thinking about how jason was disappointed by earth-51 bruce again. even though earth-51 was literally a utopia paradise all evil is dead the sun is shining the heroes are retired and living out happy lives. even though earth-51 bruce did exactly and precisely the act that jason wanted expected and needed his own bruce to do. earth-51 bruce killed the joker (with a gun!! good for him) and eradicated all evil and the world was demonstrably a better place for it.

and jason sees this bruce. this cold man who has shut everyone out. who is willing to prioritize winning over preserving human life. here he is jason. everything you've ever wanted. and jason reacts with disgust.

i think the most interesting thing about wild life so far is how textually, canonically, Explicitly Stated Within The Episodes And Therefore Admissible As Canon Lore, grian is in control of this one. like you can go around writing angst about the rest of the life series being The Watchers tormenting everyone but this time it's unambiguously grian responsible for the torment. he knows all the wild cards in advance because he designed them, and he has the power and authority to stop them in their tracks if he decides they've gone too far. i want fifteen fics about this on my desk by this evening.

I was reading a bunch of DPXDC stuff on here and AO3 with Ghost King Danny, and thinking about how people wrote when he spoke if it wasn’t hear-able to human ears or a different languages and that got me thinking - what would that sound like? Then my brain did some braining and thought - wouldn’t it be cool if it was just all languages overlapping? Like “Who goes there” in English, but at the same time every known and unknown language (or just the dead ones, since he *is* the Ghost King) at the exact same time with the translation. That would support the whole ‘super hard/impossible to translate’ because it could change every time depending on what languages or sounds are enunciated more.

Add in the fact that logically, the vast majority of gods would not just speak the language you know or maybe even the most commonly used, this kinda makes sense? Well, not really, but who cares. As a wise author once stated, “canon is a sandbox and I am the lightning which will shape it to glass” or smth like that. Also, anyone who dies instinctively knows how to understand the language(s) so they can understand their king (as Ghosts). So now I’m just imagining a situation like this (forgive me, I don’t know how to bold or italics or anything on tumblr I’m new-edit, some gracious soul taught me in the comments, may their pillow be the perfect temperature):

Constantine, furiously flipping through translations book after translation book of paranormal languages and not finding anything on God speak: “Bloody hell, where is it!”

Danny, who just got summoned by some cult/to save the world/for some other reason and has crazy social anxiety but needs some kind of ‘sacrifice’ to make the summoning legal or else do a bunch of paperwork, thinking: Can I just ask for a sacrifice? Would that be rude?

Danny, Awkwardly: “I need a sacrifice before I can leave. Just like a rock will do. I don’t like paperwork.”

Constantine, attempting to translate, gesturing vaguely and panicked as he continue to flip through book after book: “It’s saying that it needs a sacrifice in Kevlar**, something about a crystal, and Korea?*** I think it wants Black Bat as a sacrifice?

Jason, cackling: “How did you translate that so badly?”

**Sacrifice in Hmong is Kev txi

***Paperwork in Acoli is “Karatac”, also I know Cass is Chinese not Korean but for the sake of this Constantine does not and/or assumes that the Ghost King can’t tell

Or, Jason randomly discovering that he can understand any language now. Just not speak it.

In conclusion, I have now decided that whenever a god speaks it is representative of all those who have ever entered their domain or presence, and because mortals are not capable of understanding the complexities and beauties of language, they will never understand.

…crap, now I want to write a tragedy or essay or poem or something about the symbolism

TLDR: God language is just all languages overlapping at once, scenario, and author having a mental breakdown over ELA and this being much longer than expected

hahahaha aw man

I'm just gonna be real here - I don't care. I hold zero stock or even respect for anything said in the takeovers. I don't even watch them anymore. It's clear that they are written facetiously and I don't enjoy that type of writing; I vastly prefer something that is genuine and heartfelt. Not to mention the characters are not consistent to the games at all, because proper characterization is far from their list of priorities. So I treat it the way it wants to be treated - as a dumb joke that shouldn't be taken seriously.

Seeing how many people are upset, I think I have to emphasize that random videos made by the social media team are not canon. They're memes. Sonic saying Silver is like a little brother in some tiktok video does not affect me. Shipping is just for fun!

He looks at you like artistry. A contemporary piece he's never seen before. Taking in every detail with calculating eyes. Wondering what intentions the skillful hands of the cosmos had in mind when making you.

He wishes to know your story, the happiness that makes the music of your voice, the experiences settled in the sculpt of your frame, the tragedies brushed into the strokes of your irises.

The complexities of your being astound him, mesmerize him. Every new fact he learns about you adds another stanza to your sonnet.

To him, you are art in its purest form. Not one part can exist without the other. The greatest of symphonies would not be complete without their rests. He adores all of you.

How foolish he was at first, to think you were just a simple creature. Oh, the things he has taken for granted. When did he become so blind? Was it his Pride? Or had he simply been breathing for so long, that the sweet orchestra of life became dull to his ears? How long had it been since he stopped to watch people commune in the streets? Or sat a while to watch the trees sway from his window? Or pondered on the meaning of a wonderful word?

Excitement. How many centuries since he's felt like that? Filled with a rather humiliating child-like giddiness. But it's...invigorating. Everything stands out to him fresh, avant-garde. You remind him that there's still so much for him to discover.

A change in the wind, the turning of a page to a whole new chapter, a swelling crescendo, you are enticing. Every second spent with you leaves him craving more.

All he desires is to be in your presence. To see your colors. To hear your melody. To bask in the opus of your existence. It was only a matter of time before you would manage to become his everything, his obsession, his passion. And he wouldn't have it any other way.

For Lucifer is a connoisseur, and to him, you are nothing less than the crown of luxury.

"When Tim bolted out of the photo booth, I had no idea where he could have gone. Apparently he nearly got sick on someone's shoes before dipping out the back door. "I caught him smoking outside. (He's supposedly trying to quit, but I noticed he'd picked the habit back up again recently) I wanted to scold him about it, ask him what made him fall off the wagon, ask him what was wrong. "But when his head snapped up to glare at me... it sounds silly, but I don't know. It didn't even seem like it was Tim looking back at me. I just left him to it. He seemed like he needed the space."

The first month or so after getting cursed, things would be real rough for not only Tim, but Ratman as well.

When he first shows up, Ratman just sort of has a normal rat brain and doesn't realize how freakishly large he is. As time goes on though, he starts to soak up life experience and gain more human-ish consciousness (because he's got a human-ish brain mixed up in there), but at the beginning, he has regular rodent freak outs about loud sounds, weird smells, and as seen at this infamous New Year's party, flash photography.

He gets better about it eventually, but for the first little while, Tim has no idea what these sudden panic attacks are about. He'll find out soon enough though. :)

And for funsies, here's the 4 panels so you can flip through them like I like doing, haha.

I've seen some individuals say Eigong was obsessed with immortality from the beginning, and while I understand the reasoning behind it I think it really undermines her character. She's not...obsessed at the very start, as shown by this log:

She has a dream like any other individual, but it's colored by how many people are relying on her in this moment. Failure isn't an option, and we can see how that mindset is what carries her into accepting immortality with how she literally spends centuries trying to rectify her biggest mistake (Tianhuo).

It's also really painful, then, to see her breaking down and questioning why they were even researching immortality in the first place...she forgot what she was doing all those years ago. Hoagh...Eigong the woman you are [gunshot]

Hey, so this is going to be very out of character for me, but I need help finding sources that prove that Trump wanted to ban TikTok back in late 2019/early 2020. I can find news sources and Wikipedia articles saying as much, but I would really prefer if I could find like, a clip or something of him actually saying it.

Im not good at doing political research, I've never really looked into it all that much (a decision I really regret now) and now I need either tips on how to find what it is I want, or just clips of him mentioning this, or some other more 'trustworthy' source backing this stuff up.

Here are some screen shots from three different sources that I have linked below the cut.

Went back to re-watch the first few eps of Peaceful Property, and the more I watch, the more uneasy I get about Kan. Like. I want her to be part of the team! I don't think she's the main antagonist or anything -- the show's been indicating pretty clearly that that's Uncle Kid and by extension the family lawyer's part. But I can't figure her part out.

Kan volunteered to work with the family. She looked up information on Home before she first met him. She's looked into several cases of unlawful behaviour of Home's family. She's constantly stressed (frequently shown eating sugary things, which she tells Home will reduce stress). She is supremely, supremely unimpressed with Home, but most so when he showcases his unexamined rich boy privilege, and she looks annoyed to disappointed when the siblings -- especially PangPang -- let Home get away with those antics. But she was still surprised to the point of shock when she realised it had been Home, not Kid, who ran Peach over.

She's been looking into Peach and PangPang, too, to the extent that she lets slip that she knows what name PangPang used to go by.

She made a point of commenting that something mentioned by only one witness won't usually be admitted as fact in court. She is really insistent that the pain of having caused harm does in no way diminish the pain of having been harmed.

Her office is crammed full with boxes over boxes of what we gotta assume are case files, and it looks like a very cheap place -- not the type you'd expect to work for the family lawyer, or Home's family overall.

Which reminds me -- are we ever going to get more information on what went down in the restaurant from ep 5? The inspector talking to Uncle Kid on that recording called it a murder case, and there were case files presumably to that effect that Kan reclaimed. The way ep 5 resolved, it looks like it was most likely an unfortunate accident, but if so, why did Somkit need the case files disappeared?

Sure, they could've been talking about the accident that nearly killed Peach. But that was a different night from the restaurant death. A different restaurant case, maybe? I'm stumped. And I wonder where Kan fits into all this. She's got a goal, and it's apparently to bring Home's family to justice, but … urghgh.

Maybe auncle Pok will enlighten us when we meet them.

(I'm going on only what we've been shown in the show so far, I know the mock trailer had a couple of hints in other directions -- but I'm gonna disregard those for now because we all know how misleading gmmtv pilot trailers can be)
