IM HAVING A MOMENT THIS MAY BE A STRETCH BUT HEAR ME OUT

ok I’m relistening (again) and in episode 3 the auctioneer that starts taking bids for the simulacrum

Alex doesnt describe him very well but here it is

“…a gentleman in sort of a peacock waistcoat, very posh, well to-do, chin up, steps out on the stage goes over to the lectern..”

IS THAT OSCAR FUCKING WILDE

[buthappysoverrated]

Okay I’m not vagueing anyone I’m just glad I never say any of my hot takes online and just don’t interact with people

But also I thought when people say they’re not here for fandom drama then they’re not? And people can just have different opinions and not, idk, declare war? Anyways I’m going back to my revising fandom discourse is much less interesting than my major

More Cursed Gus AU

For other posts about this AU 

Details about the immediate aftermath of the curse and how Gus communicates:

When Gus finally gets home after the election, he hasn’t realized that the curse works through his words. When his dad gets home, he starts to explain what happened, but stops when he sees the look on Perry’s face.

Because of the curse, Perry hears Gus telling him that he’s a horrible father, and that he should’ve died instead of Mrs. Porter. (For the purposes of this AU, Mr. Porter is a single father, tragically widowed when his wife fell ill a few years ago.)

Keep in mind that for Perry, Gus just limped in the door. He’s dirty and disheveled from being chased through the woods, probably bruised and a bit bloodied in some places, and now he’s saying that he hates Perry. Yeah. It hurts.

Perry breaks down and starts to cry.

Gus realizes then that something is changing his words, and making it so that they hurt others. That’s when he vows to never speak again. Instead, he uses illusion magic to write in the air, and explain the situation.

Over the next week or two, Perry brings Gus to a few different healers. They’re able to figure out the curse is coming from the ring, but they can’t remove the ring, and the curse is too powerful for them to do anything to help.

Initially, Gus only communicates with his illusions, but it’s tiring to constantly cast illusions whenever he wants to talk. In addition, it depends a lot on how fast the person he’s talking to can read, and they have to tell him when they’re done reading somehow.

As a result, he doesn’t really ‘talk’ unless he has to. He gets really lonely, since he was used to having a bunch of friends to talk to, both in his old school and before the curse.

He sits with Willow at lunch. Although her first few attempts at conversation fail, Willow can see how sad he is, and the glances he occasionally shoots at his old friends. She finally succeeds in starting a conversation by writing what she wants to say on a piece of paper and sliding it to him. Since they’re both writing, it feels more equal, more normal to him.

In his spare time, Perry researches ways to help Gus. He comes across a language used by a small colony of demons in the foot of the isle that relies solely on hand signs and facial expressions instead of words.

He and Gus learn it so they can talk easier at home, and then Gus teaches it to Willow. He still has to use illusion writing to talk to other people, but now he can communicate with Perry and Willow a lot easier.

virginia was a pureblood witch who attended hogwarts together with her twin vincent during tom riddle’s attendance, both being sorted into slytherin as well. her brother quickly became part of tom’s friend group and virginia was drawn to him herself. always being the quieter of the two, it was no surprise that virginia prefered to hide in the shadows. most of her time was spend studying dark magic, having an inherent interest in the subject since she was a mere child. tom took notice of this and asked her to teach him. she agreed and became good friends with the boy, spending most of her time with him. feelings developed but were never acted upon. despite virginia’s interest in dark magic, she never considered using it against those who were innocent and appreciated it more for the theoretical aspect. she never expected tom to use it to gain power for himself. when the basilisk was set loose, virginia only realised it was tom when she saw him command the snake to kill myrtle. tom noticed her presence and to make sure she wouldn’t report him or try to stop him, he used a curse on her that they had designed together. a curse to turn your victim to stone. he couldn’t kill her, not truly... he cared too much for her to let himself end her life. virginia remained a statue in one of the hallways for many years to come and was only released from her curse in 1996 when a blast of magic from two opposing sides hit her.

[ask-pakistan]

Hello there!!

I know it’s weird for me to make a text post like this but i wanted to ask you guys something, the people who have decided to follow my blog. I wanted to ask you, what do you think about my blog so far? Have i managed to make people learn more about Pakistan? What do you think about my personification of him and was i successful regarding people knowing Pakistan for what it is (as opposed to the harmful stereotypes that Pakistani people were reduced to) ?

I’d like to listen it from you guys, was my effort successful in making you guys more aware of my country and its people? :)

I think we’ve suffered a lot from a bad reputation, so did it change your perception of Pakistan in any way?

facexfice said: “Why can’t we just talk about it —” (From Xiang)

@facexfice​​

Sharp exhale slipped out as a sigh from Ninnguang’s lips. Xiangling had not always seen the LESS RECEPTIVE side of the Tianquan, but it existed -- And it was ABOUT DAMN TIME. “Because what you want to talk about Xiangling was a mistake -- An ERROR in my JUDGMENT. One I don’t intend on making again.” PROJECTION at its finest. What happened that night was temporal -- A DISTRACTION. It took Ningguang a step away from her goals -- Shifted her focus in ways that in the name of Rex Lapis, FRIGHTENED HER. No King, God or Legend had EVER been born from such fruitless activities. She should’ve spent that time, that... NIGHT, better. MORE PRODUCTIVELY. Profit didn’t make itself. And one could not REAP that which they had failed to SOW. Not to mention she’d missed the first development meeting for the renewal of the Jade Chamber. “Why do even WANT to talk about it, Xiangling?” Why was Ningguang even giving her the OPPORTUNITY? “Wouldn’t you rather be cooking right now?”

me: why do I still pay attention to any drama about shipping when I could just ignore it and be at peace

me also: outlining my sociological case study of star wars shippers in my head

“Oh, also, when I say that I only play Poker for fun and not money, people sometimes assume I mean that I’m worried about losing a lot...

“That is a very important consideration to make, and surely part of it.

“But honestly? Taking a lot of someone else’s money just makes me feel really guilty. Especially since I don’t need it. I think if I did that, I would probably just give it all back to them after the game was over anyway.”

Rachel smiled and simply pulled up her feet before shuffling back and behind Helena. “AS YOU WISH...” With that UNDEFT HANDS proceeded to press GENTLY into Helena’s spine before HESITATING for just a second. “Umm... This might suck by the way. I’ve...” Bite of her lip and a NERVOUS LITTLE LEAP in her chest. “Never done this before...” But she was a PERFECTIONIST. She’d learn QUICK. With that her hands went to work and it took A FEW FULL MINUTES before it even dawned on her... That Helena... hadn’t technically COMMANDED HER to give her a back rub. And while, yes, the SUBCONSCIOUS OBEDIENCE of Rachel Barbra Berry spoke HEAVILY of how deep their SUB-DOM relationship went. The young starlet still found herself thinking about SOMETHING ELSE. That her efforts here perhaps weren’t ENTIRELY born from her SUBMISSIVE PRECOGNITION. But may also have been birthed from a place of FRIENDSHIP or... more likely... SOMETHING MORE... She kept those musings to HERSELF... FOR NOW... And continued her efforts. (For fear that those feelings were HERS & HERS ALONE -- And because this raised questions of what the future held for HERSELF & FINN HUDSON.) “How’s that?” She asked -- Nerves CONSPICUOUS in the SIMPLISTIC WITHDRAWAL of her verbiage. She NEEDED to get this RIGHT.

          So, you want to summon a demon, do you? Do you want to see your greatest desires, your wildest dreams, your ultimate goals in life instantly fulfilled, with little to no effort on your part? It’s easier than you might think, though it comes at a heavy cost...

          If you said yes to any of the above, then the demon you’re looking for is a crossroads demon, lesser known as a contract demon. And a contract demon can be summoned to your doorstep in a number of different ways.

          Of course, there’s always the tried-and-true classic of going down to a dirt crossroads in the dead of night, but in order for your summoning to be deemed a success, you have to bring the right calling card for them to come knocking. Altogether, you will need to collect a very specific set of items:

deadman’s ashes, supplemented with freshly dug graveyard dirt.

the horn of a manx loaghtan goat.

a picture of whomever is performing the summons.

and to top it all off, a few drops of their blood.

          Place these items together neatly in a wooden box and bury it at the center of a crossroads, preferably at the height of a full moon. This summons can be performed at any time of night, but a full moon inherently distills more magic out into the natural world and thus will ensure a much faster response for your troubles. Typically, you will only need to bring together these unique items for your first summons, to call the demon to your side and negotiate terms. If the demon actually accepts your proposal, then they may give you a more lucrative means through which to contact them with any future concerns, namely a business card with a secure phone number or even an e-mail address. These demons are primarily surface dwellers, many of which lead double lives functioning among human society, so in recent history they’ve been forced to adapt to current technologies and methods of communication.

          And there you have it! This summons can also be performed at the fork or the mouth of a river, by tossing a box with the same ingredients headlong into the water. After that, your closest crossroads demon representative will contact you at their earliest convenience - to bargain for your soul.
