Christmas With Madam Pele

Aloha kākou. It’s going to be a very special Christmas with Madam Pele coming to pay a visit. Hawai’i Volcanoes National Park (HVNP) reported that Kīlauea erupted early this morning. The eruption started at 2:30AM in Halema’uma’u Crater. There was an increase in earthquake activity beneath the Kilauea summit starting at about 2AM. We did not feel any tremors at that time. “A video camera captures…

There comes a point when you are doing too much research for fanfic, and that point is probably way before you’re looking up the interactions between the Cocos and Nazcas plates in order to decide where you would put a fictional island if you want it off the coast of Colombia.

it felt like just a sort of wiggling, and sounded like a few heavy shoes in a washing machine. i think we're pretty far from the epicenter but wow.

As someone who has lived in the south where the water trough is anywhere from mildly annoying to actively terrifying, who has lived on a fairly decently sized island where it is indeed absolutely terrifying to be cut off from the mainland suddenly with little to no help from the government for an extended period of time--

After No Man's Land and all the issues that arose then, I'd like to propose the new way of interring their dead would be mausoleums. Possibly especially with Gotham canonically existing on a system of caves. An island made of caves on the East Coast that gets battered by hurricanes almost every year is just asking to get sunk a la Atlantis but its fucking Gotham and i think the Gothamites would raise it from the sea floor again out of sheer spite.

But with mausoleums you:

Dont have your son crawling six feet through packed dirt after inexplicably coming back to life

Dont have long buried coffins and corpses getting flooded/shaken/otherwise disturbed and shunted into the water system/streets/underground reservoirs (or Lazarus Pits, since there's one of those down there too, as if Gotham didn't have enough things wrong with it)

Continues the Gotham aesthetic

Have more places for various characters to have a private mental breakdown in

Have more places for various characters to find ominous warnings etched or graffiti'd on the walls

Have more places for things much older than the mausoleums have been En Vogue™ for to inexplicably appear and send shivers down the spine

The Gothamites are very firm about not really being part of the US. The US kind of looks at the South like we're really fucking strange, and the South looks at New Orleans like they've taken the South and concentrated it, carbonated it, and shook it really hard.

I want the same vibes for Gotham. This is their home. They are weird and stubborn to a fault and everything is on fire and the government is corrupt and the people aren't always good but nobody else understands. No one else ever could. Who else has seen the lights for rescue appear on the horizon only to see the light of death on the waters, ensuring no help would ever come? They are resourceful and violent and resentful but the gods won't help you if you cross one of their own.

Ooooo talk nerdy to me, princess 🥵 it's understandable though, a cat4 is still a terrifying storm no matter how you put it.

EXACTLYYYY and as scared as i am, it pales in comparison to everyone in its direct path. this is exactly why i will never live on the coast. ever.

i didn't write every day for national poetry month but i did a bunch of them, and even when i just did short prose-diary things i like how they turned out...

Something's going on under the surface of the earth and it seems like it's spreading out with all these earthquakes and i don't know how to feel about it
