(10pm) dunno but Desmond who accidently somehow became a magician when he didn't want to be one

I’m pretty sure you’re talking about real magic but this gave me the idea of a sleigh-of-hand type of magician for Desmond. He’d have the trickery and sleigh of hands of the Four Horsemen from Now You See Me and Penn & Teller. His training on the Farm made him more observant than normal so he could see the tricks that street magicians and illusionists use in their performance then he sees how people seem to like them so he tries to do them as well.

Before long, he’s getting noticed because he’s cute and very chill and, before Desmond knows what’s happening, he’s doing a magic show in some local bar.

He sees that he could make a few bucks if he keeps doing these gigs while having a part-time job.

Whether by chance or by fate, Desmond starts making a career out of his magic tricks and he gets more daring, adding more ‘Assassin’ like components in his performance.

A white hood to hide his identity, maybe even a mask his face so, in case one of his performances is recorded, his dad and the cult wouldn’t see him.

Observing the crowd to pick the best people to include in his tricks before and during his performance, honing his skills of cold and hot reading without even realizing it, which his mother had been teaching him to make it easier for him to blend in the crowds and find weak ‘points’.

Maybe one or two tricks that required more precision and hand-eye coordination that reminded him a bit of his daily physical training with the other children on the Farm.

Of course, he couldn’t use his real name, that would be foolish.

He needed a fake name, a fake identity.

And the name he went with?

David Blaine.

Not socialist in a “I won’t have to work” type of way but socialist in a “I’ll still be working but I won’t be worried I won’t make the rent” type of way. In a “billions won’t be hoarded by one person” type of way. In a “janitors, fast-food workers, child care workers, preschool teachers, hotel clerks, personal care and home health aides, and grocery store cashiers, will live comfortably” type of way. In a “the sick and elderly will be cared for” type of way. In a “no child should work” type of way.

yknow i never noticed the sheer rareness of images having ids or alt text on this website until i started adding alt text to my art (and trying to remember to add it to any images i post in general, especially text screenshots) and that makes me kinda sad

i feel like a lot of the 'i hate kids' crowd would be more tolerant if they understood that due to a kid's limited experience of the world that 4 hour flight might just be the longest they've ever had to sit still for or that trapped finger might literally be the most pain they've ever felt in their short life or they might not have ever seen a person with pink hair ever so of course they want to touch it or nobody's told them yet that they can't run around the museum and they only just learned cheetahs are the fastest animals so of course they want to put that to the test. how were they supposed to know etc etc.

the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again

Every time I advocate for voting people are like "no you shouldn't vote! Read this literature, it'll totally change the way you view voting!" And every single time it's the same fucking "you shouldn't vote because both parties are exactly the same so it won't make a difference who wins" bullshit wrapped up in some fancy language
