Currently can't shake the idea in my head of Momo going up to Seiko and asking if she knew anything about Acro-Silky (she didn't, much to Momo's disappointment), then spending an all-nighter scouring the web trying to find who she was as a human so she can try to find where her physical body might be so she can pay her respects.

do you think you'll put "Stasis in darkness" on AO3 eventually?

see, when the idea first came to me, I hadn't really planned on doing anything with it because I wasn't sure if I could make it work. there's a level of gravitas in the relationship between a god and their devoted servant that I didn't think would translate well to steddie because, let's be real, those boys are goofy dorks. but the idea wouldn't leave me alone so I typed up the original post in an attempt to work it out of my system and move on.

(the post kind of blew up, which I was not expecting at all!! like, not even a little bit! i post all sorts of rough little ideas for my own amusement and I've been able to do that without drawing much attention until that point.)

Anyway, I wouldn't have done much with it but @acowardinmordor left some comments/tags/what have you that helped me nail down the setting in my head which really opened the door for me to explore how the story could progress. (apologies, strife, I'm not sure I ever properly thanked you for that burst of inspiration, so please accept this shoutout as an expression of gratitude). And the amazing @ent-is-indecisive allowed me to rant about it which really helped flesh out the story. Seriously, there are elements and lore coming up that would not have existed if it weren't for ent. (and thank you once again ent for the ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL fanart you made for the reveal scene, I'm still overcome with joy whenever I think about it!).

Once it got to that point, I knew I wanted it to be a self-contained story and I was afraid that if I did a multi-chapter fic I'd lose the thread and never make it to the ending I want the fic to have. (no, the end scene hasn't been written yet but I KNOW what it's going to be and I hope everyone will love it as much as i do). So I promised myself that I was not going to post it on ao3 until the whole thing was written out completely.

However, I occasionally need a confidence/motivation boost so I've been posting consecutive parts of the rough draft here. you have no idea how much the people who reblogged with tags or left comments have helped me fight off the discouragement my brain likes to bog me down with; off the top of my head, @godsweakestboy , @redfreckledwolf, @fuctacles , @spectrum-spectre , and @lawrencebshoggoth have given me lovely, enthusiastic words of encouragement. and they're only the ones I can think of at this moment. there's so many other people who've done this, so if you've ever left me nice tags or comments, please know that I've read every single one of them repeatedly whenever I need to get over a slump. I'm so grateful for all of you!

Anyway, all this is to say yes! It is going to be posted as a oneshot on ao3 once I've finished writing it. <3

Dingess Tunnel

Hidden deep within the coal filled Appalachian Mountains of Southern West Virginia rests a forgotten land that is older than time itself. Its valleys are deep, its waters polluted and its terrain is as rough as the rugged men and women who have occupied these centuries old plats for thousands of years.

The region is known as “Bloody Mingo” and for decades the area has been regarded as one of the most murderous areas in all of American history.

The haunted mountains of this territory have been the stage of blood baths too numerous to number, including those of the famed Hatfield’s and McCoy’s, Matewan Massacre and the Battle of Blair Mountain. Even the county’s sheriff was murdered this past spring, while eating lunch in his vehicle.

Tucked away in a dark corner of this remote area is an even greater anomaly – a town, whose primary entrance is a deserted one lane train tunnel nearly 4/5 of a mile long.

The story of this town’s unique entrance dates back nearly a century and a half ago, back to an era when coal mining in West Virginia was first becoming profitable.

For generations, the people of what is now Mingo County, West Virginia, had lived quiet and peaceable lives, enjoying the fruits of the land, living secluded within the tall and unforgiving mountains surrounding them.

All of this changed, however, with the industrial revolution, as the demand for coal soared to record highs.

Soon outside capital began flowing into “Bloody Mingo” and within a decade railroads had linked the previously isolated communities of southern West Virginia to the outside world.

The most notorious of these new railways was Norfolk & Western’s line between Lenore and Wayne County – a railroad that split through the hazardous and lawless region known as “Twelve Pole Creek.”

At the heart of Twelve Pole Creek, railroad workers forged a 3,300 foot long railroad tunnel just south of the community of Dingess.

As new mines began to open, destitute families poured into Mingo County in search of labor in the coal mines. Among the population of workers were large numbers of both African-Americans and Chinese emigrants.

Despising outsiders, and particularly the thought of dark skinned people moving into what had long been viewed as a region exclusively all their own, residents of Dingess, West Virginia, are said to have hid along the hillsides just outside of the tunnel’s entrance, shooting any dark skinned travelers riding aboard the train.

Though no official numbers were ever kept, it has been estimated that hundreds of black and Chinese workers were killed at the entrance and exits of this tunnel.

Norfolk & Western soon afterward abandonment the Twelve Pole line. Within months two forces of workmen began removing the tracks, ties, and accessory facilities.

What are your favorite non-Disney movies?

Oooh I have so many!!! I’ll try to keep this as short as I can. 🤣

As far as animated films go, my ultime non-Disney favorites are “Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron” and the “How To Train Your Dragon” franchise. They are all such touching stories with beautiful animation and amazing soundtracks. I still listen to the songs from “Spirit” on a regular basis. Oh, and “Rio”! The second one is okay, but the first one holds a special place in my heart. 💙

The “Despicable Me” and “Minions” films. ‘Nough said. 😜

Choosing non-Disney live action films is a bit tougher, though, as I love a lot of them! I adore “The Greatest Showman” and the “Jurassic Park” franchise, as well as rom-coms such as “The Proposal” and “Hitch.” I’m not a huge fan of horror, but there are a few I love such as “Dark Skies” and "Before I Wake." I even like a couple that are supposed to be scary but honestly just make me laugh, like "The Visit" and "Old." 😂

I’ve also recently gotten into anime films. My favorites are “Spirited Away” and “Ponyo” from Studio Ghibli, and “Suzume” and “Tunnel To Summer: Exit of Goodbyes.”

If there are any of these films I mentioned that you haven’t seen, please go watch right now!!! I highly recommend all of them! 🥰

[ Every spirit you've seen roaming the dark winding tunnels seems lost. Cloaked in tar and curiosity, they whisper questions. They offer condolences. They keep you away from the furthest tunnels, like they're protecting you from slipping where you can't be found. You could have sworn the stories said that their fur was dressed in stardust... ]

I'll preface this by saying that I am a Killer Main that's started playing SoloQ just to try and improve at looping and have fun for some variety.

I had a match with a Doctor that seemed to be unhappy despite having someone ragequit at 5 gens and screw us over and not a single gen getting done. I say he was unhappy because he BM'd me for no reason. He was chasing me but since I was fully crazy, I literally couldn't hear hatch 2ft away from me. All I heard was obnoxious loud noises. I know Plague's power is also loud and so is the room on Lery's. I normally don't like to complain or be entitled but why in the fuck is shit so fucking loud? It's not just for Survivors but Killers too. If I'm giving someone hatch, I don't want them to follow me because it triggers the chase music and I can't hear hatch. Had a Blight one time that was trying to help me find hatch and I couldn't hear anything over the chase music =_=

Church Hill Tunnel Richmond, Virginia

The Church Hill Tunnel in Richmond, Virginia existed without incident from 1873 to 1902. It was closed until 1920’s, when the town decided to reopen the tunnel. In 1925, men working in the tunnel were trapped by a collapse in the tunnel. They found some of the dead but there were a few who were never found in the rubble. It’s believed that the legendary Richmond Vampire had a hand in these deaths, as he was seen feasting on the bodies in the aftermath of the collapse. The tunnel was sealed with concrete after the tragedy but many residents claim to still hear the screams of the men trapped inside, urging someone to let them out.
