This is despicable. This is the same okie doke they pulled with Britney Spears (dementia). And the fact that Wells Fargo Bank is even tangentially involved with keeping a Black woman separated from her money should be disqualifying. Wishing Wendy Williams and her loved ones the best.

What would Wendy Williams want?
Lifetime’s documentary series “Where is Wendy Williams?” was clearly a cash grab… was it also a hail mary to escape the guardianship?
With the judge in Wendy's case involved in shady donations and the guardian having other cases claiming they are trapped in the guardianship, what would Wendy Williams want?

Remember The Blind Side starring Sandra Bullock? The movie showed how a kid who had an extremely rough upbringing got help from the family of a school friend, found success in football and ultimately ended up being adopted by the family. Turns out he was never adopted.
Michael Oher says that he was tricked by the Tuohy family into signing documents that made them his conservators. Since he was already 18 at the time the family told him, “that it means pretty much the exact same thing as 'adoptive parents,' but that the laws were just written in a way that took [his] age into account.”
Oher also says that papers were signed so that his story and likeness were given away for free to use in The Blind Side. He also never got a single royalty check for the hugely successful, Oscar nominated film in the 14 years since its release.

I know its not canon but I always liked the idea that Flurry Heart grew up to be a normal pony. Never went on any princess-title-earning quest, no grand magical destiny, no real royal responsibilities. Just a normal pony (who happens to be an alicorn) free to enjoy life with her friends and hobbies
#mlp#mlpfim#my little pony#flurry heart#my little pony friendship is magic#I picture her as maybe being a historian or academic inspired by her aunt twilight#or maybe a designer or event planner or even an engineer#just like some really normal job lol#since the title of princess is supposed to be earned and not inherited in equestria not that flurry heart isnt worthy of being a princess#but i feel like it makes more sense that shes just a normal pony#maybe she helps raise the sun and moon when twilight needs a day off once in awhile though#who inherits guardianship of the crystal empire then you ask?#idk. alicorn sunburst. lol!#wait maybe shed have some kind of weather related job since she has a snowflake cutie mark

Have you thought about a situation where CPS has almost taken Chris away? The angst potential for this AU is good
If they were ever close, Chris would have never known about it...
Also shout out to the anon who suggested I call this AU Guardianship AU!! It now has a name YIPPEEEEE
I'm gonna lore dump about it real quick bc I have ideas and if I do not say them I will forget them.
Martin is 9 years older than Chris. Their parents died when Martin was 17 and Chris was 8. Martin got emancipated and was able to take custody of Chris but like all government branches... it's a really long process that basically drags out for Chris' entire childhood. Martin graduates high school early, gets a full-ride scholarship at Duke University while maintaining various jobs and internships. Sounds like a lot? yEAH bro is TIRED. But he's willing to put in the work if it means a better future for his bro.
Of course eventually he becomes apart of the Tortuga crew and things get a lot easier for them both. CPS is still riding his ass about taking Chris with him on these cross-country expeditions but he's been dealing with them for so long at that point it's not as scary.

Episode 16 in which Mac and Donna received more of Kristen’s school info is further proof to me that she needs some kind of emancipation so she’s able to appoint someone to have power of attorney in an emergency. (I imagine Jawbone or Sandra Lynn.) Mac and Donna have parental rights including legal issues, medical decisions and school enrolment. At any point they could pull Kristen from Aguefort and enroll her at Mumple or Sun Peak. And she wouldn’t have any recourse.
She needs to go to Sklonda and ask her to file a petition for emancipation with the court. She isn’t living with her parents, she has a job as an adventurer (they get to keep the loot) and it is in her best interest—her parents and her have irreconcilable religious differences and they kicked her out over it. A judge would sign a court order Declaration of Emancipation (following California law since D20 is filmed there) and she’d have the legal rights to control her own life.
Alternatively I’m sure they could petition the court to appoint a temporary guardian for Kristen for the short amount of time before she turns 18. It’d probably require proof that it’s necessary and a volunteer—which would be Jawbone and/or Sandra Lynn, since they’re already functioning in that capacity. (I’m sure Child Protective Services would also be involved.)
As a minor with a dangerous job, different religious beliefs, values and a sexuality her parents don’t accept, she needs to not be legally involved with Mac and Donna. If she wants to reconcile with them that’s her choice but that shouldn’t stop her from being legally safe from them and the choices they’d make on her behalf.
#dimension 20#d20#fantasy high#fantasy high junior year#fhjy#fhjy spoilers#kristen applebees#hey there centaurs#I keep saying this#I just feel it’s important#Brennan hasn’t done anything with it#but if he wanted to Bobby could convince Mac and Donna to pull Kristen from aguefort#it’s just a looming threat as long as they have guardianship

pixie says caregivers and guardians a lot, what's a caregiver/guardian? Are they like pixies parents or other people? Sorry if this annoying just confused
Pixie be high support needs and need help almost all time and is not safe alone . so . Government pay for caregivers come to Pixies house take Care of Pixie while guardians are working . Think of is like babysitters for all ages .
Pixie have guardians because judge and lawyers say Pixie too severely disabled and need help with everything in life . and . is not safe and not able take care of self . Guardians kind of like parent , but more serious and for all ages and court judge decision . If severely disabled person have good parents , them can become persons guardian . Pixie not have good parents so instead is Guardian Wizard and guardian Librarian are pixies guardians .
Hope is make sense . is really complicated thing Pixie not understand so good .

Outrageous and Terrifying
Have you ever had one of those days where the universe just suddenly takes a massive dump on someone you care deeply for who has been struggling through an awful situation?
That was yesterday for us.
Romana is a twenty-one year old computer science student, coming up on two years into her degree. She escaped her abusive, toxic, controlling parents in November 2021 and has been living peacefully, renting on her own for a year now.
Yesterday afternoon, her parents showed up on her doorstep with social workers and a court order for guardianship. They ordered her into their car, and acted like the fact that they hadn't called the cops yet was them being nice. They guilt-tripped her about how much they missed her for the entire ride back to their house, and then the next morning had to be talked down from taking her phone and computer away twice.
That's what guardianship means, y'all, that she's not permitted to make property decisions. She is not permitted to live where she chooses. She is not permitted to talk to who she wishes. If she attempts to make her own decisions, she risks being held in contempt of court.
They did not serve her the required notice, nor did they serve her lawyer notice. Romana and her lawyer were not contacted by mail; were not contacted by email; and were not contacted over the phone, despite all these methods of contact having been given to her parents and their lawyers.
There was no attendable court session, where evidence could presented or witnesses could take the stand. She has not been permitted her right to look a judge in the eye and say "See for yourself. Ask me what you wish. Do I seem like I'm my own person to you?"
This happened because the justice who signed the judgment did so without reading any of it. Justice Smith did not read the application, the responses from Romana's lawyer, the capacity assessment report, or even the text of the draft judgment that was signed. How in the inkstained void does that happen?
Romana is eloquent, intelligent, and a great friend. She's been stripped of nearly every right at a moment's notice due to the selfishness of her parents. Honestly, I don't really feel comfortable referring to them as her parents, as though she were some upstart teenager depending on them for everything.
In the province of Ontario, there are two adults who want to keep a de facto prisoner and discreetly got the state to rubber stamp it. That prisoner is my friend, someone I care about deeply.
Try to imagine how that feels. Please, put yourself in Romana's shoes, trapped in that absurdist nightmare. Please try to imagine a fraction of the frustration dawning on horror, the confusion dawning on fury.
Ontario has given Romana no help to pay legal fees. There's no program that will help cover it, no charity that will pitch in. I should know. I looked. I know that sounds like an insane state of affairs, but we spent weeks looking and found nothing. She's got only the resources of a college student, barely scraping by with the help of friends, her sister, and GoFundMe.
Romana is just a person. And like any person, she just wants to live a life of basic freedom and dignity.

See the thing is, to me, Twins at the heart of it has become about loneliness. Regardless of how much they’re explored or present on screen, every character is so painfully alone. By choice, by circumstances, by accident, just so crippingly lonely.
Sprite is alone by circumstance. He’s alone because no one prefers him, alone because Zee is a better bearer of their mother’s expectations. He’s the older twin and overlooked and he still tries, my goodness he tries so hard that it makes me wonder how anyone in his life can see that and not adore him to pieces. He’s so lonely he thinks his brother’s known nemesis is his closest confidant. In this team full of people who hate the one who wears his face he would rather tackle trying to befriend First, that it is the best choice. Idk if it’s naïveté or just unchallenged confidence he built up as a way to survival but it’s so audacious, it’s kind of brilliant.
And it works, it wears First down, he manages to get these people to like him but at the end of the day, it’s not him they like. This timed repose of belonging but only when he is standing in for someone else. Holding onto Zee’s life while his falls to pieces and for what? No credit, no appreciation, not even a hint of understanding from his mother, his father, even Salmon or Tan.
First is similar in the sense of never getting afforded the favouritism Zee enjoys from his father and his sister being a Zee stan just adds salt to the wound. The only people who prefer him are the team and even then they are so factioned he’s part of the in-group and still stands alone.
Zee, see Zee is so interesting to me cause his loneliness is self-inflicted. Maybe it started when the twins were split, maybe when he became part of the team we don’t know. We’ve only seen the worst parts of him until now and he seems to be content functioning in that window too. He’s thrust into this life w/o any input, seems to be doing it right and he’s still miserable. He has the recognition, he allegedly has the skill, he (undeservedly, in a way) has the girl and he still vows to take over Sprite’s life? And do what? Wreak havoc as him? Permanently replace him? Just hang around to fuck w/Sprite?
Idk where im going w/this, just ruminating about characters from this silly twin swap show.
#i find the twins' relationship fascinating#we don't even know what sprite feels towards zee even though he's literally doing so much for him#is there resentment? on sprite's side for never being chosen#on zee's side for in a sense being abandoned in the rigidity of their mother's guardianship when sprite promised to keep him safe?#im sure someone in the tag has said most of this already#and my scatterbrained ramblings are not known for being coherent let alone valuable insights#but hey when on a fandom tumblr blog yk?#twins the series#dae.txt

I was at one point asked by my mother about becoming my full guardian, meaning she’d have full control of everything in my life. I of course said no and refused.
This is a very real and possible things for many autistic and intellectually disabled people. She luckily respected my choices and didn’t file for this, but it shocked me that she even suggested it at first.
I understand a bit why she did, she was worried about me. However, it’s not always appropriate to ask this of someone. No one should be forced to have a guardian if they don’t want to. Everyone should have the right to their own selves.
I’ll speak more on my thoughts about this later because I have a lot of thoughts but can’t get them into words.

I love that Phoenix is so father figure coded in the main trilogy with Pearl. Like the official art where she's napping on his thigh or being held up by him to put up Christmas tree ornaments, and the whole vibe of him bringing her along to crime scenes, and in the stage play where she gets scared and freezes in place so he just picks her up like a stack of firewood. Even from the second game when he's only like 25 he's been irrefutably dad-shaped. It should've been the least surprising thing to happen when AJ first came out that Phoenix had become a dad. That's been an important part of his personality, he probably was born to be a girldad more than an attorney.
anyway it's also really funny to think about him lowkey adopting the half-sister of the woman who tried to kill him and her twin sister who tricked him into thinking that she was his girlfriend.
#I am actually so upset that there isn't more Pearl & Phoenix content#shes like his first kid#au where phoenix gets partial guardianship bc Maya had only just turned 18 and having to take care of an 8yo at that age sounds like hell#i can totally see him just carrying her around bc she's so tiny and he likes flaunting how strong he is#i can kinda get on the side of feenris if that means he gets custody of pearls#i mean phoenix is practically a fey at this point#i hc him as having no family or being cut off from them so Maya trying to find any way to make him her brother is really funny to me#would she channel her mom to sign adoption forms for a grown man?#i mean at the end of aa3 he did the spiritual ceremony thing with Maya and pearls which was something he really didn't have to do#the found family is just so strong in this guy#Mia saw him sobbing in the courtroom with no other family and decided that he was free real estate#needed to ramble again hii#phoenix wright#ace attorney#pearl fey

Thinking about this AU idea again
(Dont worry I'm not done with Reprogrammed yet BUT THIS HAS SO MUCH POTENTIAL IT HAS NOT LEFT MY BRAIN)
I can smell the dramatic "YOU'RE NOT MY DAD!!!" exclamation from here
#wild kratts#chris kratt#martin kratt#wild kratts fanart#kratt brothers#Chris is a little emo but he's 14 so aren't they all#also his parents died so give him a break#Martin is the same except oh my god he's so tired#hes trying really really hard to be super responsible and a good guardian to Chris#also I think it would be super intimidating if maybe he's got CPS looming over his head still debating whether he's a fit guardian for Chri#because of his job that requires so much traveling and long hours#and the government is like “are you ssuurreeee Chris is being raised properly??”#and Martin is like “I THINK SO???”#KINDA LIKE IN LILO AND STITCH HOW NANI IS TRYING REALLY HARD TO KEEP CUSTODY OF LILO#BUT THE UNIVERSE IS AGAINST HER#WK Guardianship AU
