"it is difficult to speak of the night" (jack gilbert)

I just want to remind you that sometimes your life really doesn't begin until you are 26+... Romanticizing and obsessing over our youth is harmful. Growing up is beautiful. Discovering who you are and how you interact with the world is a gift. Maturing and learning what you truly want out of life and living in that purpose brings fulfillment and peace. Your life is not over in your early 20's because you haven't figured it out yet, it's just beginning.

[truly-sincerely]

Obsessively reading everything in game by and about Gortash and the dude is

On a philosophical trajectory that ends in immortality thru technology / the machine

Doesn't have an original bone in his body, but he can backwards engineer anything

Halfway to being a decent scientist but doesn't have the education and is deeply impatient

Overconfident in the veracity of his own results and conclusions

Accurately predicted that the brain would metamorphose and become more difficult to control and then did nothing about it

Outsources his propaganda / arts and humanities

Charming, but he got there in a Pavlovian way (learned from trial and error and probably doesn't consciously know how he does it)

Vindictive af (learned / reinforced)

Darwinian (in the worst way)

Sociopathic, obviously, but extremely Rationalist about it

Never asks questions he doesn't know the answer to and probably thinks this makes him sound more authoritative

Completely incompetent as a strategist (but doesn't know it)

Not nearly as narcissistic / full of himself as he pretends to be

Thinks what he wants is praise but it's never enough because it's not actually what he wants (he wants to be wanted)

Bane makes him feel wanted (conditionally)

Durge made him feel wanted (unconditionally)

Understands intellectually that Durge got ambushed, but he feels abandoned

See also: thematic parallels between Gortash and

Silouv Yali (the Adamantine Forge & the construct Grym)

Oliver (in the shadow-cursed lands)

Astarion and Gale, obviously

I think the funniest thing about how the Fandom perceives Tim (especially obnoxious Tim fans) is that he is was deeply hurt by the actions Jason, Damian, and Dick have done to him, but lowkey that’s just the fandom projecting

Tim lowkey did not give a fuck. Maybe a little at first, but he definitely does not hold a grudge against any of them.

I understand why everyones so mad about five x lila (i dont like it either) BUT i do think the setup of it (lost in time with no one else to rely on, protecting eachother, ect) would probably make five fall in love with just about anyone. Just like, this is kind of what he always imagined having with deloras. So i dont fully agree with the wide consensus that its out of character for him to fuck his brothers wife (in this specific scenario)

That being said, he absolutely wouldnt give up on his family over it.

The mysterious murder of D. Phantom

Batman faced multiple cold cases. Some in which he got involved. They were never pretty, neither the ways of death nor the age of the victims. But when he entered a building and looked at Jason's corpse (it wasn't Jason, it couldn't be) his mind went blank.

He tried to investigate as much as possible. But his path was always empty, with virtually no clue as to who was to blame. Bruce began to despair when he saw his son's corpse on the pavement.

A week after his fruitless investigation, the body disappeared, and an identical one washed up on the docks. His death seemed recent, but that couldn't be possible, maybe the corpse was moved, but why?

Jason even got involved when his father started pestering the whole cave with his increasingly crazy theories about the case. All they got together was a couple of letters: DP, Dick nicknamed him Phantasma, because his body always turned up in supposedly haunted places.

Interestingly, the solution was more obvious than that. Danny changed forms so many times that he burned his human body, altered and left it on the ground. Clockwork forced him to absorb it to manifest another (Danny thought it was gross, but apparently when he "died" his body was just pure ecto)

And well, maybe he didn't know how to control the ability, and maybe he kept burning himself, leaving an abandoned corpse but it was disgusting, okay? The stalker in the bat suit was also not easy to avoid.

I am making great progress with Yasmin's scene tonight after a number of adjustments and rewrites. The best part is that I'm playing one of my favorite games: "How many sets of choices can I nest before CSIDE starts crying".

10-year age-gap akeshu AU in which, after an especially bad night, 16-year-old akira’s family situation has degraded so irreparably that he finally runs away to tokyo, like he’s always planned to. still in bad shape from his escape, he gets reluctantly picked up by a woman not that much older than him and recuperates at her apartment, where he meets her very hostile, very overprotective son.

it takes a while for 6-year-old goro to realize that akira isn’t one of his mother’s usual “clients”. despite akira’s flight-or-fight instinct button-mashing RUN out of fear of stagnating in one location for too long, in typical joker fashion, he stays with the akechi family to help them through hard times—praising and pampering goro when his mother is too tired to acknowledge him, and pulling mamakechi back to reality when she teeters between picking her poison: a rope hung from the rickety ceiling fan, a long, cold bath, a step off the balcony… he’d barged into their life a year before things would have broken permanently, and patiently patched up the cracks that would have deepened into permanent fissures. 

goro in particular takes a liking to the new addition in their household. akira is the only other person he has met who treats him so nicely and gently and attentively—even more so than his own mother. he always seems genuinely happy to see goro come home from school, and frequently offers to take goro out on “adventures” to tour museums, visit aquariums, pet the alley cats, and so on. with him around, goro doesn’t have to wait at the bathhouse anymore. he grows to revere akira as the darling guardian angel his mother had brought home just for him. 

in the end, having satisfied the selfless side of his nature, the selfish side has akira running away once again. he thinks his role has been fulfilled, and that he shouldn’t keep disrupting a family that isn’t his. he couldn’t have been more wrong.

and so, goro grows up with a doting mother and an awful, gaping hole where half of his heart should be. that is, until he meets a familiar stranger in Mementos—then again, in an innocuous coffee shop halfway across tokyo.

Being a war machine, V1 was not built with music appreciation in mind; its mind and budding sentience is hardwired for violence and personal gain. It listens to Gabriel play, listens to the terminals, and what does it gain?

V1 cannot (knowingly) create something new. It repeats what it knows works, it layers these repetitions atop each other to amplify their use to it. It can only mimic what it has heard before, note by note, at the exact pace they were heard, a mechanically measured replay. A perfect replication by its own hands, yet dull, unsatisfying, compared to replayed memory clips of music.

It feels it is doing something wrong.

fascinating to me that one kristoph gavin, knowing he's fucked by the end of turnabout trump, doesn't decide to go nuclear and just say That Evidence Is Forged, Here's The Real Ace, I May Be A Murderer But Apollo Presented False Evidence, Disbar His Ass NOW

Björn nahm einen weiteren Schluck Kaffee. „Großartig. Danke, Sascha.“ Ohne darüber nachzudenken, griff er im Umdrehen nach Saschas Schulter und drückte sie kurz. Sehr solide, sehr warm, nahm er wahr, und dachte, dass Breitner wirklich seine Sinne geschärft hatte auf eine Weise, die ihn immer wieder überraschte. „Wir sehen uns später.“

Sascha hob den Zeigefinger an die Stirn. Die silbernen Strähnen in seinem Haar glänzten im Sonnenlicht. „Bis dann, Chef."

I don’t think it’s actually implausible that someone would commit a murder, flee, and fail to dispose of evidence before being arrested despite the passage of a few days. If someone’s in a state of agitation, they just might not think of it. It’s also definitely not implausible, though, that the police would pin the crime on someone out of expediency or an attempt to cover up incompetence. I’m just waiting to see what happens next.
