#did nobody even notice that he literally knows how to use a gun

[miwiromantics]

Sad that ppl be like this. Wtf did Will do to y’all?

[midnightbasil]

Imagine you’re in an isekai to One Piece…the Straw Hats take you in and everything seems like the perfect adventure until….

You realize it’s 4Kids One Piece.

You stare out at the sea wondering why the water looks so…wrong.

You keep arguing with Luffy about his attack names. “But Luffyyyy, Gum-Gum Pistol would just sound so much cooler”

Zolo keeps getting confused/pissed you call him Zoro. (Or Mr. Sabat 😏) If he ever pisses you off you just make chicken noises at him

You start to lose all fear of guns. They’re just green water guns, right? And why are everyone’s swords so short?

You’re begging Sanji for a drink and smoke, but all he gives you is orange juice & lollipops.

It might be from you telling him to never quit his day job and become a voice actor…

You can’t help calling out Usopp on lying about the Log Pose, but he insists his dad left him the Grand Compass. It’s an argument you’ll never win even when you know you’re right.

You only address Robin as partner, or little lady with your best southern drawl until you notice a hand around your neck

The crew takes bets on how long it’ll take you to get arrested since you keep back talking the Navy on how “they’re not good enough to be called Marines…”

Mihawk stabs you on sight because you keep laughing and can’t take him seriously.

Hell, Shanks is just as bad. He might just not stab you for it but. But after you say “Blimey ya bloody pirate!” to him a dozen times he’s thinking about it.

I can’t even imagine if you’re there between the two of them. I wouldn’t be able to breathe.

You keep following Nami around with bug spray and flu medicine. It’s really starting to annoy her and she doesn’t understand what your deal is.

All you want is to buy clothing with some text/kanji on it, or know what a building is before you , but you sure as hell won’t fine anything in Loge Rouge Town…

Captain Chaser damn near arrests you on the spot when you offer him a cigar and say: “Hey there big fella, you’d be a lot cooler if you were a…smoker.”

When you offer one to Crocodile though he’s either going to kill you or fall in love with you. How main character energy lucky are ya feeling?

✨Protagonists are protected from plot holes in Isekais, right?✨

That’s why nobody blinked when you slapped Vivi across the face when she said with her whole chest “Zolo has the compass, he’ll keep us on course” It’s not your fault okay, it was a reflex reaction to hearing the most stupid phrase ever uttered.

Brook keeps talking about Laboon, but nobody seems to know what the hell he’s on about. You make up some shit about them being so scared of the ice berg that’s why they don’t remember.

You offer Dr. Kureha some pickled plums and Chopper just stares at you…

And just because I can’t resist…

The literal second you get the chance you sharpie “ASCE” on Trace’s arm. He’s so confused when he wakes up. You grip his shoulders with all your might and look him dead in his eyes:

Maybe it was the Rainbow Mist that made everything feel off, because one day you wake up and everything seems…better. At the end of the day, you’re just glad they couldn’t get their hands on Law…

I could go on, there’s obvi more wack stuff 4Kids did. (Like unforgivably cutting Dan Green from being the narrator!!!)

But these are my favorites/what stood out most to me. If I forgot something reblog this and add it on!

Three's A Crowd (Stucky x Reader)

Nobody at the Avengers compound knew about you, Steve, and Bucky. In fact, not even Bucky and Steve knew you were seeing them both. To be fair, you started your…situationship with them both on the terms that it wasn’t just them you were seeing, and that you weren’t ready to commit to a relationship yet.

It’s just that neither of them knew who was the other you were referring to. Or so you thought.

The night started like any other, you were in your sweats and a tank (your usual pajamas) in the kitchen making a bowl of ice cream for yourself. You added some whipped cream to your dessert and nearly jumped out of your sweatpants when a pair of hands met you from behind.

“How’s it going babygirl?” Bucky teased you, taking your spoon and eating some of your ice cream.

You jokingly scoffed, taking the spoon back. “Get your own ice cream, Buck.”

“What’s this I hear about ice cream?” Someone called, and that’s when the smile on your face was wiped clean off.

Steve entered the room, joyfully at first, until he made sight of Bucky’s hands around your waist. His eyes turned dark and he looked at Bucky, who just smirked back.

“So…” He started. “This is who you’ve been seeing.”

You pulled yourself out of Bucky’s arms. “I can explain-”

“No need.” Bucky interrupted. “We’ll be in my room.”

And with that note Bucky walked away from you and towards Steve, giving him a painstakingly long kiss before dragging him off and away from the kitchen.

The whole event shocked you so much you didn’t even notice you’d been making an “o” face, AND had dropped your spoon on the floor.

Your mind was swimming with questions, and without even thinking about your ice cream you left it behind, practically running to Bucky’s room.

“What’s going on?” You demanded as you entered, walking in on Steve and Bucky in a beautifully posed make out session.

Bucky had a small smile and Steve smirked at you.

“What do you mean, beautiful?” Steve asked.

You stammered as you came up with what to say next, the “guns blazing” technique not working to the best of its abilities. “Did you both know this whole time? Were you playing some weird twisted game on me? Are you two dating? Literally Steve, tell me, what’s going on?”

“Well,” Bucky spoke first, sitting up. He caused the blanket to shift down, making you just now realize they were both shirtless. “We kinda figured it out ourselves from the beginning–you weren't being very slick. Thought confronting you about it should come organically.”

Steve added to his comments. “Plus, we'd always been seeing each other. Hard to believe you hadn't noticed.”

“We thought you were just teasing us–” Bucky continued. “...turns out you're just a little lacking in observation.”

It was like a quick montage of moments between both Steve and Bucky flashed before your eyes. The wistful glances, the long touches, the soft smiles.

“Oh.” You were shocked by your own obliviousness. Had it really been that obvious? “I…I uh…I'm sorry.”

“What're you apologizing for beautiful?” Steve cocked his head to the side, almost daring you to look at the hickeys Bucky had clearly left behind.

You looked down at the ground, blush rising to your ears. “I shouldn't have been messing with you guys if you're a couple. I should've realized sooner.”

“Don't be stupid.” Bucky quipped. “You think either of us would have gotten with you if we didn't want to?”

“I…I don't understand.”

Bucky rolled his eyes. “We want you to join us. Be with us. Romantically.”

Steve rushed to add more. “You don't have to say yes if you don't want to. Don't feel pressured. But just know that the option is out there.”

You took a deep breath. “Yea I…I think I'd like that.”

the scriddler nation doesn't appreciate Riddler 2022 as I do so I'm here to make you love him

He's one of the best interpretations of Riddler and here is WHY.

“he's a desyassified version,” “he doesn't wear expensive suits full of question marks,” “that suit was boring” NO!!!!! IT WAS THE PERFECT SUIT FOR HIM TO START!!! He literally comes from the lowest point, and he talks about how the men in power and corruption keep the low income/poor people at the bottom. Ofc he can't afford those shiny beautiful suits because he doesn't have money for it. Also the military suit was GREAT. He paint it and designed his own symbol which is amazing, a gun sight with a "?" in the center.

Also, he fights againts corruption and classism? 😭 Why would ppl hate that? He fights for the people that were forgotten like him.

“it's not the same story of his father and blah blah blah” ok, they changed his origin story A LOT, and I can get why you get mad at it. I also get mad when I am used to the southern granny Scarecrow story and ppl change it to the story of his father experimenting of him- BUT regarding the Riddler's origin story, it is so so great. Eddie HATES LIES AS WELL, HATES CHEATING, because ppl used to tell him that he could have a better future, and gave him fake hopes. He just wanted an opportunity to be better and when that promise of renewal broke, he broke, too.

He grew wanting to please everyone, be a good boy for the nuns and the other children at the orphanage, even if he didnt agree in somethings or if it was difficult for him to act "normal" (masking his autism- we will talk about that soon), but NOBODY thanked or pleased him. As he got older, he still followed orders from his corrupt boss and the goverment. But what did they do for him? NOTHING. And when he does something for himself ppl tag him as self-centered.

He became the Riddler for the others that also needed help, not only because of him, and ppl still think he's selfish.

He's implied to be autistic (you can notice this more in the comics of Riddler: Year One by Paul Dano), he is non-verbal since kid (canon), as an adult ppl say he doesn't talk and call him weird. He doesn't know how to interact with people in a "normal" way. He also seems to vocally stim with riddles and weird silly noises that you can hear in the movie.

The catholic guilt content? PLEASEEEE. We need to take advantage of that. He even did a catholic reference riddle!!! (That one of the sins of the father)

We can also see that topic of him dont knowing if he's insane or not, (or denying being it). He knows his situation is not good, and HE TRIES to be better, listening to podcast about mindfulness and stay positive- but at the end, everything gets worse to him. He's very smart and is afraid that his biggest and greatest thing about himself (his mind) is also the worst thing and can turn againts himself because of a mental illness. We saw it in the movie when Batman calls him "sick and twisted, etc etc," and he has a mental breakdown. Yes, that scene is DEEPER than you think. His mother died in Arkham when he was in the orphanage as a kid, now imagine that the guy you always admired says to you, “you're gonna die alone at Arkham” just like his mother did and no one cared. He doesn't want that, he wants to be remembered. He doesn't want to end up like his mother- alone and mentally ill.

He makes funny jokes in the movie! He's so goofy!!!!

AND CAN WE TALK ABOUT HIM BEING A BIG BOY?!!!! CHUBBY RIDDLER SUPREMACY!!!!!

And please he has the same bad habits as Arkhamverse Riddler, you cannot hate this version of him if you love Arkham Knight Riddler. He doesn't sleep well because he plays the DETECTIVE role (YES! HE ALSO GOES THERE AND INVESTIGATES- or else how tf would he have evidence of all the corruption and know all that information?) and claims that Einstein only took naps. He doesnt eat well. His lastname is Nashton (a reminder that is canon that Arkhamverse Riddler had the same lastname before changing it to Nygma). And in this page called "nigma. org" is well known and ppl call him a genius, which suggests that we will soon see how he calls himself E. Nygma.

And yes, he is also a little bastard insufferable, and if you dont think so, then I guess we didnt watch the same movie.

THERE'S SO MUCH MORE OF HIM BEING ONE OF THE BEST ONES!!! but i'll end it up here, thank you for your attention.

[egg-emperor]

Is it just me or is eggman kinda chill woth amy? I was playing frontiers as amy, when i noticed that all the dialogue between her and eggman is kinda chill, especially when compared to the other characters.

Plus, then there's his egglog about her, where he's kinda, sort of proud of her? I dont think pride is the right term for it, but its the best i can use to describe it.

I mean sure, he did hold a gun to her head at one point, but it feels less out of malice, and more useing her as a bargening chip. Which ultimetly, he would do to any character regardless if it benefited him. Even sage if pushed to it.

Im not too framilar with sonic games though, so i could be wrong about this, but thats the general vibe ive got from them. Deffinetly not freinds, but not as at eachothers throats as i thought they'd be.

Im curiouse to hear your take on this though, since you seem very knowledgable on eggman lol.

Eggman does have an interesting attitude towards Amy in Frontiers. There's definitely been development in the way he feels about her over time, the most significant aspect being he's literally even thinking about her as her own person at all- with his own admission that he used to just see her merely as a pawn to ensnare Sonic in the memo

However now he's seeing her as her own person and calling her clever and tenacious, so clearly something changed. It seems she's proven herself to be more than that in his eyes, likely as he's seen/heard more of her doing things on her own and showing her strengths, independence and determination to work towards her goals

But also not without him saying that he feles she had trouble finding herself, so it seems he thought nothing more of her than just being a pawn to use as bait for Sonic to come along and thought of her as an obsessed fan who's life completely revolved around Sonic. So now she seems more than that to him, he feels it's something to commend her for

He's glad her life doesn't seem to completely revolve around his loathsome arch nemesis lol. It's funny how he says Sonic has an ego too, he's the exact type of guy to groan about someone having an ego or accusing them of such even when they don't because nobody should have an ego or even anywhere near as much as regular confidence like him XD

He's never really seemed that antagonistic towards Amy herself beyond the times he's kidnapped her and that was only with luring Sonic in in mind. He hasn't insulted her in the same ways/as often as with most of the other characters beyond calling her "that kid" condescendingly in Adventure and I think that says a lot about how he used to feel too

He probably saw her as just a little fan girl that wasn't any serious threat for a while and was just a pawn to lure in the ones he was actually interested in fighting so he didn't put that energy into it. However like all the rest, if she causes him trouble and gets in the way he will absolutely become immediately hostile and violent towards them, of course

But it's like he never really considered her an adversary and really just another common enemy just for being on Sonic's side. He couldn't see an identity in her besides chasing after Sonic, just like how he looks down on Tails living in Sonic's shadow. In his eyes nobody should center their lives around Sonic regardless of how true that is lol

Because be probably thought lowly of her in that sense but otherwise just didn't really think of her at all besides that, it probably made it easier to respect any accomplishment she made. When she proves herself to be a worthy opponent he will praise that, we know he's even willing to give credit where it's due with Sonic and Tails too

He seems to like to recognize and commend his enemies on their skills and I feel it's because praising them for their skill and strengths proves his own for being able to hold up against them in battle. Because if they have respectable skills and strengths, what does that say about him for being their absolute biggest recurring threat?

He praises both Sonic and Amy for their tenacity, which is something he of course has a limitless amount of himself, which supports that. Also for the cleverness he praises in Amy. It's like he can see himself in them in a sense and with that it makes even more sense, praising them praises himself, it makes him even more tenacious to be so in the face of their own tenacity

With that it makes sense he projects having an ego onto Sonic too lol. He has confidence but not in the immense egotistical way Eggman does- but because he doesn't believe Sonic's confidence is anywhere near as deserved as his own with the most inflated ego in the world, he thinks anyone else being confident in themselves is egotistical :P He's glad Amy isn't fuelling it

But yeah he's come a long way from thinking a bunch of Sonic's friends were just insignificant common enemies. He'll always become directly hostile the second they directly cause him problems/significantly aid Sonic in doing so but besides that he didn't think much of them, either lowly or not much at all. In Amy's case especially he seemed to hardly see her as enemy but now she's proven herself to be a worthy opponent now that he can see that she's her own person

He's not one to downplay their skills- well except for when he's trying to knock down their confidence in battle lol- when he recognizes them for how they can prove his own. They give him a challenge and he can prove himself and his own strengths even in his failures for still being able to hold up against them and the way that he still manages to keep coming back to try again, also proving his tenacity

In the Egg Memos, it seems he's thought deeper about all of Team Sonic as individuals, who they are, and what they can do rather than just being Sonic's insignificant friends over time. He shares little thoughts on Amy, Knuckles, and Tails in the memos like Sonic in the actual cutscenes. But it's interesting how it seems he has the least bad to say about Amy while he's at it

Their convos in Final Horizon with Amy do seem to be some of the most chill. Eggman acts passively annoyed at being approaching like "what do you want, if you're looking for Sonic he's not here" still acting like her life does revolve around Sonic to her face despite the contrary of what he says about her finding herself in the memos lol, and Amy saying things he doesn't like and sassing him and him getting defensive and correcting her which is funny

But there's not the same immediate hostility between them than say, Sonic and Knuckles. And he seems willing to discuss his knowledge with her, I mean he loves showing it off to all of them but something feels a bit different in his way of going about it, seems a little less condescending than with some of the other characters. They're more casual despite still bickering a bit but they can tolerate each other to get the job done

Eggman isn't the type to hold back on anyone if they get in his way though, so he immediately becomes extremely hostile and violent if she gets in his way, like when she interferes in SA2 and he tries to deal with her and Tails jumps in to save her. He was also willing to kill her the times he kidnapped her, with the way he says if she values her life she'll do as he says when he held her hostage with the gun to her head and threatened that "she WILL die" in Crazy Gadget in SA2

So there's definitely malice towards her in certain situations but yeah when he kidnaps her it's mostly just him seeing her as a pawn to get what he's really after with Sonic, rather than specifically as an enemy to take down, aside from when she specifically gets in his way. But he also seems to think more highly of her as a worthy opponent now, which could potentially lead to that actually changing and he sees her as more of a formidable adversary to fight! I'm interested to see where it goes

DPS BOYS AND WHO THEY MAIN IN MARVEL RIVALS!!!

(Note: this is for the funsies and bcs my brain wants to merge my two current hyperfixations teehee do NOT take this seriously)

Todd = Mantis

I have no reason for this other than it just feels right

Soft spoken boy mains the cheerful empathetic alien that heals and buffs the team ofc

I also feel like it kinda helps with his anxiety?

Like, Todd has bad social anxiety, and Mantis is an empath that's literally her power, so I feel like in a sense Todd could relate to that

But anyways he's a BEAST while playing Mantis

Oh he’d be supporting your team alright, he's supporting it by killing the other team

Headshots all around and he knows how to properly use Mantis’ self buff ability and would not let it go to waste

But then he'd be like “oh sorry do you need heals come here pls don't be mad 😥”

Neil = Starlord

Theatrics. Need I say more?

Loves to shout “LEGENDAAARRRYYY!!” when using ult

No thoughts, just gun go pew pew

Contrary to Todd, he's shit at aiming

Most of his kills come from his AoE move and his burst

He absolutely loves doing Starlord’s dodge ability

Todd heals him more than the others bcs why not

Father issues :)

Charlie = Spider-Man

Swings around the map and is generally just a nuisance and a menace

Would be the type of Spider-Man player that I hate bro STOP TARGETING ME ISTG

Would solo ult just to spite you

“Bro where's my heals healer diff” he says as he's across the map and far away from where healers could get to him

When I catch you istg... It's on sight…

But he will protect the supports completely if needed, always looking out for the little guys like he did to Todd in the movie

Jokes around constantly

Meeks = Doctor Strange

Very calculated

The portals he places are always so conveniently positioned

Always in the front line

You bet your ass he memorized every health pack location

Does not get kills

He tried the portal in front of the enemy spawn trick, it worked once, and now he always tries it

It doesn't always work

Unironically does the anime glasses thing no you cannot change my mind

Cameron = Loki

Snarks his teammates every chance he gets

You never see bro in major fights because he always dips and is always overlooked

Drops his clones and calls it a day

“MF GET IN THE HEALING ZONE ISTG”

Nobody listens to him

Loki’s ult being able to copy anyone he wanted says a lot about Cameron’s personality

Always gets called a villain when sometimes he's not, and every small good thing he does, nobody even notices

Pitts = Groot

Get it? ‘Cause Pitts is tall and trees are tall and Groot is a tree— okay I'll stop

He's so awkward so endearing

Places down walls like it's Fortnite

If the match is a domination match, then those walls are so useful

Loves it when Jeff or Rocket climbs on his shoulder bcs it's so wholesome :DD

Knox = Cloak and Dagger

He finds the two lovers so sweet

Resident lover boy mains one of the best Marvel relationships

Yearns for that type of connection

Maybe not in the literal sense tho lol

He's actually a pretty good supporter, but people think he's a gooner because he plays Cloak and Dagger

A Gunslinger & A Conman

Chapter 1: Arrival

TW: Memories of suicide, descriptions of gore/morbidity

Word Count: 1.7k

A/N: if you (don’t/do) want to be tagged please tell me 😭 i restarted the story but i’m tired so i’m just using the old taglist

@echobeez @eg0m4n14c @roach-master @give-liife @zh4rkbyt3

Did Heaven and Hell really exist? Or was it simply something people made up to cause mass hysteria amongst society, thinking “oh no, if I do bad I’ll be tortured for the rest of my existence!” or “ok so I’ll do good and it’ll all be perfect! Rainbows and sunshine everywhere!!” Yeah. Bullshit like that. That’s really what it came across as to people who didn’t believe. Take Austin for example; he thought it was just some make believe thing that parents make up to scare their children, nothing more. Not like he would know what that felt like. He was scared of his parent in the first place! As ironic how that was, however.

Though he wasn’t sure if he really believed that right now, considering the location he just landed in. And yes, literally landed. Last thing he remembered was staring down at his trembling hands, his dark, cold to the touch gun laying on the snow next to where he was sitting, blood staining his pure white glove that he hadn’t even bothered to take off before he continued, which was barely distinguishable from the winter’s effect due to his blurred vision, the ground beneath him frozen solid. Nobody saw him of course, he was in the middle of a lonely forest, hardly any wildlife to accompany his site of self homicide. There was frostbite on the peak of his nose, his breath coming out as mild clouds of fog as the gunshot wound he formed in his chest spilling out dark, warm blood onto the pale ground beneath him as he slowly lost his vision.

But that was gone now. He felt perfectly fine. Well, aside from the pounding in his head. Unable to barely collect his own thoughts he clutched at his head, letting out a weak noise of pain as he forced himself to stand, using the armrest of a nearby bench to help him up. His eyes fluttered open, but he was quickly greeted by a completely new place. It wasn’t cold, it wasn’t the middle of nowhere… Where was it? It looked like an abandoned city people always talked about in newspapers. Honestly he would’ve thought that if it weren’t for the fact people were actively walking about the torn streets. Speaking of, wow there were a lot of cracks on the ground, not even including the buildings. It was like there was a mass earthquake and nobody bothered to fix it after. It was a comparable replica of Brooklyn, in which… well, it’s 10 times worse.

A red shaded sky overhung the sky, which Austin assumed to be from some sort of air quality disfigurement, but no, nothing seemed off while breathing at all. There was also some sort of black ball that looked like it would be the “sun,” and yet it had some sort of red pentagram type shape over it. Next to that, it was that but white and smaller, surrounded by wings and a shape that appeared to be a type of halo. In short, it looked much more divine. Gaze lingering on the floating object and all of its pinioned glory for a moment longer, he eventually looked back away, mind filled with confusion. What is this place?

The town was full of noise; the sounds of people engaging in conversation, cars (that people were driving quite recklessly, as if they didn’t care,) and… screaming, all mixing into one big overwhelming noise, making Austin’s ears ring on top of the headache, which made him let out a weak whine of pain as he continued on, walking away from where he originally was. While entangling his fingers throughout his hair though, he noticed he was missing something. His hat. At the discovery, the man frowned, but didn’t want to think too hard on what happened to it. It was probably long gone by now.

When he was staring he suddenly noticed a large, neon sign that flickered randomly, signaling that it really wasn’t being taken care of, which caught his attention. WELCOME TO HELL. Oh, well that explains it. The views of the landscape, the fact everyone looks like absolute freaks… He was in Hell. Despite the fact he didn’t even believe in it, he was surprised he was even there. Why was he in this place!? He’s hot, he’s famous, and he’s nice! What did he possibly do that was so bad and landed him here? I mean yeah, he killed a few thousand people… and basically committed mass manipulation.. and— that’s not the point!!

He could definitely see how some other people got here, though. Fuck, they were murdering people right on the streets! Not to mention the cannibalism after… Who could loose so much dignity they do that in public! If anything do it where nobody’s gonna see you. He grimaced at people, though in all honesty he didn’t really give a shit. He’s seen it all before; their blood better not get on him, though. As if he jinxed it, while he was walking, he passed by a murder, the cause getting a tad bit of blood on Austin’s suit. He scowled, staring at them. "What the fuck? Do you not have any dignity!?" he yelled out, making the murderer then around and glance at him, a bloodied knife in hand, which also had small bits of gut on it. "How ‘bout you have some respect?" they scowled, until they saw what Austin actually looked like. Their attitude quickly changed and they got a stupid grin on their face, eyes narrowing. "Er.. Sorry ma’am. I swear I can make that up to you, if you know what I mean, doll," they commented on, voice dropping an octave as they got up in Austin’s personal space, who was glaring at them clearly pissed off. A few seconds into their silence, the singer glanced down, before looking back up. Yup, definitely a man. Surely he wouldn’t mind this, right?

With that, he forced a flattered smile, putting on a flustered little façade. "W-Who, me? Oh, I’d be delighted!" he spoke back. "Although, I sure hope you don’t mind if I do this first…" he muttered, before his face dropped and he brought his knee up, hitting him directly in the groin which made the stranger let out a yelp of pain, stumbling back. "What the- OW!!" he screamed out, his tone a mix of agony and frustration. The stranger fell onto the ground, curling up as he sucked air in between his teeth, arms clutched around his lower stomach as he writhes in pain. Austin reaches down and grabs onto the knife he had dropped down by his feet when he assaulted. "I’ll be using this," he said casually, before continuing on. "Oh, and it’s sir." He sunk the weapon into the side of their leg when he said that as to punctuate, causing a loud squelching noise as it sunk into their now exposed and bleeding flesh, mixing in with the stranger’s yelp of further pain, further penetrating the wound by sinking it in deeper using his foot, before giving one last remark as he steps back. "Bye, have a good day, baby! Love you," he smiled as if he hadn’t just done that, standing back up straight and going back on with his day.

Though, as he went on about his business, his smile fell. He still had no clue why he was where he was. Hell? Really??? This is shit. He didn’t deserve this. Ok, well if he seriously had to live here, he had to find a house, obviously. So where was there to start? Was he supposed to get an apartment? Yeah, hah. As if there was an actually decent place down here. If only people actually recognized him right now, everyone seemed to fall head over heels for him somehow, and now here he was, lost, covered in blood, and terribly sexy. Oh, the agony!

K. Actually, now. Think, Austin, think! Would he just suck it up and get an apartment? Would he wait until he wakes up from whatever fucked up dream this was? He didn’t know! Hopefully the latter though, this place was terrible. At least he felt okay. Physically. He stared back up at the red sky, the freedom of being able to stare up and not get blinded from the piercing sun being a surprising new sensation. He let out a sigh, running his gloved fingers through his soft hair, before going completely frozen as he felt something sensitive. The singer’s eyes narrowed in confusion, before poking where the feeling was, feeling an immediate shock go through his whole body, catching him off guard as he lets out a surprised squeak. What the hell??? Ow! Oh god, don’t tell me I’m one of these freaks walking around like it’s nobody’s business too. If I am, I better be hot.. he thought, going further on.

Austin still had no clue what to do, and he had been walking around for what felt like centuries by now, but it was only a small bit over 10 minutes. His legs were tired, and he wanted somewhere to rest. The upset expression on his face never went away, and in fact only got worse from when he started. Not even an hour into this, and he wanted out. There’s an entire list starting on what’s wrong right now. He’s hungry, he’s alone, he’s tired, he’s… Well, you get the idea. You know what I was going to say.

While moping around the town, he finally spotted something; an actually okay looking apartment building. Or so it looked. He walked over to it, grabbing onto the door knob on the see-through glass door and turning it gently, walking in. He was quickly greeted by the noise of people talking in the lobby; they must live here. "Hello, ma’am." Lost in his thoughts, he was startled as the person at the front desk spoke up, making Austin look over in confusion. "Yes, you. Are you here to get an apartment?"

"Uhm.." he mumbled, before spinning around to walk right back out. "No thanks. I’m good, I don’t need you or your shitty place." The person grimaced in confusion, before shrugging, watching him walk out. What an idiot, probably a crackhead.

Welp, he’ll just walk around. Hopefully he’ll find something… All this walking is getting annoying.

Okokokokok!! I finally got a decent picture of Shelia to post and to put together in a character sheet.

Shelia grew up in the same town in Dublin Ireland as Julius and Killian. (I don't know many details of their old neighborhood but whatever.) She lived across from Killian.

She was always very quiet and shy, but she was known by literally everyone. And not in a good way.

Shelia's mother was an immortal black witch, so she got her mothers abilities, which were passed down to her as more violent and stronger than her mothers. She very easily lost control of them. Bc of this, sge was harshly bullied and was usually being beaten up by the kids her age.

She would have been completely alone if it wasn't for Killian and Julius. Technically it was only Killian who really hung out with her. Although she had an older sister named Megara.

Megara was definitely the most popular girl. Every girl wanted to be her and every guy wanted to be with her. Nobody ever noticed Shelia.

After years, she lost contact with her two friends after Julius moved. She was alone, and since Killiah wasn't there to kick their ass, she was more tortured and more kicked around resulting in terrible injuries and pain.

After acouple hundred years, she moved and found herself in Boston. This takes place when Megara and her father, the only humans in the family, died, so she was kind of lonely bc she moved out if her mothers house, which wasn't her mother's idea bc of how deadly sick Shelia was bc of all her injuries and other stuff, technically I'd she wasn't immortal, she'd be dead.

Killian found her and noticed her wounds and injuries, and was very concerned. She didn't recognize him at first, but he forced her to tell him what happened. So she did.

After that, Satan "claimed" her as his property and shoved her in the pocket dimension of Hell, which Julius didn't agree with but sucks for him and yeah

Pls gods, let justice be right this ONE TIME, and get that man out of there- there’s NO WAY that this is a legit trial. Rather a framing trial.

My evidence? Simple.

(PSA: I’m no lawyer, I’m not even out of highschool yet, but I happen to notice a few holes in the case, and have been keeping a relatively close eye on what’s going on regarding this case. So it’s possible that I can be completely wrong in some aspects. All I ask is if you can provide me with some information or other evidences that can help me understand more!)

Earlier in the investigation, cops had found a backpack not too far from the scene. The one most likely used before the shooting. (It was all over the news and on all socials I was following at that time-) What was in it?

A jacket and Monopoly money. A trick, a joke to punch at the cops and the CEO billionaires that dare to hurt the innocent. However, the person who “identified” him, said that they identified him via his jacket and backpack. Odd, didn’t the cops say they found a backpack and a jacket inside the backpack?

And mind you, didn’t a CEO illegally help the police by giving them purchase information to help out the case, when there was no specific evidence or warrant for a specific person’s arrest at that time? (From what I understand it was tracking the number of the shooter’s backpack, which without a warrant for a specific person’s arrest is illegal I think.)

And mind you, he used two specific things in the shooting. From what we’re aware of, a 3D printed gun, which was most likely discarded. And bullets used to kill pets when they can’t be cared for in extreme cases. The cops stated that they found the gun that fits the bullets.

Question on that. Since there was no model of gun found anywhere at the scene, and there was no way to test what type to figure out what kind of bullets could have fit in a gun, how could they randomly find the guy who happened to have a gun that supposedly was a perfect match? How did they find out? The usage of the bullets a second time would’ve most likely destroyed the bullets, especially the ones engraved “deny defend depose” on it. So are the bullets still intact after that usage? Even if they aren’t, that could be considered tampering with evidence, as they easily could’ve put the gun used to fire the bullets into the other backpack that was found on his person. To add onto my evidence of them adding the gun to his backpack, no other bullets were found in either the gun, on Luigi, nor in the backpack. Or at least we’re aware of. So how did they know it was the gun outside of either literally putting it on his person when nobody’s looking, or risking the destruction of the bullets needed for the case?

And the security cameras, could they not have used the voice in the one recording that allegedly has his face in it? Or were they just too lazy to use their resources and separate the voices and amplify his voice? If a music producer making music from home with a free music app can do it, and with the budget the N.Y.P.D. have, they should’ve been able to do this with ease. So why didn’t they even try?

And the manifesto, the one that he allegedly wrote in about his mother and his own pains from his spinal infusion, did they do a handwriting test? Was it accurate? If so, why didn’t they release it to the public, or hell, give it to Luigi’s lawyers to use for his favour in the case? Aren’t we supposed to give a constitutional right to a fair and free trial to everyone, regardless of the crime they potentially committed? We have literal child predators and rapists walking our streets, and they’re most worried about a guy who is most likely being framed for a crime he did not commit?

A small reminder that neither of his lawyers have been given any evidence as of today, and unless they’re willing to give them the evidence needed, then what’s the point of the trial? It’s giving a bad reality TV show, it’s just a way to make a quick buck off of people who care for their favorite character in the show. It’s not good in my book.

Also, what’s with the terrorism charge? Isn’t the terrorism charge supposed to be used for large-scale operations like what happened with 9-11? And if this leads to a terrorism crime, then what about bank robberies? What about school shooters? What about sex trafficking? Are those all able to fall under the terrorism charge? Because you can’t pick and choose what you want to consider as terrorism. As that’s just not how it should work. Most of the time terrorism is on large scale, rarely is it on a 1:1 scale ratio, and when it is, it’s shoved under the rug so far back that not even the government can find the examples needed to convict him.

So, personally, this is a falsified framing trial. It has way too many plot-holes to even be considered a solid case, and while the backpack can be written off as a decoy to throw off the cops, there are plenty more holes to be considered in that can easily lead this case to a mistrial. The N.Y.P.D say this is a serious case, but yet are treating it with such suspicious and downright sloppy behaviour, that I’m not sure if this will even make it past the state courts.

And one more thing, police have been treating him horribly ever since his arrest, as a photo reveals that he was forced to take a picture in soiled clothes, and was forced into solitary confinement despite not having a warrant nor being indicted for the crimes committed. So there’s that as well.

Again I’m not a lawyer, I’m just a few months away from graduating high school. I just noticed that there was a lot of holes in the case that most other cases would’ve covered in a usual murder charge. There’s a good chance I’m wrong on some of it, a lot of it, or even all of it. All I ask is for constructive criticism and not to be mean about it, because most people won’t take it if you’re being unnecessarily harsh about it!

GO APOLLO GO

SIC 'EM

EVERYONE LEND HIM YOUR STRENGTH!

[just-another-color-coded-crime]

i’m making a list of all the things i didn’t notice the first time i watch arcane

- the cupcake claggor eats on the room coming from the balcony he was just on

- jayce’s suicide letter (weighted down by his bracelet)

- the importance of viktor being the one who hands said bracelet back to him..

- the face viktor makes after jayce asks him “are you sure..?”

- the fact it’s viktor’s cane they use to block the door

- silco literally stabbing vander in the back after vander metaphorically did it to him

- ekko fixing a clock the first time we see him and the importance of time surrounding his character since the beginning

- how PRETTY viktor’s fingers are.. esp when manipulating the hexclaw

- “pow” scoring right below her sister’s best score

- how much of a manipulative snake mel medarda actually is

- blood tainted coin in the sheriff’s hand literally being blood tainted

- “death” and “magician” cards

- the amount of butterflies shown (there’s one in singer’s cave, when viktor finds out what he did to rio ; jayce picks up a mechanical one on the bridge ; he plays with it in the council room)

- “viktor saved my life once” touching his bracelet ; actually it was twice you just don’t know it yet

- also, boats

- nobody having cleaned viktor’s blood on his desk

- jinx and silco pulling the same trick with their toxic gas

- the abundance of stripes on undercity people : vi and jinx’s pants, kid and adult viktor’s sleeves

- the council’s table being a cog

- ekko’s tear when vi hugs him

- the fact that singed’s face got burnt by powder’s lil act.. im slow slow

-shimmers reflection in viktor’s eyes when it’s handed to him

-silco using an ashtray obviously made by jinx

-the sheer look of despair on jayce’s face while viktor is in the hexcocoon

- how measured cait actually is in the wake of her mother’s death ? saying it’s only one individual not the entire undercity, how weaponized hextech isn’t gonna be the thing that saves them.. it’s the memorial attack that pushes her across the edge (rightfully so, from her pov.. when she realizes it’s not just one girl but an undercity army that attack them) and even then, her only goal is to get jinx, shimmer and silco’s truthers

she does lose the map at some point tho, when they start using the grey on random people who just had the unluck of being from the undercity

-the black thing (badge of honor?) cait gets in a letter ? i just saw it on someone’s chest but i didn’t see who it was (cait maybe) (ok i think it was a grief token for people who lost someone in the attack)

USHSJSJSJA PURSUIT CHAPTER 1!!!!!!!

Stopppppo WHERES MY COUSIN BAROU I wish I had one irl brooooo im not crying everytime I read the alivd moments im reminded they’re short lived goodBYEEEE ok but SO HYPED FOR NEXT CHAPTER houndours pokeball heating up was such a nice detail too!!! Also AWEWWEE when she pops out of her pokeball so cute it’s giving gyarados the way that people are like “wtf get your dog” “it don’t bite” “YES IT DO” but anyways wait also why am I lowk in my feels about leaving the gogoat behind…the govt should just give it as a free mount bro

ALSO SHABSHSH Barou and reader finding the houndour siblings separated from the pack and with one injured and Barou telling the houndour to meet him again for the potion but also to fight with him I’m not sobbing

Anyways I LOVED the flashback PURSUIT FLASHBACK SUPREMACY can’t wait to see a certain bird man next chapter

- Karasu anon

PURSUIT CHAPTER ONE YESSSS omg no because whenever i’m writing barou i’m just like yeah it makes so much sense why reader spends YEARS looking for him and waiting for him to come back 😭 if someone loved me that much i’d fr never give up on them either

i’ve been trying to add in little details like that!! as well as behaviors from different animals that the pokémon are based on just to give it a more realistic and immersive feel as well as to give the pokémon more personality?? like i hope it came through but barou’s houndour is much gruffer/more protective/warier than reader’s houndour (not unlike their respective trainers) as well there isn’t really any canon backing for psychic types hating dark types but imo it was a fun inclusion HAHA that’s also why the espurr and grumpig were constantly side-eyeing reader!! she always had houndour with her and they didn’t like the energy even before houndour was released LMAO it’s fun coming up with random stuff (such as the on-account stuff in the pokémart) and expanding on lore to make the world feel richer

DHJKFLSKDJ that’s literally reader’s entire team if you think about it 😭 none of them live up to their reputations except aegislash and kind of hydreigon?? although hydreigon is also rlly sweet w reader it’s just kinda emotional and throws tantrums a lot (gyarados learns ice beam specifically so that it can use it on hydreigon when it’s being annoying HAHA) so it’s not fiercely evil or malevolent or anything just a bit of a sensitive which given that reader rescued it from the pokémon abuse ring as a baby deino is understandable 🥹 aegislash is the only one that’s like genuinely just problematic but because it respects reader (and her houndoom + hydreigon) it behaves itself…other than that though like houndoom and gyarados especially are just big puppies with hearts of gold despite how villainous they may appear

DID YOU NOTICE READER FOUND THE HOUNDOOMINITES??? that’s what houndour has on her collar hehe although ofc nobody but aiku (and barou but he’s #dead) knows what it is so it’ll be irrelevant for quite a few arcs but i wanted to drop it in now so that people aren’t like “why’d you just make it up when you needed it” or whatever like now it’s been referenced and is a chekhov’s gun that’ll be brought up later

OMG GOGOAT stop i loved the gogoat too bruh this is all mr mikage’s fault (somehow) maybe after becoming champion reader returns to coumarine city and demands they give her the gogoat and it lives the rest of its live being spoiled with the rest of the nagi family’s pokémon instead of having to walk dumbass kids to and from school (i think it would be besties with nagi’s arcanine given that arcanine was supposed to have that job before failing out of the training and being given to nagi…also his whimsicott because #grasstypebond)

BAROU AND HIS HOUNDOUR HAVE ME CRYING also you know what that implies right…when barou caught his houndour his sister didn’t run away/rejoin her family she stayed in coumarine until barou caught her for reader as well 😭 she refused to abandon her brother 😭 just like reader 😭 refused to abandon 😭 barou 😭

AHH DID YOU NOTICE I REFERENCED DADDY KARASU??? as in tabito and yayoi’s actual literal father not a freaky nickname for OUR karasu SDKFHSLKDJ anyways he’s the gym leader at shalour in the flashback (since yayoi still has to go on her journey with barou and isagi and prove herself/build her team before she can inherit the gym) and barou mentions him at one point!! hehe i felt so intelligent writing that line because if you don’t know who’s about to pull up and what his lore is it’s literally meaningless but when you DO know you’re like KARASU MENTIONED 😯⁉️

[thisisevenharderthannamingablog]

Liveblogging notes for Ep 10.

Belated episode 9 reflection - Kim grew up in a world without innocence. He's what, ~4 years younger than Kinn? So was that much younger when whatever happened to their mother, and when Khun's kidnapping took place. He has a kind of caution that results from putting an observant child on the periphery of fucked up situations.

On to the episode.

Porsche has dropped the polite mode when he talks to Vegas? And now he's run off with him? Leaving Kinn hoping he hasn't just made the biggest mistake of his entire life??

Back to Chay. So was there a makeout session here, or a nap or...? Entertaining contrast from their older siblings' sex marathon.

Oh no, Kim.exe has crashed. You really are a Theerapanyakul; total fail at intimacy. Give yourself some time. More food, hm - but it doesn't get eaten.

Wow, broad daylight kidnapping Chay. There certainly is more plot happening all the sudden.

Kinn back to the power suits, no more cuddly. Big is suspicious. I kinda like how he always has his hands in his pockets? I don't know why.

Oh no Pete you just broke my entire heart with that speech. So brave. (I was so glad when he legit did find something useful.) Back on my chess metaphor, this is when his "piece" gets promoted from pawn to... knight, maybe? It goes unremarked in the dialog, but he has literally switched sides here. Would he have gone back in there on Kinn's orders? Absolutely. He wants to do it for Porsche.

Your writers know absolutely nothing about computer security. And how the hell did Tawan get out of the place? Oh right, mole.

Well this is getting very democratically unpleasant.

Tawan is legit pathetic. Still kinda gross. I can never get over how (relatively) short Vegas is. Porsche is SO confused. Vegas finally clues us in regarding his long game. It's evil! I love it! Porsche, wasn't untying yourself day one training?

This is probably the biggest family gathering Kim has attended in years. He's got Chay and Porsche is probably like who the fuck is that?! never mind, gotta fight people.

NOOOOOOOO I knew it was coming but damn. :( RIP perpetually annoyed supporting character, you deserved better. I hope Kim writes you a beautiful song.

Oh Kinn you will not let him live nobody's buying that.

Wow Vegas says a lot of shit. Even Porsche is like WTF that is messed up?? Spoilers did not prepare me for this whole Tawan/Vegas side story. Just put this guy out of his misery, yikes. Not right now, given that you're directly in one another's line of fire though.

That did indeed end poorly -- very much so for Big and Tawan, a little less for Chay, and kinda for Vegas who is now in a lot of trouble.

Kinn smoking this is new? Any chemical coping mechanism in a storm I suppose; this was not a good night for him.

I'm not sure if I'm going to watch the Pete/Vegas stuff or not. I hesitated to watch the show at all on account of this plot. Not here to harsh on anyone who likes that part of the story, just not my personal jam. Gotta say that is some intense eye contact there though. (What is with this show and freshman actors in major roles absolutely knocking it out of the park?)

Gun (? I've seen his name romanized like three different ways now) is pissed. Hard power vs. soft - we would never see Korn do something like that... himself.

Family meeting. Kinn's already down to the bottom of the glass (once I notice stuff like this I can't stop, sorry). "Your guy who betrayed us" nice verbal positioning there Gun. Khun not letting him get away with it, good job. Not quite ready to throw Vegas under the bus, eh.

Interesting micro-nod from Kinn there. He is so annoyingly hard to read in this setting. That was after Gun's line about punishment - an acknowledgement that yeah, he does want that, so what?

He lost Big, Could have lost Porsche. Chay's gotten dragged into it, which has dragged Kim into it. No matter how generally inured you are to violence, having your ex-lover shoot himself in the head three feet away is a little rough. And as much as he and Vegas hate each other, I doubt Kinn's thrilled that things have gotten to this point.

Gutsy move there, Gun! Korn would never kill him though (not with an audience anyway, or unless a last resort). That would completely upset Korn's whole meticulously arranged system. Gun (probably) knows that, and by forcing the question he removes the possibility that he'll get shot right now from the table.

Korn also (again, probably) won't let Kinn do it, and right now he is the bigger threat; Gun's eyes are mostly on Kinn in this scene, not his own brother. At Korn's "someone must be responsible for this," Gun looks at Kinn, who has another of those almost invisible nods. (There's his intro scene energy again. Mom must have been an interesting person. The main family and Kinn personally are surrounded by water, which is feminine? I don't know much about Thai symbology. Was she the last good chess opponent Korn had?)

Korn isn't going to let Kinn kill Gun for the above reason that he wants Gun right where he is, also because it would hand off way too much authority to Kinn, and finally (I suspect) because he wants to kill Gun. You can't go around letting people do things they find satisfying, what fun is that. (If Gun will hand over Vegas, though? Kinn can kill him, no great loss--or vice versa? Vegas is controllable. Kinn has been erratic lately. Just musing here, back to the episode.)

Victory doesn't come from taking advantage of the weak? Dude that is literally your entire livelihood. Making Gun accept that label of weak in public is far better than shooting him as far as Korn is concerned. Gun watching Kinn finish his drink, both of them aware that he would have pulled the trigger.

Still smoking. Stress-induced reversion to an old habit? They're arguing, but they're talking; I'll take it. Just gonna kiss the stupid out of each other, huh. Outside in broad daylight though, y'all getting reckless. Also getting better at fighting and making up like regular people. Kinn is not relying on vibes and sex, but explicitly checking in to agree the argument is over (a thing lots of people with much more relationship experience never learn, tbh).

So Chay wants Porsche to quit - not surprising - and it seems like Porsche is not inclined to? And Kinn kinda forgot about Pete...? On the other hand, at least there's besotted looks and cuddling.

[foolishone-downbad]

going to do a massive personal info dump because I need to vent

so I was always very candid with my husband about what I wanted from life in general.... Basically, to gtfo of Texas ASAP and to be done with having kids by 35 (for many reasons), and also wanting multiple kids.

Anyywaaayy. We had our son in 2020, were handling that and figuring out what we were going to do, where to settle long term, when roe v wade got overturned and we were like yeah so we don't want to try for another kid while we're in Texas, so let's try to get out sooner vs later? Then we decided we'd try to move to Germany because that's where my brother lives! He has his residency! Opportunities for our son!! Amazing!! The plan was to take a year for my husband to go back to school and get his cyber security certificate, save money, job hunt, etc. put off second baby until after the move because it'd be safer and easier (even though the year would put me at 34 and gap between the kids would keep increasing...).

I basically single parented for a YEAR while my husband disassociated from our marriage/family and didn't give a flying fuck about anything I was going through. Like. Wouldn't even miss a single class when I was so sick I could hardly stand up to take care of our toddler, didn't notice I was crying myself to sleep next to him because I was dealing with massive family problems (that's a whole other story but I basically lost my other brother now too).

For my swiftie mutuals... When I say I claimed "you're losing me" for the better part of 2023... I had to stop and sit down to breathe the first time I heard it.

And my husband was just.... Dragging his feet. Wasn't taking certification tests. Wasn't applying for jobs. I was applying left and right and he was just... Giving me constant new deadlines. "I'll apply in January." Then February. Then March. Etc etc. He quit his job WITH NO SAFETY NET. He wouldn't apply for jobs here in his current field to hold him over. He was unemployed for the better part of 2023. Savings ran dry and he was taking loans under the table from his parents without telling me.

Meanwhile.... I'm literally aching for this baby I thought we would start trying for this year. Like. Crying when I'm getting my period, even though we weren't trying.

My husband finally. FINALLY takes a small job because "I fucked up and need something" in December. We decide to try for a baby and I get pregnant.

I did an over the counter early gender predictor and it's a girl! OVER THE MOON. A girl to match my little boy!

But right at 11 weeks I miscarried. I lost her. I'm. I'm so devastated y'all. It was so painful and so awful and my husband told my mom within a week that "we've had time to process it"??? And I wanted to strangle him. My body was still expelling things, and he had PROCESSED IT.

My doctor told me we could try again after my first period and so we did and.....I just got my period again on Friday, so happy fucking mother's day to me, I guess. I just feel like I'm never going to get this little baby that I so desperately want, I really want my son to have a sibling, I wanted that girl so bad.

And we're still stuck here and my husband doesn't seem to be trying to look at jobs out of Texas, out of the US, and I know everyone we told (family) just doesn't think it's happening ever and they are all constantly acting like we're going to be here forever and it rubs this salt in the wound of being here forever, of being a failure at anything I want to do, any hopes I have. And I keep having late night panic attacks doing the math at how old my son is because he'll be leaving daycare to go to school on two years and I thought he'd be okay going to elementary school with my husband if we're stuck here at least but THEN my husband came home with this story two weeks ago about a FIFTH GRADER who brought a gun to school because she was being bullied and nobody found out for a MONTH until she ratted herself out ("so what? I've brought a gun to school") WHAT THE FUCK

anyway when I said I'm spiraling, I'm spiraling, and I know there's more, but this is my current stream of consciousness, i just want to cry and lay in bed for a week away from everybody and talk to nobody

Ok, it worked TOO WELL, because his mother is FURIOUS that I was able to talk her son out of having hallucinations because-- Wait for it-- She liked that her son was seeing demons. Because he was begging to go to church and get blessed. The pastors were physically assaulting him, televangelist-style. And the hallucinations KEPT GETTING WORSE AFTER EACH VISIT (no shit). But when I essentially talked him out of hallucinations, he stopped begging to go to church. And now? She texted me from his phone, pretending to be him at time that he usually isn't awake, claiming that she meant to paste calling me a bitch into ChatGPT (which The Kid doesn't use anymore), and also here's a list of all the drugs he's using (to try and provoke a sense of disgust in me but it mostly just cemented that it wasn't her son because he feels so much disgust with himself that he NEVER says what drugs he's on), and the reason she gave for him hating me is..... I'm odd and I have principles that I don't back down from. Ma'am. Those are the things your son has sung my praises over for literal years. Told me that my pride in being odd and having principles was like a revelation. Thought the sun shone from my ass because I am Odd™ and Have Principles™. I didn't outright say, "Very funny, stop pretending to be your son you Pamela Vorhees-acting bitch" but I did say "Wow, that's all stuff that your mom says about me" which she, naturally, flipped out about. Now whenever I see her out and about she basically sprints to her front door or to her car to avoid me. I was worried that she'd use our HOA (because she's on the board, because OF COURSE she is!) to try and kick me out of my home, so I went ahead and called the HOA president and told him what was up. My siblings in sin. He.... He didn't even know she had a son. After some initial confusion he believed me, of course, because I didn't jump right to "Our mutual neighbor is batshit coo-coo bananas" and instead opted to start with "I'm concerned" and then let HIM decide how much wacky neighbor gossip he was willing to tolerate. So I'm not gonna lost my home (yay?). But here's the thing..... She's been denying that the tall lanky kid who looks like her is even related to her. Like, "The 6'3" boy who is on drugs and who occasionally drives my car and never strays far from the building we live in? Never heard of him" levels of denial. (Ma'am, I think I may have solved the mystery of why your son turned to hard drugs in this supposedly Good Christian™ Household). Now it's been almost two weeks and I haven't seen The Kid, heard from The Kid..... Nothing. We only ever texted, and he's horribly shy about knocking on doors. I've been finding excuses to be outside more but I never see him. And, forgive me, but I don't want to try and knock on their door with a casserole in case she confronts me and really does go Friday the 13th style crazy. They're conservative, they have guns, and they've threatened murder over far less. Calling the police is a no go because A) Police tend to shoot anyone who is on drugs and, B) She will definitely know exactly who called them because--Again-- Apparently this son is a secret and virtually nobody else would notice that he's not around and would therefore not call the police to report him as missing. As I told the HOA president, "This is either a wacky sitcom plot, or Act 1 of a True Crime podcast and I can't decide which is more likely at this point". And yes, I considered the possibility that he's been MY hallucination this whole time but we've been friends for long enough that people I know have interacted with him, and not in a "weird girl's imaginary friend" way. So..... Yeah. I can apparently cure DMT hallucinations using only my words, but I'm powerless to fix actual clinical fundamentalist evangelical insanity.

Ok guys. Tumblr just cured my friend of hallucinations, and my therapist said that this was potentially AN ACTUAL BREAKTHROUGH for treating moderate psychosis, especially difficult-to-treat cases where the patient is convinced that their hallucinations are more "real" than reality. You remember that thread about Magenta? How it isn't real??

We used that shit to cure someone's hallucinations. First, a bit of background: I'm mentally ill (anxiety, Bipolar II, depression, PTSD-- all held in check by medications and therapy), and I've been helping this kid for a while, let's call him K, who also suffers from mental illnesses (anxiety, drug addiction, and some other things) in sort of a Big Sister capacity. K has been struggling with extremely realistic hallucinations ever since doing DMT, aka, the drug that apparently gives you lasting lifelike hallucinations long after you stop taking it? K was specifically seeing demons. Straight up devils clawing at him. Probably because he was raised Evangelical and is LGBTQ, and his parents bombard him with that shit 24/7.

He described what he was undergoing as "spiritual psychosis" and was adamant that what he was seeing was reality pulled back to reveal the truth of what was going on: That demons were coming for him. Going to a church and getting blessed would make them disappear for a little bit, but then they'd come back stronger than before. There was no way to convince K that hallucinations this real could be anything but the absolute, objective truth.

So I'd seen that thing about Magenta come across my dash, did an edible, watched a Nicholas Cage movie, and I had an idea.

I introduced K to the concept that Magenta does not exist outside of the human mind. He was confused at first, but after explaining that (basically) that the color magenta does not exist outside of the human mind, it made him FINALLY understand that what we perceive is NOT objective reality. So that's Step 1: Use Magenta to understand that no matter how irrefutable your senses tell you your hallucinations are, they are a trick of the mind. Everyone in the whole goddamn world walks around thinking that Magenta is a totally real color that actually exists in the world. That's why you can't trust your hallucinations.

But that left the next problem: If he wasn't experiencing a "spiritual psychosis", that meant that he was experiencing hallucinations, and everyone knows that hallucinations are the product of a diseased mind and honestly isn't it better to have demons that you can chase away with holy water than having a diseased brain that's having hallucinations??? Every time he said the word 'hallucinations' he got visibly agitated. So I suggested we stop calling them Hallucinations. That's a loaded word with so much baggage it isn't helpful anymore. We're calling them "Magentas" now. Wait, why "Magentas"? Maybe-- MAYBE-- your mind IS perceiving SOMETHING that the rest of us aren't seeing. Maybe it's a shift in electromagnetism. Maybe it's a stray neutrino whizzing past. Maybe it's a shift in temperature that's so subtle the rest of us can't detect it, but to your DMT-opened mind, you're seeing it as, well, like the rest of us see magenta when there is (say it with me now) objectively no magenta outside of the human mind. Because, just like Magenta, your brain meat is being ticked by SOMETHING, but what you're seeing isn't what's actually there. But, also yes, I can see the scary face in the wallpaper design if I squint, so he's not crazy for your newly-opened mind to see some pareidolia-- Let's just avoid looking at things that look like scary faces, ok? So that's Step 2: Take the power out of the word "Hallucinations" by calling them something powerless. In this case, Magenta. (Also, stop staring at the wallpaper if it scares you.) Yes, haha, clever fae trick. Steal a thing's true name and it no longer holds power over you, I guess? Step 3 is trickier because you just have to be there for the person and reassure them that while yes, it was a crazy experience, they are not crazy for seeing things after doing DMT and yes they can cancel the upcoming re-baptism and when his parents get cranky at you because they LIKED that their son was suddenly so desperate for church and they hate that your solution does NOT involve getting blessed several times a week or getting re-baptized, you have to NOT scream at them that their fucked up religiosity was the entire reason their son thought his soul was being devoured by demons from hell. (Even though you'd be entirely right for doing so, because it's 100% their fucking fault their kid has deep-seated guilt that's manifesting as hallucinations from the drugs he took to escape his parents profound disappointment that he doesn't want to fuck who they want him to fuck.) K is now doing better. It's been a month, and not only has the severity of his.... Magentas..... Lessened, but the frequency and duration have also dwindled to levels that are manageable and he's confident that eventually they'll vanish entirely. All because Tumblr did a science on us. Now.... If anyone can drop some science that I can spin into an analogy that gets rid of night terrors, K would be grateful. I'd also be delighted to know if this works for anyone else. Please reblog and maybe someone with a grant budget can do a clinical test and will be forced to cite Tumblr as a source.

☁︎☂︎Random astrology observations #2☂︎☁︎

◈Gemini+Virgo placements - Mercury makes you quick on ur feet. 🤸‍♀️Like y’all are probs the peeps who walk super fast and get particularly annoyed when you’re stuck behind someone languidly strolling. Y’all also get irritated if someone doesn’t understand how to do something as quickly as you- like y’all are super smart, but cut us normies some slack. 😪

◈One time I met a triple Aquarius; sun, moon rising and he was Uranian energy personified. He would tell stories of him fucking with the government, cheating the system and causing mayhem in established structures, like stealing whole ass mini fridges from Walmart. He also didn’t smoke weed but had a whole Instagram page dedicated to weed memes. Lol. Such contradiction, so chaos. Needless to say, he was memorable. 🤡

◈Timothee Chalamet has a 5th house stellium and it makes SO MUCH SENSE. 5th house is star 💫 power, 5th house is acting, it’s drama, it’s also the house of good fortune. He went from nobody knowing his name to “everyone”knowing his name in just a couple years. He also has his 5th house stellium in Capricorn, so he tends to be well respected by his elders in the industry. They see him almost as an equal. It helps that he’s a Pisces moon and life path 9 and that’s old soul energy. I can make a whole ass post about Timmy’s chart 😏 maybe in my next post lol 😇

◈This one’s personal but people with moon in 5th house are such dreamers. Y’all can weave a fantastical world of ur own made up of cherry 🍒 pie, sunshine and infinite love. The marriage of the moon in the 5th house of the sun, actually makes these individuals quite balanced emotionally. Oh and y’all def are suckers for romantic comedies.

◈Sun conjunct jupiter- what is so funny ? 😛 literally feel like y’all have laughing gas attached to you. Forever optimist. You could be hanging off a cliff with a gun pointed to ur head and you’ll still be like “oh this isn’t too bad..it’s a learning experience” lol (I have this placement so I know..lol, my friends tell me I’m their good luck charm and my sense of humor is my superpower)

◈This is just my theory but I believe if you have heavy 12th house, there is a karmic debt that U have to pay in this lifetime. Especially if you have Saturn, Pluto or mars there. 12th house is endings/12th house is karma (12th house is also rly beautiful, it’s the most spiritual house) but if u have say Pluto there, I always imagine you killed someone in a past life or someone killed you. Add mars to the mix and it was very violent.

◈I met someone with juno in Libra in the 12th house and I truly believe he lost his twin flame in his most previous lifetime and now in this lifetime he’s forever searching for that familiar energy 🥺🥺🥺

◈Empty 12th house probs means you got a clean slate this time around. Like u def did some real good deed in ur previous life.

◈ Something I’ve noticed is there are A LOT of Taurus placement celebrities- particularly actors. I find this makes sense because Taurus rules the body and it is a Venus ruled sign. So using your body to express the vibration of Venus. I almost thought about being an actor because of my Taurus rising and 5th house moon 🌝 still possible 🤩

◈ Taurus placements are SO sensitive to smells- like legit, I’m a Taurus rising and I’ll tell my friend something smells bad and then they won’t even notice it. What’s up with that ? Y’all have plugged up noses lol Also could be why Taurus placements are naturally amazing cooks - nose 👃 connected to mouth 👄 connected to brain 🧠
