tori pevensie's delights

To you, father Fronto and mother Flacilla, this girl

I commend: she was my sweet and my delight.

Little Erotion must not be frightened by the dark shades

and the monstrous mouths of Tartarus’ hound.

She was due to complete the chills of a sixth midwinter, no more,

Had she not lived that many days too few.

Now let her frisk and play among old friends

Now let her chatter, and so lisp my name.

And let the soft turf cover her brittle bones:

She isn't even 21 years old and she is a year out from graduating medical school. She's graduating on average five years earlier than most people. Javadi started medical school at 18 years old.

And yes, she could have sped through college, there are definitely ways to graduate in under four years, but I'm putting her at graduating at three years at the earliest. Maybe there is some insane way she graduated in two years, but that puts Javadi at fucking Sixteen Years Old when she started college. At The Absolute OLDEST. And in some scenarios, she's starting college at 14 years old.

and i know that this is a thing that happens. i know that, but good fucking god, has Javadi ever had any moment to be a kid? has Javadi ever had any chance to make a choice for herself? what the hell did summer vacation look like for this kid? of course her tiktok account is all about work and being a doctor - javadi doesn't know anything else, at all!

and her mother has the absolute gall to be upset that javadi has found a specialty she likes? Shamsi is honestly going to be fucking lucky if javadi doesn't turn thirty years old and realize she completely hates being a doctor! Javadi chose her career at sixteen (lets be honest, probably 14) years old and it was the job both her parents have - did she even conceive of any other options??

the second thing is that he is a jewish man that faces antisemetism. seeing people be detained like that akin to the things that (probably) have happened to his family, most likely instilled fear into him and explains at least some amount of hesitancy to fight them or put face them. white supremacy(which ice is based on) doesn't consider jewish people to be the good guys.

third is, that he knew that if he put himself inbetween those guys, that he'd be detained. just like jesse ended up being. that would mean leaving his ED, not being able to help his staff through this offline nightmare, and not being able to go on with his plans. it is very logical that he wouldn't want to do that to them or himself. he's the chief, they still need him.

I was watching and thought, "Did he hurt himself?" And then I remembered that he tore his back during the move and that's why he started taking medication.
