the thing is, 99% of the time, haunted places are pretty boring. in my experience

most of them just...aren't that consistently active? sure, there ARE very active and terrifying hauntings out there! I'm not saying there aren't! but a more realistic horror movie based on most people's experiences would be something inexplicably falling off a shelf every three months or so, and a light that turns on in the middle of the night but affects literally nothing. the residents of the house are used to it. they just don't care

move out? why the fuck would they move out? this house was a steal, and if that means they have to occasionally yell for [insert name family has applied to ghost here] to stop screwing with the ceiling fan, so be it

[fipindustries]

the more i watch this scene the stupider it gets

first of all that is a very trite reading of wittgenstein, which wittgenstein himself refuted years later in his other book "philosophical investigations".

second, the class is supposed to be about mathematics but if anything the tractatus logico philosophicum was talking about language and the guy is talking about cheap 13 year old tier edgy philosophy

third elijah wood says he believes in "Pi" but then goes on to talk about the fibonacci sequence and the patterns and structures in snowflakes which leads me to think he meant to say Phi

and fourth (and this is more of a personal irk) this is an adapatation of an argentinian novel, the character played by elijah wood is supposed to be argentinian but in the movie they made him from the united states and the characters are acting wildly out of character from how they were written in the book, the professor was meant to be a very charismatic and charming old man who took elijah under his wing rather than this old bitter curmudgeon

I just read your jaytim infidelity AU, and what if it was dark!bruce??Bruce had his eyes on Janet's kid for a while, and he was more than happy when Jason became best friends with Tim.

But suddenly, they became boyfriends.

And something in Bruce shifts.

Tim was his. He had wanted him first, and now his son was taking him?

So one night, he fucks Tim, right when he knows Jason would notice too. Jason, heartbroken, won't listen to Tim begging for him to understand. He calls Tim a golddigger and kicks him out.

Bruce, meanwhile, is considered the victim, the one seduced, and he plays the part to a T, even though he doesn't want to insult his beloved Timmy.

And Tim is left in his big empty home, shunned from the only light he had ever known.

☆epilogue idea,,, Tim and Jason meet up in college and try to reconcile but Tim can't stand being around Bruce, his rapist, and Jason just sees it as Tim trying to "amend for his golddigger ways"

dark bruce where rather than feeling guilty for his attraction and slowly and subtly seducing tim by making his attraction pronouned- INSTEAD he takes what he wants, what he always thought was owed to him.

he corners tim when he's alone, paws at his skirt where the slutty little thing isn't wearing any panties- probably something meant to be a suprise for jason. he pins down tim's hands and holds him still as he fucks tim. he slides right in, his cock nice and snug inside tim because of how loosened he was left from jason working off some stress with him earlier.

jason finds them because of course he does, bruce made sure he would. afterall once he got what he'd been aching for since the moment he laid eyes on little timothy drake, he couldn't have tim running and crying to jason, possibly throwing a wrench in their relationship. jason was easy to prime for the 'golddigger' narrative all it took was offhandedly mentioning tim's mother and how tim closely resembled her, hopefully only in looks... and when bruce said that he'd said it with a bit of a resigned tone which immediatly caught jason's interest as he asked about it. and so bruce regaled him with exaggerated rumors and tales about janet drake and how she'd managed to bag jack drake and a life of luxary while also saying something about the prenup that guarenteed her millions if jack tried to leave her. all fake of course. but jason didn't know that and had no interest in socialite circles enough to double check the information. besides it all came from bruce. which meant that anything he said was as good as true in jason's mind.

when jason walks in on them bruce takes advantage of tim's slowed reaction to immediately start his victim campaign. he slurs his words, makes sure to let jason get a smell of the alcohol bruce swished around earlier which immediatly has jason's eyes narrowing in suspicion because he KNOWS bruce doesn't drink. bruce adjusts his body, subtly inching and allowing jason to follow his body's movements until his eyes lock on the two glasses of wine and open bottle.

tim's beginning to sniffle and softly croak out a desperate 'jason'. but jason is indetective mode and doesn't notice, too focused on sniffing and narrowing his eyes on the alcohol.

"these are spiked," he cuts out, frowning deeper. his eyes shoot to bruce who is clearly swaying and tim who is clearly not and desperately looking at him.

bruce wished he could say he felt bad. but it was hard to regret that tight vice of tim's cunt that had milked him of every drop bruce had to offer. bruce's only regret would be not having planned better to have worked in enough time to fuck tim for a few more hours.

jason had many choice words and insults he screamed at a sobbing tim who begged jason to listen to him, that it wasn't what it looked like, that tim was innocent. that bruce does feel bad about. it hurts his heart to see tim cry and be called names.

but bruce had to do it. for appearances sake.

in the end jason all but throws tim's out and threatens him about coming back before coming back and gently guiding bruce down to the cave, murmuring about helping him feel better.

truly bruce had the most loyal son in the world.

bruce is disappointed to learn that tim's parents apparently pull him out of gotham academy and send him overseas to a boarding school.

"good riddance" is all jason bitterly says when he tells bruce but bruce can still detect an underlying tone of pain in his voice. its understandable. tim was jason's first love, the person he lost his virginity to, and the first person to "betray" him.

still. bruce is saddened to know he won't ever see his little timmy around his manor grounds anymore.

bruce thinks of tim often after that. he has a fondess for him and their short sexual encounter in the manor library. bruce still had the tape of it and often watched it, listening to tim's hitched breaths and cries meshed with bruce's groans and curses as he bottomed out in a pussy that was tighter than anything bruce had ever fucked yet took a beating like it was made for it.

bruce missed tim. sometimes he thought of hopping on a jet and visiting his school, following him around some european streets and then dragging him into an alley just to feel the wet slide and throb of his little cunt around his cock again.

but bruce can't. he has responsibilities so is forced to put it out of his mind until years later.

jason is into his fourth year at gotham university and is livelier at dinner. bruce asks why and can see jason hesitate for a moment, look like he's thinking and then slowly say-

"do you remember....tim drake?"

bruce forced himself to not react. he'd feined memory loss of the day jason and tim broke up which he knew jason quietly was happy about. happy that bruce had no memory of his "drugging".

jason goes on to talk about tim. how he ended up crossing paths with tim at the university. how tim was studying photography, hadn't spoken to his parents since he turned 18, and spent most weekends volunteering at a teen crisis center.

"he really seems to have cleaned up his act," jason tells bruce, something soft and...fond tugging at his lips.

bruce quashes down the burn inside him at the sight, instead latching onto every morsel of information about tim.

about how he was back and living in gotham, probably near the university, maybe even living alone...

bruce nods and fakes a smile at jason, agreeing with his little observations.

meanwhile all bruce can think about is tim, his body almost vibrating with need.

the last time bruce had felt like this he thought he was going to go crazy if he didn't act on his desperate desire. and it had worked out last time. bruce had gotten what he'd been wanting from years for tim and now that he was back in bruce's city...

well...maybe bruce should add a patrol route going through gotham university from now on.

Will Solace headcanons

- He's TALL

Like, really REALLY tall, at least for his age, this boy is like 1,82 ( smt like 6'0 with ⅔ of an inch I think?) at the age of fifteen and always has been the kind of kid who was at the end when the lines where from height order.

-The kind of person that gets red like a tomato

He looks like Tinkerbell whenever he gets flushed, especially but not exclusively when he is mad or has been laughing too hard.

-He is the embodiment of a social introvert

He likes spend time with his family and Friends, but he gets drained very easily, sometimes if he can avoid being surrounded by more than a few people or none at all, he isn't hesitating on taking that chance, and for that, he used to love when the cabin was empty of with just one or two of his siblings instead of the little battalion (Ofc he only could find that comfortable when the emptiness just means that all the others were at their daily activities and no that he, Austin and Kayla were the only one to fill the place until a new arrival.)

-Ok with PDA in public spaces if he's dating a girl, but sometimes he is kinda more reserved and discreet if his partner is a boy

Hear me out, he knows that there is nothing wrong with him or his relationship with a person of his same gender, but he has heard the things that some intolerant people are capable of and sees the consequences of it in some summer-only campers (and back at his home too, Remember that this boy is from Texas of all places) and he is terrified of the mere tough, so he's very wary of where or how much PDA displays towards his partner.

-His relationship with Naomi is great, but not really" Mother and son" like, but more "cool rich older friend/sister and bestie/younger brother"

None of them seem to realize or acknowledge that this isn't necessarily a good thing or that can be directly a problem due to the fact that Naomi has this little "eternal teenager" síndrome which is certainly not the best rely-on figure for an ACTUAL teenager.

-Kinda related to the last one, but he was partially/mostly raised by his grandparents

Naomi still being there, but she never quit her musical career which grew exponentially during her pregnancy, so sometimes she was out for a kinda Long time, They're this little southern older and kinda wealthy couple who absolutely love their grandson ( of which they were convinced that was the second mesias or something like a miracle at least due to his really weir birth conditions) Mr, Solace is guilty of wills star wars obsession

-This boy was literally indetectable during his ELEVEN months of gestation,

Naomi entered the hospital thinking that it was a digestive problem and ended up with a baby (that surprisedly for a newborn is pretty, like almost perfect to the point that feels beyond humanity) that looked like this guy whom she had met the past year in a trip to Austin, except that he and her cut the relationship way long before that what a normal pregnancy should be, her family end up convinced that was some kind of God's will and that's why they aren't bothered by Naomi having a child without being married or even in a relationship

- Igaf on what canon says, even if Will isn't usually a fighter, he, like any other demigod has a weapon, o well three

He has a bow, not his preferred one tough, his reaction is a bit too slow so forget about shot at a moving objective, Wich means that is useless when it comes to combat (and even in the archery range he is average or straight up sucks if their siblings are fair comparison), but that leads us to his preferred one for the last year's

Remember that shotgun that is just randomly in the armory? Well, he has his version of it, a Rifle, which is kinda restricted of in use because he can't use that thing for everything, the bullets are one-use-only which is kinda impractical and the mist wouldn't do shit to cover it up ( since that thing is already one of the disguises for the swords in this universe) and how tf are you supposed to explain that a minor has a hunting weapon in a big city?? Yeah- but his aim shines with that baby though

Sadly it has been slowly replaced while Will learns how to use his photokinesis and fulfill his dream of having his own light sable ( Why we are sleeping on the fact that this is just the best weapon to give a star wars fan capable of manipulating the fuckin light?!)

FAQ

Is this about Kira Yoshikage? This is about the international serial killer "Kira" who kills through an indetectable, contactless, remote method. He might be in Japan, though.

Can you put a "Don't know this character/See Results" option? No. This is an active global serial murder investigation and time is of the essence. If you truly don't know who they are, either: look them up, ot just go by what I'm told are called "vibes". Do not default to "Could Not, Would Die" or "Could Catch, Would Survive" simply because you don't know who the character is.

What is the current wait time? About a year, maybe, and counting.

I thought this was for detectives only? We're desperate. Why do you think this is a suicide squad?

How many submissions can I send in one ask? Six. If you go to seven I am deleting the submission without review. Don't even think about attempting eight.

Do submissions need pictures? Not necessarily, but if you want to, make sure it's at the least an OFFICIAL RENDER. I don't like using fanart! (Nothing against fanartists, I just don't want to search something like "Kermit" and get images of strangely muscular frogs (you can imagine the hell I went trying to avoid AI images for Ramona Flowers)). IF YOU ARE SUBMITTING SOMEONE'S FANART FOR A CANONICALLY-UNSEEN CHARACTER (such as, for example, Adolin Kholin), LINK THEIR TUMBLR BLOG SO THAT I MAY CONTACT THEM FOR EXPLICIT PERMISSION.

If a character was already submitted as a standalone/part of a group, can I submit them as part of a group/a standalone? Yes, however you need to wait the full seven days after their poll goes up. In the event that both are submitted in a short amount of time from one another, I shall personally space them out in the queue so that there are at least seven days between them. This is to prevent a situation where, say, Princess Zelda is submitted in quick succession to "The Triforce Wielders" as a group, and you have two polls with Zelda running at once.

Can I submit a real human? No. Pets aren't allowed because they'd sweep, but do not send me video essayists or the like. I will not put them on the blog unless they, themself, send in their name on an official Tumblr account. I fully doubt this will happen, obviously, so simply do not do this.

Can I submit [ANYONE ELSE]? Baby life is short when you're dealing with a guy who can kill from a distance at any time. You should do whatever you like. Submit a guy who can't separate his darks from his lights. Move to a new city. Find a 200 sqft apartment. Get five roommates. Ghost all of them. Start a company that sells leg warmers for dogs. Declare bankruptcy. Move to a different new city. Enter a torrid romance with a guy who calls himself "The Creature". Cheat on him with a different guy who calls himself "Monsieur Beast", a legally distinct entity unaffiliated with MrBeast. Start an electro-flamenco band with both of your exes. Get trapped in a stupid and gay little maze. Fight your way to the castle beyond the Goblin City and take back what has been stolen from you. Eat a lettuce wrap. Move back to your hometown and tell no one.

Hiding Talent

This is just a teaser of something I’m working on for the MW2 fandom. I haven’t played the game just yet. This might not even make it to the final draft of the story but I thought it was cool and I worked kinda hard on making sure it was readable lol.

TW: Cursing

——————————

“Is this a joke?” Price sneered, and the document in his hand fell to the desk with a snap. Price felt as if he had wasted time, coming all the way down from England leaving the task force with the ill-tempered masked man, Lieutenant Simon.

John Price, Captain of an elite multinational task force capable of carrying out missions not even the US army could handle alone, was somehow dragged down to a small American base in the middle of nowhere.

The Lieutenant behind the desk was quick to defend himself. “Of course not. I wouldn’t insult you so boldly as to waste your time, Captain.” The Lieutenant’s voice was calm and precise. He must have practiced this conversation, Price thought. That thought only made him more unsure of the lieutenant's choice. Price squinted his eyes down at the man sitting so comfortably in his seat, “You have a vendetta against this child?”

“No, Sir”

“Then what is it? I only came here because you said you had something special and all I see on these papers is a child. Only a four-year contract, still in uni, no field training, barely scraped by in basics, and hasn't even finished their contract. This is more than insulting to me and my team and what they do.”

“That is how they want people to see them.” As soon as Price paused, the Lieutenant spoke.

“What is that supposed to mean?” ,snapped Price.

“They don’t want to be seen, " continued the Lieutenant, "they don’t want to be special. That is why I chose them. Iv learned that if you give them the right incentive, they flourish and exceed expectations. That program my superiors gave you a few months ago, that's the only reason you agreed to come so far to meet me. Isn't it?”

“Correct, I was informed you were responsible for it.”

“They made it.”

Price blinks at the lieutenant. The corner on the lieutenant's mouth twitched, threatening to stretch into a smile.

“Pardon?” Price asked

....

That was the conversation that led to Price being face to-face with a shaking leaf. Clutching at the straps of their duffle bag to ground themselves as eyes the size of the moon stared back up at him. The program that ‘screwed them over’ as the shaking leaf liked to say, was a bloody work of art in the information industry. The program was indetectable on the computer. Impossible to remove and, so far, impossible to get past. Moreover, it made the computer invisible, anything the user touched was untraceable. Emails, logins, and even users' Facebook pages were hidden. The only damn problem was even the damn code for the program seemed to be invisible, the only proof of it’s existence was a small thumb drive. That was the only reason that the human equivalent of a scared rabbit was there, standing in front of the door to their new room. That was the only reason Price agreed to a one week test. The damn cocky lieutenant was so sure of his choice that he had paid for the rabbit’s plane ticket and weeks worth of room and board.

Price only gave them a balaclava.

“See you at o-nine hundred hours bright eyed and bushy tailed, Rabbit” Price snickers before leaving the soldier to get settled in the barracks.

A soft shaky “I'm so fucked.” is the only thing Price heard as he walked away.

[apas-95]

what do you like about it? reads a bit too technical honestly

I think that's kinda the point, that it's an incredibly technical anomaly being worked on by proper scientists, which in any other context would be the most important discovery of the millenium - but one which, in the context of the foundation, isn't seen as important.

To me, it's basically 'what if a Liu Cixin story took place in the SCP universe?' and the answer is 'it's impossible to convey the importance of an incredibly complicated and technical matter to the people funding your research when that funding could be going to containing something a lot easier to understand, like a big lizard'. In the vein of Liu Cixin, it also places humanity in a very insignificant position - it's not that trillions of two-dimensional universes willingly destroyed themselves to send a minute, nigh-indetectable signal to us three-dimensional humans; their message for us was 'now you do the same, pass this on' - and even then, we weren't just to pass this on to four-dimensional beings or eventually to ten-dimensional beings, but 196,884-dimensional beings. Whatever we were being asked to sacrifice ourselves for is entirely beyond our comprehension. It mirrors the exact sort of existentially-miniscule you feel when you learn about things like the Monster Group, or about sorting algorithms that only optimise in 700+ dimensions.

Whatever these two-dimensional civilisations knew that was important enough to all independently come to the conclusion that destroying their own universes was worth the miniscule possibility of sending out a signal, whatever they *needed* to communicate, will be ignored by us, because, at the end of the day, they constitute a barely-anomalous rock posing no danger to anything, and studying that rock shut down, for decades, a whole sector of a site that also houses things that could end the world in so many different ways that the Foundation had to draw up a classification table. The only people with the specialised knowledge to understand and fervently care about it all disagree with each other, and the item only ever gets brought up in meetings discussing its budget alongside dozens of other completely inconsequential objects.

I don't think 2637 is the best SCP article ever made, but I think it's good, and underrated.

The Person I Admire The Most (by Jason Todd)

The Person I Admire The Most

By Jason Todd

6th grade Language Arts

Mrs. Smith

The person I admire the most in the whole world, is Wonder Woman. Wonder Woman is very strong and she helps people alot. I think she is very cool. She is an Amazon, which is a female warrior from Greece, but she left her island of all woman warriors to help save the world. And now, she is in the Justice League. She actually helped create it!

She is well known for her compassion and diplomasee diplomacy, but she can also crush steel with one hand, Just like Superman! I admire Wonder Woman the most! I want to be just like her when I grow up!

Diana saw her tears soaking into the page before she had even registered that she'd been crying. Snuffling, she rubbed them from her eyes and looked back to Bruce. His eyes were just as watery as hers and he looked awful. It was a disconcerting to see from the otherwise stoic Batman.

"We found it when we went through his things," he explained, voice ragged, "I thought you might like to have it." Suddenly it was unreasonably hard to breathe.

"Robin." She didn't know if it was a statement or a question, but images of that sunny child that had visited the watchtower only a few weeks ago, flooded her mind. He had been so excited to meet her he had tripped over his own feet. He had never stopped talking either, he wanted to know about her, and her homeland. He had rambled about how excited he was for school and how happy he was living with Bruce. The man had had to practically drag the kid out of the watchtower. It was almost hard to believe that such a sweet kid-

Bruce had only told them the news two days ago.

Diana looked back at the paper, wiping her eyes to prevent anymore stray tears from marring the precious surface, and flattened the creases, holding it close to her chest. They had already missed the funeral. It was hard to blame Bruce though, even if that didn't stop the inkling of hurt that lingered hot in her chest, the man looked terrible.

"I-" she started, her voice shaking. "Can I hug you?" She was expecting a no, maybe a signature Batman grunt as he turned and left, but that didn't happen. To her surprise, Bruce shook. A nearly indetectable tremor passed through his body and he pitched forward into her arms. Diana barely had time to safely stow the paper before Batman was sobbing in her arms.

Before Bruce was sobbing in her arms.

But she was sobbing too.

And she knew they both needed this.

So Diana held the Dark Knight as he fell apart, and they mourned the brightest child either of them had ever known.

[skaldish]

I saw your post about being nice when you don't feel nice and I was wondering if you could expand on that. I have a relatively new (couple months) roommate who's been home for the last 5 days and I haven't gotten any alone time and it's driving me crazy because I'm used to having the house to myself most of the time. And I have to mask all the time around this roommate because they laugh at me and are in general really overstimulating. And I am falling back into maladaptive old habits and trying really hard not to hurt myself because that's the only way I know how to self regulate when I'm this overstimulated and I've been masking for the last five days straight and I feel like I'm about to fall apart. And my therapist retired recently enough I haven't found a new one and I haven't had a therapy session since december and I don't know what to do anymore

In my experience as an Autistic person, kindness is difficult if not impossible when you're in constant pain.

People typically think of "pain" as bodily aches, stings, and throbs—as something inflicted through your sense of touch. They may also throw "emotional pain" into the definition, but that's about it.

On top of those two things, I can also experience pain-inducing tastes, textures, smells, sights, and sounds. These pains are a different physiological experience, but the fact they distress and traumatize my brain exactly the same way is how I know it's pain as opposed to disapproval.

(I can also experience the kind of pain that comes with certain foods causinf indetectable inflamation in all my cells. Imagine living your life with your body in an iron maiden.)

Sensory overload causes pain. Rejection causes pain. And pain compromises how we interact with the world, including our ability to be pleasant with people. Pain makes us want to scream.

Your brain is engaging with old habits because it's trying to protect itself. This is biological adaptation at work, not a moral failing on your part. Your brain learned from past experiences that doing XYZ behavior can make this kind of pain stop. It takes a special kind of therapy to retrain these behavior patterns, as well as changing your environment so it's no longer painful, so don't blame yourself for not being able to brute-force it. We can't override our survival adaptations, only retrain them.

It can take a long time and a lot of trial and error, but it's worth it.

(These days I compromise for no one when it comes to my environment. My theory is that autistic people are built for living at night [and that our senses are probably what protected our species before we domesticated dogs, but that's an aside], so I tailor my environment to never be much louder than 4am. And this is just one example of what I do to reduce pain exposure.)
