tw discussion about death, death imagery, murder & suicide
the glorification of serious irl topics in fiction is bad and disrespectful? ok got it
so can we talk about the obvious glorification of death in fiction?
the countless depictions of characters dancing with skeletons in tendentious waltzes even to the point of kissing them?? bonus point if theres flowers everywhere like its a wedding
the countless depictions of characters in sexy positions in coffins with an expression on their face basically saying 'look bud im hot even between four boards'?
the countless depictions of characters bleeding out with an expression of pleasure on their face as if they were experiencing a sexual act instead of actually dying?
the countless depictions of when someone being murdered is seen as a good thing and the murderer is praised for that? HORROR MOVIES HELLO??
fictional death,, even murder or suicide cuz these topics are directly linked to death, are glorified. e v e r y t i m e. even though these are very serious topics irl i never ever seen an anti complaining about all of that
no antis u dont care that something bad irl is 'glorified' in fiction you only care about icky sex in fiction & we all know it

Here’s some positivity for headmates who are the result of fusion!
Fusion can often be a sign of healing, and is a normal, natural process for many systems! Fusion is nothing to fear or avoid, and while it may be confusing or alarming for some, headmates who are a result of fusion are valid, wonderful, and worth uplifting and celebrating in our spaces! So here’s to all the headmates out there who are the result of fusion!
🌷 Shoutout to headmates who fused after intensive work or progress in therapy!
☘️ Shoutout to headmates who fused randomly or with seemingly no outside influence!
🌼 Shoutout to headmates whose fusion is volatile, unstable, or who are at risk of splitting into separate headmates again!
🌱 Shoutout to headmates who kept and maintained their old identities after they fused!
💐 Shoutout to headmates who worked hard internally in order to achieve fusion!
🍃 Shoutout to headmates who, after fusing, became a subsystem or a headmate with headmates of their own in some way!
🌻 Shoutout to headmates who often fuse temporarily and then unfuse later!
🌿 Shoutout to headmates who became a totally different person after they fused!
🌺 Shoutout to headmates who sometimes miss or long for who they used to be before they fused!
🪴 Shoutout to headmates who lost memories of who they were pre-fusion after they fused!
🪷 Shoutout to those who are functionally singlets due to most or all of their headmates fusing in the past!
🌾 Shoutout to headmates who fused in order to help their system reach a smaller, more manageable number of headmates!
🌹 Shoutout to headmates who have fused as a part of their system’s path towards final fusion in the future!
Headmates who are a result of fusion are treasured and special members of their system and the plural community! We so value your unique perspectives and insights, and we are incredibly happy to be able to share these spaces with you. Know that, while different systems will view fusion in different ways, you are not wrong or bad for fusing! You have not killed any previous member of your system by fusing - those old headmates live on through you, even if who they are has changed drastically or seemingly doesn’t exist anymore!
We hope that every headmate who is the result of fusion can take it easy and show themselves some kindness and compassion today. Remember that you are so loved just the way you are! Fusion may be misunderstood or even demonized by some folks, but please know that on this blog, we love and support every headmate who has fused, is curious about fusion, or wants to fuse in the future! Y’all make the plural community a better place, and we’re wishing the very best for you in all that you do. As always, thanks so much for reading, and take care!

I know you said something about Perry's proc last time, but I'm curious to hear more about it! What does "proc" mean exactly? Does it truly make em immortal? 🤔
"Proc" by itself is more of an Action than a Thing. Perry "grey procs" whenever ey start to dissociate. What it does depends on how deep into an existential struggle Perry is currently.
Ey have accidentally dragged toons into the grey through light procing, be it through a teleport or ey're standing too close to a wall. In more severe cases, toons that catch a glimpse of something "wrong" in Perry's gaze suddenly find themself awakening with a jolt in their estate, having abruptly disappeared out of thin air where they once stood. Severe cases are infrequent, but Perry has been shown to be capable of modifying the fundamental attributes of others (out of eir control what exactly the extent of this is, though. Such as accidentally turning eir best friend into a Shyster because they both passed through the Lawbot HQ doorway at the same time while Perry was undergoing high procing.)
Perry's procing also affects emself, however. Times where ey'll suddenly come to a standstill and abruptly blipping out of thin air to everyone else. While other toons simply awaken back at their estates though, Perry...
Tumblr media
Ey don't know what this means, but ey get frozen still staring at whatever this is for a few seconds before waking back up at eir estate.
Of course, this is just one example.
The immortality on the other hand isn't caused by procing, that's just a side-effect of the corrosion ey have from being in The Grey for too long. And it's like... less true immortality, and more the fact ey can die, but ey'll just be brought back after a few minutes due to The Grey basically constantly redrawing em.
Ey remember what happens whenever ey die, it's not exactly pleasant.

ideal ways for me to die
1. old age, peacefully in my sleep
2. after a long and illustrious career i am at a rooftop gala hosted in my honor. i am wearing a beautiful gown, holding a glass of red wine, standing by the railing. a scorned lover approaches and, after a passionate spat, they push me over the edge of the building. the wine glass goes flying, splattering their outfit in red as a visual metaphor for the blood on their hands. as i descend my gown flies around me like two beautiful wings, a bird in flight. a photographer on the street manages to take a photo before i hit the ground and that photo wins the pulitzer. a new york times think piece is released regarding whether or not it's moral to profit off a photo of someone's death. the think piece also wins a pulitzer.
3. sex accident.

we still get immediately shoved out of our immersion in tv shows or films when The Girl find a dead body and immediately shrieks - we just don't find it realistic because we're pretty confident most people would gasp rather than shriek (i.e. sharp inhale rather than sharp exhale) and it also feels unnecessarily (and predictably) misogynistic too, as men encountering corpses almost never do the same on screen
also of course please do tell us if you've actually encountered a corpse unexpectedly, because tumblr is absolutely a place where some people have done this thing and we love a good anecdote
suddenly imagining "burst into song" as a potential response
edit: since lots of people are still responding to this (we were amazed at the huge response over a just 24 hour poll), we want to make it clearer that we were never saying "of course nobody shrieks", we were railing against how on screen, women always do in an over dramatic way, and when men do it's made fun of like they've emasculated themselves by shrieking (so it's clearly a deliberate misogynistic trope)
meanwhile of course some people do shriek, as clearly demonstrated not just by the nearly 11% in the poll, but by all the tags we got inundated with - the main responses seem to be: gasp, swear loudly, vomit, grunt or make some other kind of other inarticulate noise, and shriek
anyway, thanks for playing

Not to keep reliving trauma on main, but I'm getting weird deja vu from where my health was a few years ago and where it's at now. And most of it is revolving around Good Omens.
In May of 2019, we genuinely thought I was dying because I was dying. My organs were in the process of shutting down because my red blood cells were prematurely self-destructing and damaging my kidneys in the process, and I was rapidly coming to terms with the fact that I might not survive much longer. I'd fought the good fight, and I'd lost. Mostly due to medical neglect. And I was mad about a lot of things, but do you know what I remember from the traumatic blur I'm left with?
"I'm going to be so pissed if I die before Good Omens comes out."
I'd waited 20+ years at that point for something like a tv adaptation of Good Omens. Ever since I was a child and my dad read the book to me, and I fell in love with it. And here I was, mere weeks away from the TV release and on the verge of death.
Then like a miracle, a miracle that hinged on human compassion and a doctor being willing to listen to me, I was saved. Dragged back from the jaws of death by a relentless hematology department that refused to give up on me and ultimately saved my life. And a week later, I got to watch Good Omens propped up in my own bed, still weak, still ill, with my heart stuttering in my chest every time I laughed. And I remember thinking, "I did it. I got to see it."
That it's now it's 2023 and my health has tanked again. My organs are rebelling against me and no one seems to know why. But yet again, a few weeks before Good Omens is set to release, I find a doctor who listens to me and is doing all he can to help. Striving with the grim kind of determination that can only come from a place of compassion and care. Like my world is worth saving, and not just his.
Which is rather fitting, I think.

Two people were talking and one went, "That's a funky dead guy on your necklace," to which the other replies, "That's Jesus Christ."

Freak of the week
Danny, in his human form, can take one hell of a punch.
Online he's a well known stuntman, doing absolutely batshit insane stunts that would 100% kill anyone else. He makes a point of flaunting the lack of a meta gene in his genetic tests he took for his audience, and is generally known to be juuuuuust slightly unhinged.
So he's in Metropolis, getting ready to do a stupidly dangerous stunt, when a mind-controlled Superman lands in front of him.
In front of a live stream.
So he can't go Ghost like he wants.
Instead, he turns to the camera and grins, all teeth and feral.
"Who wants to watch me eat a punch from Superman and live?"

If your sapphic ship has never tried to kill each other, or at the very least hated each other, is it really valid?

so I'm seeing people memeing about technoblade's newest video so i'm going to give you all a few words on what its about because it doesnt deserve to be memed. it's serious.
Technoblade has passed away. His father reads a note from him and talks about him with photos.
his real name was alex. His sibling(s) called him dave once as a joke and it stuck. He wanted to do a 'face reveal' but waited too long and was having a hard time with writing it. His father told him 'Alex, you dont have to do anything else. you've done so much for so many people... if you want to now, you can rest'. he wrote one last video on his father's laptop. His father says he lived about 8 hours after writing his last video.
I'll miss him a lot. I loved technoblade. I hope whatever the hell is after all this is good to him.
