The Shankill Butchers ride tonight
You better shut your windows tight
They're sharpening their cleavers and their knives
And taking all their whiskey by the pint

I'm with you for most of these but I really don't know that "play as real-life sectarian terrorists whose horrific crimes are still within living memory in your DnD campaign" is really in good taste
dnd campaign where everyone plays a different murderous narrator of a decemberists song
#like the song does slap but. the shankill butchers did very much butcher people#And yeah real life tragedy does end up fictionalized in art and music and writing and that's a fine but possible line to tread#but like. in a DnD campaign???

remember that book that was like "lenny murphy was very hot. not in a homosexual way tho"
I wish I didn't
#the book repeatedlyyyy emphasises how attractive he was but this is the only time someone goes UM I am NOT gay for calling him hot#anyway it's from martin dillon's definitive The Shankill Butchers book

i have kind of complicated feelings about (the decemberists song) the shankill butchers bc like. it's a pretty good decemberists song i guess. but i'm not really sure it was the decemberists' thing to write a song about, especially considering they somehow ended up writing an entire song about a gang whose victims were almost exclusively irish catholic civilians murdered for being irish catholics that didn't actually mention the troubles or sectarianism at all
#the decemberists#like. i kind of think they should've just left it alone#most if not all of the victims still have living family members#most of the butchers themselves are still alive even

Ah this fic. This was started when I was diving headfirst into From Dusk Before Dawn. There's not much planned for this fic, unlike a lot of my others. It takes place after the show finishes. The premise was that there was something left lingering in Kate and she starts basically sleepwalking, waking up in strange places again. The boys are out to find a cure, to help her any way that they can and meet a woman who is older than she appears...and knows faar more than she should.
I think it was partly inspired by listening to Shankill Butchers by The Decemberists.
Kate opened her eyes and looked around in horror. She wasn’t in bed. She wasn’t in the motel or in a car listening to the brothers argue with each other. She stood in an alley, blood dripping from the hand that held a heart. The body it belonged to lay at her feet. “No,” she whispered to herself. “No, no, no.” Her heart pounded in her chest, and she dropped the heart, curling her hand into her chest. This couldn’t be happening. Amaru was gone. The gate to Xibalba was closed. There should be no way…she couldn’t breathe, couldn’t think. Prayers flowed over her lips in whispers. The ringing of a cell phone jolted her out of her thoughts. The man’s pocket light up faintly in the dark. She reached down, pulling it out of his pocket before ignoring the call. She could hear Seth’s voice in her head warning her that if she dialled, the call could be traced back. She didn’t care. This couldn’t happen again. Not again.
post the names of all the files in your WIP folder and let people send you an ask with the title that most intrigues them
