If you’re being questioned about a murder by one of those hobbyist detectives. it is an absolute rule that you have to be washing the dishes or pruning some plants while talking, so that when they finally get around to asking a pointed question about where you were at the time of the murder you can freeze for a second with a knife in your hand. It’s enrichment for them you gotta understand. They thrive off of red herrings, it’s their favorite treat, so even if you have a rock solid alibi and weren’t involved with the murder at all you have to give them some reason to be suspicious of you. It’s what friends are for.

#op you need to drop the fic name

it's Who Will You Be When You Wake Up Again? (author anonymous). Genuinely one of my fave portrayals of JGY and SMS in a fic, + good rusong POV

you know I've been vaguely into the idea of 'Jin Rusong's death was faked to avoid him growing up suspiciously in the public eye but JGY gave him to SMS to raise in the Moling Su because he obviously doesn't want to kill his kid if he can help it' for a long time, especially after reading a fun fic with the premise i'll have to dig up and rec soon, but when I brought it up to my brother recently he was like 'hey that would give him a parallel with LWJ raising his beloved's mysterious-background kid' and now it's borderline canon to me

when in doubt about whether or not to make a thing, do it for your 3 hardcore fans.

Ignore this if you don't want to talk about it but if you do - what's the deal with Omelas and NK Jemisin. Did she rewrite one of literature's most beloved short stories into something bad?

it is so unbelievably godawful

Very self indulgent

Do you block people in the same fandom as you just because you don't like their takes?

Ok, so in the original Bram Stoker novel, sunlight is not lethal to Dracula. He just loses most of his powers. I'm bringing this up cuz I want a horror comedy where the hero, sensing dawn, tears off the curtains as a last-ditch effort only to have the vampire go "Aw shit, there goes most of my fancy powers. Guess I'll have to beat your ass the old-fashioned way" then proceeds to just deck the hero cuz a vampire at half-strength is still a fucking vampire.

I don't think most people fully appreciate how free it truly is to roam. not far. the close stuff. the nearby buildings. you can actually just go most places, reasonability permitting. there are places you do not go because you do not need to, but you can go there. most buildings are designed to allow people inside of them, you can look around any store, all the sections, and then you may leave

go as high as you can get in every building that permits, and then go back down. some elevators won't let you do that, but many will. if they ask why you are there, say it is for an interview, wander around a bit, enter the washroom, and if they get suspicious, ask where you are, then apologise. this will only work so many times. if pressed too hard, say you are here for an interview with someone, use your last name for them, and when they say nobody works there with that name, slap your head and leave quickly. if they try to kill you, you've entered into the martial portion of your journey, and I can offer you no guidance

I think that it's really important for people to realize that being disabled is traumatic. genuinely. your body and brain feel like they are breaking down and wrong. you are in constant heavy stress from stuff like chronic pain. most disabled people i know have a somewhat regular emotional break down from the trauma of it all. and we are expected to just smile through it by society, to not be in the way, to not be an issue.
