Deacon's little mistake

Deacon once had a phase where he want become the "Main Character." In order to achieve his goal, Deacon convinced his parents to let buy white hair dye (which would make his hair stand out). He may or may not underestimated the amount hair dye need. His hair turned out to be a sandy beach instead of white. Did Chase teased him about it? Of course, it was beautiful blackmail.

Okay so does anyone else have Deacon's "they took it out on my sorry hide," line from his final affinity conversation on repeat. Thinking Deacon has some FUCKED up scars on his body.

When I Was Done Dying

[xiaq]

Hi from Texas where it’s 90 degrees and hailing.

[theflowerofthecommonwealth]

Jasmine, Danse, and MacCready: (Camped out in an old building- awaiting Nicks return)

Jasmine: (Blinks up at Danse innocently from her sleeping bag) “I wanna tell you my secret now.”

Danse: (Sets down his gun he was tinkering with, turning to the teen) “Okay….”

MacCready: (Listens intently as well because Jas sounds serious)

Jasmine: (Takes a deep breath, her gaze moving to stare off at nothing in particular) (Whispering) “..…I see dead people.”

Danse: (Skeptical hum, raising a brow) “In your dreams?”

Jasmine: (Shakes her head)

Danse: (Remembers Dunwich Borers and begins to panic) “While you are awake?”

Jasmine: (Nod her head, a slow smile spreading on her sweet little face)

MacCready: (Hard swallow) “Dead people like…. In graves and coffins?”

Jasmine: (Makes a motion around her with one hand) “Walking around like regular people.”

Danse and MacCready: (Exchange fearful glances)

Jasmine: (Sighs heavily as she cozies up in her sleeping bag) “We don’t see each other- they only see what they want to see. They don’t know they are dead.”

Danse: (Clears his throat) “H-… How often do you see them?”

Jasmine: “All the time. They are everywhere.” (Eyes fixate on the spot next to her, giving a small wave to a unseen figure)

MacCready: (Internally screaming)

Jasmine: (Briefly glances up at her big brothers)“Word of advice- don’t go out in the dark when it’s 3am. That’s the witching hour, and they will find you.”

Danse: “Wait- what?!?”

Jasmine: (Cheerfully) “G’night!” (Pulls the blanket up over her and promptly closes her eyes, leaving the boys to seep in their panic)

[Later]

Nick: (Enters the building, mentally exhausted) “I’m back-….”

MacCready: (Frantically runs up to him) “Valentine! What have you been feeding your kid?!?! The heck is wrong with her?!?!”

Nick: (Tired Dad sigh as he folds his arms) “What did my girl do this time?”

MacCready: (Incoherent rambling as he paces the room)

Nick: (Raises a brow) “Danse?”

Danse: (Stays quiet for a few moments) “….Have you ever considered hiring a priest to preform an exorcism on your daughter?”

Jasmine: (Appears behind the two men, a smile on her face) (Creepily) “Why? I was not lying to you- I was just trying to help prevent a tragic accident from transpiring.”

MacCready: (Nearly poops his pants as his soul leaves his body then and there)

Danse: (Jumps out a window in fright)

Nick: (Pinches the bridge of his nose in exasperation) “Dear God give me strength…..”

(Wait until she tells them about La Llorona)

METALLICA, OZZY OSBOURNE, VAN HALEN, ANTHRAX, And Others Featured On Rolling Stone’s ‘Worst Album Covers of All Time’ List

July 20, 2024 by Reeder

Rolling Stone described its selection process for the list as follows: “Our selection criteria for the list, other than fugliness: We skewed toward major artists with the resources of professional graphic designers who really should have known better. (Some of rock music’s most revered design firms, such as Hipgnosis, are also some of the worst offenders here.) No more than one album per artist. No mercy for the album’s music actually being good (that happens more often than you’d think).”

The hard rock and heavy metal artists included on the list are:

METALLICA‘s “Metallica”: #41

OZZY OSBOURNE‘s “Down To Earth”: #30

BON JOVI‘s “Slippery When Wet”: #25

ANTHRAX‘s “Fistful Of Metal”: #23

VAN HALEN‘s “Balance”: #20

SCORPIONS‘ “Lovedrive”: #18

TED NUGENT‘s “Love Grenade”: #5

QUEEN‘s “The Miracle”: #47

[brian walks in]

roger, unconvincingly: uh, i was examining a mole.

brian, unimpressed: right. i’d hate to see how you check for testicular cancer.

As I was search information to find out Chase's location,I found a funny fact about Boris.Boris is a silver dapple horse which using the dear old internet I found out that a silver dapple horse can cost between $900-$20,000 which is more than the average cost $500-$3,000.That is a lot of money to pay for a horse that hates one of your grandchild.Also that just the cost to get the horse to doesn't include the food,water,and damages when the one trys to feed the horse and gets bit.Only thing I learned from this topic that Ralph is rich.

WIP Wednesday

Tagged by the lovely @persephotea <3

Tagging in turn: @poetikat, @electricshoebox, @velvet-verve, @some27-url, and @halkuonn if you'd like to share. No worries if you'd rather not!

Feel free to give this post a like if you want me to tag you in future WIP memes.

Most of Chapter 30 of Bring the Gasoline is bullet points still, but I have a few stray lines from each POV I can share. Tentative chapter title is "Trust Fall".

Mac:

Get to Virgil,  get back to the Castle, and get on his knees to get back in Nat's good graces. Get used to being down there for a while. She’s gonna make him work like hell for it. Maybe, MacCready thinks, as he turns the wheel on the back of the suit and steam seeps free, this is the easy part.

& Nat:

Deacon offers his hand, but all Natasha sees is a speeding train. One more jump, and she’ll be swept away.

two kinds of people

Thren's Fallen London guy Peter (currently dating Jack Bell!) and my Fallen London guy Samuel are both doing Light Fingers, so we'd been kinda headcanoning them doing this investigation together... Which I guess means when Poor Edward got moon milk smashed in his face he looked at and fell madly in love with both of them simultaneously??? im sure that's fine for him and not a confusing experience at all

Anyway there's a delightful bit where you hAVE TO GO TO EDWARD FOR HELP WITH A THING and he is as Normal about this as you'd expect. Thren and I both made the same choice here, but Sam and Peter had, different approaches,

[amazinglyegg]

ok now i just gotta ask !!!

ANGSTY carrington hcs ? any about his past ?

Okay okay first of all I Love You and Thank You for feeding my Carrington obession but also I've never really thought about his past before??? I just kinda assume he. Spawned in one day. As a Railroad agent. So I might not have a lot for that specifically but I'Il have fun writing it!

Angsty Carrington Headcanons!!

I'm imagining him getting too attached to synths and other agents early in his career

This is back when the Railroad didn't have as many agents and only saved one or two synths per year

Because of the fact that they got to know every agent personally, and that he's really their only real doctor, it got overwhelming very quick.

He got to hear about their entire life story. Who they were, where they came from, if they had any loved ones

While he still has decent bedside manners now and will sit with a dying agent if they have nobody else to be with, when he first joined he would push himself too far to save ones that couldn't be saved

Staying up for nights, giving agents more and more pain relievers that he bought with his own money, refusing to believe they wouldn't make it

He'd deny so ferociously that they were dying that when they did it would sometimes take him a few minutes to actually accept that they stopped breathing a long while ago

I don't know the context of this line, but at some point Deacon says this:

"But for a grieving parent, telling them that their kid ate a courser's bullet in the struggle for synth freedom... that doesn't hold much water"

Surely Carrington was the one who had to break the news to the parents every once in a while

Especially when he had to tell them that there wasn't a body to be buried. It took a toll on him.

Synths as well, because there were so few escaping before Pariot started helping out, every success was huge, and every failure was heart-wrenching

Synths got passed through every agent multiple times, and probably got to stay in HQ occasionally if a safehouse was in danger, meaning they all got to know them personally.

Each death hits Carrington harder than the last no matter how they died because he's a doctor, his only job is to prevent that.

He probably had a breakdown at some point and nearly left the Railroad. Desdemona comforted him and convinced him to stay, maybe ranking him up to second in command as a way to have him do something other than medical work

He hates paper work and fixing other agents mistakes with a passion, but it was a huge show of how Des trusts him and cares about him and he appreciates the act a lot.

He definitely doesn't take proper care of himself, not necessarly in a medical way, because he rarely gets hurt at all, but he neglects his physical and emotional needs a lot

In a lot of ways he acts like a robot, always doing work and only eating or drinking when he needs "fuel", aka when he's nearly passing out from hunger

All the other agents help keep him in check but it's very hard for him to admit that he's wrong or needs help.

He's starting to forget what sun feels like on his skin. Last time he left HQ was months ago when it was raining and the sensory input sent him into a bit of an overload.

Also very touch starved but very touch adverse. Doesn't really trust any agents with non-professional physical touch except for maybe Des and Tom.

He hates the chalkboard with the agents names and safehouses written or crossed out on it. He thinks it's unecessary, a risk, and just reminds everyone of what they've lost.

The movement from Switchboard to the church took a big toll on him mentally

He needs stability and routine in his life and he doesn't cope very well with things he can't control, one of the reasons why he doesn't work in the field

Also the grief of losing what he considered his home for years. Every once in a while he'll wake up and think he's back in Switchboard again and it'll fill him with a sense of comfort for just a few moments before something reminds him that he's not there anymore.

Has to act like he wasn't crying after that, tells people he has an allergy to dust that makes his eyes red and puffy.
