how cruel of them to do this

[crimeronan]

kind of a tragedy that ao3 didn't exist in the 70s and 80s. i know people say it would be a horror story to find your parent's ao3 but honestly as long as you avoid anything E-rated until you're like the same age they were when they wrote it you'd be fine. my mom has an old yellowed manuscript of the extremely generic high fantasy novel she painstakingly wrote on a typewriter at age 15 and i've read it twice. her self insert was a side character tough warrior catgirl named "catchild" who had a sword and always rode on horseback and could talk to feral cats in the main character's village. are you telling me you guys would find ABSOLUTELY NO DELIGHTS in the OP deviantart OCs that your disco 'rents came up with.......

hi good omens fans. last year me and my roommate were insane about good omens so naturally i used my graphic design skills to recreate a few of the motivational posters in hell. season 2 release seems like a relevant time to put them out into the world

thank you tumblr user @fuckyeahgoodomens for the screenshots of the posters, it was surprisingly hard to find good reference images when i was making these and your blog helped

VERY IMPORTANT QUESTION:

everyone please tell me if these letters look alright to you bc i am...conflicted :/ i made it so that the lower case letters for this font were in the middle of the cards, but would it look better if they all started at the same bottom? i.e. the shorter letters would all start where letters like f and k start....im really not sure 😭😭😭

Weird having an actual favorite band and knowing it. I don't really have many favorites it is hard to understand my feelings and even harder to pinpoint a 'better and more' feeling about one specific thing. But I know all of their songs, I listen to them all in a big playlist and never get bored, I am always happy to hear any song by them, I have every song's lyrics memorized, like ... they are my unequivocal favorite. There is nothing like it. Yes, I can get really into other songs, there are probably singular songs I can say I like more than any one song by this band. But I guess having a favorite is like what people say about getting married. I'm not explaining myself on that one actually I do have a point there that's an actual metaphor but I've decided explaining it is a bad use of my time. It's one of those artists that are popular enough and artsy enough that they can crop up as fic titles occasionally and no matter the lyric or song it comes from I can always tell immediately. I don't remember what the point of this post was I'm deep in my panic phase and it's 4 am and I was just sitting there singing I Have Made Mistakes to myself bc I can just do that, the whole song, and because it is very funny to go I have made mistakes I have made mistakes and I will continue to make them while in the middle of freaking the fuck out about existing or something. Bc you know yeah im one spoon away from setting the ends of my hair in fire because if I'm kindling for a little while at least I'll feel of use ????????? Yeah this post for sure had a point and it's devolved.

If enough Kira worshipers demand for his release, even going as far as continue to making serious threat towards the goverment until they do, would Light be released? What are potential of him being released at all? I imagine Kira worshipers purposely making it difficult for anyone after the revelation

There are cultural, procedural, and common sense reasons why Japan's correctional organs would not be compelled to release a mass murderer with a preternatural capacity for serial killing who sought to destroy the social order to satisfy his god complex based on threats made by such mass murderer's riotous cult.

This isn't to say Kira worshippers wouldn't influence Light's sentencing. I'm sure they would since Japanese courts take into account the impact of a convicted person's crime(s) on Japanese society when determining whether the death penalty is appropriate, and instigating civil unrest that threatens national security constitutes a comically deleterious impact on Japanese society.

This also presumes a public and transparent process, but even where the circumstances aren't nearly so extraordinary, Japanese criminal proceedings are not terribly transparent. For example:

From the moment of arrest, prosecutors may strictly limit access to defendants; even defense counsel and family are often barred from contact.

Defense counsel has the right to request access to evidence the prosecutor uses in court, but the prosecution can withhold all other evidence. Further, defense counsel is only permitted to use disclosed evidence to prepare for trial, and cannot disclose information obtained during pre-trial discovery (including to the public).

Japan's constitution mandates open courts, but this does not extend to criminal court records, which are controlled by prosecutors and, if published, anonymized.

Japan’s death penalty law requires that executions must be carried out quietly and without public notice. Death-sentenced prisoners are kept in strict solitary confinement and monitored by 24-hour surveillance cameras. Prisoners are informed just one hour before their sentence is carried out, so their families and defense lawyers only learn about the execution after the fact.

Japanese prosecutors exercise immense discretion based on an opaque system of internal deliberation and consensus and, are substantially insulated from public scrutiny. This doesn't mean they're never influenced by the public, but its rare, and relatively weak.

tl;dr: (1) serious threats to a national government by fringe cultists are not usually a compelling criminal defense, but can be used to justify harsher sentencing; (2) there is 0 potential of Light being released if arrested, but very high potential for Ryuk becoming bored and killing Light before the Japanese government can get around to it. Which, isn't not canonically what happened.

made the decision (I have ap exams in a week) to finally write down what I consider dimensions, universes, time travel, etc in pop culture (I have ap exams in a week) which is great and it’d be fun to turn it into a space looking infographic like thing with a cute artstyle and little references to shows that involve dimensional travel (I have ap exams in a week) but I’m not done and I’m starting to get really tired of trying to conceptualize infinity and how interactions would play out (I have ap exams in a week) because I’m basing what’s less standardized by pop culture on our actual universe so things are more codified and less willy-nilly while still making sense like putting dimensions with similar attributes into families and trying to determine what makes a subdimension and how they operate to fit close enough to pop cultures definition while still having some ground in reality (I have ap exams in a week) I think I should keep working on this

Writing as a medium

Cons: Restricted to silent words, never able to truly communicate the beauty of a landscape, the emotion in an expression, the serene sound of a bird's song, the tone of voice with which a line is spoken

Pros:
