellent therapists and conflict deescalation specialists. Those are just some of the fields we managed to get the supernatural involved in. While they usually had to hide their natural they were wildly successful.
Everything went well until that fourth year when I first met Baelen. He was headstrong from the beginning, the powers that be were grooming him for leadership. He was everything they wanted, he followed orders and didn’t question things to much. In short, he was the perfect solution to the inconvenience the four of us caused running the organization as we saw fit. But baleen had a mean streak, he didn’t want to protect the supernatural so much as he wanted to put them in their place. Unfortunately a lot of the research we provided had scared pretty much everyone above us who had never even entertained the idea of the supernatural until now. That meant Baelen’s ideas of monitoring and segregating the supernatural population were popular. So popular that suggesting culling their numbers to keep them in check and under the thumb of the BSA was an idea they actually entertained. That sentiment caught on and our orders became more and more militant.
Every time we disregarded them to do things the way we had envisioned the consequence grew steeper. Eventually Frank, Stein, Marsh, and I just couldn’t stand to see what our BSA had become so we left. We couldn’t do anything else to stop what was coming from the inside, no point in going down with the ship.
After that Baelen quickly ended up heading the whole operation. He still took orders directly from government officials and when the BSA became part of homeland security it became Chimera division. Why they chose such a stupid name I’ll never know but the organization was a shadow of its former self. Before we looked out for the supernatural, tried to help. Under Baelen Chimera just exists to monitor the supernatural and “correct” any issues uncle Sam decides to have with them. They’re glorified enforcers that don’t give a damn how the supernatural actually have it. That’s not to say some good people don’t work for them, people like Belle and even Marsh’s own daughter as far as I’m aware.
It sickens me to think I was a part of it though, for all the good we did maybe it would’ve been better if Johnson Marsh’s pipe dream would’ve stayed just that. I can do a lot but I can’t change the past so I guess we’ll never know. A while ago I heard that something had happened in a little nowhere town out in New Mexico. Pretty much dropped off the face of the Earth. The only reason I even heard about it was through Belle’s letters. Apparently Chimera had to do some huge cover up job and decided it was better if the town just never existed. Maybe I should go myself and see if I can’t piece what happened together. Could be that someone else out there has it in for Chimera and is a whole lot more direct about it than me. I’m just imaging it was some runaway experiment Frank and Stein got up to. I wonder where those two ended up, I’ll have to check up on them sometime. This journal writing is digging up a lot of memories for me but thats probably a good thing. Write them down before I forget again. I think that’ll be all for today then, why do I keep addressing these like someone’s reading them? Not much point to that is there?

Hallo miteinander nach 5 Tagen melde ich mich auch mal mit dem Update wieder. Hat leider doch länger gedauert als gedacht weil ich nach der OP wirklich super erschöpft war und kaum Energie hatte mich auf Sachen aktiv zu konzentrieren.
Aber jetzt erstmal zum wichtigsten: wie lief es?
Der Tag an dem ich im Rotkreuz Krankenhaus angekommen bin war schon sehr angenehm mit dem netten Empfang und der problemlosen Anmeldung. Super schnell wurde ich auch schon auf mein Zimmer gebracht darin lagen schon 2 unfassbar nette und liebe Mädels (if you read this shout-out and ily 😎👋) die fast schon wieder breit zur Entlassung sind was aber wirklich sehr hilfreich war da ich von den beiden echt eine Menge Tips bekommen konnte und es einen dann doch wirklich beruhigt von Leuten zu hören die alles schon durch sind. Dann ging es auch schon relativ schnell in so einige Gespräche und mit dem Stations Arzt und anästhesie Arzt. Beide super lieb und nehmen sich auch genügend Zeit fragen zu beantworten. Da ich damals mein Vorgespräch mit Frau Dr Morath hatte war sie auch diejenige die mich operiert hat. Wir haben uns auf den gang noch einmal getroffen und sie war genauso nett und sympathisch wie ich sie noch in Erinnerung hatte.
Dann war auch schon einer der schlimmsten teile dran und zwar das Abführmittel glaubt mir wenn ich sage ich hab noch nie sowas ekliges zu mir nehmen müssen 😭 (an den Geschmack zu denken ist immer noch furchtbar). Ein großer Tipp an alle die die OP irgendwann machen wollen Esst auf jeden Fall wenn möglichst nichts zum Frühstück das abführen ist damit sehr viel schmerzloser und angenehmer zu überstehen!
Das lief aber alles schon ohne Probleme und gleich war ich am nächsten Tag früh um 7 dran mit der OP und obwohl ich vor der Anästhesie am meisten Furcht hatte war das auch überhaupt gar nicht schlimm alles hat so geklappt wie es soll und ganz schnell war ich weg im Schlummerland. Circa 4 Stunden später wach ich im aufweck Raum auf und mir war unfassbar übel da haben die Ärzte aber auch sehr schnell reagiert und mir dagegen etwas gegeben. Aber dann schon die erste Erleichterung für mich da Frau Dr Morath zu mir gekommen ist und gesagt hat das alles gut verlaufen ist.
Flot konnte ich dann wieder zurück aufs Zimmer und ich war total k.o. mein Körper war sehr erschöpft vom ganzen und das auch zurecht. Die Schmerzen waren aber überhaupt nicht schlimm und waren nie schlimmer als maximal 5/10.
Den 1. Tag nach der OP hab ich eigentlich fast nur durchgeschlafen und kaum was gemerkt. Essen gab es für mich noch nicht und ganz viel trinken war wie immer wichtig.
Den Tag danach war ich auch mal wieder mehr geistig anwesend und wie auch vorher haben mich die schmerzen kaum gestört leider nur die Übelkeit ist geblieben und bis heute ist sie auch noch leicht da aber wie vorher auch hören die Schwestern und Ärzte auf einen und helfen da auch mit Medikation nach. Von allen war für mich der Verbandswechsel am unangenehmsten da es danach noch ein bisschen gebrannt hat aber nichts was man nicht aushalten kann. Dann fing es auch schon ganz langsam wieder an essen zu geben mit ein paar Stück Zwieback und das erste Mal aufstehen wurde auch in Angriff genommen was ganz okay funktioniert hat. Mein Kreislauf war zwar noch sehr schwach aber nach kurzem Schwindel war auch das auszuhalten.
Naja und so ging es jeden Tag Schritt für Schritt weiter. Mehr und mehr essen, mehr aufstehen und laufen, mehr Energie und weniger Schwellungen und schmerzen unten. Morgen wird dann der Platzhalter bei mir gezogen und ich habe von vielen gehört dass das noch ein riesen positiven Unterschied in allem machen soll also freu ich mich da jetzt schon sehr und bin gespannt.
Um mal alles ein bisschen zusammenzufassen. Die Entscheidung bei Dr Morath operiert zu werden war auf jeden Fall die richtige. Das Personal ist super nett und hilfsbereit und meine Heilung geht bis jetzt ohne ein Problem schnell voran. Ich fühle mich jetzt schon sehr sehr wohl in meinem Körper obwohl noch sehr viel angeschwollen ist und das Endergebnis definitiv noch nicht auszumachen ist.
Phew das war jetzt ein ganz schön langer Text aber ich hoffe falls jemand bis hierhin gelesen hat könnte ich vielleicht helfen die Angst ein wenig zu nehmen oder die Entscheidung ein wenig leichter zu machen. Bei Fragen bin ich liebend gerne immer offen und spätestens zu meiner Entlassung melde ich mich nochmal und gebe so eine Art finale review c:

Mein Partner (m,42) und ich (w,39) sind schon lange zusammen und ich liebe ihn sehr.
Allerdings sind wir zusammen schon auf einem ziemlich langen Marathon. Er war lange mit seinem Beruf nicht glücklich, ist dann nicht gewechselt, hat sich dann im letztenn Moment entschieden, ne weitere Ausbildung zu machen, weil er nie einen Job gefunden hat, zu dem er sich getraut hat zu wechseln.
Als die fertig war, hat er da erst Mal nichts gefunden, ist dann zum Konkurrenten seines vorherigen Arbeitgeber. Dieser ist jetzt weniger toxisch, er fühlt sich halbwegs wohl. Jetzt hat er nach einem Jahr doch noch einen Job angeboten bekommen, der in dem Feld ist, in das er eigentlich nach der Ausbildung wollte und überlegt gerade, was er tun soll.
Zusammengefasst: er hat eine ziemliche Geschichte hinter sich und ich bin da sehr stolz auf ihn.
Allerdings ist diese Geschichte begleitet von ENDLOSEN Diskussionen über was er machen will. Wir haben über die Jahre jetzt ewige Diskussionen geführt, was er machen will, welchen Job er annehmen soll und das ist auch immer von viel Panik begleitet. Er schwankt ständig zwischen seinen Entscheidungen und trifft sie dann meist nach Wochen / Monaten erst, wenn er wirklich dazu gezwungen wird.
Ich glaube mittlerweile, dass unsere Diskussionem dazu einfach nichts bringen. Alle Denkanstöße, die ich ihm gebe verpuffen sowieso und am Ende entscheidet die Zeit oder weil ihm jemand anders die Pistole auf die Brust setzt.
Ich hab schon so Sachen mit ihm gemacht wie: Rollenspiel, Pro Contra Listen, das innere Team (vom Coaching), spazieren gehen, was willst du in fünf Jahren machen, Erfahrungsberichte von mir, meine Meinung, was ich machen würde. Ich fühle mich schon nur noch wie eine Therapeutin.
Deshalb habe ich jetzt in der aktuellen Situation (die wir jetzt auch schon 5 mal durch haben) gesagt: "nein, ich diskutiere das jetzt nicht mehr mit dir, du triffst jetzt deine Entscheidung. Ich glaube nicht, dass die weitere Diskussionen etwas bringt mit mir."
Jetzt ist er sehr wütend auf mich und meint, dass das ja übergriffig wäre, ich dürfe nicht entscheiden, was er braucht. Abgesehen davon, dass ich keine Lust mehr darauf habe, glaube ich aber trotzdem, dass das genau ist was er braucht.
Ich will das jetzt nicht weiter mit ihm diskutieren, weil es noch bringt, aber ich hätte gerne eine Meinung von außen: ist das echt übergriffig zu sagen, dass ich nicht mit ihm reden will, weil ich nicht mehr glaube, dass es ihm hilft?
TL;DR: fühle mich als Therapeutin für meinen Partner. Hab ihm gesagt, dass ich auch für ihn nicht mehr mit ihm zu seiner akuten Entscheidung reden will. Ist das übergriffig?

Hallo zusammen,
TL,DR: Neue Beziehung, aber ich habe ab und zu noch Gedanken, dass ich meinen Ex zurück möchte.
Ich (w27) könnte einen Rat zu meiner aktuellen Situation gebrauchen.
Mein Exfreund (auch 27) hat sich Anfang Februar von mir getrennt. Er meinte, wir passen letztlich nicht gut zusammen, ich hatte zu der Zeit Probleme mit Depressionen und er ist ein sehr aktiver Mensch. Wir waren fünf Jahre zusammen und ich war eigentlich überzeugt davon, dass wir zusammen alt werden. Er war sich aber sehr sicher in seiner Entscheidung, meinte er hat es sich länger überlegt. Ich möchte seine Entscheidung auch respektieren.
Die Sache ist, ich möchte gern eine klassische Familie und Kinder haben, werde dieses Jahr 28 und fühle mich daher recht "spät dran" mit Dating etc.
Kurz nach der Trennung habe ich mich, eher aus Verzweiflung, auf Bumble angemeldet und jemanden kennengelernt. Hätte eigentlich niedrige Erwartungen an mein erstes Bumbledate, aber es war dann echt nett. Ihm schien es auch gefallen zu haben, und er hat dann auch immer weitere Treffen initiiert. Ich war mir ehrlich gesagt in der ganzen Phase nicht so sicher, ob ich ihn soo sehr mag, hab es aber auf die kürzliche Trennung geschoben.
Nun sind wir doch zusammengekommen. Ich kann überhaupt nichts Schlechtes über ihn sagen, er ist eigentlich ein klasse Typ, aber ich habe nicht so richtig Verliebtheitsgefühle. Er ist ein bisschen moppeliger, nicht schlimm, aber eigentlich stehe ich eher auf dünnere Männer. Außerdem finde ich, dass er manchmal etwas überkorrekt, d.h. er beschwert sich auch gerne bei Dienstleistern, wenn etwas nicht OK ist (ich bin da eher zurückhaltend). Im Bett läuft es auch noch nicht so, weil er sehr wenig Erfahrung mit Frauen hat und dadurch immer recht aufgeregt ist.
Jetzt noch einige positive Aspekte zu meinem neuen Freund: Er ist super empathisch und rücksichtsvoll zu mir, wir sind beide recht gesundheitsbewusst. Weil wir beide eine chronische Krankheit haben, können wir die Probleme des anderen gut verstehen. Wir haben auch einige gemeinsame Interessen und finden leicht Gesprächsthemen.
Ich ertappe mich dabei, mir immer noch zu wünschen, mein Ex würde seine Meinung ändern.
Die Sache ist die: Ich bin selbst nicht superhübsch, der Kerl, mit dem ich jetzt zusammen bin ist supernett zu mir. Die Dinge, die mich stören, sind nicht wirklich schwerwiegend.
Würdet ihr euch in meiner Situation trennen und weiterdaten oder nicht?

Hallo, vielleicht ist der Tag nicht ganz richtig. Ich suche nach einem Artikel vor ungefähr einem Jahr im Sommer.
Inhalt des Artikels waren zwei Jugendliche, ich glaube sie waren Brüder, die auf eigene (??) Faust die Sommerbetreuung in einem Kindergarten (könnte in Oberösterreich gewesen sein) veranstaltet und durchgeführt haben. Das ganze war auch im Fernsehen zu sehn (entweder ZIB oder Oberösterreich heute). Ich glaube der Ort hat mit K angefangen.
Google spückt mir überhaupt nichts aus. Abgesehen davon dass ich mich in Google falsch ausgedrückt habe, wird er es aufgrund des Ortes nicht finden. Vielleicht habe ich auch nur geträumt. 🙃
PS: Keine letmegooglethat.com Links oder ähnliches

Kürzlich habe ich erfahren, dass ich wahrscheinlich einen Halbbruder habe. Mein Vater hatte vor etwa 18 Jahren während einer seiner Geschäftsreisen eine Affäre. Nun hat sich dieser Halbbruder bei mir gemeldet, und ich weiß nicht, wie ich damit umgehen soll.
Zu meinem Vater habe ich schon lange kein gutes Verhältnis mehr. Er bevorzugt meine Schwester deutlich, auch finanziell durch Schenkungen. Ich werde dagegen ignoriert oder runtergemacht. Irgendwann habe ich dann meinen Kontakt immer weiter runtergefahren. Das hat mir seelisch sehr gut getan.
Mein Vater hat mir klargemacht, dass er mit diesem "Kind" nichts zu tun haben möchte. Er glaubt, er sei "hereingelegt" worden, was auch immer das bedeuten mag. Er hat mir strikt untersagt, dem Halbbruder seine Kontaktdaten zu geben. Meine Schwester hat dem Halbbruder auch bereits gesagt, dass sie nichts mit ihm zu tun haben will. In der Familie bin ich somit der Einzige, der sich überhaupt noch Gedanken über ihn macht.
Der junge Mann lebt in einem Dritte-Welt-Land und hofft, dass ich ihm helfe, in die EU zu kommen. Ich weiß nicht, wie ich mich verhalten soll. Einerseits finde ich es moralisch verwerflich, dass mein Vater ihn verleugnet. Andererseits weiß ich nicht, ob es nun gerade meine Aufgabe ist, ihm zu helfen. Finanziell wäre das für mich sehr schwierig. Ich vermute, dass ein offizieller DNA-Test nötig wäre und dass Anwaltskosten und möglicherweise eine Bürgschaft anfallen würden, um ein Visum zu erhalten. Diese Kosten wären für mich kaum zu stemmen und der junge Mann ist mittellos. Ich wüsste nicht, ob ich meiner eigenen Schwester so sehr unter die Arme greifen würde, nach Allem was vorgefallen ist.
Ich habe schon jetzt kein gutes Verhältnis zu meinem Vater. Wenn er herausfindet, dass ich dem Halbbruder geholfen habe, würde das wahrscheinlich zu einem großen Streit führen. Mein Vater hat schon mehrfach gedroht, mich zu enterben. Ich würde mir also auch finanziell ins eigene Fleisch schneiden. Das ist zwar eine sehr makabre Sichtweise, aber objektiv stimmt es wohl. Ich versuche hier nur einmal auch an mich zu denken. Das kann ich nicht gut, Vielleicht gehe ich hier zu weit.
Ein weiterer Punkt ist, dass meine Eltern sich vor einigen Jahren scheiden ließen. Meine Mutter leidet sehr unter der Trennung. Wenn sie erfahren würde, dass mein Vater eine Affäre hatte, aus der ein weiteres Kind hervorging, würde es ihr das das Herz brechen. Meine Eltern sind schon ziemlich alt. Am liebsten würde ich die Sache aussitzen, bis beide nicht mehr sind, und dann alles regeln. Aber das wäre dem Halbbruder gegenüber unfair.
Ich bin mit der Situation überfordert. Könnt ihr mir sagen, was ihr darüber denkt und wie ihr handeln würdet? Gerade vor dem Hintergrund, dass ich zu meinem Vater eigentlich gar keine Beziehung habe.
tl;dr Ich habe erfahren, dass ich wahrscheinlich einen Halbbruder habe, der meine Hilfe sucht, um in die EU zu kommen. Mein Vater, zu dem ich ein schlechtes Verhältnis habe, lehnt jeden Kontakt ab und hat mir verboten, ihm zu helfen. Ich bin unsicher, wie ich angesichts der finanziellen Belastungen und der möglichen familiären Konflikte handeln soll.

Hallo meine Lieben,
heute mal ein sehr persönliches Anliegen, also schonmal sorry für den Roman.
Meine Freundin und ich sind nun bereits seit ca. 2,5 Jahren in einer Fernbeziehung... und diese ist ziemlich fern, denn sie kommt aus Indonesien. Im letzten Jahr konnte sie unsere schöne Stadt bereits besuchen. Unser Traum ist es, hier in Kiel ein gemeinsames Leben zu starten und daran arbeiten wir seit vielen Monaten mit Hochdruck. Es hat sich allerdings gezeigt, wie schwierig das Ganze ist.
Ich hatte bereits einen Termin mit dem neuen Welcome Center SH. Ich dachte dort würde auch mit der Arbeitsvermittlung geholfen werden, was allerdings nicht der Fall war. Naja wie auch immer, mir wurde gesagt, dass ihr Fall auf dem Papier sehr positiv aussieht. Sie ist 26, hat einen Bachelor Abschluss in Buchhaltung (den wir schon für eine Stange Geld angleichen lassen haben) und hat bereits immerhin ein B1 Deutsch Zertifikat (fließend Englisch). Uns wurde allerdings dazu geraten, vorerst nach einer "einfacheren" Tätigkeit zu suchen, damit sie gut in Deutschland ankommen und die Sprache verbessern kann. Wenn wir ein Jobangebot haben, können wir damit wieder zum Welcome Center SH gehen und die kümmern sich dann um den Prozess.
Damit haben wir uns dann optimistisch in den Bewerbungsprozess geworfen und nun ja, was soll ich sagen, es war bisher ein ziemlicher Höllenritt. Bestenfalls bekommt man eine direkte Absage, oder die Prozesse werden enorm verschleppt (Beispiel: nach einem Online-Vorstellungsgespräch warten wir nun schon 2 Monate auf eine konkrete Antwort wie/ob es weiter gehen soll), oder man wird ignoriert. Supermärkte, Bäckereien, Restaurants und Hotels, alles war dabei. Ich denke viele Arbeitgeber schrecken die bürokratischen Hürden ab bzw. dass es eine Zeit dauern würde, bis meine Freundin dann hier anfangen könnte. Leider lässt sich das aber nicht ändern. So langsam wird das Ganze wirklich nervenaufreibend und ich fühle mich überfordert.
Ich wollte die Chance nun in unserem Kieler Subreddit mal ergreifen und in die Runde fragen, ob irgendjemand einen Tipp oder Hinweis für uns hat. Hat jemand Erfahrungen mit flexiblen Arbeitgeber in Kiel und Umgebung gemacht, bei denen sich eine Anfrage lohnt? Alles hilft. Vielen Dank! <3
TL:DR Meine Partnerin, die noch in Indonesien lebt, sucht einen Job in Kiel. Hat jemand einen Tipp für uns? Flexible und offene Arbeitgeber werden gesucht.

Many people face hair loss. If you are also suffering from loss, you may have tried different hair care products. Some people also try medications. But nothing seems to work. However, there can be one effective solution to this - a hair transplantation treatment.
Hair transplantation is a surgical process. It involves moving hair from one part of your scalp to another. Generally, hair grows in patches on your head. The back of your scalp generally has hair that keeps growing. This is called the donor area.
In this process, the surgeon takes hair grafts from the donor area. These grafts can have one to four hairs. The surgeon then makes small holes in the bald or thinning area, called the recipient area. They place the grafts in these holes. And eventually hair grows in this area.

• Quality of donor hair: The more donor hair you have, the better the results will be.

Hair transplant surgery is usually done as an outpatient procedure. This means you won't have to stay overnight in the hospital. Here is what to expect from a hair transplant procedure:

• The surgery can take several hours, depending on the number of grafts being transplanted.
• Local anesthesia is used to numb the area. You may also be given medication to help you relax.
• The surgeon uses a thin needle or blade to make tiny holes in the recipient area.
• They place the hair grafts in these holes.
• After the surgery, they bandage your scalp for a day or two.

Recovery After Hair Transplant Surgery

You may experience some swelling and discomfort after hair transplant surgery. This can be managed with pain medication. You may also see some scabbing around the transplanted hair. This is normal and will go away on its own within a few days.
Here are some tips for recovering from hair transplant surgery:

• Keep your scalp clean and dry.
• Avoid strenuous activity for a week or two.
• Don't wear hats or other headgear that could irritate your scalp.

Hallo!
Ich hab im August 2023 den Antrag auf Vä/Pä gestellt. Danach kam die Aufforderung zum Zahlen, was ich etwa eineinhalb Monate später gemacht hab. Im Dezember hatte ich dann die Anhörung beim Gericht. Danach bekam ich die Post darüber, dass die Gutachterinnen beauftragt wurden. Die Gespräche hatte ich dann einmal im Januar und im März. Habe dann beide Gutachten vom AG per Post "zur Kenntnis- und ggf. Stellungnahme" zugeschickt bekommen. Das letzte kam vor ca. nem Monat (24.04.). Meine Frage wäre jetzt, wann und was als nächstes kommt. Jetzt müsste doch eigentlich einfach der Beschluss irgendwann per Post kommen, oder? Wie lange dauert das so, bzw. wie lange hat's bei anderen bisher so gedauert?
Vielen Dank im Voraus!
Tl;dr: Wie lange dauert es bis der Beschluss vom TSG in der Post kommt?

Am vorletzten Spieltag der 2. Bundesliga hatten die HSV-Frauen eine schwere Aufgabe vor sich. Gegen die Spitzenteams sah die Bilanz ohnehin nicht brilliant aus, und nun mussten sie auswärts zur SG 99 Andernach auf Platz 4. Nur mit einem Sieg waren die minimalen Aufstiegschancen noch zu wahren, und auch nur dann, wenn die Konkurrenz patzte. Das war nicht gerade wahrscheinlich: Der SV Meppen trat zeitgleich bei Schlusslicht TSG Hoffenheim II an, Carl Zeiss Jena beim Vor-Vorletzten SV 67 Weinheim. Gegen beide Aufstiegskonkurrenten hatte der HSV in der Rückrunde klare Niederlagen kassiert, und das konnte sie an diesem Sonntag den Durchmarsch kosten.
Doch zunächst stand die eigene Pflichtaufgabe im Fokus. Im Vergleich zum mehr als glücklichen Auswärtssieg in München gab es nur eine Änderung: Almuth Schult kehrte nach überstandener Krankheit für Jolina Zamorano zwischen die Pfosten zurück. Ansonsten setzte Marwin Bolz auf die gleiche Startelf, die die Bayern-Reserve spielerisch dominiert, aber vor dem gegnerischen Tor die Effektivität hatte vermissen lassen.
Das änderte sich in Andernach jedoch früh. In der 13. Minute schlug Jana Braun den Ball hoch auf den linken Flügel. Lisa Baum verlängerte per Kopf zu Dana Marquardt, die das Leder erlief und mit dem Außenrist an den Fünfmeterraum schlug. Und da war, wer beim HSV immer da ist: Larissa Mühlhaus spitzelte die Kugel an Andernachs Keeperin Laura van der Laan vorbei und sorgte für die Führung der Hamburgerinnen.
Es wurde nicht gerade ein Feuerwerk abgebrannt, aber der HSV hatte das Spiel weitgehend im Griff, ließ hinten nichts zu, produzierte vorn aber auch wenig. Nach 33 Minuten schickte Marquardt Baum links mit einem Volley. Der Hereingabe fehlten jedoch Schärfe und Höhe, so konnte Melina Krüger den aufspringenden Ball nicht mit ihrem Bauch verwerten. Eine Minute später änderte sich zwar nicht das Schema, nur die Protagonistinnen und der Flügel: Mühlhaus schickte rechts Krüger, die es besser machen wollte als ihr Pendant auf der linken Seite. Allerdings meinte sie es wiederum zu gut: Was vorher grüner Pfeffer war, wurde nun eine Carolina-Reaper-Chili, und mit der konnte Marquardt am Fünfer nicht umgehen - ihr akrobatischer Volleyversuch ging klar links vorbei. Gegen Ende der ersten Hälfte wurde auch Andernach gefährlicher. In der 45. Minute flankte Alina Wagner auf den langen Pfosten, wo Carolin Schraa plötzlich ohne Gegenspielerin vor Schult auftauchte, aber eine Fußspitze zu spät kam und den Aufsetzer über die Latte bugsierte. Da passte bei der Abstimmung in der HSV-Abwehr so gar nichts. In der Nachspielzeit köpfte Maren Weingarz nach einer Ecke auf den kurzen Pfosten über den Kasten. Es blieb bei der knappen Hamburger Führung.
Zu Beginn des zweiten Abschnitts versuchte der HSV nachzulegen. Krüger schickte Mühlhaus halbrechts in die Tiefe, doch Marquardt bekam in der Mitte weder Druck noch Genauigkeit hinter den Ball und schoss van der Laan aus kurzer Distanz in die Arme. Das waren die Chancen, die dem zweitbesten Sturm der Liga in den entscheidenden Spielen vielleicht den Aufstieg gekostet hatte. In der 55. Minute schlug Mühlhaus einen ganz langen Freistoß an den Fünfmeterraum, wo Marquardt mit dem Kopf einen Aufsetzer produzierte. van der Laan lenkte den Ball gerade noch über die Latte. Das 2:0 lag in der Luft. Wieder Freistoß, dieses Mal aus ca. 30 Metern. Wieder Mühlhaus, die den Ball über die Mauer zog und den linken Pfosten traf. Aber die Szene war noch nicht vorbei, denn Krüger setzte rechts nach und blockte einen Befreiungsversuch, ehe sie mit links auf den zweiten Pfosten flankte. Marquardt stieg hoch und köpfte aufs kurze Eck, und laut Schiedsrichter-Assistentin patschte van der Laan die Kugel erst hinter der Linie aus dem Tor. Schiedsrichterin Sonja Reßler entschied auf 2:0 in der 62. Minute. Marquardts zehnter Saisontreffer, damit rückte sie auf Rang drei der Torjägerliste vor, zusammen mit Andernachs Schraa.
Freistöße blieben das gefährlichste Mittel der Hamburgerinnen. Einen solchen - natürlich getreten von Mühlhaus - konnte van der Laan nur mit Mühe zur Seite abwehren, nachdem niemand aus dem Pulk vor ihr an die Kugel gekommen war. Der HSV hatte nun den Schwung, um den Sack zuzumachen. Baum trieb den Ball in der 70. Minute erst Richtung Mittellinie, schlug dann einen Haken, gefolgt von einem herausragenden Diagonalpass hinter die Abwehr auf Krüger, mit der sie die Seiten gewechselt hatte. Deren Flachschuss konnte van der Laan noch parieren, den Abpraller köpfte Mühlhaus ins verwaiste Tor zum 3:0. Saisontor Nummer 19, die Torjägerkrone kam immer näher.
Und Andernach? Deren eher homöopathischen Bemühungen, nach nur zwei Punkten aus drei Spielen nochwas Zählbares mitzunehmen, wurden bei einem Freistoß von Leonie Stöhr in der 77. Minute spürbar, die vom linken Strafraumeck am langen Pfosten vorbeischlenzte. Anders der HSV: Baum schickte links die aufgerückte Linksverteidigerin Sarah Stöckmann auf die Reise, und die fand in der Mitte Melina Krüger vollkommen blank. Aus 8 Metern setzte die Ex-Magdeburgerin die Kugel unter die Latte - 4:0 nach 80 Minuten. Da war die Effektivität, die gegen die Bayern noch gefehlt hatte, allerdings auch unter Mithilfe einer desolaten Rheinländer Defensive. Die auch beim langen Ball von Emilia Hirche in der 90. Minute wieder einmal nicht gut stand. Krüger war im Zentrum durch, musste allerdings nach rechts an van der Laan vorbei, wurde abgedrängt und Krump geblockt, sonst wäre diese Partie sogar 5:0 ausgegangen. So blieb es jedoch dabei.
Der Freude folgte allerdings schnell die Ernüchterung: Der SV Meppen hatte zeitgleich 2:0 bei der TSG Hoffenheim II gewonnen und vorerst Rang zwei übernommen. Bei drei Punkten und 6 Toren Vorsprung in der Differenz, mit dem durch das 1:1 in Ingolstadt abgestiegenen VfL Wolfsburg II. als nächstem Gegner, war klar, dass es mit dem Aufstieg nichts mehr werden würde. Endgültig wurde es drei Stunden später, als Carl Zeiss Jena Rang zwei mit einem 4:0 in Weinberg zurückeroberte und den Vorsprung auf den HSV wieder auf vier Punkte schraubte. Wie die Männer bleiben also auch die Frauen in der 2. Liga. (Das allerdings als Aufsteiger - was ist bei den Herren die Ausrede?) Im letzten Heimspiel der Saison gegen Gütersloh geht es kommenden Sonntag also nur noch um die Verteidigung von Platz vier im Fernduell mit der SG 99 Andernach.

Aus HSV-Sicht wird der letzte Spieltag also relativ uninteressant. Für neutrale Beobachter bleiben jedoch zwei spannende Fragen: Wer steigt auf - Jena (gegen Hoffenheim) oder Meppen (gegen Wolfsburg) - und wer steigt ab - Weinberg (beim SC Sand) oder Bayern II (gegen Frankfurt II)?
Sicher ist nur, dass Hoffenheim und Wolfsburg absteigen. Im zweiten Fall hat das womöglich Konsequenzen für die Regionalliga Nord. Nicht aus Hamburger Sicht, denn weder der HSV II noch der FC St. Pauli drohen abzusteigen. Im Gegenteil, die Reserve der Rothosen eroberte am Samstag mit einem 8:1-Kantersieg gegen den TuS Büppel einen Spieltag vor Schluss Rang drei von der U20 des SV Meppen, die beim abgeschlagenen Schlusslicht Eintracht Braunschweig sensationell 0:2 vergeigte. Und ATS Buntentor bräuchte im wetterbedingt auf Mittwoch verschobenen Derby gegen Werder II schon einen Sieg mit 9 Toren Vorsprung, um noch am HSV vorbeizuziehen. Die acht Hamburger Tore teilten sich sieben Spielerinnen, nur Helena Gavrilovic - ehemalige bosnische U17-Nationalspielerin, die 2022 in der EM-Vorrunde gegen den späteren Titelträger Deutschland auf ihre Clubkolleginnen Paulina Bartz (inzwischen Bundesligaspielerin bei Bayer Leverkusen), Svea Stoldt und Marlene Deyß traf - netzte doppelt ein. Es war ein komischer 21. Spieltag an diesem Pfingstwochenende. Meister SV Henstedt-Ulzburg vergeigte das Schleswig-Holstein-Derby gegen Holstein Kiel - letzter Saisongegner des HSV II auf der Waldwiese in Kiel - beim Heimausklang (abgesehen von der Aufstiegsrunde) mit 1:3. Und der FC St. Pauli knallte Hannover 96 auswärts mit 5:0 weg, obwohl bei den 96erinnen Toptorjägerin Anna-Lena Füllkrug (27 Saisontore) 90 Minuten durchspielte. Trotzdem: Pauli bleibt am Saisonende hinter dem HSV - das können die Männer nicht von sich behaupten... Aber zurück zur Relevanz des Wolfsburger Zweitliga-Abstiegs: Sollte der SV Henstedt-Ulzburg gegen Union Berlin den Aufstieg in die 2. Bundesliga nicht schaffen, muss der Tabellenzehnte ebenfalls absteigen. Das wäre aktuell der FC Jesteburg-Bendestorf, bei dem viele frühere Hamburgerinnen im Kader stehen, unter anderem die Ex-Rothosen Tania Rocha Ferreira und Maleen Gerkens oder die frühere Bergedorfer Regionalliga-Goalgetterin Fabienne Stejskal.
tl;dr Trotz eines verdienten 4:0-Auswärtssieges bei der SG 99 Andernach haben die HSV-Frauen den Durchmarsch von der Regionalliga in die Bundesliga verpasst. Die Konkurrenz - SV Meppen und Carl Zeiss Jena - gewann ebenfalls ihre Spiele, wodurch Jena auf Rang zwei weiter 4 Punkte Vorsprung auf den HSV hat. Am letzten Spieltag geht es für die Rothosen zuhause gegen Gütersloh nur noch um das Verteidigen von Platz 4. In der Regionalliga eroberten die 2. Frauen durch ein 8:1 gegen den TuS Büppel den 3. Platz und werden die Saison in jedem Fall, anders als die Männer, vor dem FC St. Pauli beenden. Zum Abschluss geht es nächsten Sonntag zu Holstein Kiel.
