#the night coalition

[obscureobservations]

What am I even supposed to say when someone asks me what my favorite genre of media is like "Two different forms of governments at war who absolutely despise each other's guts but they're both also hypocrites because none of them truly falls under the 'good' category and the conflict will almost never be resolved because of how petty both parties can be."

If you're up for it could you explain what is making the Germany government stuff so funny? I can find news articles about it (a coalition is dissolving? There's been tension for a while?) but they're all fairly serious. Thx!

ohhh, sure thing! i'll do my best!

i'll say upfront: this is a pretty serious thing to happen. our chancellor fired our minister of finance, Lindner, which definitively breaks up the governing coalition. germany will likely have snap elections at a moment in which far-right parties are polling extremely well. if news coverage about it seems like people are Worried, that's because, well, they are.

however. the reason it's funny is because our minister of finance was fired. ministers aren't really... ever fired. like, it's not a done thing. i'll fully admit i didn't even know it was an option until yesterday. and our minister of finance wasn't just anyone, he was one of the most mocked and hated figures in politics to germans who vote anywhere left of center.

the coalition that governed until yesterday was made up of the green party, the social democrats, and the neoliberal party (FDP). the FDP is infamous (and i mean, my parents already raised me to hate them for that) for playing kingmaker in coalition governments: they never get all that many votes, but they get just enough that whoever they agree to form a government with will probably succeed. they then tend to force extreme concessions from their coalition partners, because hey, if we walk off, you can't govern at all! so you better play along!

for the past three years, this behaviour has been extremely frustrating for germans who voted for greens or social democrats, because policy from their faction was constantly being blocked by the FDP and often by Lindner personally. the FDP received 11,5% of votes in 2021, but to many of us, it felt as if they were the only party who really had any say in the governing coalition. it made the green and social democratic coalition partners look spineless and passive.

and now, i invite you to imagine how on the day of the US election results, the day the whole world rolled their eyes at the sheer fucking stupidity and pointlessness of it all, at NINE IN THE EVENING, just as germans are getting ready to settle in to bed to dream of nightmare global politics -

the news suddenly breaks that our notoriously invisible chancellor just decided to fire Lindner for that exact behaviour. this chancellor comes out and says, on camera, to the entire sleepy nation, that acting the way Lindner did - blocking necessary policies, refusing to approve budgets unless his party's interests were met - was childish, selfish, irresponsible, and unfit for government, so, whoops, he had to go. shame. coalition over, i guess.

so, politically, that was a long-needed but never-expected moment of triumph for those of us who think the FDP is a clown show made up of human TESLA shares, and it came at a hysterically funny moment.

on a personal level, i can barely explain how uniquely hateable Lindner has always been. he's what would happen if a stock index graph came to life. he hates poor people with a relish; he mocks welfare recipients and would ax minimum wages in a second. he's everyone's business major roommate who shows up in boat shoes fresh off a yacht to discuss NFTs with you. throughout the entire time that he's used his rich boy policy blackmail strategy, he's been smug about it, and he was never taken to task for it, and millions of germans have been longing to throw rotten fruit in his face since 2017. and now we finally get to do it. via memes. on the day of trump's election win.

so that's why it's funny.

A Merry Gentleman... and His Companion?"

Your nightmares being high had led to a significant amount of stalking awarness from your dreams, and the figure lurking on the side streets as you passed. It seems, however, that this familiar man is momentarily distracted in his evening pursuits - perhaps this will give you enough time to tend to your nightmares elsewhere?

Wanted to do one last winter dress up with The Boisterous Author for the winter prompt @neathyfashioncoalition, and couldn't resist giving May a winter outfit as well. cheers to spring soon, eh?

Harpy mickrin AU yay! Sorta loosely set in Aatom87's harpy & zookeeper AU- Rin is a sooty owl and Mickbell is a cockatiel. You know how parrots are...

The zoo keeps them in the same enclosure out of lack of funds to try and fix behavioral issues. Rin was being too self-isolating and Mickbell was starting shit with other harpies and bonded with zookeeper Kuro instead, which is unhealthy, so they put them in a side enclosure to bond together and assigned Kabru to it instead. Thus they are forced to have enrichment together.

Kabru has it tough since they both act like they hate him, except one is only a tsundere act lol. Mickbell like "huh?? You stealing my cagemate punk?? Wanna fight??" and he's not even wrong lol. Tiny bird very angry very aggressive, cue Kabru getting scratched every day... Kabru leaving their enclosure after a whole showdown of cockatiel Mick screaming scratching biting inflicting him little wounds and then Mick goes right back to "I'm just a little guy"ing @ Rin. Keep going buddy i'm sure... one day...... you'll win her over and make her laugh. Or something.

Although hmmm Kabru hating monsters would mean he wouldn't work there in the first place. Maybe.... He's there undercover to investigate the zoos for corruption or animal-monster abuse or smth... And the injured Mithrun harpy is evidence that he has to take under his wing ba dum tss <- this is how my AUs get out of control

I love Mickbell's stiff paintbrush of a ponytail so much

Silly fish, and one lobster

the scene where you talk to davrin in his room while he whittles tiny models of monsters (while assan watches with rapt attention <3 there is nothing about this whole setup, man or griffon, that isn't adorable) when your rook IS one of the dainty little academic mage types he so besmirches and you consistently pick the purple options through the conversation -- I am SCREECHING the covert jock/nerd war rages on between clenched teeth and forced jollity, they are doing this on purpose, bioware really have given me this gift all nicely wrapped and lovingly crafted! rook is so fucking bitchy and passive aggressive in these purple options (and once or twice davrin doesn't seem to realize it/takes what they say at face value); it's not very nice of them but it is hilarious. also I must say that hearing these two just relentlessly neg each other with palpable tension of. SOME kind thick in the air* for five minutes straight and then walking away and seeing the 'davrin approves' pop up at the end gets close to the otherwise unapproachable gaming high that is having a tense standoff with sten in origins and seeing +7 affection as you leave. davrin clearly is going 'good talk man nice to see you stand up for yourself more, I respect the roast game' while my rook walks away with a forced smile and clenched fists like 'okay so that wasn't very mature of me I'll admit it but god why is this guy such an asshole'

I cannot imagine how this conversation must play out with a character more on davrin's wavelength because for my setup here this was *chef's kiss* perfect. ideal. I'm so glad this dynamic exists it's one of the funniest and most characterization-enriching things that could have happened to me

*there's some insanity going on here where like... I don't think either of them like want to fuck, they're not actually attracted to each other, but they both would fuck each other in a 'go fuck yourself'/'fuck me yourself you coward'/'fine I will see if I don't!!!!'/'oh yeah??? do it then!!!!!' kind of way. the vibes are indescribable and unhinged on both of their parts.

please..powerless or otherworldly hcs..

Powerless's favorite snack are cranberry-flavored biscuits though he doesn't particularly eat much // Powerless would probably be about 6'5 // Otherwordly surprisingly gets along with mostly everyone since they rarely speak // Otherworldly was thought to be mute by the other night operatives when they first joined the night coalition but it was later revealed that they just didn't prefer talking // Otherworldly also has a habit of observing the night operatives to make sure they're not slacking // Otherworldly has a whole language from their home planet which they often speak in, and it usually pisses a lot of the night operatives off because none of them can understand it // Otherworldly is at least 7'4.

”Great_Day”

I don’t understand why they’re saying I’m not their precious Supreme Leader….have I changed? .

Did I do something wrong? Why won’t any of them look at me? Even horrid wouldn’t. Did I do something horribly wrong? A sin perhaps? .

Great_Day either split himself into two or cloned himself during/before the war with the night coalition and it gave birth to this freak who thinks he’s still the “actual” Great. just imagine of this as a concept of cloning yourself to preserve your body, your memories, your strategic planning for your union in case this ruthless war ever takes you away. Only to forget said clone and reform yourself into what you are now (a cyborg/robot)

basically “Great_Day”/doppleganger Great_Day Is the old/young great from the “myth” or old lore when he was still human in the flesh and the real Great is the one we all know today (new/arg lore) 🧍‍♂️

“Great_Day”/doopleganger Great_Day Definitely despises the “real” one, he’s convinced that the real one is an imposter who took his place :(

+ bonus info: the other great from the last photo isn’t really the actual Great. It’s a friend’s au version of him. Hi guest_conductor!!

And this is what he said in the blacked out dialogues v_v: ”This is low. Even for you, Horrid. Did my death take a toll on you?” ”Or did they replace you too?…my Horrid wouldn’t do this.”

File: Unbreakable

SCP#: AFS

Code Name: The Unbreakable 

Object Class: Prodosa Thaumiel

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-AFS has evaded capture due to the actions of Person of Interest: Mr. Glass and more recently Group of Interest: The Serpents Hand. As such, until capture is proven possible, SCP-AFS will be labeled as Prodosa and no containment procedures have been made at the moment. 

Update 2019 - SCP-AFS has been contained at Site-AM, he is given a 10x10 meter containment room that acts as living space for him and his son. He has been assigned to Mobile Task Force Alpha-9 "Last Hope" Division "Shield" making him an elite security member of Site-AM. Thankfully he doesn't ask for much but still anything he does ask for much but by order of the Anomalous Employment Division he is to be granted anything requested to make his living space more comfortable.

Description: SCP-AFS is a humanoid anomaly that was seemingly born with his anomalous abilities, the simply manifested over time. he has indestructible skin able to deflect bullets, prevent harm form fire, and resist damage form the heaviest or sharpest of melee weapons. However, SCP-AFS is not indestructible, not only can he not swim but he grows weaker when his body is covered in water. Even in his weakened state SCP-AFS is mostly indestructible but he can be drowned very easily.

Though SCP-AFS is strong and durable, he also has the anomalous ability to read minds. When he has physical contact with someone, he can see everything they have done especially crimes they committed. This allows him to see who deserves to be taken down, as he has a strong sense of justice. 

SCP-AFS was discovered in 2000 when he was reported to be the sole survivor of a train crash that should have been impossible to survive. Furthermore, he survived with not a single scratch or burse on his body. From there he became a Person of Interest with Foundation agents watching over him to observe his anomalous abilities. However, as his anomalous abilities came to light the agents were unable to grab him due to seemingly random deaths. 

Agent Garro one of the first agents to watch over SCP-AFS was ran over by a bus that should have seen him. Apparently, it's engine was rewired to be controlled by someone else ensuring he got ran over. 

Agent Shadow was sniped by a mercenary who also claimed to be a conspiracy theorist. He got an anonymous tip from on the main Parawatch site that there was a "man in black" trying to kidnap an innocent child and probe him. He was captured and assigned to D Class. 

Agent Treni was ambushed by a gang from Group of Interest: The Serpent's Hand. One of the members was later captured and he confessed he was told by a "Mr. Glass" that a meta human was in danger and Agent Treni was trying to kill him. He was deemed too dangerous, so the Department of Strategic Redemption did not assign him to Mobile Task Force Sigma-66 "Sixteen Tons". He was instead assigned to D Class. 

Agent Nato was caught and attacked by a sexual assault criminal; she easily killed the criminal but by the time she got out of his house she had lost SCP-AFS's trail. In the house was found Agent Nato's pictures as well as photoshopped photos of her naked. Somone by the name "Mr. Glass" sent the photos to have the SAC pursue Agent Nato. She had no signs of developing trauma, but as a precaution she was assigned a week of leave and a daily therapy session during as well as weekly sessions afterwards. 

Agent Ryland was assassinated by a GOC agent. The GOC was given an anonymous tip that Agent Ryland was an agent of the Black Queen's Insurgency. This was proven to be false. The GOC had to surrender the agent who is now in Foundation custody as a D class. She will only remain D class for 3 months and used in weapon and armor testing experiments. Afterwards she will be assigned to Mobile Task Force Sigma-66 "Sixteen Tons" by order of the Department of Strategic Redemption... if she survives by then.

After losing 4 outstanding agents and nearly losing a 5th to trauma it was decided to deploy Mobile Task Force Hera-7 "Hero Killers". Unfortunately, they were ambushed by Group of Interest: The Serpent's Hand. Like all the incidents they were tipped off by "Mr. Glass" who is apparently a regular at the Wanderer's Library therefore almost impossible to track. 

It is unknown how this "Mr. Glass" keeps anticipating Foundation investigation but he is now placed on the Person of Interest Watchlist. As for SCP-AFS, from the minimal data gathered around him it was clear he was an anomaly, so he was labeled as such. However, each time Foundation agents and MTF units try to bring him into containment Parawatch, The Serpents Hand, or regular criminals intervene one way or another. As such, until a way to proper way to contain him can be developed, he is labeled as Object Class Prodosa.

Update 2019 - SCP-AFS has finally been captured, as well as SCP-AGH. He has agreed to work with the Foundation and is now under the protection of the Anomalous Employment Division. Due to his assignment to MTF Alpha-9 his object class has been changed to Thaumiel.
