On Saturday, in New York, a group of friends pulled into a strangers driveway to turn their car around. The homeowner came outside, shot at them, and killed one of the 20 year old women in the car.
Last Thursday, in Kansas City, a 16 year old boy ended up at the wrong address by mistake trying to pick up his younger siblings. He rang the doorbell. The homeowner shot him in the head. He is, miraculously, alive and recovering.
Yesterday, in Texas, a group of high school cheerleaders stopped at a grocery store on their way home. One of them opened the door to the wrong car by mistake, realized her mistake, and quickly retreated and found her friends car nearby. The man in the car followed her and shot at the group. 2 were shot. One remains hospitalized.
In less than a week- 3 people, doing normal, nonmalicious, nonthreatening, everyday things. Turning around in a driveway, ringing the wrong doorbell, going up to the wrong car by mistake. And with no escalation, no warning, it turns to gun fire.
It's a terrible intersection of easy access to firearms and an entitlement to use violence against others. All 3 of these recent incidents were so unprovoked and unjustifiable, and the core thread remains the same.
A man who felt entitled to use violence and had the means to do so with a firearm.
I don't even know what to say.
#gun control obviously#but even that feels like too little#we need gun control#but we also need I dunno some...something more#because what kind of society creates this#what kind of culture allows it#the entitlement to leap straight to deadly force before you even speak to a person#to shoot at a stranger through your front door or car window without warning#just what in fucking hell

Consider this: ghosts are actually exactly what the Fentons think they are.
They're snapshots of a longing so strong, unfinished business so deep it reaches out beyond life. Lingers just a bit longer. And if it happens to meet a dense cloud of ectoplasm (invisible to the naked eye, but omnipresent even in the mortal realm), it coalesces. The ectoplasm fits into the shape of it. Which, when the desire is strong enough, it's got a rough idea of its self-image. This tends to mean a more humanoid figure, though it's more often warped in some way–a self-reflection, skewed by said desire. The warping varies on the dead soul’s perception of themselves, the intensity of their desire, how much time passed after death, and how much ectoplasm was present.
In short… no matter how “normal" a ghost looks or acts, it really, truly isn't human. It's animated ectoplasm with a single goal: an obsession. Nothing else. They're more akin to plants than animals, following a single drive with no emotion. They react to stimuli, recognize threats (including other ghosts), and can even imitate human speech and mannerisms to obtain fulfillment of their obsession.
Not “evil" by any stretch, but they're entirely driven by instinct. A tree doesn't pause to consider the rocks it breaks with its roots. A cordyceps doesn't torture its host for fun, or kill with malice. It just does. It follows code in its DNA to survive and multiply–And ghosts just follow the code in its ectoplasm to fulfill its obsession. The more powerful a ghost, the better it's able to overcome obstacles preventing this–whether through brute force, or manipulation. This power is always directly proportional to the amount of ectoplasm present at the time of formation, and how much time passed since death.
What then, does this mean for Danny? Danny, who's previously come to the conclusion that he's only half-ghost, which surely explains how he retained his mind? His independent thoughts and emotions?
What does this mean for Phantom, who experienced an entire world’s worth of ectoplasm condensed as a singularity, at the exact time of his death? Whose strength only grows and begins to exceed every limit they previously thought possible?
If a ghost was as strong as him… could it mimic a human perfectly? Down to a molecular level?
Could it, in its desire to fill an obsession… trick its own fake mind into thinking it was still human? Or half-ghost?
#Danny Phantom#zilly squeaks#it's the greyed out morality for me dude#on one hand it shows how dangerous ghosts are. how you can't reason with them. how they aren't *people*#and yet. you can still find ways to work with them. there's reason to show them mercy when possible#even if it's not really 'pain' it still cries out and bleeds when struck#i just love this kind of angle where there's a solid reason to find co-existence but also like#knowing full well these creatures are more or less. potentially deadly trees. do u feel me#when does sentience bloom from code?#what caused our ancestors to become sapient?#Danny getting Real Fucked Up about possibly being a full ghost who's just really good at pretending to be human#when really... does it even matter?#(for double the pain: add headcanon that ghosts feed off of human life for additional power)

Watching Sam & Brennan talk about the beauty of frivolity, of adults playing silly games just as seriously as they fight to survive, and... yeah. There are some things that keep us alive, and there are some things that make life worth living, and I think games are one of those things that fall into both categories. Games make our lives better and they make us better at being alive. I think that's pretty cool.
#k talks#adventure academy#dropout tv#sam reich#brennan lee mulligan#and i say this not in an evopsych way. never. but in a historian looking back at the infinite intricacy of human experience and crying#i know i'm not really saying anything that anarchist philosophers haven't already said but it just hits me every time. it's so good#(& when the lich heard brennan quote graeber we had to pause the video while he had a little philosophical squee)#i feel for brennan not being able to play mafia bc he's too busy hosting it tho. bc. mood#i am rarely allowed to survive a mafia game these last few years#i wish i could invite everyone else who went 'oof. yeah. same' to join my decade-long group of assorted folks#who've been playing increasingly complicated week-long games of mafia over forum & then facebook & now discord for a decade or so#bc oh boy. those games are fun as HELL & we always love new players#especially the kind who will play DEADLY seriously :)

THE SEVEN DEADLY SINS
the moment i saw this post i knew i had to make it reality. my demonology nerd ass just had to do them so i speedran it today. design notes below the cut :> the close ups arent good quality because theyre just screenshots but deal with it
GRIAN - PRIDE
I wanted to use a mix of reds and purples, playing off his colour scheme ft. the watchers
Lucifer represents Pride, so I gave him a big ol snake, apples and a generally royal look
His halo is supposed to also represent the sun
I wanted to make him look the most powerful - he is presented deity-like normally, so I just doubled it and ran with it. And also again Luci links.
I FUCKING LOVE HIS FACE the shadow is Always There :>
he does have little starry dots in his cloak ! i wanted to do bigger ones but i got distracted
the grey heart reflects the one he gave to scar in 3l
CLEO - WRATH
The jester hat is because of her win in Real Life
She has horns and bigger ears, but they aint particularly visible here >.>
I probably struggled with her the most since I've never drawn her b4!! but it was fun!! pls if anyone has better ideas for her i beg please
SCAR - GREED
I had SO MUCH fun with him no joke iuwrhfi
His chains represent the obligations of greed - how it ties you down, similar to that one guy in the christmas carol
His wings and tail vaguely resemble my vex design for him. they're green now.
I mixed together the sunflowers and poppies on his outfit because I thought he'd do that
He has two crowns because they declared 3rd life a double win, and because it connects to Greed :>
JOEL - LUST
i had loads of fun with joel too ngl, even if there aren't as many details!!
his version of the crown is a lil love heart :>
his horns have lil flamey tips
SCOTT - SLOTH
i had fun with him too!!
blu.
he has eyes and they are shut! eepy boy
i wanted to use a mix of sharp and soft angles, as I was leaning into the sloth part (chilled, relaxed) in this specific full
his 'wings' are lil star things too!
his cloak also has the same starry thing as grian, and is small for the same reasons
only one crown, as he declared DL a win for pearl (not for himself)
PEARL - ENVY
green eyes - "green eyed monster" thank you shakespeare
holding an apple, symbolising her envy (temptation)
also has a cross over her heart, and she grasps towards it, similarly representing her envy and the whole divorce thing that happened in DL
a wolf!! with many tails!! because double life!!
the eyes representing her wl skin wasn't intentional but it did work out like that lmao
anyway uh i really hope this doesnt flop
you can use the designs if you wanna! tag with #life series deadly sins thankee
extra sketches;
#life series#trafficblr#life series winners#life series smp#pearlescentmoon#grian#watcher grian#kind of#goodtimeswithscar#gtwscar#scott smajor#smajor1995#smallishbeans#zombiecleo#art#life series deadly sins#life series spoilers#traffic life#trafficblr spoilers#I REALLY DONT WANT THIS TO FLOP#i spent far too much time on it#life series fanart#grian fanart#gtwscar fanart#joel smallishbeans#zombie cleo

I was reading about how big and apocalyptic hailstones can be, as you do (we only get the tiny ones where I live), and I can't help thinking it seems like such a fantasyland concept. Lumps of ice big enough to kill you just fall from the sky sometimes? Usually a lot at once? Clearly you've pissed off something supernatural, and you'd better figure out what.
(Alternately, you might cast your own spell that makes the hailstones splash into water on contact, or flowers, or who knows what else. Repopulate The Frog Population With This One Simple Trick Mistake. Whoops, that was the wrong spell. No one will notice, right?)
#writing prompts#the story potential is vast#and not just for the incredibly deadly hazard that big hailstones are#the kind around here are quaint in comparison to some regions#hail#magic#weather#in fantasyland#I know that's supposed to be two words but I like it better as one so there#I say this as a professional writer and editor: neener neener spellcheck; you can't tell me what to do

Thinking about Mob and contradictions today.
About how he's seen as this emotionless, unemotive person, yet he has all these strong emotions whirling on inside him. How he's seen as gullible and air-headed, yet he thinks every little thing through, and only is so easily taken advantage of cause he doesn't value himself. How he's seen as unintelligent, especially academically, yet he becomes so emotionally intelligent over the course of the series. How he's seen as this endlessly kind, endlessly patient and forgiving person, but as we find out in confession arc, he has a deep well of resentment growing inside him that ends in him near-killing his friends out of that anger. How his eyes are red, symbolising both love and passion and rage and danger at once. How his form can change from a monstrous black hole to an innocent, ordinary middle schooler at will. How his hands have both been used to spill blood and gently hold.
And they're not contradictions, really. It's just that he contains multitudes. It's just that he's human.
And he's loved not despite, but precisely because of it. We all are.
#im having trouble forming my thoughts lately so this doesnt express everything that i want to say#but yeah... i just love mob. i love him so much. people talk all the time about how reigen holds so many contradictions#but mob does too. and tbh i think most characters in this show do#its one of the reasons why the character writing in it is so good#and just. ough. i love characters who are both terrifying and deadly and gentle and kind all at once. its my favorite trope#and mob exemplifies it brilliantly#...i will stop rambling now#mob psycho 100#mp100#kageyama shigeo#meta#ramble#late night rambles#my own post

beauty & horror are so perfectly contrasted in the terror. the sun dogs looking like halos watching over the men but in actuality are a sign of the harsh winter closing in on them. goodsir talking to crozier about how beautiful & wonderful the arctic is & then committing suicide shortly after. bridgens discovering peglar’s journal with a poem & a drawing of bridgens’ tattoo while peglar lays dead next to him. the crew finally able to take a break & enjoy themselves at the carnivale only for it to burn down from stanley’s suicide. james dying from scurvy just after finally being able to make a genuine connection with someone by sharing the story of his childhood with crozier. the arctic in general-how it’s a beautiful snow-covered land but is unbelievably deadly.
#me#the terror#the deadly part is kind of on them for being colonists w a strong sense of hubris because there are people that live there#but to be fair the winter was unusually harsh during the actual franklin expedition so they get a point for that ig

sooo sort of a masterpost of info about Wriothesley.
about his character:
hes basically incorruptible, is said to be "low profile and dependable"
mostly just cares about the peace and tranquility of the inmates (he's a protector at heart!!)
treats everyone equally and generally prefers to be "reasonable" rather than use more forceful methods
doesn't really like cruelty and violence but if the need comes, he will use it
he thinks of himself as "neither a good person or a villain, just another soul still living on in this world"
hes basically just interested in every bit of knowledge any person shares and in their unique talents
he says that he himself doesn't have many abilities, but he "knows how to find people who do and get them to work for him"
his past:
wanted to be convicted and spilled everything about how he killed his adopted parents (cough cough child traffickers), even though some wanted to treat him with leniency
learned to lockpick and create small gadgets as a child
gained Coupons in the arena of the Fortress (while injuring himself considerably)
when he got his vision after going to prison he just. hid it between the fabric of his clothes so that no one would know and/or steal it. and then he kinda just hid it some more, for years, until he went to the Palais to receive his title.
how he actually became the Administrator:
accumulated a fuckton of Coupons
got everyone's respect by being so rich, "observant, persuasive, humble and reasonable"
got his account emptied in retribution by the former administrator
convinced other ppl to protest and challenged the previous administrator to a duel
the former administrator run away from the fight, leaving Wriothesley on the last day of his sentence without anyone to sign his exit papers
"so he walked into the office and took over all relevant duties"
about his role as a Fortress Administrator:
has a private information network and many connections
rejected having a ceremony for his title of the Duke. no spotlight for good old duke.
basically his management style just helps the Fortress make money (with one of its main clients being the Palais); he even jokes that his title was basically bought because he's a leading tax contributor
after dealing with the Fatui spies he went for a swim. near primordial water. and he didn't say shit after realizing that the prophecy may be coming to pass, he just started preparing his funky ship.
relationships with others:
Clorinde actually admits that no one really knows all of the methods he uses to keep the Fortress up and running; it is stated that "very few people know him in his entirety"
he seems to think of Neuvillette as some sort of a. higher power that cannot show concern (BUT HE DOES OH HE DOES)
he indeed held out the umbrella for Neuvillette in the rain. the Iudex was polite, but distressed.
gifts a lot of tea to Furina.
got Neuvillettes trust (i think what he implies is that he got it by his actions, not words?) and the Iudex "fought hard for the title and reputation he now has"
when he went to prison Neuvillette told Sigewinne to take care of him and they frequently exchanged letters about his progress (and Wriothesley called her Neuvillettes spy…)
info that i find especially funky:
he's a big softie when it comes to animals and kids
may or may not go outside the Fortress incognito to buy snacks sometimes. he's actually too incognito to know really
doesnt treat boxing like a hobby, "more like a necessity"
melusines put stickers on him and he rarely notices them do so. they are just too good. and besides, it doesn't bother him. they also have bets on who will pit more stickers on him.
he would like to have a happy childhood and maybe the ability to trust people (i am BAWLING)
might be "a bit taller than Neuvillette"
drinks coffee with milk and tea with two cubes of sugar
he thinks Sigewinnes milkshakes taste of desolation
Sigewinne spiked his tea with anaesthetics when he was younger because he always refused them out of fear that they would fog his brain
#genshin impact#genshin#gi#fandom#genshin spoilers#wriothesley#idk why i did it really i just felt like it#i feel like wrio is a bit misunderstood#while hes like. the perfect leader for a prison#reasonable#smart#social#and deadly when he needs to be#i think hes very calculated#and i love that about him#masterpost#sigewinne#neuvillette#furina#clorinde#isnt he a businessman in a way? a social businessman#maybe#the sort that i actually respect#the kind of person that always has a joke but their brain works really quick and is quite universally loved#idk its gonna be an unexpected comparison but#kinda havelock vetinari coded???#and god knows i love vetinari
