Not sure who wrote this, but it's in my 2016 quotes collection (I compile quotes as a word doc, annually, and it seems a beautiful essay on post-traumatic growth, about which my friend and Not Too Late contributor Roshi Joan Halifax has so much to say.) The essay: Last year, the poet Jane Hirschfield shared with me that her life broke open when she first read a haiku by Izumi Shikibu. Izumi was a tenth century Japanese poet of the Heian period. This beautiful haiku is about risk, suffering, permeability, tenderness, and courage, the inner integuments of altruism. Izumi’s haiku: Although the wind blows terribly here the moonlight also leaks between the roof planks of this ruined house. Jane later wrote, “Wall up your well, and you will stay dry, but also stay moonless.” I believe that we have to let life into our lives, let others into our lives, let the world into our lives, let love into our lives, and also let the night into our lives, and not let the roof over our head, our knowing, our fear, keep out the moonlight. Altruism is exactly this permeability, this wall-less wilderness of the world, this broken roof that lets the moonlight flood our ruined house, our suffering world.”

[thank you Rebecca Solnit]

Prompt 347

Dan huffs, glaring at the counter as though it would suddenly become more of his height. Who knows, maybe he’d manage it if not for the fact Mom- curse his baby body for getting attached- was right there watching him.

“Do you want help?” Danny didn’t sound amused at his struggles at least, so small mercies as he begrudgingly held up his hands to get picked up. And ignore the cooing of the worker as he even more begrudgingly handed over his pokeball to be healed. They better not lose them…

Though he supposed being carried like this made it easier to ignore the other people in the center, curling into mom’s coat. He ignored the chuckle his perking up got, grabbing his pokeball back and holding it close to his chest again. No murder today then. Even if one of the people look familiar and has been staring at them for way too long and it’s suspicious…

(The displaced hero-vigilante on the other hand, swears the child looks familiar. Like, world-ending threat familiar. And they don’t want to jump to conclusions but…)

Just some pokemon ideas, ignore it if you wanna or have your own ideas lol ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Stay for the summer...if you dare.

My new book "Summer in Horseheads" is available now! 🐴🦴

A creeptastic summery story that follows Negasi Zane as he moves to America with his mother and her new husband to a small town named Horseheads, New York. There, Negasi discovers that all residents flee the town when the neighborhood 'freaks' return from their peculiar boarding schools abroad. With an entire summer in a strange, foreign place ahead of him, Negasi has little choice but to befriend the same murder of teens whose mere presence is enough to scare away an entire town...

obligatory rock murder mention

#i think someone said earlier that they had kind of a lot of mind control stories 'back in those days'#dont remember where #but now im trying to think if we have a lot of them in new who #and if theres something to that in terms of like societal preoccupations #but i guess im just gonna have to...........continue my classic who watch for that and make notes #what do we have in new who? satan comes to mind #midnight but i feel like thats..........a very particular kind it's not like the hypnosis thing you see here #or with the master #or i think sarah jane in the hand of fear?#maybe its JUST because they had the master around who kept hypnotising people tbh like that seems possible #the unquiet dead but thats ghosts more than mind control #i feel like we've got more bodies being taken over than minds in new who?#like the gas mask thing. midnight like i said. 42 with martha and 10?#love and monsters. idiots lantern. the vashta nerada. that guy who got turned into an ood. the masters thing in end of time #11 and the flesh. the god complex perhaps could be mind control? but feels different to me too #but i also havent watched really a lot of classic who so i dont know the vibe of their supposedly frequent mind control #town called mercy. asylum of the daleks. crimson horror. journey to the centre of the tardis? cybermen #it all feels more about the hijacking of the body than the mind or will or whatever #would be intersting to actually look into #if i continue my classic who watch #biggest mind control in new who might have been those mummy monks in pyramid/lie of the land?

I think we should have more httyd or rotbtd horror

#might do it myself but i need practice writing scary stuff im Planning on doing some practice drabbles #berk is a Perfect setting for small town horror #so is burgess #but imo berk would work better due to its scenery and it being an island #seaside town horror my beloved <- grew up near the coast. biased.#ik alr lots of ghost jack stuff but its still a fun concept #possible body horror aspect of bear transformation in brave is mad underrated #being locked in a tower makes for some great psychological horror.#or maybe even some of the 'monsters' she was being protected from could be real? just not quite as gothel described #Also. big fan of viking ghost hiccup!!!#and the scariness of some of the canon dragons us also underrated #and lots of their encounters coukd very quickly turn into horror scenarios #and theres the lycanwing concept as well!!!#so much to work with dhdjdiwknflw #httyd #rotbtd #httyd au #rotbtd au #moth.txt #deyas dragons

Bodie, California

Bodi is a ghost town in the Bodie Hills east of the Sierra Nevada mountain range in Mono County, California, United States. It is about 75 miles (121 km) southeast of Lake Tahoe, and 12 mi (19 km) east-southeast of Bridgeport, at an elevation of 8,379 feet (2554 m). Bodie became a boom town in 1876 (147 years ago) after the discovery of a profitable vein of gold; by 1879 it had established 2,000 structures with a population of roughly 8,000 people. The town went into decline in the subsequent decades and came to be described as a ghost town by 1915 (108 years ago). The U.S. Department of the Interior recognizes the designated Bodie Historic District as a National Historic Landmark. Also registered as a California Historical Landmark, the ghost town officially was established as Bodie State Historic Park in 1962. It receives about 200,000 visitors yearly. Bodie State Historic Park is partly supported by the Bodie Foundation.

FUCK I ACCIDENTALLY DELETED IT NO ALRIGHT I HAD TUMBLR OPEN IN A DIFFERENT TAB I COPY AND PASTED

hi! screaming! hello! i'm so so sorry if you were looking for actual ghost stories because it's. the title of a fanfic i'm writing currently (is linked here). and they're my darlings so i'm going to talk so much about it anyway but sorry if that's not what you were looking for :| i do love ghost stories so i did put one in the tags :D

all of them are 24/25ish in this au which. i am not quite. fig did not go to college. gorgug's going to a community college. kristen was intensely homeschooled. adaine got to applying to college and then killed her dad (which put a damper on things). riz and fabian went to the same college.

imma list power sets / costumes / vigilante names here too! the BKs have all been revealed and there's nothing too dramatic that's going to happen

Fig (Mockingbird): Shapeshifting, audio manipulation, accelerated healing, fire immunity (due to heritage). Red rhinestone masquerade mask; fiery feather overcoat/grey tights/combat boots.

Adaine (The Oracle): Divinatory visions, heightened strength/speed, flight, elemental manipulation. also, she has a sword. Blue cloth mask+veil; white leotard/tights + blue floating cloths/scarves(?).

Riz (Shadowshot): shadow teleportation (not manipulation!), accelerated healing, heightened strength/speed. Black cloth mask; black cape over a brown leotard+tights.

Kristen (Sunlit): light manipulation, heightened strength/speed, accelerated healing, flight, healing. Gold mask with sun+moon spokes; basically a recolored squirrel girl.

Fabian (Silver): heightened strength/speed. he's got spiderman's costume without a crystal design replacing the spider.

Gorgug (n/a): metal manipulation, metal animation, heightened strength/speed.

also if anyone wants to hear about the playlist i am so so happy to tell you about the playlist

#anyway here's an actual variation of a ghost story i have: the most dangerous part of a town isn't the graveyard.#the ghosts there are laid to rest‚ sleeping kindly‚ caring for those who visit and only vengeful for those who come with ill will. no.#the most dangerous part is what is yet to be. the bodies are buried‚ but they have no headstone. they have yet to know who they are.#nobody knows which grave is which‚ which grave is filled and which is awaiting a new body. there's an unknowingness in this section‚ and‚#why wouldn't they kill to fill the graves around them? they have no name. no lovingly remembered. they just sit and wait and #grieve the themselves they no longer know #questionnn!#and i'm talking i guess #not maintagging this #ghost stories au

Title

Bodie Ghost Town

Deryk Baumgärtner

Germany

Bodie is a genuine California gold-mining ghost town.

In 1875, a mine cave-in revealed a rich vein of ore, which led to purchase of the mine by the Standard Company in 1877. People flocked to Bodie and transformed it from a town of a few dozen to a boomtown. In 1881, Bodie's "bust" began and the town's population declined drastically. The town's population continuing to decline until only a few remained.
