#Graveyard Rats

[dearorpheus]

the second ep of cabinet of curiosities was made for me actually because i looooove rats i love pestilential rats i love sylvatic plagues i love the flesh eating pandyssian bull rats of dishonored i love the seething masses in a plague tale i love drinking and subsuming them in vampyr i love chittering amorphous swarms of rats and i think we need more of them in media. lovecraft’s rats in the walls, poe’s pit and the pendulum, camus’ plague. room 101 in 1984. 1922 nosferatu which has the pale and withered—plague-victim-esque—titular vamp arriving by ship with an army of rats which disembark and begin besieging the village... rats as portents of death, vessels for disease, vehicles for divine judgement, deeply imbued with our cultural fears. and rat kings are like those elk whose antlers intertwine irrevocably and who become fattened with knowledge of each other having been forced to contemplate one another until death (djuna barnes’ words not mine). they interanimate, they become conjoined, a something rather than many things, and they are fattened with horrible knowledge in doing so. which to me is also grotesquely godly (as all godly things ought to be grotesque). nebulous boundaries and monstrous understanding are at the heart of godhood. to me

i love them as metaphor i love them as single organism and aggregate whole i love them chaotically good or bad and also. they’re god's smiting palm. to me

Hey chat

Here's this little piece of information

Do what you want with it.

(LOGAN AND MAVERICK ARE RELATED THEORY??? MOREOVER, MAVEY IS LOGAN'S FATHER????????????GASP)

prob mean Logan's mom is the grandparent's child, since Ricky over here looks nothing like them (from what I can really observe....)

CARAMIA

(I had the idea Maverick lost a lover to the rift or whatever, something along those lines, and oddly enough I imagined her with blondish hair. Now I can cutely change it to Logan's hair color, and boom, theory connects <3)

Just imagine Maverick going to all the kid's rooms to convince em, except Logan, bc he knows he is his son, and just can't bare facing him, not after what happened to his wife.

Spoilers episode 90

Actually I'm not shutting up abt this and I'm making it abt Ben idc

Ben revealed the most traumatic part of his life to a bunch of strangers because they knew they'd have to work together. AIDEN AND TYLER KEEPING SECRETS should not be allowed. 😡😡 this better be good is all I'm saying!!!

the garment

What do we think this thing is that Tucker Cleveland wears under his exterminator coverall? It looks like something knitted with white yarn and covered in orange paint, maybe intended to look like rusty chainmail?

I had forgotten about this moment, but holy shit I likely frightened the neighbours with my cackling. Murph's face right after Emily says this is the perfect icing on this insanity

Maverick "redemption" arc anyone? (No one wants this and neither do I, however the idea intrigues me and I lowkey wanna see an idea like it where he goes to the psych ward to start his healing process, and by the end of his storyline, he slowly becomes his old self again and accepts he'll be getting help)

...i forgot to write in I'm already writing this oneshot....

something i wished to bring up as i have been desiring to for a while. i will be recoining some of squidthing’s terms from when he was active in the mogai community. why am i doing this? find out in the luna lore DLC . . haha, just joking around! jests aside, i don't think an explanation is quite needed as i’m aware not many are fond of him anymore & for good reason. i do already have some plans, as well as some in my queue scheduled to post soon. if you have any you wish to see, do feel free to send me a message in my inbox & i will see what i can do!

also, i wish to mention that i will get to my NPT requests soon. i've been preoccupied with adding to my queue, as well as other things in my personal time . . there are some i wish to do, & rest assured i will try my best to get to them soon. no guarantees, of course, my request rules are the way they are for a reason.

all of this aside, i hope you all have a lovely rest of your day . . . stay safe 🖤
