I wrote this poem recently about rumors and just how destructive they are. I have been the victim of rumors on more than one occasion and it is painful that people take pleasure in destroying other people's character for their own twisted pleasure. This poem expresses how rumors are a trap for people with a foolish mind who have given up their independent thought and rush to believe something about someone without a shred of evidence to back it up. When we take something someone said about others at face value and automatically believe it then we have fallen into the trap of allowing others to think for us instead of thinking for ourselves and given complete control over to the person / people spreading it and this puts us in a very dangerous situation to let our minds be dominated by others who don't have our best interest at heart. When it comes to rumors I have observed that people who start them tend to usually have more of a narcissistic way of thinking who take pleasure in watching others suffer and at the same time try to dominate others for their own selfish gain and the people who believe them tend to be followers who don't think for themselves but have allowed others to take captive their mind and this is a very dangerous situation to be in! Please give this some serious thought as you read this poem and ask yourself, Am I guilty of this and do I know what it feels like to be on the receiving end of this? Here is my poem, Enjoy!

Title: "Rumors The Trap Of Fools"

In the land of whispers and deceit, Rumors spread like wildfire, fast and discreet. They can tear down a person's name, Leaving behind nothing but shame. Intelligent minds don't easily sway, They seek the truth, come what may. They delve into the facts with care, Knowing rumors can be unfair. But those who believe without a thought, Fall prey to the lies that they've bought. Narcissists start them for their own gain, Enjoying the chaos, reveling in pain. Fools then carry these tales on, Spreading them like truth at dawn. They've forsaken their minds, now followers blind, Caught in a cycle, toxic, confined. A group of fools, lost in the maze, Believing rumors, their minds in a daze. Unable to break free from the chains, Their thoughts are forever stained with strains. So beware the trap of rumors' snare, For those who believe, it's a road to despair. Seek the truth, be a leader, not a pawn, Break free from the cycle before the dawn.

Mind Trap

There are four types of abuse, physical, sexual, mental, and emotional. The first two are easier to report as generally they leave scars but the last two, especially when coupled with the first two and there are no physical scars, can be the worst determining factor for others to acknowledge. If you have ever been trapped by a narcissist who uses flying monkeys to create a delusional reality to…

Pardon me if I'm stating the obvious, or if this has been discussed before, but I've been thinking about the S2 finale and Cass taking the moonstone again, and I really like the idea that maybe the moonstone responds to will?

I remember when Destinies Collide aired, there was a lot of speculation about how Cass was able to grab it- she reached for it w/ her withered arm so she wasn't harmed, Rapunzel was nearby so its defenses were down, etc.- but the more I think about it, the more I like the idea that the moonstone simply responds to intention.

The moonstone blew Edmund's arm off b/c he wanted to destroy it, the black rock cage around it dissolved b/c Rapunzel reached for it, and Cass was able to seize it because she wanted to make her own destiny. (Maybe you could get spicy and headcanon that the moonstone's cage wasn't even responding to Rapunzel, if she still had any doubts at that point- perhaps it was reacting to Cass' presence?)

It solves the big question mark of why the Brotherhood would devote themselves to guarding a magical item that needs no protection, and why Edmund feared it could be used for evil in the wrong hands. Maybe past DK kings and queens were even able to use the moonstone to build and protect their kingdom, and that's why the DK grew around it.

I feel like the show had the bones for themes of destiny and free will vs. determinism (see: "Crossing the Line" lyrics). The moonstone allowing anyone w/ the capacity to wield it while Rapunzel is imbued with the sundrop from birth seems fitting. And it's true that anyone who sings the incantation can also use the sundrop flower- but as far as we know, the power itself can't be bonded with in the same way, only passed down and inherited.

It parallels Cass and Raps' circumstances- Rapunzel being born into royalty, with her powers, at the center of a prophecy, while Cass has to makes her own way even before she takes the stone.

And I like that as far as AUs go, any character with strong enough motivation and willpower could take the moonstone instead. It jives with how in moon!AUs, the character who takes it often has something they want to make right or something they desperately want to change about their life.

Again, might be too obvious, but I think it's a more interesting/compelling explanation or theory than Cass stealing the moonstone b/c of a window of opportunity or a fluke/loophole.

Mask off for this one. I’m gonna have to freshen my pores with Cass x Hector. The world needs more deranged black haired gnc bob havers just obliterating each other.

YES, TY, TY 😌🙏

fd signifier's new video is soooo good and i think we're finally beginning to see a culture shift where ppl realize how fucked the Algorithm is and the effect social media/cancel culture/mob mentality has had on all of us. cant describe how excited i am that its becoming a thing people talk about seriously in good faith

[bee-snail]

I've brought a sneak peek of chapter 12 of Moonrise mwahaha. Maybe I'll change it. Maybe not. I like it, but I am very brain-fried at the moment so hahahe

[...]

"So... you were planning to use a super powerful, potentially super dangerous talisman on Hector, to control his mind without even knowing if he'll survive it?"

Edmund glares. "I don't think he'd survive either way. Unless Adira miraculously succeeds in convincing him to drop the Moonstone, the Mindtrap is his best chance of survival. Surely you see my point, son?"

Eugene is visibly taken aback. Really? That was his view on things?

"Listen to me, Edmund." Eugene snarls. "You don't know the risks of that thing and by the sound of it, using it on Hector will kill him. Your inaction on me has made me a thief, not a murderer. I'm not gonna sit here and let you treat a person like they're some puppet—"

"But your inaction will make you a murderer either way, because there is no way Hector will drop the Moonstone until he dies holding it."

Eugene hesitates, but quickly regains his resolve. "Hector really wouldn't let go of the Moonstone. But that wouldn't make me a killer, because I didn't make him grab it, nor did I order him to keep it. Letting you use that talisman on him though? That would be inaction. That would be me enabling you to attempt murder on him—"

"He tried to murder me!" Edmund yells.

"Then don't stoop down to his level!" Eugene yells back. "Stop acting like mind control or murder or war or any of that is going to fix anything! Stop acting like a heartless bastard and use your head! I don't want to lose my family! I don't want to lose my only fucking family when I just found out I had one!"

Edmund freezes at his outburst. Eugene stares at him just long enough for him to see the tears he tried to blink away. He then shakes his head, wipes off his unshed tears, turns on his heel and leaves.

Edmund reaches out for him and almost asks him to wait, but quickly pulls his hand back. Hor—no, no. Eugene needed space.

But as reality slowly downs on top of him… hadn't twenty-five years been enough time for space?

Unexpect - "The Shiver: A Clown's Mindtrap" From the album In A Flesh Aquarium (August 22, 2006)

Last song scrobbled from iTunes at Last.fm

[sp0o0kylights]

Steves always felt stuck. 

Slightly out of place, like a character that was supposed to be killed off, but was kept alive instead. 

Adrift with no friends and a family thats absent, Steve wastes most his life working a retro video store in a dying mall. 

Nothing feels real. Has felt real, ever since a party he threw in high school got wildly out of hand. 

Until some guy named Eddie shows up.

Eddie, who slaps down a copy of some former major TV show everyone used to binge.

Eddie, with his wild hair and wilder eyes and an outfit that looks like he himself came out of the stupid 80s show.

Eddie, who worms his way into Steves heart, the only bright spark of his day, and who no one else seems to be able to see.

It's easy to ignore at first. Easy for Steve to dismiss the weird looks and quiet questions--especially when Eddie flirts like he does. 

Kisses up Steves neck in the work closet, whispering assurances that they can be quick. 

Its a little harder when his concussions are brought up. His brain damage diagnosis thrown at him.

That it's his fault that girl drowned. It's his fault he sacrificed her to save himself, even if the lack of oxygen is the entire reason he's different now…

Steve is certain Eddies not a hallucination, or some kind of--imaginary friend.

So sure hes furious with it when confronted--until that night. 

When Eddie sits Steve down and informs him no one else can see him because he is from the stupid tv show.

And so is Steve.

In fact it's not a tv show, its reality and Steve is caught in Vecna's evil mindtrap--except his very real brain damage caused things to go a little differently.

Steves trapped apparently, and El has sent Eddie to go get him--and Steve wants so badly to believe it.

That he's not this lonely. 

That this--dull, friendless, family-less life he's barely living, is the fake one. 

Except….

“So how do I wake up then?”

“That's the hard part, Stevie.” Eddie tells him, thumb running soothing little circles on overheated skin. El thinks you need to drown--just like Barb did.”
