PJ for the holiday traditions hcs

I feel like he's so used to traditional Christmas celebrations, and then the Corner Store gets a bunch of those novelty Christmas candies ("Reindeer Poop", "Santa Butts", and those weird Archie McPhee candy cane flavors like sardine and hot dog), and PJ is just. Enamored. He makes Max try every single type of candy, and it turns out the Caesar Salad candy canes are the worst and the Mac and Cheese candy canes aren't terrible??? Also the "Snowman Butts" are blueberry flavored and also turn your tongue blue, and PJ thinks it's hilarious that Max now has a blue tongue.

[ID: Several sets of drawings from the TUA Paranatural au, drawn in a style resembling Paranatural's.

The first are two drawings ofLila as an adult; one in casual clothes and short partially bleached hair from season one; and the other in a commission-style suit with two long braids.

The second is a very sketchy comic. Klaus asks, "You're MARRIED??? To a WOMAN?" and then continues, "Wait Five, are you straight??" Five, looking disgruntled, replies, "Oh my fucking god Klaus." Later, Five lies on the floor and googles "Are you still straight if your wife is a centipede."

The third is a pair of drawings of the Handler harassing Five; the first ten years before the second. In the first, Five is a teenager and the Handler has long hair and is wearing a suit. She is pinching his cheek. In the second, Five is an adult and the Handler now has short hair and is wearing a gown. She is booping his nose.

The last is a set of drawings of @sharkneto's oc's from his series Holding It Together; Sarah, Amanda, and Rob. Sarah is checking her phone, Amanda is holding a piece of chalk, and Rob looks spooked and is saying "...Ghosts?" End ID.]

i call this the Paranatural Au: Dubiously Canonical Edition

aka over the course of drawing this au ive accumulated stuff that isnt super canonical, or is out of date, or is just. too dumb. to really post on its own, so i decided to toss them all together in one go!

the ID is long so the context is going under the cut

the adult lila designs are from when i wasn't sure what exactly i was going to do with her, whether she would be a kid or an adult. Now that i've decided she's twelve like most of the rest of the cast, this design is noncanonical but i do still think it was fun!

five being harassed by the handler isnt *precisely* noncanonical, but in the absence of the crazy assassin skills/wanting to kill her combo, she probably wouldn't be as fixated on him. Like, thats not a hyper successful assassin she can match wits with, thats a teenager. who gives a shit about teenagers.

The idea behind her outfits is that ten years ago the handler wasn't as high up so she had to wear a suit jacket like everyone else, but now that shes been promoted a few times she can wear whatever she wants.

the comic is a really stupid idea i had the other day that i decided to make into reality because i have infinite power to make any image i want. it's really dumb tho. also ftr my five is always aroace, but if he weren't aroace then being attracted to a sapient centipede monster with no human features is. Not straight. its not gay or bi tho either it's.... Something Else Other Than That.

also, i drew sharkneto's ocs because, once again, i have infinite power to make any image a reality. i havent decided yet if theyre canon, but if they are, then amanda teaches physics (i guess this is a middle school? so actually shes probably just a general science teacher lmao. but her year focuses on physics), sarah is a professor at a nearby college, and rob is the school counselor. (sorry guys yall are demoted, but its just because this is effectively a middle school au). also, none of them can see ghosts but are aware they exist, although i did kick around the idea of one of them developing that ability later (not rob). unless sharkneto has notes about all that lol

Paranatural Theory #44: Who is behind the mask of the Ape

After a many year hiatus, I have returned to you, my awaiting public.

I have spent my seclusion solely crafting a theory more venerated than any other meager speculation I’ve put forward before. I’ve read, re-read, and re-re-read the comic, the supplementary material, and the twitter posts created by that of one Zack Morrison, and through this analysis, I have reached what I believe to be a conclusion that is as true as the ground we walk upon: the identity of Mysterious Ape Cultist.

Below I have compiled all of my evidence, my leads, my sources, and my ultimate conclusion. Please, continue at your own digression, for I am so firm in my believe, I must tag this as SPOILERS INCOMING.

it him.

Shred having the same rings as that one unidentified spectral hand from the Great Sphinx fight panel could indicate the person was from the Cousinhood?

Could also just indicate that there are only so many aesthetics you can spread across the many many characters that appear in a 10+ year old ongoing comic.

Sic lusus animo debent aliquando dari, ad cogitandum melior ut redeat tibi.

As I wrote in other two articles about the influence of Latin in the English language we must be conscious that the English language is full of words that come from Latin or from Romance or Neo-latin languages, such as French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese ans so on. A Latinism therefore (from Medieval Latin: Latinismus) is a word, idiom, or structure in a language other than Latin that is derived from, or suggestive of, the Latin language. The Term Latinism refers to those loan words that are borrowed into another language directly from Latin (especially frequent among inkhorn terms); English has many of these, as well. There are many Latinisms in English, and other (especially European) languages. Did you know how much of the English language comes from Latin? About 80% of the English we speak can be traced back to Latin. Many English words share Latin roots with the Romance languages such as Spanish, French, and Italian, so it's often easy to decode a new word by considering the bits of Latin you know. For example, the Latin root "aud" means "to hear," which forms the basis for the English words "auditorium" and "audience," both of which have to do with listening. But then we have also many Latin phrases and abbreviations that are still used in English; they are typically used in laws and legal documents, but not necessarily only in these texts, and they are more commonly in written English than in spoken English. So here’s a guide to the most common Latin words that are used in English. Learn these and you’ll sound like a native English speaker. Some Latin comes to English in more than the roots of words. There are many phrases used wholesale from the original Latin. It pays to know these common Latin words and phrases we use in English as they come up in a variety of situations. You'll often see Latin still used in inscriptions or used as an organization's motto, but you may also be surprised how often it crops up in day-to-day use. Common Latin Words and Phrases We Use in English with their meanings Ad hoc: To this, specific. In Latin, ad hoc literally means to this, which has been adapted by English speakers as a saying that denotes that something is created or done for a particular purpose, as necessary. We did not have an HR manager at the company, so I formed an ad hoc HR committee. Ad nauseam: repeating or continuing to the point of boredom The apparent risks of secondary smoking have been debated ad nauseam. Alibi: Elsewhere The word alibi is a Latin phrase that simply means elsewhere, which will make sense to all you crime drama addicts out there who are familiar with the term as used by police, investigators, and other law enforcement professionals. Nowadays, alibi commonly refers to evidence that someone did not commit a (usually) criminal act because he or she was elsewhere at the time the act was committed. A Priori: Based on hypothesis or theory, rather than experience. Derived by logic, with no observed facts. Although I have never been a bachelor myself, I of course know a priori that all bachelors are unmarried. Bona fide: Unquestionable, in good faith. Since my boss has never been friendly to me, I was surprised when he offered me his bona fide advice on how I could succeed in business.

Latin phrases you should know Bonus: Good. Bonus, from the Latin adjective bonus, which means good, refers to any number of good things in its current English usage. Most often, bonus refers to an extra sum of money or reward from one’s employer for good performance, which of course is always a good thing. Carpe diem: Seize the day! An exclamation urging someone to make the most of the present time and not worry about the future. Cogito ergo sum: I think, therefore I am. French philosopher Descartes’ famous formula of 1641 attempting to prove his own existence. Caveat emptor: let the buyer beware. The principle that the buyer is responsible for checking the quality and suitability of goods before a purchase is made. Circa; c. around; approximately The house was built circa 1870. Coitus interruptus: interrupted congress; aborting sexual intercourse prior to ejaculation. Coitus interruptus is the only form of birth control that some religions allow. Compos mentis: in control of the mind (often used ironically). Please call me back later when I’m compos mentis. De facto: in fact; in reality. Nowadays, it is used to highlight something that is simply a fact or someone who holds a position, with or without the right to do so. She was the de facto leader of the book club. Although the Emperor was the head of state, the de facto ruler of Japan was the Shogun. Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori: It is a sweet and glorious thing to die for one’s country. From Horace, Odes III, 2, 13. Used by Wilfred Owen for the title of his anti-war poem Dulce et Decorum Est. E.g.: For example Commonly confused with the similar Latin term i.e., e.g. stands for the Latin phrase exempli gratia, meaning for the sake of example. In English, it is used to introduce a list of examples in place of the phrase such as. Ego: I. A popular term in psychology, ego in fact began as the Latin equivalent of the first person pronoun, I. It makes sense when considering its modern meaning, which refers to an individual’s sense of self-worth or self-esteem. Ergo: therefore, consequently. It is one Latin phrase that has maintained its meaning exactly in English usage. I have never been to Kim’s apartment. Ergo, I cannot tell you what it looks like. Erratum: error; mistake. Lists of errors from a previous publication are often marked “errata” (the plural, meaning errors). Et cetera: etc, and the rest; and so on; and more. We urgently need to buy medical equipment, drugs et cetera. Ex gratia: from kindness or grace (without recognizing any liability or legal obligation). They received an undisclosed ex gratia payment. Ex libris from the books; from the library: In the front of a book: Ex Libris John Brown Extra: In addition to A common English adjective and prefix, extra is a Latin preposition that means outside or in addition. In English, extra is an adjective, adverb, or prefix that means additional, in addition, or to a greater extent. Festina lente: Hurry slowly. An oxymoron =similar to “more haste, less speed”.

Latin proverbs used in English Habeas corpus: a court order instructing that a person under arrest be brought before a judge. The right of habeas corpus has long been regarded as an important safeguard of individual liberty. I.e.: That is Sometimes mistaken for the similar abbreviation e.g., i.e. stands for the Latin phrase id est, which literally translates to that is. It is most often used to add information that states something in different words or to give a more specific example: Most of the puppies (i.e., four of the six) found homes over the weekend. In vino veritas: in wine, truth. Meaning that a drunk man reveals the truth about himself. Latin phrases still used in English Latin phrases still used in English Impromptu: It means spontaneous or without preparation. Something that catches you by surprise. From the Latin phrase in promptu, meaning in readiness, impromptu is a common English adjective or adverb that describes something spontaneous. My boss called an impromptu meeting today and my colleagues and I were totally unprepared. She threw an impromptu birthday party for her best friend. In loco parentis: in the place of a parent. Teachers sometimes have to act in loco parentis. In situ: in its original place. The paintings have been taken to the museum but the statues have been left in situ. In vitro: (biology) taking place outside a living organism (for example in a test tube) in vitro fertilization Inter alia: among other things. The report covers, inter alia, computers, telecommunications and air travel. Intro: Within. Originally the first-person present indicative form of the Latin verb intro, meaning to enter, intro in English usage has become a prefix or informal noun that describes the beginning of something (i.e., an introduction). Multi: Many. Multi is the plural form of the Latin adjective multus, meaning many. In English, it is used as a prefix to describe something that contains more than one of something else. Multicolored, multifaceted, multicultural, etc. Nil desperandum: Do not despair. Per: for each. This petrol station charges $4.00 per gallon.

My friends and I were celebrating and having a great time, but it really wasn’t a party per se. These facts per se are not important. Persona non grata: unacceptable or unwelcome person. From now on, you may consider yourself persona non grata in this house. Post-mortem: examination of a body after death; autopsy. The post-mortem revealed that she had been murdered. Pro bono (publico): For the good (of the public). Pro bono indicates that something is being done without payment or reimbursement.

Latin phrases and abbreviations Pro rata: proportional; proportionally. The car rental charge is $130 per day and then pro rata for part of a day. Quid pro Quo: It means “of equal exchange or substitution.” Literally, it means “something for something”. You exchange something of the other’s interest for something of your own interest.

Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? Who shall guard the guards? Quod erat demonstrandum (QED): which was to be demonstrated. The abbreviation is often written after a mathematical proof.

Semi: Half A prefix borrowed from Latin, semi translates to half. When used in English, it indicates that something is incomplete or partially finished.

Sandokan and his men set foot on terra firma after three weeks at sea.

What is this parantural thing and where would i be able to read it?

Ahh! Okay, so - paranatural is a webcomic about a weird town, and the goings-on in it. To quote the official About page, it is a "comedy/action comic about a group of superpowered middle schoolers fighting evil spirits and investigating paranormal activity in their hometown" . That's pretty accurate, but there is a lot more - it is immensely funny, full of puns and wordplay, threaded with many, many intertwining plots, and it has pretty nice art (towards the beginning, it is a bit sketchy, but it improves greatly.).

You can read it here

and I would highly recommend blocking both the tags "paranatural spoilers" and "pnat spoilers". As you've probably seen, the last page of the 8th chapter just came out, so there is a lot of buzz.

I really hope you enjoy it!
