Sometime before the cave, Mystery Skulls gets called in to a case dealing with time dilation. While they’re investigating Arthur gets caught in one of the disturbances. The Arthur that replaces him though, is from the future. He has deep circles under his eyes, looks somewhat emaciated, and has a horrible burn on his jaw and chin.
He doesn’t just look horrible, he’s skittish and flinches from Lewis and Vivi’s attempts to comfort him. They try to get him to tell them how this happened, but all he says is ‘it’s fine’ and ‘I deserved it’ He’s very careful to not let them see his left hand.
Vivi and Lewis are shocked, Arthur has always been a little socially awkward, but not broken like the man they see in front of them. When Vivi demands to know how he could have possibly deserved the burn his answer chills her: “Because sorry isn’t good enough”. He’s not just parroting, he believes this.
The dilation shifts again, and they have their Arthur back. He couldn’t tell them much, he was in a place he’s never seen before, probably on a case. They don’t tell him about the future Arthur they saw.
They talk amongst themselves later and decide that since they would never have let that happen to him, at some point he must have separated from the group and got into a highly abusive relationship. They resolve to never let that happen. Anyone showing interest in Arthur is chased off. Anytime Arthur thinks about quitting, they pressure him into staying. It’s for his own good, they’ll protect him.
Fast forward after the mansion.
The gang is ostentatiously back together. The boys put on a face for Vivi, but the moment her back is turned Lewis is hostile towards Arthur. He hasn’t forgiven him, can’t forgive him. And Arthur just takes it. He deserves it, after all.
At one point the blond snaps and starts apologizing repeatedly. Lewis, never in a good mood when Vivi isn’t around, grabs him by his chin and forces Arthur to look him in the eyes. “SORRY? YOU MURDERED ME! SORRY ISN’T GOOD ENOUGH!: Arthur jerks back reflexively, and Lewis can see where his hand left a burn. A very familiar burn.
The triggered memory causes him to look, really look at Arthur for the first time since his death. And he realizes he’s seen this Arthur before. Somehow in his rage he hadn’t noticed how far Arthur had gone. Vivi had missed it too, between her own grief, then jubilation at his return. He remembered those dark marks under his eyes, and now that he thought about, couldn’t remember the last time the mechanic had eaten. Worst, he remembered the completely broken look in Arthur’s eyes. He’s not apologizing anymore. He’s not mad about his new injury or ever that concerned about it. He’s even gone beyond fear.
He believe he deserves it.
And it makes Lewis sick to realize the abusive person he and Vivi swore to protect Arthur from all those years ago was himself.

This is a sad truth for men. My stepmother was very abusive towards my father, and while he did fight back (with words), it was still hard. And she played the victim and made him out to be the bad guy. I watched this happen for a year. And while things are better now and they got the help they needed, it was still a horrible thing to witness.
Men have emotions to, they have feelings and can be sensitive. I feel horrible knowing that some men are getting abused in a relationship, and if they reach out all they get is laughed at, or told that they are the abuser.
I'm not saying I will, but if I am ever in a relationship and I abuse my boyfriend or husband. Then I pray that someone will stop me and help him. Because I may be a woman, but abuse is abuse; no matter the gender. Because if someone doesn't help, then it could get worse. Because people can die if they stay in an abusive relationship, even men.
Imagine that your partner has been hitting you. Yelling at you. You’ve been married for a few years, you’re both in your 30s, you have a little daughter, and everything you do seems to be wrong. You’ve been made fun of, mocked and belittled by your partner.
But you need them, because you can’t take another failed relationship. You can’t be alone again, and they’ve got you convinced that all the beatings and scratches and scrapes are your fault.
You tell your friends and they laugh. No matter how many bruises or cuts you show them, it’s still your fault, so you hide them. You feel trapped, but you don’t feel like you can escape. You’re convinced that you’re just locking yourself in.
And you see online one day an article. Someone else went through what you have. They got the cuts, the bruises, the scratches. You see that here is hope and freedom from these beatings. The physical and emotional pain can go away, there is someone there to help!
So you write down a list of 10 abuse victim hotlines, for people being abused. And you call them one by one.
6 of those hotlines would refuse to help because of your gender.
3 of those hotlines would refer you to or give you a number to a hotline dealing with people that abuse and are looking to stop.
1 of those hotlines would help.
Out of those 10, 2 of those would also laugh at you or say you deserved it.
10 of those hotlines would help.
Abuse is very scary, but what seems scarier to you; being abused, reaching out and getting the help you need, or being abused, reaching out and getting laughed and turned away over 60% of the time because of who you are?
Only 8% of men who call abuse hotlines find them ‘very helpful’ and get the assistance they need.

I’m at 5 what about you?
I needs da monees!!!!
Aaah yes...that wonderful time of year..is upon us again.
Early Christmas thots don’t even @ me
A proud Asexual as of 2019. And I would have a fancy black cape if I weren’t about to go to college and be really broke.
YALL IM SCREAMIN IDEK WHAT TO SAY!!! like fuck for real when I started out at the beginning of this year, I never even thought I’d have enough followers to start doing requests. I’ve worked really hard on making this blog something wicked and it means so much to me that my efforts haven’t gone to waste. Even if we’ve never spoken, every single one of you has helped me push forward and continue to better myself as a writer and a person and I’ve made so many friends that I seriously can’t thank you all enough!! So, as a thank you for all 1,000 of you joining the party, I decided to do a giveaway!!
Three of my followers will be selected randomly and the prizes will be as follows:
1st Place Winner: 2,000+ Word Scenario + A Match Up + 3 Edits (Phone Wallpaper, Icon, and a Header)
2nd Place Winner: A Match Up + Matching Icons & Phone Wallpaper
3rd Place Winner: Winner’s choice of a Match Up OR an Icon & Phone Wallpaper
If you want an idea for what you might be getting, here is an example of a scenario, here are examples for a header/icon/wallpaper, and here is an example of a match up!
You must be following me to enter!
To enter, just reblog or like this post! One reblog = one entry and one like = one entry! (Only one reblog/like per person please, reblogging/liking it multiple times won’t get you more entries!)
If you win the scenario: Please be able to tell me the gender pronouns used, what character you want it to be with, and a prompt (basically just like a request you’d put in for headcanons)! An example would be:
“For the scenario, I would like Kirishima with a Fem! Reader going on a zoo date with her.”
If you win a match up, here would be an example of the information you could send in:
I’m a 5′1″ female with a caramel/mocha skin tone and dyed red curly hair! I’d say I have a curvy figure, however I wouldn’t say I’m overweight or thin. I have a ENFP personality type and I like to think I’m pretty funny and outgoing. My hobbies include baking, which is also my major, reading comics, doing anything crafty, hanging out outside when the weather is nice, watching movies, and I’m also a huuge dog person. I get distracted very easily, I suck at remembering things, and ‘Dork’ is practically my middle name by now. While I do get antsy if I stay home for too long, I also enjoy spending time just chilling by myself and I looove to nap. I’m also a bit of a hopeless romantic, but I’d never really show it unless I was in a relationship.
If you win an edit:
Please tell me what character you would like featured and what colors/theme you would like! (ex: blue and pink with polka dots, red and black with no pattern, etc.)
For the matchups and scenarios, the same rules apply in regards to what I won’t write for so if you need to, please check them out again before sending your information here!
This event will be going on for ONE WEEK from to , so be sure to reblog/like this by then! Once the event is over, I will make a post and I will tag all of the winners so you can personally message me the information needed to get your reward made! If I don’t get responses within 3 days of that time, I will personally message you, and if I don’t get a response a day after that, another winner will be chosen!
Thank you so much again guys and I hope you have fun with this!
I used this when I really needed it and it helped..... And I hope it helps others to.
shower. not a bath, a shower. use water as hot or cold as u like. u dont even need to wash. just get in under the water and let it run over you for a while. sit on the floor if you gotta.

clean something. doesn’t have to be anything big. organize one drawer of ur desk. wash five dirty dishes. do a load of laundry. scrub the bathroom sink.
blast music. listen to something upbeat and dancey and loud, something that’s got lots of energy. sing to it, dance to it, even if you suck at both.
make food. don’t just grab a granola bar to munch. take the time and make food. even if it’s ramen. add something special to it, like a hard boiled egg or some veggies. prepare food, it tastes way better, and you’ll feel like you accomplished something.
make something. write a short story or a poem, draw a picture, color a picture, fold origami, crochet or knit, sculpt something out of clay, anything artistic. even if you don’t think you’re good at it.
go outside. take a walk. sit in the grass. look at the clouds. smell flowers. put your hands in the dirt and feel the soil against your skin.
call someone. call a loved one, a friend, a family member, call a chat service if you have no one else to call. talk to a stranger on the street. have a conversation and listen to someone’s voice. if you can’t, text or email or whatever, just have some social interaction with another person. even if you don’t say much, listen to them.
