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

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

Why didn't machines turn to animal agriculture? Was there just.. not enough left? Or did no one have the immediate fuel required to set up/maintain a long-term solution like that?

>> I think some tried, actually.

>> The problem there was that most animals have vastly different blood types than humans; the only ones likely to have been able to fully utilize that method would be old prototypes who were still somehow up and running.

>> During the wars, humanity developed the technology to allow human blood to be used as fuel for machines, though the early versions of it largely ran off animal blood, generally from pigs and other livestock. Things sort of turned into a stalemate in this regard once war machines phased out human combatants entirely.

>> ....also, Streetcleaners had a tendancy to burn any organic matter they could find once no one was left to keep them in check, so that hampered efforts a fair amount as well.

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

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-

because sometimes there are invisible tests and invisible rules and you're just supposed to ... know the rule. someone you thought of as a friend asks you for book recommendations, so you give her a list of like 30 books, each with a brief blurb and why you like it. later, you find out she screenshotted the list and send it out to a group chat with the note: what an absolute freak can you believe this. you saw the responses: emojis where people are rolling over laughing. too much and obsessive and actually kind of creepy in the comments. you thought you'd been doing the right thing. she'd asked, right? an invisible rule: this is what happens when you get too excited.

you aren't supposed to laugh at your own jokes, so you don't, but then you're too serious. you're not supposed to be too loud, but then people say you're too quiet. you aren't supposed to get passionate about things, but then you're shy, boring. you aren't supposed to talk too much, but then people are mad when you're not good at replying.

you fold yourself into a prettier paper crane. since you never know what is "selfish" and what is "charity," you give yourself over, fully. you'd rather be empty and over-generous - you'd rather eat your own boundaries than have even one person believe that you're mean. since you don't know what the thing is that will make them hate you, you simply scrub yourself clean of any form of roughness. if you are perfect and smiling and funny, they can love you. if you are always there for them and never admit what's happening and never mention your past and never make them uncomfortable - you can make up for it. you can earn it.

don't fuck up. they're all testing you, always. they're tolerating you. whatever secret club happened, over a summer somewhere - during some activity you didn't get to attend - everyone else just... figured it out. like they got some kind of award or examination that allowed them to know how-to-be-normal. how to fit. and for the rest of your life, you've been playing catch-up. you've been trying to prove that - haha! you get it! that the joke they're telling, the people they are, the manual they got- yeah, you've totally read it.

if you can just divide yourself in two - the lovable one, and the one that is you - you can do this. you can walk the line. they can laugh and accept you. if you are always-balanced, never burdensome, a delight to have in class, champagne and glittering and never gawky or florescent or god-forbid cringe: you can get away with it.

you stare at your therapist, whom you can make jokes with, and who laughs at your jokes, because you are so fucking good at people-pleasing. you smile at her, and she asks you how you're doing, and you automatically say i'm good, thanks, how are you? while the answer swims somewhere in your little lizard brain:

how long have you been doing this now? mastering the art of your body and mind like you're piloting a puppet. has it worked? what do you mean that all you feel is... just exhausted. pick yourself up, the tightrope has no net. after all, you're cheating, somehow, but nobody seems to know you actually flunked the test. it's working!

aren't you happy yet?

listen. i know it's not 2014 anymore and i know it's just a throwaway line and that the russo brothers didnt intend for marvel action blockbuster captain america the winter soldier to become the tragic gay love story that never was but man. having steve say "it's kind of hard to find someone with shared life experience" in a conversation about romantic relationships right before the bucky reveal is so cruel. it's not just about steve and bucky obviously having the shared experience of being "out of time," it's the fact that they've both been stripped of their humanity in opposite directions. steve is a legend, he is an american hero and a national icon before he is a human being the same way that bucky is a weapon and a killing machine before he is a human being. steve knows that anyone who falls in love with him in the 21st century fell in love with captain america first, and that's just not him. but then the one person who knew him first and knew him best and loved him (not captain america, that little guy from brooklyn) so much he died for it is alive, impossibly. and it's a miracle because he's back and it's horrific because he's back under the worst possible circumstances. but to steve, the winter soldier is worth tearing the world apart for because he's always been bucky first. they find each other and suddenly they're human again. and maybe, despite it all, being "out of time" becomes a blessing, because in this century they'd finally be allowed to love each other the way they've always wanted to. like real people do.

like. no. the captain america trilogy isn't about two queer men traumatized and alienated by war and modern life rediscovering and reclaiming their humanity through their love for each other. but. i mean. it couldve been

paramount and spyglass are trying so hard right now to save face because jenna ortega rightfully left the scream franchise after they fired melissa for supprting palestine. nobody is dumb enough to believe the excuse that it’s a scheduling conflict hours after rumors she was trying to get out of her contract cause she was pissed. i’m very thankful that jenna is risking her career and using her position to do the right thing. she’s been outspoken about palestine for years now. i hope this begins a trend of zionist losing money for their support and complacency with an active genocide
