Supernatural Cops

The fandom has come to the conclusion that all kinds of supernatural or unusual things happen in Amity Park and people take it like any other Tuesday.

Still, I wouldn't be surprised if this place is the only place in the country (not to say the world) that has a police division in charge of handling Cults…

Yes, in Amity Park there is a group of police (not to say half of all the police in the city) that are dedicated to controlling cults and their peculiarities, because we must remember that, despite the reputation of being a tourist trap, this town in the middle of nowhere has the reputation of being the most haunted place in the country (or the world), so it wouldn't be crazy to say that on certain dates of the year many "tourists" (cough cultists cough) arrive who come in order to do "events" (cough rites cough), so whether they want it or not, someone has to control that the limits on how they are "celebrating" are not broken… and to top it off, the limits of what the city considers acceptable is a greater margin than other places, so it has become common for some groups to come back later.

So yes, Amity Park has one of the most effective police departments in dealing with cults and supernatural beliefs, not only are they effective in identifying participants, most of the time they know what kind of cultist they are dealing with, whether they are just playing a game or are the real magic business and how dangerous/troublesome they will be in the end.

What's more, this group is so good at what they do, that many times the inhabitants of Amity Park prefer to call them instead of the GIW (they are too destructive and there is still no 100% reliable insurance that will pay for the damages they cause), when it comes to a problem with a ghost and the ghost child is not around.

and that competition is more noticeable when other cities in the country begin to ask for help with some unknown cults that are appearing rap

this is how I sound at historical cemeteries

Headcanoning the Stolls as sons of chthonic Hermes and Katie as a daughter of Demeter Erinys (Demeter when she was grieving Persephone and killing everything) is fun because

A. using the epithets gives ways to explore powers for non-big three kids (THEY ARE CHILDREN OF GODS WHY THE FUCK CAN THE HERMES KIDS ONLY OPEN LOCKS AND RUN 'FAST')

B. Demeter got another one of her daughters falling for a Chthonic dude and she does not like it.

Legend, at the slightest provocation: I came into this earth screaming and covered in someone else's blood and and I'm not afraid to leave the same way.

I was gonna scroll past this cemetery for sale, but it's actually pretty cool. Firstly, look at the front gate. The Historic Mount Vernon Cemetery located in Philadelphia, PA is the final resting place of numerous famous Pennsylvanians and their families including members of the Drew and Barrymore families, revolutionary and civil war veterans, and other prominent persons. Price is $1M.

I don't know how they allowed it to get so overgrown, kind of disrespectful, so it will need a good mowing. But, look at some of the monuments. They're works of art.

It's 26.79 acres and the buyer has the responsibility of finding out if any plots are available, but I think it could be a tourist destination.

These monuments are so pretty.

I wonder if it would be permissible to built a caretaker's home inside the gate.

I don't know, but this looks like some unoccupied land. The buyer of the Cemetery will also receive financial support through restricted plot trust funds for maintaining the Cemetery in perpetuity under the supervision of Philadelphia Orphans’ Court and the Pennsylvania Attorney General.

"A Snapping Sound" still lives rent free in my head.

I'd be rich if I put a quarter in a jar every time something has reminded me of or made me want to reread this masterpiece of a story.

Ridley Scott: I made a film about two rival officers constantly duelling throughout and in the aftermath of the Napoleonic Wars, and now I've actually done a film about Napoleon!

Me: Great! Could you also do a film about Baron Dominique Jean Larrey, a vital innovator in European battlefield surgery and triage, often considered the first military surgeon; who pioneered the ambulance volantes ("Flying ambulances") to quickly transport wounded men from the battlefield, effectively creating a forerunner of the modern MASH units; co-led the team that performed one of the first accurately recorded pre-anaesthetic mastectomies in Western medicine; was spotted helping wounded men while under heavy fire during the Battle of Waterloo by the Duke of Wellington who purposefully ordered for his soldiers not to fire in Larrey's direction; and when captured by the Prussians after the battle was about to be executed on the spot when he was recognised by one of the German surgeons, who pled for his life because he had saved the life of Field Marshall Blücher's son some years earlier?

Ridley Scott:

Ridley Scott: Um.

Me: Yeah. Didn't think so.

Gracie just reminded me of when I was in Scotland, I was walking in the very pretty cemetery and petting some dogs I’d just met and talking to their owners, and one asked me what I was studying, and when I told her “gothic lit”, she said “oh, that explains why you’re hanging around here then”

like. MA’AM sldjsbdbdb. and she’s not WRONG I do love a cemetery

the history of immigration in buenos aires is so goddamn interesting the early 20th century must've been such a strange moment to live in this city. over 50% of the population was immigrant, and from all over. and they both took from the local culture and added to it. my grandma (armenian but born here in the 30s) developed a taste for tango from her neighbours who were second generation english (older immigration). my dad grew up in the 60s with a galician-uruguayan mother and a canarian grandpa, next to a huge italian family and an armenian family who raised goats, and spent his childhood playing on the streets with the children of spaniards, italians, poles, irishmen. in the last thirty or so years my neighbourhood has become mostly a bolivian and peruvian neighbourhood but nowadays there's a lot of venezuelans and colombians, some senegalese people. you keep hearing people speak russian and ukranian on the streets. now. anyways, fascinating.

Finally, for the all the goths who've always wanted to live in a cemetery, now there's a chance to actually own one. Look at how nice the office is- I live near an old cemetery that, right inside the gates, has a lovely Dutch Colonial caretakers house. My grandparents are buried there.

That office can certainly be turned into a cute little cottage. The current owners are on the verge of losing the 9.84 acre Crown Hill Cemetery located in Seattle, Washington, and the court has ordered them to sell it. Surely, there must be enough business in a place as big as Seattle, but the description notes that the owners have never made any improvements to the property. Price- $1.495M.

It's already nice, and a new owner could make it even better. According to the description, it has room to increase revenue by adding Mausoleum and/or Columbarium (niches for cremated remains) buildings or structures on the vacant lots in the SW corner by adding them on under-utilized roads throughout the grounds.

Clearly the current owners were remiss and didn't keep up with the times. They didn't offer any modern options.

It has a lot of nice trees. I would put a beautiful iron fence around it, with columns and a big entrance gate. Maybe with a couple of tasteful gargoyles.

The smaller structure here looks like an outdoor altar, but I have no idea what the bigger one is.

Anyway, it's up for grabs.

I am gonna step away from using vulture culture and just stick to taxidermist.

I’m tired of seeing so much fucked up stuff in the community, and I don’t think I can really sit and defend it in the current state it’s in. I’ll keep my resources as is for now and still post in the tags a bit, but I really don’t want to be associated in a space where people are actively promoting illegal/unethical trade of animal parts or animal suffering for the sake of collecting.

'Twas Halloween night I stood frozen in fright, when the spirit appeared before me. "Will you help me?" asked she, "'tis All Hallows' Eve, the dead rise and wander this night. Ohhhhhh, 'twas long, long ago, another Hallowe'en night, when I lost my beloved Henry. Have you seen him?" begged she, "Please send him to me…" she pleaded, then vanished before me.
