"Are you sure you want to turn up the volu-"

YES! I need to consume the music. I must become one with with the soundwaves. I am the music, and the music is me. My eardrums are a measly obstacle that prohibit me to simply inject the wiggly lines into my veins.

As per usual, it’s DP crossover with (probably) DC, although you could probably adjust it for other fandoms

ANYWAYS

A little kid and his mother are trick or treating in another city, perhaps at some kind of event rather than knocking on doors, and the kid is dressed as Phantom. It’s very adorable, with his little ghost-shaped bucket and clearly homemade and already stained costume—listen, white only works if you can just fly over street grime or phase it out of your clothes—and his slightly I’ll fitting wig. The kid is SO happy to be out and about dressed as his favorite, and maybe even showed it off to Phantom back in Amity Park before his family left.

The hero, insert whoever you wish here, is probably in civvies and just enjoying the event. The kid, meanwhile, is so glad when people ask who he is so he can explain, and so- the hero gets to hear ALL ABOUT the local town hero who is probably pretty small time despite the kid’s clearly exaggerated stories. The hero certainly never heard of him, but the kid’s mom confirms that Phantom really was the town hero, despite some mixed reviews of the poor guy.

“Did you manage to show him your costume?” the hero asks.

“Yeah! We went down to the cemetery to leave flowers and I got to show him my costume.”

Wait. Cemetery? Maybe it was part of theme, because Phantom had to be named that for a reason, but… it sounded like…

The kid ignores the suddenly VERY still hero and instead turns to his mom. “Momma, do you think we should bring him candy? He doesn’t get to trick or treat like we do, and I can work super hard to get him a bunch!”

The kid’s mom just smiles. “We could, but maybe we should bring him something homemade. I bet he’d like something more filling, teen boys like him have a hollow leg.”

The kid wrinkles his nose. “Like Vernie with the pizza bagels?”

“Like your cousin, yes. We can make some cinnamon rolls and take them to his memorial, maybe bring some of the apples from your grandpa’s garden…”

The hero is pretty much forgotten as the two-part family wanders off, not quite intentionally forgetting the hero is there so much as the hero somewhat accidentally ended the conversation when they just froze and didn’t ask anything further.

Not that the hero didn’t want to. But they’d learn something very serious.

One—there was a small town hero they’d never heard of. Two—that hero was apparently a teen. Third—most pressingly, the teen hero was both beloved enough to have kids dressing up as him and dead enough to have a grave.

This… might require some phone calls.

[bunnihearted]

lately i've been finding it so so hard to be positive and hopeful. and it's making me so bitter and hateful. i hate it but i dont know what to do about it

[pagesofkenna]

I just queued a post where I said this in the tags but I wanna say it again as a real post: shout out to the Neverafter production team for both a) including misophonia warnings in the trigger warnings list, and b) keeping the most common misophonia trigger sounds out of the actual episodes

I think everything they'd included a warning for so far has been SFX added in post, and only played for a few seconds. they've been things like fly buzzing and water sounds, things that can bother me (and perhaps did bother other people) but only if prolonged. there have been no prolonged gross mouth sounds, no squelching or chewing

and in a run of episodes with a recurring chewing gum joke!!! they literally faked chewing gum on camera, and the audio was minimized (if there was any sound at all; I don't remember) and the players' visual triggers cut short

(for context, I had to stop listening to one of my favorite actual play podcasts of all time years ago because the GM introduced an NPC who chewed gum. I usually only glance at the screen while watching Critical Role because there's often at least one player chewing something the whole game, and though you can't hear it sometimes the visual trigger is so hard to ignore)

I remember seeing Sam de Leve's name in the credits for ACoFaF, working as the set accessibility coordinator, and they're someone I know is aware of misophonia issues and takes care to limit potential triggers in their actual play work. they might've helped the production staff develop misophonia accommodations, or it could have been someone else, or maybe the team is just more aware of this issue now (I feel like misophonia awareness is at an all-time high)

not that there have been any particularly horrible misophonia triggers in the past (that I can remember), but. I just remember seeing misophonia listed as a potential trigger for the first episode, and being both excited to see it recognized, and nervous to have to need it, and then excited again when the sounds ended up being so minor. love having sound design work that doesn't actively punish me for wanting to watch their show

my nephew drew me and my cat. and shadow the hedgehog. and he wrote my name n all (he only recently learned how to write properly from what i've seen)

[soullikethesea]

Things *are* settling down. Good stuff! My floor is finally fixed. I found a new subrenter and so far we've arranged a lot for it and she already signed and paid. The apartment is coming together. <3

And... I'm realizing that Mae feels really close. It might be why I hated the exercise stuff that I've been obsessed with for years now... (I did end up going and it was really sad).

And... it might be why I just splurged and ordered a pair of running shoes, sports socks + cheap wired earbuds. Mae used to be super into running when I was just old enough that I was allowed to leave the house by myself in the city, which was around 11 years old. I went for runs in the nearby park - nothing fancy and I had no idea what I was doing. I just knew that it helped. And when I was mad or sad, I could run. Even if it was just for a little while and nowhere near 5k or whatever counted as "actual running" in my book.

So yeah. An experiment. I doubt that I'll stick with it, but it's good to have options and if I won't use the shoes for running I can still use them for hiking.

Between Miorine and Suletta, which one gets drunk, asks if the other is single, and then cries when they say no?

Actually scratch that it’s obviously Miorine.

[stealthatsweater]

In light of recent events...

maybe people writing Ateez smut need to not just keep warning 'minors DNI'

but now add:

'San DNI' to the list.

Dw if this is not allowed butttttt if i may ask flutters my eyelashes, which if your ocs has gone through the most emotional turmoil would you say? (No obligation ti answerrrr)

HAIIIII GOOPYYY WAVING AT YOU EXCITEDLY

Hmm I've gotta say Momo, which I'm sure was the expected answer! I'm gonna ramble juust a little bit :3 about why I think of her specifically over the rest of my characters, besides the fact that im momopilled 24/7! Momo suffers from veeryy black and white thinking. I guess you would call it her character arc... now that i think about it. She has to overcome that and confront that things are never that simple... which leads to a lot of emotional turmoil, of course!
