~Ram Dass, Be Here Now (1971)

Ya know when people told me "when you're finally safe enough that you can leave survival mode and start to let go of and process your c-ptsd/trauma things are probably going to get really, really bad before they slowly start to get better" I thought that was reasonable. I did not understand that by "things are going to get bad" they meant "you're going to find yourself in the worst mental state of your entire life, but dw, that means it's working" and tbh I simply wish someone had been more clear.

God this story is gonna be the end of me. I'm a die-hard cat lover and I've literally cried several times while reading this because it reminded me of my poor little Zelda-Belda who has gone ahead from this life and is now waiting for me from beyond the horizon.

PUNCHES FOR EVERYONE

Me: hm, I want something to put on the TV as background noise... Huh. Looks like YouTube is recommending something called The Last Unicorn. That's perfect, it's probably some old shitty animation that has aged poorly! I can watch it ironically!

Me, 2 hours later as the credits roll: *crying, cheering, buying the book, composing the songs*

Me, 2 weeks later: So I have compiled all of the quotes from the book that I think could make good tattoos, and also, HOW HAVE I NEVER LEARNED ABOUT HOW THE LAST UNICORN FUCKING SLAPS??? This gay-ass little fairytale fed my soul! Watered my crops! Transed my gender! Can't believe I heard of this story from youtube recommendations, of all places!!

nobody is more delusional than reddie fans. somehow, the ENTIRE fandom decided that eddie kaspbrak is alive and well, despite the fact that his death was written in the novel almost 40 years ago, and i hardly ever see reddie content/it content awknoleging that eddie is dead. we all just pretend that never happened.

I absolutely refuse to accept any of these voices tbh. I may be spoiled by the heresy audiobooks and voice actors on yt, but it's so underwhelming. Johnathan Keeble is the absolute king (except for Angron but we're gonna move past that). Even the 40k TTS voices are leagues better than this and it was just a silly yt series.

All that being said, it's just a mobile game and some of them aren't even that bad. Obviously the cinematics/trailers are a lot better but that's to be expected. Tl;dr these will never be how the primarchs sound in my head, but it doesn't really matter

Primarchs' Canon Voices

I don't think enough of us have heard the canon voices of the Primarchs so I made a supercut of all of them from the Horus Heresy: Legions game trailers and 40k cinematics.

(might have messed up a couple but I have them solid for the most part)

I’m rereading some of the idw Sonic comics, and God damn these pages are so good.

Just a brief moment of hesitation before deciding to risk infection for a chance at closure.

The fact that he can’t speak or make facial expressions, but you can still see the existential dread he’s felling when it doesn’t work.

Metal was willing to die just to see if he was alive

happy birthday to the cat lover ever of all time... my worstie matoba seiji 🐈‍⬛🐈

[derpyfins]

YEAHHHHHHHH BUDDY!!!!!

I SURE HOPE THE DRACULA DAILIES ARE ALL SIGNED UP FOR DICKENS DECEMBER

For all who celebrate Christmas, like Charles Dickens, or love it when ghosts psychologically torment capitalists into giving away their money!

The original book is a short read, easy to condense into a one month substack, and includes 100% canon things like

Scrooge cutting to the chase and telling someone to go to hell

A threat to swallow a toothpick

Past, who is described as the size of a small child, physically manhandling Scrooge around like he’s a wet cat

Present having Spooky Scary Children

Yet to Come being heavily implied to be able to talk to people in their brains/to have psychic powers

Roasting

so much roasting

get his ass

pudding!

I know we all know the story, but there are probably at least a few surprises that have slipped by you if you haven’t read the original. Even if you have, book clubs are fun. Consider partaking in the ghostly attack therapy session for the worst man in the world. It’ll be fun
