What if the grave (dirt pile thing) in Midnight Motorist is Elizabeth’s body and not Evan’s? Idk if I actually think this yet but my evidence is:

1) You can’t just take home a corpse from the hospital, which is probably where Evan was when he died, even if you really want to. I don’t think they’d let you take home your dead son’s corpse and bury it in the woods. There’s always grave robbing, I guess, but why dig up your kid’s body if you’re going to just bury it in the woods when you’re done with it?

2) Elizabeth probably couldn’t be reported dead because she was killed by William’s child-killing robot that the police cannot know about, so she was probably reported missing. Then William couldn’t just magically produce her body to be buried in a cemetery so he probably would have had to bury her himself, in some random inconspicuous location.

This does imply that Elizabeth died before Charlie (bc I’m pretty sure “Later that Night” is later on the night he killed Charlie. It’s raining both nights and that is the extent of my evidence.) so I’m not sure if I believe my own nonsense but it’s just something to think about.

Also shoutout to my friend who has the exact same vision as I do.

hey do you think the reason progressive was in scandinavia was because they were looking for socialist. do you think they saw the body and ran to it, hoping it wasn't who they thought it was even though deep down they knew. do you think they cried over socialist's corpse bleeding out on the pavement. do you think they realized that life would feel empty without their partner. do you think that's why they didn't fight back when commie killed them. do you think the last emotion progressive felt before dying was relief, because they'd be able to see socialist again. do you think

ooooO I’m very curious about your ideas regarding Eon and Strykore’s roles in your AU!!

Read this over and realized how cornball it is but whatever its like. Skylanders and I can do whatever I want

Skylanders Superchargers AU

- Kaos gets kicked out of his own Kastle after Darkness replaces him with his own mother as emperor. Finding out he was only a figurehead for the darkness. (After Pushing the button, reluctantly) Leaving him stranded on an isle in his torn emperor gowns, broken crown and without his mark of darkness. Without any semblance of being able to use magic.

- Kaos is helped by Flynn and housed in his airship, the people fear him. Cali is paranoid, Hugo avoids him. So Kaos keeps to himself, regretting firing Glumshanks even more after finding out that he’s dead. And now that the inevitable destruction of all of Skylands is his fault. Flynn tries to cheer him up, awkwardly. Kaos is put off by these attempts, not eating the enchiladas or even leaving the room for a long while.

- Kaos warms up a bit after some missions, and having to help around the ship. Being socially inept, but more so weirded out that the Mabu trio dont mind him after a while, even acting kindly towards him. He still misses Glumshanks, but feels a bit warmer confiding just a little in the three Mabu. Still giving the cold shoulder to all skylanders though.

- He finds that he’s able to preform magic still, albeit less powerful than before. Kaos becomes more and more determined to regain a status as most powerful Portal Master. Now with the Mabu trio’s help when he reaches a sore point. He still has a tone as if he wants to take over Skylands at the end of all of this, but his words are much different then before. More focused on just getting rid of the darkness, and much more appreciative and even a bit nicer.

- A confrontation with his mother, nearing the end of the journey, he just, hates her unabashedly now. The ‘betrayal’ is praised by Kaossandra once again but Kaos berates her. The woman looking shocked as Kaos fights her, the Skylander tasked to survive all the debris, and find the rift engine. Said rift engine originally used to trap the darkness has a new prisoner now when the fight is over. Eon stares on, watching after giving the skylander one last speech before the final battle begins.

- Kaos, arms torn and magic weakened. Still dares to take on the darkness with only the skylander by his side. Eyes glowing white with unbridled rage, maybe hope, a passion. Eon cant just sit back and watch, like he does every time. And decides to jump in the fight before Kaos gets too injured. Disappearing once again, this moment lets Kaos/The Skylander serve a final blow to the Darkness. “Banishing” him.

- With Eon and the Darkness gone, Kaos slams onto the isle below. The Skylander and Mabu running up to see if he’s even still alive. He is, but there are large black, scars along his arms that trail up to a veiny scar on his back. Almost resembling the mark of darkness.

- Nobody is there to rule, the top sensei and skylander veterans take charge. Kaos soon having enough trust to have a say in things. Glumshanks returns, being less of a servant and more of a friend.

- The search for Eon never stops, though there are people saying they’ve seen him. They never get his appearance right. So they’re assumed to be lying.

- Its found out long after, that the darkness took Eon’s old body, and was able to harness it fully. Becoming Strykore.

- During Kaos’s time helping Skylanders academy. Strykore attempts to overthrow him, being defeated a bit quickly due to not being able to control Eon’s powers over the skylanders and Eon’s old body now finally aging. Without the core of light’s blessing keeping him alive due to the darkness’s grasp on him.

- Eon dies shortly after Strykore is Defeated. The darkness being sealed in the Ultimate Kaos trap, and that being sealed in Moneybone’s dimensional traptanium cage. Not the most optimal or permanent solution, but until a better option provides itself its all they have.

- Kaos and Eon have a short discussion before he passes, Eon telling him how proud he is of Kaos. How he’ll make a great leader, to take care of them all, and himself. Kaos cries, simply letting Eon speak.

- A statue is built in remembrance of Eon. And Kaos is officially the new ruler of Skylands. He’s actually pretty good at it, (Glumshanks is there to help along with the Mabu trio)

btw what the heck should we even call this AU I feel like that would be a good idea if I keep posting about it? Any ideas other than like superchargers au lol

ive been making up past hunger games victors as a hobby and inventing district culture is fun.

i made up a wedding tradition for district 8 where girls will save spare scraps of fabric and ribbons and whatever over their youth and sew it into a wedding dress which will then be unstitched and turned into a marriage quilt <3 and the boys save up to buy an expensive piece of ribbon that the fiancee will use as a girdle for her wedding dress <3 like the girdle of aphrodite or venus ig since panem is neo roman. adaptation of a girl’s hope chest and a wedding ring<3

i gave district 1 an informal caste system :3 its very evil. everyones trying to get to the highest caste but the highest caste isnt even good! its a potemkin village so that when capitol citizens visit for business they dont see any poor people ew

also the training centres of districts 1, 2, and 4 are called a ludus (plural ludi i suppose?) because neo roman :P its also very evil its like what if we got all the school bullies and made them fight each other for the chance to fight and beat a bunch of starved 14 year olds

ALSO LEGACY TRIBUTES katniss mentions the children of victors are suspiciously reaped a lot, plus gloss n chasmere in the 75th. so in 1, 2, and 4 i think this could translate beautifully into fucked up hunger games dynasties #generational trauma. its like those insane american footballers who raise their sons into The Football but it just makes them alcoholics with CTE

In Breaking Bad season 5 episode 15, Walt is on the run from the authorities after his identity as Heisenberg comes to light. He flees to New Hampshire. The first episode of season 5 (which starts with a flash-forward to after Walt returns home from NH) is titled "Live Free Or Die."

Now, we know that BrBa has taken a lot of inspiration from The Sopranos. Like, for instance, Juan Bolsa is literally just 'Johnny Sack' (which is the name of a character on the Sopranos), in Spanish.

Episode 6 in season 6 of the Sopranos is also titled Live Free Or Die, and it also deals with a character fleeing to New Hampshire after his secret gets blown. Except, his big secret is that he's gay. (Sidenote, he changes his name to Vincent aka - Vince)

Anyway, now that we've established all that, in this essay I will-

Oh look, it seems like there's a Republican-led movement to purge voter rolls in the lead-up to the election! It's almost as if your vote matters and they don't want you to vote! Anyway, I whipped up a quick map (based on this) that shows when the voter registration deadline is in each state. There are a few deadlines coming up in the next week or so.

If you live in a state that regularly purges voter rolls for infrequent voters (the orange ones in the first map), or if you moved recently, it's good to check if you're still registered to vote.

Vote.org makes it super easy to check your registration: https://www.vote.org/am-i-registered-to-vote/

Just put in your address and DOB and they'll tell you whether you're registered. (And they give you a quick link to register online if it turns out that you're not! Only the 9 states in white on my map don't have online registration, and for those they provide instructions on how to do it via mail or in person.) If you want an extra verification, find your state's election website and double-check there.

So yeah, give yourself peace of mind -- do a quick check. :)

"dolphins are completely evil" I actually don't think we should assign human morality to animals with no concept of law or civilisation with an intelligence roughly equating to that of a toddler
