Sometimes I boot Gotham Knights just to enjoy the background ambience of Gotham at night while I'm doing other stuff. It's nice hearing the occasional quip from an NPC as something happens down on the streets below, paired with the gentle drumming of the incessant rain. If you scale up high enough, all you'll hear is the rain and the gentle thrum of the city. It's quite meditative in a way.

Sometimes, I leave it running and forget it's the game and not a similar ambient sound on YouTube. I don't even think to check sometimes. I just leave my word processor in fullscreen mode and go about my tasks like a Roomba bumping into things and wandering off to do others.

All of this is to say I just about pissed myself when, after forty minutes of uninterrupted writing and listening to what I thought was YouTube, I went down into the dimly lit basement to do laundry with my noise-canceling headset on, only to get halfway through loading the washer when I heard the dulcet, expressive tones of Jason Todd sighing directly into my ear like gravel sliding over sheet metal.

When I tell you, the scream I screamt. Hgjkgolwmeoihgksdjvmn

Like I'm so sorry, Mister Todd. I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to leave you up there in the rain, but also CAN YOU NOT?!

Death

Maura said, “That��s your card.”

On the card on the table was a black knight astride a white horse. The knight’s helmet was lifted so that it was obvious that his face was a bare skull dominated by eyeless sockets. The sun set beyond him, and below his horse’s hooves lay a corpse.

Outside the windows behind them, a breeze hissed audibly through the trees.

“Death.” Gansey read the bottom of the card. He didn’t sound surprised or alarmed. He just read the word like he would read eggs or Cincinnati.

“I thought that psychics didn’t predict death,” Adam said quietly. “I read that the Death card was only symbolic.”

yknow, I am amused that solangelo fanon was so tunnel-vision in like 2014 that in the midst of crawling through literally every time Will had popped up in the series prior, somehow the ONE singular instance of Will referencing something that the fandom did absolutely nothing with was the thing Rick then decided to draw out into being a major character trait for Will.

Like. Nico eats McDonalds once and it becomes a huge fanon thing, but Will references Star Trek and the fandom doesn't make a peep until Rick explicitly canonizes that he's a huge sci fi nerd. and Rick doesn't even keep it consistent! He changes it so Will is a Star Wars nerd instead of Star Trek. smh 😔 /lh

I love the amount of queerness in The Secret History cause I started reading it without prior knowledge of what it may possibly contain, and in the first half I was thinking, “God, Richard and Francis needs to make out at some point. I can't handle the sexual tension." A few chapters later, Francis pounces on Richard while he's half drunk.

insane that I just woke up and saw this!!!!!

richard siken in poetry magazine—on perplexity and stroke recovery (part of hard feelings, a series of essays by poets writing about difficult emotions)

[thebright3ststar]

sometimes i think about how when richard papen got shot he just sat there politely and waited for everyone to stop yelling at each other before announcing that hey guys I was fucking shot btw

[potatosaresweet]

the unreliable narrator pipeline starts with richard papen (purposefully hiding details or altering events to make himself look better) and ends with shen yuan (being even more lost than the reader on what is going on)

TRB Rodansey dynamic is like. Adam and Gansey are each other’s manic pixie dream girls whereas Ronan is the nightmare goblin man they find fascinating despite themselves. And also Gansey and Ronan happen to be married.

Guitarists share anecdotes

Klagenfurt 2024-07-18 (so nice that Paul had another outfit, makes it easy to date a video) from IG 04lisamarie46

At the final salut, the guitarists seem to already start the anecdote sharing, wonder what Richard's gesture in the 2nd one means 🤔
