Supernatural Cops
The fandom has come to the conclusion that all kinds of supernatural or unusual things happen in Amity Park and people take it like any other Tuesday.
Still, I wouldn't be surprised if this place is the only place in the country (not to say the world) that has a police division in charge of handling Cults…
Yes, in Amity Park there is a group of police (not to say half of all the police in the city) that are dedicated to controlling cults and their peculiarities, because we must remember that, despite the reputation of being a tourist trap, this town in the middle of nowhere has the reputation of being the most haunted place in the country (or the world), so it wouldn't be crazy to say that on certain dates of the year many "tourists" (cough cultists cough) arrive who come in order to do "events" (cough rites cough), so whether they want it or not, someone has to control that the limits on how they are "celebrating" are not broken… and to top it off, the limits of what the city considers acceptable is a greater margin than other places, so it has become common for some groups to come back later.
So yes, Amity Park has one of the most effective police departments in dealing with cults and supernatural beliefs, not only are they effective in identifying participants, most of the time they know what kind of cultist they are dealing with, whether they are just playing a game or are the real magic business and how dangerous/troublesome they will be in the end.
What's more, this group is so good at what they do, that many times the inhabitants of Amity Park prefer to call them instead of the GIW (they are too destructive and there is still no 100% reliable insurance that will pay for the damages they cause), when it comes to a problem with a ghost and the ghost child is not around.
and that competition is more noticeable when other cities in the country begin to ask for help with some unknown cults that are appearing rap
#danny phantom#dp x batman#dp x dc#batman#amity park#cryptid amity park#everybody from amity park is overly conpetent#Amity Park police have a secret relationship with Phantom#The Mayor would not approve of the police supporting a ghost#Many of the investigative books that the police use come from Phantom#They are the only group of adults that many teenagers in the city trust#They are the ones who clean up after the ghost fights#They also prevent the destruction of the city#Cultists often visit Amity Park#There are specialized stores to sell ritual ingredients in Amity Park#Someone adapted and rented some unused land in the cemetery for rituals#The waiting list can take months for some places#There are auctions for renting the place on dates like Halloween or the solstice#The police have thermos that are given and collected by the Fenton boy or his friends#The entire cult department of the police is hidden from the mayor#Most of the police do not trust him Mayor#Amiry Park was used to get rid of some overzealous or troublesome cops from other cities#At first those cops wanted to come back#now they don't want to leave#Silent war between Amity Park police and the GIW

Noodles and Tea’s work inspired me fr
#phineas and ferb#gravity falls#perry the platypus#bill cipher#crossover#heinz doofenshmirtz#major monogram#great googly moogly#And at this one stand there was this forest service guy#and he was selling these really amazing muffins#they had Dunkleberries and EVERYTHING they looked delicious but they had nuts in them so I didn’t buy them#(I’m not allergic or anything I just think that there is a time and a place where you don’t put nuts in food#like seriously this thing was STUFFED with pecans and I was like that’s gonna ruin the flavor! Pecan…. that’s a really weird word you know#like try saying it out loud a couple times. Pecan.. peCHAAANs. Pea-can. hm. hm.#anyway)#but this guy had some other really random junk lying around so I decided to take a look and I actually found something really msyerious!#there was this book with a big ‘2’ on it and I couldn’t find the other ones so I was like hey where’s the rest of these and he was like#we already sold them off and I was like WHAT that’s so crazy#like if you’re gonna sell a set of books#WHY would you sell each one separately cuz that would really suck to just like#start in the middle of a series or get hooked and never be able to continue it#and I was pretty wary anyways cuz it looked so CRYPTIC and WEIRD#but he said he’d give it to me for 92 cents and baby that’s a STEAL#couldn’t NOT take it#I mean it sat around on my desk for months and I mainly just used it as a paperweight until one night#they stopped broadcasting America’s Got Talent on my channel and out of SPITE I decided to find a way to defy American Tradition#and read a book#….what? ohhhh you though I was gonna build an inator over this#no at the time I was already working on a Tuesday Inator that would force every Calendar in the Tri-State area to always have every day#as Tuesday so I could ALWAYS have a discount on tacos! do you know how OVERPRICED those things are when they’re not on Tuesday?

me, veins popping out of forehead, teeth gritted with rage as I watch Marnie stand in front of her microwave for three hours instead of taking five minutes to sell me some hay for my starving animals: wow Stardew Valley is so.... fun and relaxing......
#lowkey hilarious that concernedape added a book you can buy to use her shop whenever#LIKE BRO WHY DID YOU MAKE HER SCHEDULE SO INFURIATING IN THE FIRST PLACE#and if you talk to her she'll be like 'did you need something :)?'#YES MARNIE I FUCKING NEED SOMETHING I NEED YOU TO SELL ME SOME HAY#also the catalogue is pretty useless bc by the time you get it its like. you basically have everything you need already#but thats just my experience#concernedape: im going to make an npc schedule so infuriating#sdv#also for some reason it just ignites volcanic rage to watch not only marnie but also robin just blithely walk past you standing at the till#to go to jazzercise or whatever#LIKE I AM 100% OF YOUR INCOME I THINK YOU COULD SPARE FIVE MINUTES#everyone talks shit about Pierre but at least when you finish the community center he's open 7 days a week lmao#and at least when hes closed on Wednesday hes CLOSED. so you dont spend god knows how long standing there waiting#just for him to swan past you like you aren't there -_-#pierre i appreciate your clearly posted schedule.

Me: Off I go! To Christmas-shop and buy all the presents for people who are NOT me and who mostly do not want books!
Me coming home 5 hours later with a stack of twelve books in my arms: now how did this happen
#in my defense: 3 of them are manga for my nephew who did specifically ask for these books#3 of them are library checkouts#half of them however are in fact books for me because truly god forbid I go somewhere and not find a book that interests me for $3 or less#EVEN WHEN THAT PLACE IS A DAMN BARNES&NOBLE*#*it's the good one. with the annex that sells used books. mostly for half cover price but eventually those prices#get sticker-tagged down to 50 or 75 percent off and as low as one dollar (in this day and age!) and I found one of each#and then of course there was the library sale corner AND THEN like those prices weren't low enough tehre is also the library free cart#meanwhile I only managed to find one other actual present... (but I know where and what I'm getting for 3 more;#it's just 1 store closed earlier than expected and at the other I realized I'd forgotten to check what size husband wears (DOH!)

also! i found myself a used copy of dracula!!
Omg! I also have a used copy of Dracula! picked it up for 3 dollars a few months ago on a little bookstore date with my partner. there was also an illustrated edition of the book and I took a picture of the depiction of Van Helsing:
i hope you enjoy your book!
#quil's queries#xanadaus#dracula#dracula daily#abraham van helsing#this man knows how to kill vampires but won't tell anyone until halfway into the story#i literally love used books so much#i love preloved stories#places that sell only new books are so weird to me now. like the vibes feel off when I walk in#i walk into the barnes and novle and my local mall and take 1d8 psychic damage#the only things I've bought from there are spanish translations of twilight books#because those are harder to come by at my local used bookstore#and once I grabbed an italian translation by mistake#but otherwise I just look at all those books and go where is the love? this is a product this is soulless where are the gentle creases#and rubbed edges#loved used books so much#and they're such a great deal too!#anyway

Austria coming in with another masterful execution of law!
Now that the covid mask mandate isn't valid anymore we revert back to a law that got approved in 2019 I think... Its a law that prohibits you from masking your face! (literally just made bc of Islamophobia)... So now it's illegal in Austria to wear a mask in public! But also at the same time required to wear a mask if you tested positive! And when your in like a hospital and retirement homes! So now if you wanna wear a mask you need a doctor's note so that you are allowed to in public! :D
#Public includes stuff like trains and busses. University. Most Workplaces.#Not like it's still also a good idea to wear a mask even if you just have a cold or sth so you don't infect ppl etc#It's literally so dumb... Like last year it was still 'its illegal to not wear a mask' now it's illegal to do that?? What???#The law was a dumb law from the start they should have just removed it or at least work on removing it#I really hope the votes next year get our politics more normal again bc it was just absolute chaos the last few years#One dude tried to sell Austria to the Russians or sth like that and then that other dude took over and#Then ppl said that dude is also corrupt so there was an investigation and stuff so someone else took over#And then I think they didn't find something so a few other parties called to get him out of office and then he just quit I think or was#Bullied out and then we had a vote again but the other parties all had shit candidates for chancellor#And I think in the meantime we changed chancellor again as well??? Like I literally have no idea who was chancellor since Kurz (2nd dude)#And then in the middle of covid our health minister also quit I think? 😂😂#Oh and also a satire party (the beer party!) was really popular as well and that dude (Marco pogo) ran for president#Like he didn't get it but still he got like 3rd place with 8% of all votes#It's just all a fkn mess#OH RIGHT and then there was also a thing with an old Nazi song book that was used in the youth group of one party or sth like that#But I honestly can't remember if that was pre or post the Ibiza incident (selling to Russia thing)#Also I haven't fact checked anything in these notes. Be aware that it's 3am and I've been awake for 22 hours at this point.#And that my memory is bad so I might be conflating some stuff or miss remembering

Why does searching for sap sago cheese keep sending me to ancient websites. I checked the source code for one of them and it was made with Microsoft FrontPage 5.0. It's still up.
#using tumblr like a diary#liveblogging the 1912 cheese book#i guess#i finished skimming the book#just kind of went on a cheese tangent#there's a place off the 99 that makes sage cheddar apparently#sap sago really does not look like it would be easy to get#like the top search result is a company that specializes in xylitol products for alternative health reasons#and also sells colloidal silver cough drops to cure covid#and happens to also sell this specific cheese for some reason???#it seems to be out of stock everywhere but the colloidal silver website and one grocery store in houston#okay i found the website of the company that makes the cheese#yeah this is not a company that i can directly order cheese from to the us#if i want this cheese its drive to houston or trust the colloidal silver people#i dont want it that bad

talking about impenetrable accents/dialect just reminded me. when I was in Milan a couple of years back I was staying in this little rathole hotel and I had the biggest fucking migraine, so I was like non c'è problema I'll just go buy painkillers. of course every pharmacy on the map in a three block radius was closed, so my stupid ass just starts wandering around trying to figure out on the fly if you can get OTC from supermarkets in italy.
I walk into this little everything store (to my foreign eyes the kind of place that back home could sell you a bunch of carrots, a 6-pack of beer, pantyhose, bleach and a screwdriver set) and I see some household basics in the back but not what I need. with the confidence of a person who is only in the city for 3 days because he got bored and packed a bag and booked the cheapest flight available the week before (<= MENTAL ILLNESS), I was like no worries I know some italian, I can just ask.
I grab a bottle of water, walk up to the counter, and I'm like Ciao, hai il paracetamolo? And the guy is like che, and I'm like paracetamolo. Per la mia testa. And he's like che?
This is where I would have said 'aspirina' except I can't take aspirin for medical reasons, or 'antidolorifico' except I don't know that word and I've got no phone data for google translate and also I'm stupid. So in my fucked up leith-glasgow-italian accent I'm like paaa-ra-cetta-mollll-ooo. He's like ohhh bene, bene, and he calls another guy out of the back and asks him to go get something. Other guy then walks out of the store into the street, and before I can be like hey, che la fuck, he comes back and hands me a huge bundle of herbs.
At this point I'm like okay this entire interaction has been a bust, but these guys have been very nice and patient and they're both smiling happily at me because they've been of service, so I'm like ahh perfetto, grazie, pay them a couple of euros and leave.
EVENTUALLY I find a pharmacy that's open, and my head is fucking killing me, and my phone still isn't connecting, and now I have this small shrubbery poking out of my coat pocket, so I don't even bother looking around the shelves. I just walk straight to the counter and I'm like uhh ciao, scusi. And hearing my nightmare of an accent the guy answers in english and I'm like thank christ, do you please have paracetamol. Not aspirin, I can't take aspirin. And he's like yeah yeah hold on, goes into the back, comes out with what I need.
Only when he comes out he gives me this look, and then he starts laughing. And then he pretends he's not laughing and rings me up and I pay, and as I'm leaving I can see him losing it. But I don't care, my head is going to explode, I'm going back to the rathole to close the blinds and fall comatose for four hours.
When I get back to my hotel room I take off my coat and remember the huge bouquet of herbs in my pocket. They smell amazing, and I'm like I'm pretty sure this is parsley in which case I can just get some tomatoes and mozzarella later and make it work. but since I have no idea what that interaction was, I want to make sure. I bring out my phone to get a visual reference of what parsley leaves look like, and because I was using it for google translate earlier I put 'parsley' in the wrong box like a dope and translate it to italian.
prezzemolo
I wish I could have been the pharmacist in the moment he looked at my tired pissed off anglophone ass, heard me say 'paracetamol' in my fucked up accent, and turned around saw what was in my pocket. I'd have lost my shit too.

god I’m so torn. I have a few things I really buy rn but realistically I don’t think I can afford all of them. So I’m trying to weigh what I should let myself but bc I haven’t bought myself anything nice in a while
#I want to preorder the taz gn so that I can get the preorder keychain#and I previously preordered the exclusive special edition of the book of bill#but turns out it didn’t charge me when I ordered it like half a year ago and instead it charges me when it ships (in like two weeks)#so that’s a sudden $60 payment I need to decide if I want to do#bc I did not put the money away when I originally ordered it#because I thought it charged my card once I placed the order and that was it#so I’m trying to decide if I should cancel that#and then the Pokémon centre just released the kanto starters as Saiko soda plushes and I’m in love#I’d kill for the charmander and bulbasaur#and then I’m going to a concert next week which. while I think my leftover birthday money should pay for the hotel and stuff#I really like buying band tees so that I have something from the experience#but god knows that’ll be like $50#so I’m trying to decide which of these to go for#they’re all kinda time sensitive#two bc they’re preorders and the plushes bc I think they’re gonna sell out#and the tshirt is obviously from a specific event so that’s gotta be then#the other thing is while I’m planning on using my birthday money#that money is from my grandparents who (while that have told me that my presents from them are money and said how much they’re giving me)#have not actually. given me the money#and I don’t wanna be pushy but it’s also been a month 😭 and I’m gonna have to reach out to them and be like ‘please e-transfer me#I have to pay off my credit card please god you promised’. like I feel like an ass but I’d also like to be able to use my present#anyway. I’ve picked up a couple extra shifts so I could probably justify two#but not all four#and I’m trying to figure out what I’d regret more#both books I could get at a later date but I’d really like the keychain and I always preorder the taz gns bc they mean a lot to me#and while I could defo get the book of bill cheaper it won’t be the special edition and idk if I’d regret giving that up#bc I was really excited about that#and then idk. obv the concert tee is a one time deal and I might regret not keeping up my plan to be a band tee collector#they’re also so expensive and even if I like the band. idk. I wonder if it’s worth it#but also if I’ll regret it

Also I have 18 hours of reading from January 3 — now so I’m in good shape for the reading challenge I entered
#It’s not competitive; it’s just something to do#There’s a sheet with bubbles to fill in and I want to fill out the whole sheet#I’m gonna list some stuff on eBay to compensate for Coriolanus and the other dystopian book I bought#They were only like two dollars a piece but still. Gotta keep my finances in check if I want to move out lol#I need to be kept away from places that sell used and discounted books because I ALWAYS buy something#and I’m gonna have to move all my books
