#before anyone yells at me

The fact that the FPE is $150 is indeed wild, I was too scared to say anything on Twitter but here feels a little safer;

The fact that I bought nosebleed tickets for the Clancy tour and could barely afford those to begin with (I'm still paying them off, thank the lord for payment plans) and the FPE tickets are MORE than I paid for my ticket it's just.... Sad? Is it really cool that we're getting a traveling exhibit for the US and UK tour, yes, is it expensive because it's a traveling exhibit, yes, but the fact that Columbus and Melbourne (?) got to see it FOR FREE!? That's wild.

Anyway wah wah I'm poor I can cry about it all day. I would go if I was in the tax bracket to be able to go but I just can't.... Regardless I'm still gunna see the tour and have a great time. I'm just sad I'm gunna be missing out on a huge chunk of band history and nostalgia :(

Lucifer was going to kill him.

There's no question about it; he's definitely screwed.

What exactly was Death going to do that would anger his brother so much? That's easy.

He had to reap his niece. Death feared for his life.

His brother's mob of adopted children had far too many close calls with him for anyone's comfort, but this was not that. No, this was the natural end of a rather unnaturally long life. (Not that anyone had done this on purpose, of course. But Reality bent to the Morningstar family quite willingly.)

“Hello, Uncle. I wondered how long it would be until you came for me.”

“YOU COULD HAVE MUCH LONGER IF YOU WISHED.”

“I've already had long enough, Uncle. I'm ready.”

“IS YOUR FATHER? HAVE YOU TOLD HIM?”

“Pah, Lucifer tends to panic about this sort of thing. I didn't want to worry him.”

“AND SO YOU WOULD RATHER WORRY ME. HE WILL HAVE MY SKULL FOR THIS, YOU KNOW.”

“He won't do anything of the sort. Not if he doesn't want me to haunt him for ages.”

“I STRONGLY BELIEVE HE WOULD NOT MIND THAT.”

“I'd help Jay with their glitter.”

“HE WOULD MIND THAT.”

A laugh turns into a cough and a bony hand comes up to pat a withered back. 

“Uncle?”

“YES?”

“How much time is left?”

An hourglass is pulled out of long dark robes. The carvings on the wood are elaborate, filled with imagery of Heaven, Hell, and Earth. It is also, inexplicably, covered in glitter.

Only a few grains of sand remain in the top. As the last remaining grains fall, Death hesitates. She can see this, of course. She's seen the same expression on her siblings countless times when they don't want to do something they have to.

“Did you bring the sword or the scythe?”

“THE SCYTHE. IT FELT APPROPRIATE.”

“Damn. The sword is way cooler. Could I see it?”

Death pulls his scythe out and is met with the same oohs and aahs that one would expect from a child seeing a dinosaur for the first time.

“I KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING, CHILD.”

“Is it helping?”

“A LITTLE.”

The last grain of sand falls from the hourglass, and a blade sharper than anything is swung with perfect aim.

“I still think the sword would have been cooler.”

“HOW DO YOU FEEL?”

“I'm dead, Uncle.”

“YOUR FATHER IS GOING TO KILL ME.”

“No he won't. He knew full well that I was mortal. And it's not like it's your fault. You're just doing your job. You didn't kill me anymore than he did.”

“THIS IS WHY YOU HAVE ALWAYS BEEN MY FAVORITE.”

“Ha! I'm gonna tell Jay you said that.”

“PLEASE DO NOT. THAT ONE SCARES ME.”

“Jay scares everyone, calm down. And you’re their uncle too. Everyone knew this would happen at some point, I don’t know why you’re so worried.”

“CHILD, ARE YOU AWARE OF HOW MANY SUPERNATURAL BEINGS ARE GOING TO HUNT ME DOWN FOR THIS? THERE’S YOUR FATHER, THE LEGION -”

“You mean Eric.”

“YES, THE LEGION. JAY, EDREK, MINNIE -”

“I’m sorry, you think Minnie is going to hunt you down? Uncle, come on now, be serious.”

“I DO NOT LIKE TO UPSET THEM. IT MAKES ME FEEL BAD.”

“You and me both.”

“NOT TO MENTION THAT ARCHANGEL THAT IS SO FOND OF YOU.”

“Uncle, I know full well that you know Uriel’s name.”

“I HAVE NO DESIRE TO INVOKE THEIR NAME AND SUMMON THEM.”

“Fine. So, how does this work? I love you, but I don’t think that the afterlife is an endless gabfest with Death.”

“IT IS NOT. I AM SUPPOSED TO ESCORT YOU TO YOUR PLACE OF ETERNAL REST, EITHER HEAVEN OR HELL.”

“Okay, so which am I going to?”

“WELL -”

“That doesn’t sound good.”

“YOU HAVE SPENT YOUR LIFE IN A CONTRACT WITH LUCIFER.”

“He adopted me, I didn’t sell my soul to him. And I thought the rules were changed after all the shit with Enoch.”

“THAT DOES NOT MEAN THAT HEAVEN LOOKS UPON IT WITH MUCH MORE FAVOR.”

“Okay, well, I can deal with Hell. I haven’t kept up with all the updates Jesus has made in the past few decades, but I’m sure it can’t be too bad. It’s not like I’d be sent to one of the worse Hell Loops.”

“DO YOU WANT YOUR FATHER TO KILL ME? NO, I AM NOT GOING TO TAKE YOU TO HELL. I VALUE MY EXISTENCE FAR TOO MUCH FOR THAT.”

“Uncle, you’re not making any sense. I’m not welcome in Heaven, you’re not taking me to Hell, what else is there? Being a ghost? I don’t want that.”

“I COULD TAKE YOU TO HEAVEN. I DO NOT KNOW THAT THEY WOULD ACCEPT YOU. BUT WE CAN TRY.”

“Alright, we can try. Could I say goodbye to everyone first? If Heaven does accept me, I’d like to talk to Dad again first.”

“OF COURSE.”

A spectral hand holds a skeletal one, and the two of them vanish, off to say one last round of goodbyes.

My partner says the most trans coded things and every time I have to debate wether I should let him figure it out or tell them how much of an egg they sound like.

T4t in the sense that it just happens to me

All the articles talking about how the marvels had the lowest box office opening of any marvel movie conveniently forget to mention that it’s the ONLY marvel movie to come out in the midst of an actors strike and didn’t get any of the press that all the other movies would have gotten 🙃

I don’t know how this election is going to shake out but I personally think that it’s a long term mistake for the Dems to campaign on how “we actually agree with Rs and we’re welcoming these deeply unpopular people like the Cheneys into the fold but you should still vote for us because we’re better people” rather than campaigning on their very popular policies which have won them every midterm since Trump was elected, the presidency in 2020, and countless special elections

the pups went to a baby’s first bday party today and saw lots of people, kids, babies, dogs, and ducks. it was a good experience overall but i forgot how annoying regular people can be about just touching your dogs without permission.

at first getting diagnosed with cptsd was like, "yay my trauma has been validated (it always was valid)!" and i really thought that was going to be it, but then i started to do research as i do whenever i realize i have something and learned that!! the way i experience socialization is!! quite horrid actually!!
