#Time Stands Still

Leap of faith

[blueeyedvirgo89]

It’s not the amount of time you spend with someone that makes you open up, it’s the connection you share.

You can be around someone for years,

and still never feel safe enough to be vulnerable with them.

But then, you meet that one person and suddenly,

it feels easy to share your deepest thoughts and emotions.

It’s not about the clock ticking, it’s about how your hearts align.

That soul-to-soul connection is rare and when it happens,

it feels like you’ve known each other forever.

True openness doesn’t need years, it just needs the right person

who makes you feel seen, heard, and understood.

When you find that connection, it changes everything. 🌹

20 Years Of Time Stand Still (Pt 2)

[mersu-chan]

Rick is kinda like Carrie but if Carrie were a boy and instead of telekinetic powers, she had anger issues and a gun

[teathattast]

Cause time stands still now and we're the last ones

Cause everybody's changing, oh but we're remaining

I can't believe I haven't told you so

I see your face and everything it shines on you

"As soon as [Frodo] set foot upon the far bank of Silverlode a strange feeling had come upon him, and it deepened as he walked on into the Naith: it seemed to him that he had stepped over a bridge of time and into a corner of the Elder Days, and was now walking in a world that was no more. In Rivendell there was the memory of ancient things; in Lórien the ancient things still lived on in the waking world"

"Here is the heart of Elvendom on earth, [Aragorn] said, and here my heart dwells ever..."

I Have Made a Slightly Fucked up Hypothetical Involving Time Stopping

trigger warning: non consensual, rape under the cut

(i apologise for the topic, i needed a serious crime for a part of this post {they are utilised towards the end underneath the cut.} )

@pixieskie

I have highlighted the questions in purple while the context for them is in white. If you like, please reblog with your thoughts and answers

NOW, to get started, lets assume you have the power to stop time and move about freely while time is stopped. In other words time is stopped for everything except you

now, if someone shoots a bullet and you stop time, then you walk up to the floating bullet and turn it towards the person who shot it, when time restarts the bullet will fly in the direction of the shooter (because you moved it)

so whats to say this doesnt work for photons? (i promise its not all physics but its a bit of it)

if you move through a space, then the photons you collide with would be sent in a new direction and could meet eyes or cameras allowing them to see you right?? so would you be able to see someone who is moving through stopped time?

and if the human eye isn't enough, what about a slow motion camera? If you could slow down the footage enough, would you be able to get a watchable video?

if you went up to your friend when time has stopped and stood in front of their face for a VEERRRY long time, would they then be able to perceive you?

okay moving on from the physics,

lets say that if , while time is stopped, you can make time work for an object as it works for you if you touch it and have the will to do so

so if you want to make a car work, and you touch it would only the part or the car that you touch experience time or the whole car?

in other words, Do you think that this aspect of your ability depends on what you perceive as an object or is there some definition of what counts for this (i assume object can refer to a living thing)

now going forward, i will be referring to the possibly triggering topics mentioned above

now, lets say this power lies with a certain sick fuck, lets call them 'A'

lets take into consideration the following senario:

A has stopped time and walks out into the street and does those nasty things to a woman (lets call her B )while time is stopped. Would B be able to perceive it? perhaps this is similar to the question above

now, lets say A has stopped time and once again finds B in the street. However this time he allows her to experience time as he does. Now that he has done this he goes on to harass her as any other sick fuck would, only time is stopped.

If he has left suitable DNA evidence like hair or semen which can be used to identify him, but he has an alibi that "holds up" as this is done when time is stopped can A be convicted of his crimes? (an example of an alibi can be: he went to store and stood in front of a security cam, stopped time and did all of this and came back to the same spot and restarts time )

What if A lives in a different city, travels to B's city while time is stopped, does the same thing and uses the same alibi? Could he be convicted then? (to clarify, A would not be seen on security cams while time is stopped )

so B has DNA evidence of what A has done but A has a seemingly airtight alibi, How would a court rule in this case?

if you put yourself in the shoes of a fair judge who has no knowledge of this time stopping business, and also wants to avoid a false accusation and put a rapist where they belong in jail, How would you rule

[aro-pancake]

Since @fangbangerghoul tagged, let's do this.

challenge -> you’re starring in a movie with the last person you saved in your camera roll and the last song you listened to is the title

Time Stands Still (but if this showed up a half hour ago, it would have been something from Epic.)

And the person? I'm also doing fictional, because.

But, here, have Bigby Wolf and Beast. It's the first image I have with non-irl people. The rest is, like, critters (as, yk, me!)

I shall tag: @hockeydemon42 @eridanidreams @aislingdmdt @malwa1216 @atonalginger @silurisanguine @therealgchu @toxiclizardwrites @lisa-and-shadow @bearlytolerant and whoever else wants in.

Have fun, guys!

i present to you: vivikou food

yakou waiting for vivia to arrive, but jolting upon seeing vivia's violet eyes (hmm, i wonder.) as time and yuma's chaos go on, yakou and vivia slowly bond and heal each other. yakou opens up to vivia about the anonymous letter, and vivia just *yoink* takes it out of his hand with an "ah-ah-ah".

yakou just feels at home in the calm, familiar coolness of vivia's eyes, and over time his new love saves him. eventually yakou starts to quit smoking, vivia stops drawing a tear in his makeup, etc. soft old gay people stuff. yakou is AROUND this time to discover he is a homunculus, but has a cute boyfriend to help process that info <3

(imagine yakou helping investigate the blank week!!)

I'm melting over the imagery of Vivia sneakily slipping the letter out of Yakou's grasp. The action initially startles Yakou, but before he can exclaim anything, Vivia refuses to read it and tosses it over his shoulder like dismissing a bad omen. The ghostly detective softly tells Yakou that he shouldn't let that letter dictate how he feels. If he's going to say anything, it should come from the heart, not puppeteered by an outside force. Yakou's oceanic eyes shine with tears of relief.

These two are already so domestic with their time spent in the agency, but they should be even more domestic! Let them have their tranquility without murder mysteries interrupting them! They should be able to rest their heads against each other's shoulders as they read books together for hours on end until they fall asleep. Allow Vivia to play the piano for Yakou while he starts studying music theory in hopes to learn and pick up guitar. If mysteries ever do get in the way, they have each other's undivided company to get through it. Yakou expects Vivia to be frightened by the revelation that he's a homunculus, but the tired ghost's monologues about the bliss of immortality puts him at ease. All the more time for them to thrive in their small happy moments, like twinkling stars in an infinite night sky.

A Degrassi Essay About Rick Murray

(Part 3a.)

"Do I look like I have time for a chat, Richard?"

In a perfect world, and by that I mean my perfect world, season 4's events would unfold something like this: Rick returns to Degrassi; the school ostracizes him via Emma’s campaign; Rick is tormented everywhere he goes; Emma puts an end to Jay's ballistics once the violence against Rick gets out of hand; Rick would learn his lesson and never lay a finger on another girl again; and everyone leaves him alone while he completes his tenth grade year for the second time.

But this is Degrassi. The drama never ends. Drama is inherently messy. And that ending is way too tidy for drama.

While Emma made it clear that she wasn't going to torture Rick in the halls, this memo doesn't reach the other characters. There are three in particular who constantly jab at him: Spinner, Jay, and Jimmy. At this point, pushing him around is just for sport, and Jay would admit to that if you asked him, I guarantee it. Whether or not Rick deserves it, whether or not you feel sorry for the kid, one has to wonder: where are the teachers when all of this is happening? Has anyone reported this to the principal? In this installment, we will explore another popular talking point in the Degrassi fandom: could Mr. Raditch have stopped tragedy from befalling Degrassi? Could he have prevented Rick from returning in the first place?

Let's begin with the first question: could Mr. Raditch have stopped the school shooting? We the viewers learn that Rick has sought out help multiple times based on two different scenes from the show. The first instance is from episode 4x07, the first half of the two-parter episode titled "Time Stands Still". About a quarter of the way into part one, we see Rick making a visit to the principal's office and asking him to intervene in the Whack-Your-Brain predicament that he was recently forced to face. Earlier that day, Mr. Simpson decided to draft Jimmy onto the trivia team last minute after Heather Sinclair got sick with mononucleosis. At this time, Jimmy Brooks is still giving Rick a hard time at school, and he'd be damned if he let that jock taint the only thing he has going for him at Degrassi that doesn't feel like hell on earth! Raditch is already short with Rick in this scene as he rummages through papers and moves back and forth in the office. "Do I look like I have time for a chat, Richard?" He barks at the student. Fortunately Rick isn't discouraged yet. He goes on to tell the principal that Jimmy "doesn't like [him], and he has no qualms expressing it." Rick doesn't name drop here; he simply refers to Brooks as "a member of the Whack-Your-Brain team".

A Youtuber by the name of NotaVampyre uploaded a video about this very exchange and brought something to my attention. Rick's wording in this scene as he's asking for help...he is being extremely vague. At first he starts off direct after Mr. Raditch asks him why he wants to chat. He says that Jimmy is harassing him. When Raditch asks how, that's when Rick gives his vague response. You can make a case that the principal is aware that Rick was at odds with a large number of kids at school, especially if we refer to the deleted scene where Marco and Alex ask him to reconsider letting Rick return to Degrassi, arguing that "he's a danger...especially to girls" as Alex Nunez would put. Unfortunately, the principal is wrapped up in whatever office task he has in front of him, and Rick's concerns are brushed off hastily.

"Richard, I've told you time and time again: it takes two to tango," he tells the boy. It's from this quote that we learn this probably isn't Rick's first trip to the principal's office. Or second. Probably not even the third. The principal goes on to say that he suggests that Rick tries harder to get along with the other student and to come back if anything serious happens. He dismisses the subject immediately after, leaving no room for any more questions Rick has leftover. The student receives the message loud and clear from Raditch: he is left to face this problem on his own.

To answer the question: yes, I believe the principal could have, and should have, done his due diligence; it could have potentially saved lives. Rick, however, should have also been more ingenious in his approach. Nonetheless, I can understand why Rick wouldn't want to open up about his suffering. I imagine it's much harder for teen boys to admit that they are victims of bullying than it would be for teen girls. Not only is it humiliating for him, though the same could be said about a girl, but there is also the feeling of being emasculated that is unique to the male experience. The teen boy thus suffers a double blow to his ego; first in a crisis of his masculine identity, and the second in humiliation. Men are socialized and hardwired to be tough and competent enough to fight their own battles; any other action or reaction would be perceived as weak and feminine, two things that men neither want nor are expected to be, especially the more masculine he is. I think this is partially the reason why Rick didn't express plainly the ways in which he had been harassed, though not necessarily because he is masculine in the traditional sense, especially since it's been presented in the show that he isn't. Rather, his pride prevented him from being completely transparent, not to mention his distinct, eccentric way of speaking. His flowery language sets him apart even more from the other characters, something that I like about him. It's a sentiment that both NotaVampyre and I share. In this instance, however, Rick's vocabulary works against him as he's not being clear in what he wants from Mr. Raditch.

Even if Rick did come forward, the principal would still have to meet him halfway. Perhaps the other part of the reason why Rick didn't open up about the torment is that he had little expectations for the principal to take action. As we mentioned before: this isn't Rick's first visit to Raditch's office; maybe Rick had told him about a specific incident, such as being shoved against the lockers, before the moment we saw in 4x07 and had gotten nowhere. Maybe deep down, Rick knew nothing would come of confiding into an authoritative figure and didn't bother himself with the details of what was happening to him. Alas, these are only my speculations. We really never know how many times Rick attempted to get outside help, though we can infer that it was at least two. We never know what all Rick told the principal about the bullying he had been facing, thus we the audience are forced to fill in the gaps yet again and make our own deductions about what happened.
