#atmospheric ghost light

[briefbestiary]

A grinning lantern, carrying a bright flame. A blazing glow, regardless if its a living light or a fox's fun.

Lost in the space like in dark ocean depths...

Plunged into an abyss without end..."

'How strange these summer twilights are . . . The light becomes so intense and yet it dissolves forms instead of revealing them. Your garden looks so odd. There's such a peculiar bluish lustre on the pool. It's a light for seeing ghosts in.'

Iris Murdoch, from A Fairly Honourable Defeat

the thing that gets me about the, "oh it's quick bc it's war, it's more realistic," defence for soap's death is 09 ghost's and roach's deaths were abrupt as well but they were still treated with dignity

ghost screams for roach and tries to kill shepherd before he’s killed. we the player get to sit and watch with a dying roach

roach tries one last time to get the dsm even though it’s hopeless. we see the way they throw ghost's body, the rising dread as they spread the fuel. the hatred for shepherd drags out when he flicks the cigar and lights it and the screen slowly darkens, music swelling as he gets away with it and roach finally dies as well

we hear price scream through the comms and the devastating realisation hits that if he'd called just a little earlier, they might have lived

that is how you do an abrupt but dignified death that respects the audience

mw3 is how you throw together a rushed and disjointed climax and hope people swallow it

Happy Halloween!

[briefbestiary]

A burning light, when St. Elmo's Fire burns upon a ship, it stands as a good omen to sailors.

Yet, the bright spheres of light near the marshes, rivers, and swamps are less benevolent. They are said to rise from the bodies of the dead, and either purposefully or unintentionally lead others to their deaths.

🚨Please don't ignore🚨

I am Reem, a Palestinian from Gaza ،I am 50 years old, my husband passed away since I was not 23 years old at that time, leaving me with three children, the oldest of whom is Diana 5 years old, Issam 4 years old, and my youngest son Abdullah 10 months old, so I decided not to marry again and to devote my life to them, so I completed my education and worked as a teacher in a government school.

and raised my children until they grew up and got married and we remained until this moment in one house, supporting each other through the days in a family atmosphere and a house full of warmth and reassurance.

Until the war came and made us lose our home and the security we lived in,

as we were deported from the north of the Gaza Strip to the south, where there was no shelter except a dilapidated tent,

This is my daily struggle to light a fire and use it to prepare bread and cook food with the firewood and paper available to us in the absence of electricity and cooking gas

and I remained playing the role of father and mother until this moment and supporting my children and their children, as I also have three grandchildren.

But I regret to say that after more than a year of the ongoing war, I lost all the money I had saved and now we are in dire need of help in order to complete and provide the necessities of life, which have become competitive with the prices of gold here in the south of Gaza. We are suffering from a shortage of all the necessary necessities as there is no access to healthy food, clean water, shelter and medicine.

Every penny counts. Your support will make a huge difference in saving lives. I believe in the free world and your kind hearts.🌹♥️🌹

Ngl tho, I say the horror game is scary but if anyone were to walk by and see me, I'd be more of the horror instead of the game cuz of how I play with my head down, squinting, and my hair half-blocking my face (to shield me from the horror) so if anything, I'm the horror in the house.
