DEATH’S DOORSTEP.

➳ request: Hello hello, I hope requests are open, if not, just ignore this request.  I can ask for a headcanon, with Death Parade gang or just Decim, where the reader who is Death itself, they are kind, sweet and soft-spoken, they are participating in a game against the one who killed them, imagine death needs to participate in the games of life at least once to feel what it's like when it arrives for humans!  and they only find out when Death wins the game, and reveals that every century Death needs to know what it's like to be human, they never lose the games.  OP Reader Supremacy! Thanks for your attention. (Inspiration taken from Nail Gaiman's Sandman Comics.)

➳ character/s: decim, nona, ginti

➳ warnings: swearing, mentions of death, actual death??, mentions of murder, can be interpreted as romantic or platonic, it’s not really referring to either of them explicitly

➳ notes: DEATH PARADEEEEE! i took chiyuki outta this one just cause it didn’t really make as much sense in this scenario, but our icons are here :))

──  𝐃𝐄𝐂𝐈𝐌.

nothing out of the ordinary here

just another set of clients

where one of them killed the other-

he’s quite surprised how sweet and kind you are

always thanking him for the drink

in return you get a ._. from decim

during the game, you end up playing poker and decim is a lil bit impressed with how smart you are

he finds that even when facing your murderer, you’re still nice???

what the hell is up with that?

he knows your memories because he kinda has to have them

but he’s a lil taken aback at how fast yours came back

more so how graciously you took the win

since figuring out you’re death, he now wants you around way more

he wants to know what you think of different guests and possibly have you help with his judgement

eventually he just grew fond of you anyway, cause you’re so SWEET what is it about you that makes him want to hug you-

he hadn’t seen you before, he’d been working for less than 20 years

so the earlier he got to know you and your beliefs on life, the better

not for any self-serving purposes like being the object of your kindness

not at all...

──  𝐍𝐎𝐍𝐀.

i feel like nona would be the first to catch on before the end of the game

she’s been doin this for a whileee

she’d pick up on anomalies quite fast

not many people enjoy the presence of a killer

but nona found herself enjoying your company a lot more

you were so nice and polite

even to the other competitor for some reason

which she saw no point in

but she did give you the benefit of the doubt considering your memories are erased

and she was right to, because even though you took a while to gain any significant memories back

you DESTROYED the other person, it wasn’t even close

and only until the very end did she realise you knew you were death itself once you came to the elevators to leave

in which you just smiled at her and asked if you could have another drink

she said yes cause honestly, you deserved it after that shit show and winning by a landslide

and that was when she decided to make you a a clavis 2.0

she had yet to meet you, since this only happens every century and she hadn’t been in management the last time you came

so she took the time to get to know you and BASK IN THE TOOTH-ROTTING SWEETNESS

that is you :))

you’re now her new pool buddy in her spare time even if you always win

──  𝐆𝐈𝐍𝐓𝐈.

“huh?”

head empty, no thoughts

he doesn’t usually get customer dynamics like murderer vs victim

but he did find himself getting a bit angry

because who is this bitch to kill someone so nice as you??

it took a lot not to punch the guy across the bar as they entered

there’s a clear bias here, but he doesn’t let it impact his judgement

is what he thinks

but while watching you guys compete, he’s already vouching for you

secretly screaming in his head when he sees you continue to get ahead of the opponent

just a casual internal dialogue of

“FUCK HIM UPPPPP-”

he gave you a nice NOOGIE for winning and then had you sit with him after the game to have a nice chat

nona did join you guys to discuss business with you and what you’re job would be

which is a massive bonus for ginti, cause he gets to see you a ton >:)))

lots of playing with the cat

and a lot more noogies

also a lot of ginti asking you about how the other games went from previous centuries

and pisses off nona because he always gets you to stay during his appointments-

Movie clip - Saving Mr. Banks

My review - Saving Mr. Banks is one of my favourite movies. Not just because of Colin Farrell but Emma Thompson and Tom Hanks are practically perfect as P.L. Travers and Walt Disney. Based on a true story of how Walt got the rights to make Mary Poppins the movie which is one of my childhood favourite movies, along with Sound of Music (I love Julie Andrews). The movie has two timelines, a young Helen Goff (P.L. Travers) and her traumatic childhood with the love and death of her alcoholic father Travers Goff (Colin Farrell) and two weeks in Hollywood at Walt’s studio as his team works on concepts in the making of Mary Poppins the movie. Sad and moving moments throughout. It’s a tale of love and forgiveness with fantastic performances by the entire cast. It’s also heartwarming and meaningful as it makes you appreciate why Mary Poppins is so iconic.

i finished Death Parade! it was surprisingly good. chiyuki was one of my favorite characters, probably because we were actually able to see emotion come from her character. i also found an appreciation for Decim and Ginti. i really liked the development that Decim had, because we really got to see the impact that Chiyuki had on him. the ending was sad, and i did shed a few tears. i’m sad the show got cancelled, but i understand why. there wasn’t really a concrete plot that they were following. it seemed like they started to develop one towards the end, but clearly, that never got the chance to pan out. i also find it difficult to imagine how the show would continue after the first season, simply based on how it ended. overall, i enjoyed myself when i watched it. and i’ve already started another show :D

[eycless-archived-blog]

( yeah so i MIGHT actually make a fuckin ginti lmao. )

[cirro-stratus]

i dunno if u reblogged the ask meme but im doing iT ANYWAYS i think if i licked ur blog it would taste a lot like mint and maybe watermelon bubblegum! also kind of spicy and cold but the good kind like those white bubblegums with blue sprinkles. also maybe like an emergy drink! i hope u have a lovely day and dont mind me swooping ginti ur inbox! uwu

I did!! ovo

I @’d you cause my personal is a sideblog, so if I sent an ask it would look like some nerd-ass roleplay blog used you for a meme archive, which isn’t always fun. ):

But thank you!!

mint is one of my favorite flavors!! Also spicy is the best kind of flavor, and I always saturate my ice cream in sprinkles, so thank you!! =v=

I loved the visit, drop by any time! Lurantis is also one of my fave pokemon, so it was a delight seeing the icon.

Previously, I took you along on my journey through the West MacDonnell Ranges as far as Redbank Gorge. After leaving there, we made our way to the amazing Kings Canyon in the Watarraka National Park. We did this by following a section of the Red Centre Way, much of it unsealed and previously known as the Mereenie Loop.

Although only a touch over 200km, this section of road needs to be approached with care and patience.

Kings Canyon is such an iconic destination to visit in Australia. 

Starting the trip

The first 50km of the drive from the Redbank turnoff to the western junction of Larapinta Drive and Namitjara Drive is an easy expedition with bitumen all the way. The highlight of this section is Tylers Pass Lookout – roughly halfway to the intersection. From here there are spectacular views of Tnorala (Gosses Bluff), a crater from the impact of a comet some 140 million years ago.

After 15km of winding road from the lookout, there is a turn off to the right that leads into Tnorala. This track is definitely a 4WD track and leads into the crater. The crater is a very significant place to the Western Arrarnta people.

Following the track through the domes. 

Arriving at the Western Junction of the Red Centre Way

Back out on the main road you soon arrive at the western junction of the Red Centre Way. Turning to the left leads you towards Hermansberg and eventually Alice Springs, but, we turned right to follow the road formerly known as the Mereenie Loop.

This unsealed section of road is a regular discussion topic with travellers wanting to do the circuit from Alice to Kings Canyon and Uluru. It does live up to its reputation of being heavily corrugated with some deep sandy corners and some crazy drivers, both Australian and international.

We dropped our tyre pressures and then took our time driving through the varying conditions. The road passes through sandhill country and then hard, rocky ground through the actual Mereenie Valley. Then there are some tight corners and highly varied conditions which depend on the traffic and the last time the grader has been through.

Eventually, you arrive at Ginty’s Lookout, now a free camping area with views towards Kings Canyon. The road is bituminised off of the “jump up” before reverting to dirt again. Some 40km later you arrive at the King’s Canyon Resort, one of four accommodation options in Watarrka National Park.

The view of the sandstone domes in the area.

Watarrka National Park

Watarrka National Park is a significant conservation area with gorges and waterholes providing home for a wide range of animals, birds, reptiles and an amazing array of plants. The centrepiece of the park is the amazing Kings Canyon, a spectacular slash in the ancient red sandstone range.

The Canyon can be experienced from the air, particularly helicopter, but to truly get the feel, the colours and sheer size of it, you need to get out there and walk.

An early morning view looking up into the canyon from the top of Heartbreak Hill. 

The Rim Walk

There are a number of walks but the big one, other than a 2-day walk to Kathleen Springs, is the Rim Walk. 6km in length, it will probably take you between 3 to 4 hours to complete, mainly because you’ll want time to take the scenery in.

Physically the hardest part of the Rim Walk is the steep climb to the top of the range, right at the beginning up the spur, sometimes called Heartbreak Hill.

This is a stepped rise from the valley floor with a number of places to stop, catch your breath and take in the amazing views that are being revealed, particularly south across the flat desert plain.

The weathered sandstone domes look almost like mini versions of the Bungle Bungles. 

The track then wanders through an amazing collection of weathered sandstone domes, that look like mini Bungle Bungles. The colours surround you with shades of red, black and cream being predominant. At times the path leads through narrow passages, or more commonly, open sections covered in clumps of spinifex and other tough native plants and the odd cycad palm.

There are a number of lookouts along this section with views of the huge south wall that are just breathtaking.

Cotterill’s Lookout on the Rim Walk is not to be missed. 

Detouring to Cotterill’s Lookout

About 2.5km along, there is a track junction where you can detour out to Cotterill’s Lookout. You cross a bridge across a narrow yet deep cleft in the ground to get access to the Lookout on top of a dome. From there you can get more views of the south wall and down into the canyon.

Returning to the main track you eventually descend to a bridge across the creek via a series of staircases.

The ‘Garden of Eden’

Take the time here to follow the path and bridges down the creek to the ‘Garden of Eden’. This is a cool, shady sanctuary after the exposed walk through the lost world of domes. Here there are birds, insects and pools of water that are beautiful and also understandably sacred to the local indigenous people. Across the last pool, there is a gap where the water pours over the edge into the canyon below.

The Garden of Eden has a few serene spots like this one tucked away. 

Where to stop for a break

When you return to the bridge on the main track there are further stairs leading up to an area favoured by many to stop and have a bite to eat and a drink. There is also one of the three emergency call boxes here that enable contact with the rangers if necessary.

The others are located at the top of Heartbreak Hill and halfway across the return path on the southern side of the canyon. Shortly after, there is a bridge and a one-way gate that you pass across Kings Creek to the southern side.

Arriving on a big flat platform there is another lookout, this time viewing the overhanging cliffs on the north side of the canyon. The small figures of other walkers at the northern side lookouts give perspective to the size of these looming red cliff faces. Breathtaking is probably an understatement.

The stairs on the southern side that descend into the Garden of Eden.

Kestrel Lookout

You are now well and truly on the way back. The track continues to wind its way across and through the sandstone domes right away from the canyon. You then arrive at Kestrel Lookout overlooking a large waterfall and rock formation. White stains dot the cliff faces below the nesting sites of Australian kestrels that call this area home.

A bit further along, as you start your descent off the range, another lookout gives you views of the Ranger Station, carpark and the flat expanse of desert country that abuts the George Gill Range.

Back in the carpark, if you haven’t already done it you can resupply and follow the track back in along the floor of the canyon to another lookout. This time you can view those huge cliffs from below.

You can see other people on the northern side of the platform. 

The walking track at Kathleen Springs

Kathleen Springs is about 20 km from Kings Canyon and has a great walking track that is wheelchair accessible for the whole of its 2.6km length. The walk passes old stockyards and other relics of the area’s pastoral history and arrives at a spring-fed waterhole.

As with all significant water supplies in this landscape, the area has special cultural significance to the local indigenous people. Some of their stories and those of the early pastoralists are told along the track with informative signboards.

The track across the plateau on the southern side. 

Things to consider when visiting

Watarrka is a special place with fabulous walks and equally fabulous views from afar at sunset viewing areas. The weather must be considered when doing the walks here as dehydration can be an issue. The parks, in fact, have policies in place about the times you can walk when the temperatures are high.

They stress the fact that there is no drinking water available when you tackle the Rim Walk. Walkers should prepare themselves with good footwear, hat, sunscreen, plenty of water, snacks and a sense of wonder.

A view looking back upstream from the bridge into the garden. 

Access for vehicles

The Park and its accommodation alternatives can all be accessed by 2WD vehicles from Erldunda on the Stuart Highway on good bitumen roads. Meanwhile, 4WDs can access it a number of ways, including the Red Centre Way. April to September are prime times to go as the weather is kinder.

If you want to experience the majesty and beauty of the Red Centre then Watarrka and Kings Canyon should definitely be on your list.

Project 5

For my final project, I wanted to choose a social awareness campaign that not only is close to my life personally, but is close to a lot of people’s lives in the northeastern Ohio region. The opioid epidemic has been all encompassing in the United States, claiming more lives annually than murders and car accidents, but the heart of it is right here in the midwest and appalachia regions, particularly in Ohio and West Virginia. I think the way these campaigns are usually treated isn’t explicitly helpful for their target audience, and they go about displaying their point in a very misinformed and ill-thought out way conceptually. To further my point, I’ve specifically chosen the Know the Risks (Rxs) campaign that Cuyahoga county has launched recently as a PSA and outreach to know the risks of prescription opioids and heroin use. I think it embodies the typical tactics that are used to raise awareness for the opioid epidemic/heroin crisis.

One of the main reasons I think that most campaigns that are supposed to be informative and raise awareness about the opioid epidemic/heroin are ineffective is because they’re heavily centered in shame rather than compassion. The design and marketing reflects this greatly. We’ve seen this exemplified in the release of pictures of overdose victims pre-naloxone, in the way the media has used substance abuse to be divisive, or in how they’ve exploited overdose victims as a way to rocket police into martyrdom. The videography, design work, and sloganeering use shame governance and scare tactics rather than genuinely educational information to deter people from using drugs. I personally think weaponizing compassion and giving honest information and advertising resources that can help addicts is much more helpful.

Know the Risks (Rxs) is a multi-platform advertising campaign to raise awareness to the dangers of taking prescription opioids and how they can lead to heroin addiction. Joe Frolik, former aide to Cuyahoga County prosecutor Timothy J. Ginty, brought forward the idea to launch a campaign raising awareness to the dangers of prescription opioids as the wreak havoc on the area, which lead to the formation of the Opioid Marketing Taskforce. This task force included insight from the Attorney's Office of Northern Ohio spokesman, the communications specialist for the Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner's Office, and the director of system communications for MetroHealth. This task force, coupled with help from local advertising agencies Doner and Global Prairie, designed a complete campaign including informational videos, billboards, phone banks, and half-hour tv specials.

Designs in the Know the Risks (Rxs) campaign are mostly targeted to people who already use or young impressionable kids or teenagers who might use. They are characterized by the use of dark and ominous colors with a bright accent like red or orange, dramatic depictions of tools of use like syringes, spoons, pills, and rubber tubing, and imagery that elude to death like slumped over bodies, skulls and crossbones, and toe tags. This is very ineffective and useless because while the first thing that’s taught in programs that are tailor-made for heroin and opioid detox is that “not changing means death”, susceptible and impressionable children are desensitized to imagery of slumped-over bodies, and people who have already formed habits typically know the consequences of using, especially the extremes. This type of design work seems to be most well-received by the non-using public, and we see how they receive it and how it’s weaponized in shameful ways on social media platforms and in the news. It harkens back to the same tactics that were utilized in the useless, and ever-failing War on Drugs era.

The first piece of advertising work I’m going to critique is a piece that I saw being used multi-purposefully as a graphic for facebook and twitter posts, and also as a billboard on a larger scale. This piece depicts a person in distress, trapped inside what appears to be an oversized pill bottle. The bottle has a red and black sticker on it that reads “May Cause Addiction” with a syringe icon. I definitely see what they were going for, the concept that using prescription painkillers can trap you in addictions clutches. I personally think that using the grim, sorrowful angle is overdone and ineffective. I think that this piece was technically executed well, but is just a typical solution that’s been done a million times. I don’t think it’s useful because it doesn’t inform the reader when the phone bank is open or when the TV news segment is on. It just sends the message that opioids cause addiction, which is already a fairly known and advertised piece of information. Variants of this base criticism I have for each piece I’m going to mention.

The next piece I’m going to critique is a very brief, sixteen second video PSA that Know your Risks (Rxs) released that featured a singular, generic looking painkiller pill that zooms into a formation of pills in the shape of a skull. The pills then transform into a digital illustration of a skull, and beneath it, the text reads “Before you take prescription pills, know the risks”. I have similar criticisms of this one, except I don’t think this one is as technically efficient as the other one. Cleveland.com claimed it was a lot of donated time and effort, so I won’t be as particular about the technical skill, it just looks like student work to me. I also have the same conceptual criticisms as I do about the previous work.

The final piece I’m going to critique is a video that was released by Know the Risks (Rxs) that is a little over a minute long and told the story of a young man who was seemingly happy and ended up dying from heroin that was laced with fentanyl. His addiction started with a prescription to painkillers. I think it’s important to tell the story of people who suffer from addiction that are seemingly happy, successful, and functioning because it doesn’t happen often enough. Addicts are usually demonized and presented as junkies who let heroin turn them into worse versions of themselves, so I really appreciate that this piece was able to relate to a large demographic that is usually ignored. I think that this piece’s design work and videography was well done, arguably the best technical design work in their entire campaign in my opinion. The only criticism I really have of this one is that the informational stills only contain very basic, well-known information about opioids, which seems to defeat the purpose of what the man in the video says the campaign is for. However, I really enjoyed this piece, the design work is less grim and it’s closer to the message I think needs to be sent on the epidemic.

Overall, I think the Know the Risks (Rxs) campaign was well-intended, but they seemed to have piggy-backed the design off of existing movements that aren’t necessarily super successful in relating to users. I will always believe that knowledge is power and communication is an important vehicle for that, but I don’t think their campaign was cohesive and that they missed the mark on targeting the primary audience for education. I think that more harm reduction information needs to be shared, more resources for people who have become addicted need to be listed, and that the design work should be more consistently skilled and high quality. I hope a movement like this emerges in the Ohio Valley and north eastern ohio region because there is definitely a large deficit for it.

( just a quick  personal  thing ( which means, HEYO, you can disagree with me if you want to, wow!! ) because i’ve been seeing it a lot on my dash, both on here and on ginti ( especially on the latter, actually ):

fuckin reblog karma can suck my toe, i’ll reblog what i want, from where i want, and send to whoever the fuck i want.  you ain’t gonna guilt me into sending you shit laddos.  i’m happy to send things at my own pace ( and believe me, i send a lot in, i MAKE things work sometimes so long as i know the person i’m sending it to is cool with it ) but it has to WORK FOR ME.  i’m not gonna send in a prompt if, in my mind, it doesn’t work with my muse(s)/create a scenario that works between our muses.  this doesn’t mean i’m never gonna send anything in to you; it doesn’t mean i’m treating you as a ‘meme resource’; it doesn’t mean i’m lazy, or horrible, or expect memes from everybody else when i don’t send in to you/other people - it just means that prompt doesn’t fuckin’ work. 

also in b4 ‘ but icon prompts!! ‘: imo, it’s definitely different for icon starters/prompts like it takes two seconds to send in a fuckin emoji that asks a question, you can send that shit in regardless, and i do try my best to.  if i don’t, it’s usually because i’ve hit goddamn ask limit.  because i send shit in.

honestly, if you’re that peeved with people having the freedom to reblog from where they want, just block my ass because i ain’t about it mmm. )
