I want to rant about Poppy Playtime Chapter 4.

I feel really sad about Doey the Dough man. I mean he kept on saying he just wanted to go home. Come on man-

A new world is possible, my friends. Le Guin famously said: “The profit motive is often in conflict with the aims of art. We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable; so did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings.”

To my fellow US Americans: If you are planning on arming yourselves because of the election results and what might be on the horizons, I urge you to be a responsible gun owner.

Take as many classes as you can. Get certified in gun safety, even if it's not required to own a gun in your state. Get a gun safe. A good gun safe. Lock your gun up. Don't leave it armed. Don't wave your guns or gun-owning status around and don't pose with guns like they're toys. I'd say not to make gun buying an impulse purchase, either. You are investing in something that holds great potential risk to yourself and others - treat it like a responsibility.

I'm not here to argue about if Americans ought to exercise the second amendment in the way it currently exists. That's not the point - we have always had the second amendment, and I doubt it's going anywhere. I am more interested in making sure we don't see a surge in accidental, negligent gun ownership.

As a queer person in the US, I can understand the mindset behind people's spiked interest in arming themselves. I'm not arguing against that. As a child of gun owners, I know just how huge a responsibility it is to own a gun, and I hate the general attitude we Americans have about guns. Please don't contribute to that. If you own a gun, it is you inherent responsibility to take care of that gun (which is why I can't own a gun yet - I don't have the resources to pour into proper ownership).

Yesterday I watched a video of a toddler in Gaza playing with a little red bicycle startle and cry at the sound of a bomb. Today I found the IOF had invaded their house, shot and killed the little boy in front of his mother and thrown them all into the street.

And it wasn't even the only child on my TL that had been killed the same way because the IOF are taking over all the houses still standing in Northern Gaza. They took over the school shelters, made the men hiding in them strip to their underwear in the freezing winter, lining them up and shooting them like dogs. They're ripping up hundreds of years old trees in groves. THEY'RE FLOODING GAZA WITH SEA WATER.

Meanwhile:

I CAN'T TAKE THIS ANY FUCKING MORE. HE'S SENT ANOTHER TWO HUNDRED CARGO PLANES OF WEAPONS TO ISRAEL. WHY IS THIS MOTHERFUCKER STILL BREATHING??????

Prison labor as a legal excuse for slavery is abhorrent, but if you think abolishing chattel slavery was a waste of time or “nothing good happened” because prison labor exists you are SEVERELY underestimating just how evil chattel slavery was.

Crying thinking about Travis stoll becoming head counselor at 12. Crying as I think of him seeing Luke in himself.

Crying thinking about silena thinking the devil of herself as she led the Ares cabin like an angel.

Crying thinking of poor Micheal yew, who knew he was going to die that day and could only hope that none of his siblings saw his demise.

Crying thinking about will solace trying to explain through tears to 11 year old Kayla and 10 year old Austin that Mikey isn't coming home.

Crying thinking of Malcolm pace being temporary head counselor because Annabeth is injured and feeling terrified for his safety and every other camper.

Crying thinking of drew Tanaka who most likely witnessed her dear sister dying and having to take on leadership as a 12/13 year old.

Crying thinking about Clarisse la rue blaming herself for being stubborn and indirectly causing Silena's death.

Crying thinking about Connor stoll finding out his mentor and brother is a traitor. Then loses him. Imagine how he felt when he lost Travis too.

Phoenix legend… he hates losing his progress

Fanfic prompt:

In cadence of Hyrule you can endlessly respawn and with every respawn you get permanent upgrades

Like people often give him chronic pain so maybe he can just straight up rebirth and be back to normal

Until the chronic pains are back because he never gets a break when goes back on different adventures

Like some messed up Phoenix he turns into dust then just respawns stronger than before

While the chain see legend getting more and more tired over several weeks

And him just fighting despite everything

And during a battle with the Shadow legend just sets everything on fire in close proximity while trying to take out the Shadow

Link to the past canonically gives link the ability to create fire with magic like why can’t he just go become a bomb and nuke the entire forest using literally all his energy he has left

Then dies in someone’s arms and evaporates out of existence like that is the end

Just to respawn better than before

Then just respawns again a bit before he was massively damaged by his adventures (which is why he is tiny lil guy in cadence of Hyrule…he dies to often to have the ability to grow up because that takes years of not dying )

And the chain end up in his hyrule again and see a little pink version of legend running around and that pink version immediately comes up to them and just doesn’t let them leave it behind but because as a lil baby legend couldn’t talk all that well even if he knows the words his body isn’t used to talking

So he tries to tell them that he is back via charade

(He hates getting his progress reset and to go back to baby but baby link is much better than pained grumpy teenager…it takes so long to grow up again )

He hunts down the first link he sees (being warriors for plot reasons) and then just aggressively follows him

Warriors just sees child wearing green (all other clothes don’t fit ..he back to wardrobe of a six year old) and then literally was unable to tell him to leave him alone especially because this is a baby version of legend

And while messing up the timeline by picking up a version of legend who has not yet met them would be bad,…

He is very much used to fucking around with the timeline just to pick up green kids (tune and mask can attest to that)

And it still hurts immensely to met legend again after what happened

Because legend is utterly determined to follow him and it literally goes against everything Captain link is not to pick up pink green wearing child

Meanwhile the chain is freaking out because warriors is currently holding what they think is a past version of legend who is still pink haired and tiny

Warriors be like *holding the baby*: “ I tried to put him down but he kept following me … and also refused to stay where he is”

The chain : “Why would you pick him up…, we just lost legend a month ago”

Warriors: “he wouldn’t stop toddling towards me , and bite me when I tried to leave him behind”

(people put cadence of Hyrule after all other adventures but seeing that link is lil guy in that game I like to believe he just can come back however the heck he wants and just constantly uses the pre adventure version of himself for convenience)

The chain all fail at leaving the kid behind so now pink legend is joining the chain because he just invited himself to the party

And also because he has mastered his own cuteness by accident

Everyone sad that legend is gone : * :(*

Legend happy to see them again and to see that everything worked out : *snuggles up to everyone*

The chain : *:,)* “you evil evil creature you make everything so much more complicated”

And legend cannot convince them he still is his rat self who is as bitter as a slice of lime because he cannot talk well enough to taint their vision of him

He can just look at them with disgust when they coo at him and show them the middle finger

The chain just thinks that legend always was a sassy lost child (wind loves his attitude it’s hilarious even if the chain blames him for teaching lil guy insults… which he surprisingly didn’t even do , child came preprogrammed with only rudeness and sass )

Legend is better with insults then other words so who can blame the chain to accuse wind of teaching the kid how to say those

His first word was “fuck” and he kept saying it just to piss of the moms of the group (wars, sky , twilight are moms)

The rest where laughing at it and wind got in trouble

The way people are becoming anti-children nowadays is really sad. And I'm not talking about people not wanting to have kids of their own, that's fine and something that shouldn't be shamed nor up to someone else to debate. No, I'm talking about the people who adamantly hate these little humans for simply existing, wanting to ban them from spaces due to them having emotional reactions that they are still learning to understand (you know, the kind of lessons that everyone had to learn and figure out at one point). It's gotten to the point where I've even seen these types of people genuinely support children being harmed and deny their hurt under the consensus of "Well then maybe they shouldn't be there," in your average public space. Like, imagine thinking hating on children, people who need assistance and guidance, is something to be proud of.

Do you think children of death-related deities (Anubis, Thanatos, Macaria, Hades, etc) see ghosts as what they once were? For example, someone else see a spirit as this translucent being with haunted eyes, but children of death still see them with flesh, proper eyes, actual clothes, all they once had before they passed.

a/n: 'death-related' > chthonic; 1.) of or relating to the underworld; 2.) Pertaining to the earth, earthy 3.) dwelling within or under the earth Disclaimer: mentions death, decomposition, spirits

Yes….and also no…this is pretty complicated since this is a touchy subject, so this’ll be a personal answer.  

It’s not that they can’t, on the other hand, it’s just they just typically don’t? This is because they’re the children of death-related/chthonic deities, so it feels a bit disingenuous to their godly parent realms and their identity. This means they should see spirits of the dead with the marks of decomposition and anything death related because that’s part of death.  On the other hand, they are able to see what they looked like in their prime, because that’s their soul and are able to set an environment. 

Personally, the middle-ground answer is really that the spirits appearance is based on the state of their soul which influences how they appear. Children of Chthnoic deities are able to see and influence their appearance as either more living-like or more death-like because that’s part of their domain.

If you are so anti drama why do you run a fandom discourse blog that, is going to have a lot of discourse, maybe you secretly love it, in the same way those “activists” probably love dead kids because they love talking about them in every context

I actually lost IQ points reading this. You are a scientific marvel. A creature of true untold stupidity. I must contact David Attenborough at once.

Starting the year with Riddle hcs 🌹

I feel so proud that the semi realistic headshots still look good if you flip the canvas... 😤✨ More hcs ↓

Similarly to Epel he has insecurities regarding his body. Unlike him he doesn't go nuts when the spotlight goes to his feminine features, only when his age or mental maturity is questioned due his looks Floyd is an exception because anything he says makes Riddle explode.

He used to take great pride in his idea that he is mentally more prepared for adulthood than most boys his age, that he knew better than his childish classmates, before he was humbled in book 1. Post OB he still thinks he is book smart and mature but does he know how much he has yet to learn, though he still finds rather insulting to underestimate him for age or looks. Summary: call him a child and the effect would be the same as calling him short

Whilst Epel is focused on the conservative sense of masculinity, Riddle aspires to be a gentleman. To be exact, he has taken a liking to victorian etiquette on how to be proper during courtship rituals.

I think he would find tips such as "don't flirt with every lady you meet and don't assume every (young) woman is eager to fall in love with you; maintain a dignified reserve"; "be ready to act the knight if a lady in your company is attacked"; "don't get a innocent woman her hopes up" or "neither party should make the other jealous" quite tasteful. Of course, he's sensible enough to know which habits of 200 years ago he should cross out

Mr Roseheart is probably the one Riddle got his Japanese inheritance from, as it is weird to believe Mrs Rosehearts would chance her last name if she is a big name in the magical medicine industry. Unless his husband was the most prominent figure and she got more prestige with this marriage, unlikely in my opinion as controlling people like her usually take a dominant role in the relationship. So I suppose it's either a case in which each pattner keeps its surname or Mr Roseheart was who changed his

Riddle is autistic but his mother didn't make him go to any tests because she wants to believe his son is "normal". I'm under the impression she could be the type to be ableist just because (sadly many doctors are this insensitive and out of touch despite the irony of their fields) OR she doesn't discriminate neurodivergent people but doesn't want hers to be because she firmly believed if little Riddle knew he was autistic he would use his diagnosis to avoid facing the things he could struggle with or excuse "lazy" behaviour with it or she knows how ableist others can be and wanted to disguise him by making him a functional, well-adjusted neurodivergent individual.

Her reasoning? If he is capable of adjusting and is unaware of his autism he won't try to use "the easy way out of" when confronted about his struggles and he won't be bullied by his peers; don't mistake this as a kind gesture from a mother with good intentions but terrible execution. She believes if he was bullied during his studies he could drop out off medicine and she hasn't been preparing him to be a doctor like her for all his childhood to get her plans frustrated by an external factor such as how his classmates perceive him.

Therefore making him believe he is like the rest + homeschooling would "prevent" this outcome because neither he would interact with possible bullies nor he would know what's "normal" for kids his age so he wouldn't feel different because he didn't have a chance to interact with other children.

Plus interacting with adults and certain kids deemed intellectual enough would enhance his possibilities of "growing out of any annoying habits inherently from young kids" (emotional outburst and "childish stuff" she doesn't like). Which I think is way worse than if she was simply an ignorant ableist doctor, but also makes her a more manipulative and calculating character than what we know of her so far.

It could also make sense as for why she was so mad his son made friends she didn't approve of beforehand, because the only way he could have had external interactions would be handpicked by her.

Anyway that's all for today rambles, follow me if you wish to know more about my downfall in the spiral that is being a twst fan to not lose track of my delusions 🫡

Controversial Danny headcanon time: do you think he'd hurt children? I feel like as much of a monster as he might be, he would at least have some limits like no killing kids. Of course maybe that's just cus he's my skrunkly and I don't like the idea of him doing that but what do you think?

Oh boy I love controversial asks, I’m not kidding. Thanks for the ask, anon :)

Putting this under a cut due to the subject matter it entails, there’s also a mention of pregnancy.

TLDR; is no, he would not target kids specifically.

So, I think for starters it depends on how we define kid—do we mean anyone under the age of 18? Or a prepubescent child? Generally, I see him being open to killing teenagers… but I feel like he might not get much out of killing young children.

I can explain this here, it’s pretty simple. Children make good witnesses. An orphaned child also creates a sob story, and it creates a sense of anxiety in parents about the concept of their own mortality. You get continued publicity by way of continued community engagement about how this poor little murder orphan is doing.

Killing a kid gets fear and outrage… but it’s going to get lost pretty quickly among the rest of the murders, and at most it…what? Makes parents sequester their kids in their homes more?

I think his primary targets are always adults, whether they be young college students barely out of highschool or Grandma Shirley who lives down the block. I think teens would be a spur of the moment kill, something to keep engagement up, or otherwise collateral victims if they happen to be in the wrong place at the wrong time when he’s targeting their parent(s).

Teens, like adults, are also a little bit better at trying to fight back. There’s going to be a little bit more of a thrill element related to it… whereas a child tends to have a very basic series of responses, cry, bite, scream, etc. They can’t really fight back… I honestly think he would probably only kill a kid if they posed a risk to him, like if his mask came off or something.

I think it’s a bit of a power complex thing… but I genuinely think he wouldn’t feel a need to target a child when his first kill was his dad. Like… if you can take out a middle aged man in presumably his prime… why would you need to purposely target children?

That’s Coward behaviour.

I think he wouldn’t target babies for the same reason (straight up just the baby scene from Halloween 2018).

I could see him maybe killing a pregnant woman though? Not entirely sold on this one. Feels a little dark, so maybe it would be the same as kids or teens where he doesn’t target them specifically, but it’s fair game when all bets are off.

ADDENUM: now that it’s been brought to my attention, I realize I failed to make one part clear. I think if he came up with a story that involved a child/pregnant person/a senior/ any sort of category that one might consider “bad to kill”…. I think he would still do it.

I think the story ultimately takes the priority, but it depends on what story he’s trying to tell.

Similarly, because his job as a reporter and interviewing family and friends is more likely to bring him into contact with other adults (since most people try to shield their kids and teens from horrible events)… the result still ends up being where he is more likely to focus on adults.

But I don’t really think it’s a “moral” decision. It’s based entirely on what he gets out of it.
