I think I saw a ghost once. One night, I was working as a scarer in a spook alley. Now bear in mind this place was mostly staffed by kids, mostly middleschool and highschool age myself included, and the physical building was older than any of us. We also didn't have many ways to stay entertained while we were waiting to start the show, since we had to turn in our phones at the start of the night to stop folks from screwing off.

The point is, in an environment like that, all kinds of ghost stories got spread around. The younger kids were convinced one of the more frightening animatronics was legit possessed. There were rumors of a ghost of a man wrapped in chains. Stuff like that. Some of the ghosts even had names. I think one of them was called Bob.

There was one ghost simply called The Little Boy. There were plenty of stories about him, but we didn't "know" much about him except for the fact that he was friendly and usually alone. He was sorta the positive counterpart to a lot of the more frightening spirits we told stories about.

Now personally, I never put much stock in any of this. Just a bunch of bored folks making shit up to pass the time, or starting to see things during those long slow nights (a slow night without a watch as the only actor in the room is enough to damn near drive you mad). I decided long ago it was just a bunch of hocus pocus.

Until I met The Little Boy.

I'm still not 100% sure what I saw. I was leaning against the corner of my hallway, resting for a moment on a moderately busy night, when something about waist high runs straight past me. At first I thought it was an actual little kid, until I realized three things: 1- It had been a while since my last group and I couldn't hear another group coming, so this kid would've had to have gone through alone, which was strictly against our rules. 2- More importantly, he didn't turn when he reached my corner, it looked and felt like he ran straight through the wall. 3- I never heard his footsteps, which is highly unusual.

Later I asked the actors in the previous room if a little kid ever came through by themselves that night. They said not even once.

It might've been nothing. I probably imagined it. But there's still a good chance I didn't.

STOPPP it right nowwwwwwww 😭 like i sincerely believe some of you are literally living a little horror movie esp the way it's all so causal but terrifying at the same time. like. the spook alley setting? the rumours? the sightingssssssss it all adds up and now im invested but idk i need to do some breathing exercises and Relax lol. it's weird bc i dont logically believe in them, i'm just easily spooked and open to things and i think it's bizarre that you just saw something run past as clear as day, like it was right there. i would've had to quit im srry im srry. thank u for sharing!! will think ab this at random moments for the next 2 months maybe. Lol

This is a pretty bold move, but you said you believed in me. So, if you want this bench for yourself, I can take this large pizza past the big, blue building, and eat it alone at my miserable desk at my miserable job.

I do believe in you...And I do like pizza.

I have been in the solavellan fandom for...A While. (do not count the years, i beg) and everyone has their tropes and themes re: wolves/halla and hunter/prey and the New Herald being worshiped/the Old God nearly forgotten, and tbh I like bits and pieces of all of them, but like...

For me, the most compelling story is that Lavellan is just Some Guy (gn).

They meet Solas and accept that he is like them. He's an elf. One of The People. You are like me. I am like you. We are The Same People. And because of that, I will protect you with whatever power the humans around us have given me, because I know this is not the safest place for either of us.

And it just fucking... gets him, right? Because that's his whole deal. The world is broken because the people aren't People. He's not like them. They're not like him.

I just love the idea that this impossibly old, incredibly powerful sort-of-god, trips into a hole and nearly throws his entire game away because a regular person (albeit one who was thrust into extraordinary circumstances) decided to be kind. Offered him protection and friendship. Asked him to tell them stories. Grieved with him when he lost one of his oldest friends.

He could not deny that they were a person, because they treated him like a person.

I love how ordinary that is. How simple. How devastating.

hc that, in the split second before jon and martin die buried under the wreck of the panopticon, they get a glimpse into the other universes the tapes are going into. they see themselves, over and over and over. themselves, living together and married and fighting over what canned soup to buy and cheering at their kid's dance recital and exhausted on a road trip and cooking for each other and growing old together and meeting as kids and screaming at each other in an argument and moving into a house and looking at old photo albums and dancing to corny music and comforting each other after bad days and getting shitfaced with their coworkers and adopting a child and

and there are universes where they've been together since school there are universes where they've never met there are universes where they're estranged exes and where they've been married for 60 years. there are universes where jon rotted in the buried and where martin faded away in the lonely and where they never moved past the tense s1 disdain and where they lived out the rest of their days in the safehouse undisturbed and where they were all killed before they even got the chance to know each other

but they know for each of those billions of universes that ended in blood and tears and death there are a billion more where their biggest concern is what kind of soup to buy for dinner. and that, before you die, is the ultimate kind of euphoria

Chris: Buck, why do you love my dad? Buck: Why? Why there's plenty of reasons, but why are you asking about it, buddy? Chris: Cause he's so boring. Not saying I'm not happy you love him, but he's kinda lame. Buck: Well Chris, sometimes the boring stuff is the kind of thing that makes me love your dad. Chris, squinting: I don't get it. Buck, chuckling: You will. Someday, you'll find the person you want to do laundry and taxes with.
