#but people who aren’t into horror

[thehmn]

Sometimes you have an idea for a story that makes you think “….That can’t be right. I’m not that fucked in the head, am I?”

Great googley moogley it’s all going to shit! Every day becomes exponentially more terrifying!

And all perfectly timed to just right at the start of what’s supposed to be my adult life where I get my shit together and be useful and productive!

if spooky season has a million haters, then I am one of them. If spooky season has ten haters, then I am one of them. If spooky season has only one hater then that is me. If spooky season has no haters, then that means I am no longer on earth. If the world is for spooky season, then I am against the world.

If that is what you got from me making a post where I joke about how actual society off of the Internet isn’t going to crucify me or harass me for enjoying something perceived weird, and thinking differently than the average person, all while staying in my own lane (and this isn’t even talking about me expressing that a lot of this is - probably - because of autism meaning my brain is LITERALLY WIRED DIFFERENTLY BUT THATS OKAY) I genuinely question your compassion for people who are different than you.

Like.

I honestly do worry how you handle meeting someone who’s just a bit different than you. You must be someone who immediately bullies someone you think is weird, even if they have done nothing to you except have fun.

Vivienne when she finds out her “best friend” since high school was actually fused with a demon this whole time, and all of the killings in her city were done by them for the sake of survival because they are doomed to eat human flesh until the day they die: DAMN SHAWTY OK‼️‼️‼️😍🩷

Enough beating around the bush, Paintball AKA Delta, is a Inkling who has a niche condition, in which is he ALWAYS has the passive ability to go into their kraken form. How this is possible? Why do they look pretty abnormal when compared to other Inkfish?!

The ability for a Inkfish to transform into their kraken form is a genetic leftover from their more primitive ancestors, right before their species started to evolve into the more human-like form they can take/having a more human-like society. The kraken form WAS essentially their species’ equivalent of the human “Fight-or-Flight” acute stress response, although it is more geared towards fighting than fleeing.

As the Inkfish species further evolved to their more modern state, the ability to turn into their kraken form has been gradually lost. The only real way for anyone to transform into it in the current day, is to use the artificial Special Weapon version of it. Any Main Weapon that has the kraken Special Weapon inserted into it, can release a cocktail of artificial pheromones into the weapon’s user (usually through a very small air vent on the weapon’s handle, where the pheromones are housed and are sprayed intensely into the user’s hand, when the special is ready) that automatically triggers the very dormant kraken transformation response.

Most inkfish cannot access their kraken form without the use of the Special Weapon, which is only used across very few ‘legal’ in-play Main Weapons, and thus most Inkfish haven’t even experienced how it feels OR knows this incredibly dormant biological phenomenon exists.

However, some modern-day Inkfish are still born with the latent ability to transform into their kraken form, either on-command OR accidentally. This is why they’re considered to be always passively in their kraken form, as they can seamlessly transform WITHOUT the need of using the Special Weapon version of it, which is officially seen to be a forced artificial transformation of it.

Any Inkfish who has this ability is considered to have a incredibly rare birth defect, although it isn’t severe or harmful enough that it doesn’t mentally or physically impair the person. Still, ‘natural kraken’ Inkfish are suggested to take various kinds of medication, to help suppress this latent ability if they are disturbed by it.

Delta is one of these Inkfish who has this condition, which can be visually seen thanks to some slight physical traits that all ‘natural born kraken’ Inkfish have. These traits are usually elongated fangs in the person’s beak, pointier fingertips, small teeth that are inside the suckers in their tentacles, and darker ink splotches that appear on the skin on person’s entire backside, which are very similar to the splotches and patterns that appear on the kraken form’s head. Their tentacles are noticeably larger in their swim form, with darker ink blotches at the tips as well. In regards overall physique, these Inkfish always tend to have more defined muscle mass and are much taller than other Inkfish (where the average is around 5’0 ft), usually around 6’0-7’0 instead, which makes it much more easier for them to be spotted in a crowd.

Probably the LARGEST difference between Inkfish who cannot naturally transform into their kraken form VS those who can, is that ‘natural kraken’ Inkfish who transform into their kraken forms are much, MUCH LARGER, and appear to be more ‘pointier’ at the head and tentacles, and seem to be more….. terrifying.

Delta unfortunately seems to have elongated fangs that are even more longer than usual, to the point where their mouth has to be constantly agape, so their fangs don’t puncture through their own lips. His lower fang has been (painfully) filed down so he can at least close his beak, without constant scraping the top of his mouth. His darker ink blotches run from all the way down their back, to the backside of their arms until the wrist, and to the backside of their legs until the ankle.

Delta is very, VERY afraid of his latent ability to transform, and is genuinely disgusted by his appearance. They constantly wear gear that covers up most of their body, hiding their face, arms, and legs especially. Considering that they’re a Salmon Runner, they take comfort in wearing Slopsuits since it does obscure most of their skin. Since they’ve been a Profreshional for ages (well, what they think has been ages…..) they managed to actually get a good word to their boss, and is allowed to wear his favorite non-business uniform headgear during his shifts.

Usually they’re seen wearing their favorite Paintball Mask, but they have also been seen to be wearing the Motocross Nose Guard or the Dust Blocker 2000 as well. Maybe if he’s feeling kinda silly, he’ll wear their Squinja Mask Mk I or Welding Mask instead!

Still, he very much stays on top of taking his medications to suppress this latent ability, especially when asked by Low-Vis, Aux Box, and Yamagiri (Reject, Spare, and Haze, respectively) to join up with them when they’re doing some Turf or Anarchy matches. He is notorious for using the Krak-On roller and NOT activating the Special Weapon on it, as he specifically got his roller to have the pheromone spraying vents on it’s handle to be fully gutted and removed. They only main that weapon for the fact that it comes with Beacons as a Sub Weapon, and he plays a more passive support/slayer role in matches. (Running Ninja Squid on his gear is VERY important, as his bulking physique can easily pop out of his team’s ink, even though he’s in swim form lol)

The way I was already comparing the new faces to death to Megan is missing and then just read an article saying it could go that route…. Lmfao my mind

ask any country that’s been/is under a dictator and they’ll tell you why censorship never fucking ends at “just the bad stuff”.

Ao3 is actually massively culturally important and very very good at being what it is. I’m so serious when I say that ao3 needs to be protected as the anti censorship, by fans for fans, nonprofit, volunteer run, expertly designed archival site that it is. You don’t have to read or like fanfiction to understand that on principle, ao3 is a site that should be defended.

I have an interview tomorrow for an English teaching position at a jr high and my mom was like “ohh you should take your graduate thesis and give it to them as an example of your writing”.

I looked at her and was like “you mean my paper that was about Stephen King’s Carrie and the film adaptation? The 45 page paper where I spend at least 10 pages talking about Carrie’s period? That paper? For a junior high teaching position interview.”

My mom: “…well just an example of your writing, yknow…?”

Cue me spending a good hour today trying to recall anything I wrote in the last 4 years that’s not about horror…

i think it’s a pretty common headcanon that whenever there is a spider, annabeth freaks the fuck out. which is super weird to most people, because she’s like… the bravest person ever. even if you don’t know she’s a demigod, she’s just a badass. but if there’s a spider, she’s screaming bloody murder and jumping up on tables and counters. and of course, percy always comes and kills it for her. no matter what he’s doing or where he is.

but i think what would be even weirder for people (who don’t know her extremely well) is how seriously percy takes it. i feel like girls being scared of spiders and having their male partners come kill it is such a basic ‘weak white girl’ stereotype. and it usually is funny, even to the one who’s scared. so when annabeth does this and starts screaming for percy, people would start laughing. naturally, right? haha it’s so funny that annabeth chase is so scared of bugs. and after percy runs in and takes care of it, they would expect him to be laughing too and poke fun at her.

except it’s the exact opposite. there’s nothing funny about his expression. his jaw is hard-set and his sea green eyes are full of nothing but concern. he does a thorough examination of the surrounding area, makes absolutely sure there aren’t others and gets rid of any webs, and then goes straight to her. and his first question, every single time, is “you okay?” nothing but concern and support. and if the legendary fearless annabeth chase needs her boyfriend/husband to carry her across the room, because she doesn’t want to step on the rug now, you know dam well he’s gonna carry her across the room without a second thought. and you’d better not laugh at her, or else percy’s gonna give you the most scolding glare you’ve ever received, and it’s gonna make your arm/neck hairs stick straight up and your blood turn to ice.

and it would take people off guard every single time. because he’s not laughing at her. he takes her fear completely seriously. and it’s because he knows about her past. he’s seen her face her worst horrors. he knows what happened with arachne.

he knows exactly why she’s so scared of spiders, and to him, there’s nothing funny about it.
