#and remembering death anniversaries

[renlyslittlerose]

Today I found out that a good friend of mine from work passed away suddenly.

He was a cool dude. Really cool, in fact. I remember going for lunch with him just after I'd been employed, and he said that he was going to leave the military if Canada re-elected the Conservative government (we elected the Liberals the next year). It was in that moment that I knew he was a good guy.

He was really into Star Wars. He had a Viper droid model about his desk, and every Christmas he wore a Star Wars themed Christmas sweater around the office. He also had other action figures tucked away in a display case in his office, from various fandoms. They stripped away some of the tough, disciplined military veneer he wore so well.

I'd often poke my head into his office to chat. He'd tease me about something, I'd tease him back, and then we'd inevitably start talking video games. He'd been doing a replay of Baldur's Gate 3. I think he was playing as a Warlock, and had just made it to Act 3. He also had a game he was playing through with his daughter. She had a penchant for playing as a maniac, which meant that the Grove never survived their first playthrough.

As I said, he had a daughter. I saw her back in April. She was nine? Ten? But I'll always remember her as a tiny baby, asleep on her dad's shoulder as he photocopied reports.

The last conversation we had was over an incident at work involving radioactive material (don't worry, its all good). We were joking about what kind of superpowers we'd like if we were exposed to too much radiation, like Spiderman was when he was bitten by the spider.

I'm gonna miss him.

Bruh emotional support ghost kid? Well thats what they are calling him

Suicide cases in gothem are about to fucking plummet boiz cause this one weird blue eyes, black haired boy is now heading to your location.

How does he know where to be? Having a bad day and are all alone? No the fuck your not cause don’t turn around now but theres some shiny blue eyes coming at you from that dark ally. Oh shit hes here to drop some information about you and your lost loved ones that he should know. Oh god the closure. How could you have been afraid on this sweet, creepy, boy who just helped you find your way.

Meanwhile Danny is chillin in Gothem cause the GIW hate it there (none of they equipment actually functions in Gothem so it’s either super haunted or actually not haunted at all). Then all of a sudden he gets approached by a random ghost begging for his help because their sweet baby girl is about to do something horrible. Oops now all the ghosts are following their most loved ones around just to make sure they are there to rush to Danny for help when all else fails. Now hes getting to fulfil his protection obsession double time because one hes helping protect people from themselves and two hes protecting everyone in Gothem by stopping people from becoming villains for revenge. Plus he gets to see first hand how hes making a difference because all those people he saved are sending him some good vibes from all across Gothem.

Thank god he followed Jazz around so much to slightly absorb some of her phycology knowledge over the years. Plus it was actually pretty interesting so she gave him her old text books. Shes also helping him deal with the rare events where he can’t save someone. Just a moment too late or he stops them but they later succeeded in the hospital. Neither are his fault. Now only if he could convince his core of that.

Anyway why Gothem you ask? Amity Park would have been just as good tbh but imagine Batmans face when he finally gets to be face to face with the emotional support ghost boy. Why is he here? Bruce is fine. Batman is fine. Hes not gonna do anything crazy. It’s just a hard time of year. Around their death always gives him grief. But hes an adult and can manage it.

��You know they are so proud of you.” The boy states. As if it’s clear as day, even though it’s Gothem and never a clear day. Batman blinks at him, stunned for a moment. “What?” This boy can’t possibly know that. No one will ever know that, Bruce can only hope. “They see their home, full of such life. That big house that felt so empty, so cold, to them as well for years. Then you filled it with Family and Love like they had always wanted for you. They are so proud of what you have turned it into. Somewhere full of life and warmth.” A small smile graces his face as finally “you have made your parents so proud” and its all he can do to contain himself. Emotions are running high and sue him because he really did need to hear that ok. The boy suddenly looks to Bruces right with a confused face “aren’t all basements like that though?” Before Bruce can even get a word in hes gone. Just vanished before his eyes.

Happy Birthday Five Nights at Freddy's

It's Fall 2014...

I was 12. A friend of mine and I were sitting next to each on the bus for a field trip. To pass the time, he started telling me about this new horror game, called FIVE NIGHTS AT FREDDY'S. I was told the horrific story of the murder of 5 children and how their ghosts haunted strange animal suits. How their purple murderer was never caught. And how the animatronics would kill you and stuff your corpse into the same suits they lay stuck in. His stories and descriptions scared the living daylights out of me.... but I had never been more enthralled and mystified in my life.

"There's Freddy the Brown Bear, and a big chicken with wires coming out of her broken neck. One of the scariest ones is the Marionette. He crawls on the ceiling above you, ready to strike, waiting for the music box to end."

I had no idea what these "animatronics" looked like. So I let my imagination run wild. And I'm glad I did, because...somehow, someway, it led me here.

A twelve year love story, with many more years to come

(non looping gif version of part 3 below the cut)

[donutcats]

some of the things in the nd finale would have hit soooo much harder for me if the show runners weren’t dead set on convincing me it’s only been a year since the start of the show? like, really? 4 seasons packed into one year? all of that shit happened to nancy in one calendar year? sorry but I can’t believe it. everything with the claw and the historical society and everyone acting like they have to move away from each other would have made me so emotional if the show followed an irl timeline and it really had been a few years.
