#a plague on both your houses

Me when I saw that snoozing tumblr live now works for 30 days instead of 7: 😀

Me when I saw that snoozing tumblr live no longer removes its icon from the bottom bar AND that there’s no way to make the little “NEW” pop up go away either: 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

#i hate it i hate it i hate it #and because of that stupid pop up i can’t ignore it #it won’t blend into the background in my brain because the stupid pop up won’t go away so I keep focusing on it #violence towards tumblr live #violence towards the pop up #a plague on both your houses #tumblr things #why is tumblr like this

Anyone else equally despise “this utterly unobjectionable fantasy depiction is racist/sexist/etc.” bullshit and “this puerile edgelord grimdark is actually excellent writing” bullshit? Like you don’t have to pick just one, you can hate bookburning moralistic scolds and people who think impressing middle-school smokers with your nihilism is an achievement.

[furiouser-and-furiouser]

i'm just gonna say it

the people who shelve their books with the pages facing out need to be stopped. i know they are just doing it to get a reaction, but surely we have reacted enough by now. let this madness end.

you have to understand that doing this is like covering the labels of your canned goods with white sleeves. you have not created visual cohesion; you have created mental and spiritual darkness. you reach for a can - what is it? well now you must do extra work to find out. your days are burdened with mystery and toil. you take the covers off one by one until you find what you need. if you cursed yourself and your progeny in this moment, you would be right to do so.

literacy is one of the most profoundly transcendent things about the human species. that we can scratch a few lines on a surface and anyone who speaks our language can immediately understand their meaning? that is nothing short of a miracle. do not spit on your ancestors by hiding the words from yourself! you are a disgrace to evolution and to your mother!!!

put. the books. back. the right way. now.

“Subterranean Homesick Alien” might be my favorite song on that album.

Yess that one is so good! I will always love Exit Music (For a Film) too even though it’s more popular because it is just so hauntingly beautiful in its condemnation and it always reminds me of Harold Perrineau’s performance as Mercutio in Romeo and Juliet specifically because he absolutely played the fuck out of that role. But yeah hearing the same recited line at the end of the song always gets me.

#i know the song is more so from the perspective of Romeo and Juliet but the last lines always remind me #of Mercutio and his death #my mind just goes there immediately #a plague on both your houses

“Bangel shippers don’t need to mention Spuffy to justify their shipping! Spuffy shippers do!”

Yeah... no. Not at all dude. Just because that’s what you claim to have scene doesn’t make it true.,

A fucking pox on all of you!

#it's giving mercutio saying 'a plague on both your houses' as he's dying #do you think izzy would have been familiar enough with romeo and juliet to reference it? cause he's definitely gay enough to do that #our flag means death #ofmd #izzy hands #gif

not sure if this counts as an AU but.. thinking about the Per Aspera crew as horror game bosses like.. you are wandering through a forested mountain range and you know somethings wrong because the forest shouldn't be this eerily silent, this devoid of life, and then you hear the crash of falling trees and there is a hand that is half your size glowing golden in the night and it is grabbing you and its claws are digging into your flesh and you see the spines running down the golden arm that is far too long as it lifts you over a crater in mountain, over a coiled, serpentine thing with a visage that is not of this world, and if you look closely you can see the shape of a child curled at the centre of the thing, golden hair reflecting the glow of the creature and if you listen closely you can hear her sobbing, 'Don't hurt me, I don't want to do this'. you are sailing through the astral sea when you see an ephemeral, resplendent spelljammer cutting through the starry waters and you rejoice because you have been lost on the seas for so so long, so you board the ship looking for help, supplies, anything, and you are greeted by a blue fire genasi (you wonder, do those even exist? but you can't get off the ship now because where else will you go?) and she tells you she is the captain of this ship but as far as you can tell there is no crew on board, and if she is not appearing right behind you from a trapdoor you've never noticed she is always in the engine room 'fixing the ship' even though the ship seems to be sailing perfectly fine ('Where are we going?' you ask her once and she doesn't even turn to look at you, 'Don't worry about it') and if you are ever so unlucky as to damage the ship in any way, you begin to catch flashes of red and orange out of the corner of your eye, a fire genasi wearing the woman's face who whispers at you with hollow, angry eyes 'Don't you fucking dare hurt my ship'. you are sailing through the astral sea when you see a rotting, decaying spelljammer, so badly damaged it's barely moving although you have to wonder how it's even staying afloat at all, and out of some morbid curiosity you climb on board and the deck of the ship is in no better shape than the hull, the marks of hard-fought battle - scars in the wood from sharp blades and arcane energies, stains of blood and oil splattered about - still fresh but you know time doesn't pass on the astral sea so who knows how long ago this all took place, and as you climb below decks you start to notice the writings on the walls, pieces of parchment nailed to every surface and connected with fraying, rotting threads, or words etched directly into the wood, the deep gouges barely readable, and you start to hear the creaking and clanking of rusted machinery slowly moving about and you turn a corner to see a figure standing in a room facing the wall, slowly scratching yet more of that unintelligible writing into the bones of the ship, and it turns as the rusted dented mechanite stares at you with eyes ablaze and he asks 'Who are you? Where is my crew?' as sparks of arcane lightning begins to arc through the room. you are running through a feywild forest and you know, even without the figure chasing you, that you have made a horrible mistake, you should have known better, should have been more careful, should have kept your impulses in check, and now you are being chased through an unfamiliar forest and the figure, the Hunter pursuing you knows this realm like the back of his hand, knows every tree and shrub and vine that is slithering up to grasp at your ankles, and you glance back desperately to catch any glimpse of your pursuer but there is no pursuer, he has hidden himself with some arcane trick or some innate power or just the knowledge that this realm is his home, and you hear his voice even though you cannot see him as he cries out 'You should not have hurt my family. Prepare to face the Hunter of Hundkiln'

sorry no Vhas yet maybe I'll update with one for him once we get more of his whole deal

#rolling with difficulty #asto speaks #well i lied only kyana's and finbar's really work as video game bossfights #dani's is more... horror short story? vr-la's is horror comic #bc dani's much more psychological and the environmental storytelling of vr-la's one would be pretty interesting.. probably #in hindsight vr-la's reads like it could be a magnus archive entry LMAO #contrary to whatever you may think (especially if youre in the discord) i dont actually like most horror #like i've only listened to abt ~10 episodes of tma bc it started fucking up my sleep thats how much of a wuss i am #like i dont actually *enjoy* horror but idk i had so much fun writing this. for some reason #hell i dont even enjoy *writing* most of the time #all the others are kinda based on a specific scenario like kyana's is if she never left the cenobium and suvi snapped before she did #(if you've watched/read jjk0 video game bossfight suvi is very much just orimoto rika) #vr-la's and finbar's are pretty self evident #dani's is kinda.. inspired by alfonso of the stultifera navis making this my second rwd brainworm that's just an arknights reference #captains that are cursed to haunt their empty ships plagued with has beens and could have beens #(her one is the only one absolutely not meant to be read as literal btw its a very 'that house has been empty for 40 years' kinda vibe) #found it kinda funny that dani's and vrla's start in very similar ways bc they both kinda have that i am the ship and the ship is me thing #dani's vibe in this is just more illusions and delusions and vrla's is more decaying forgotten grief #a ghost of a mechanite haunting a corpse of a ship

[talentforlying]

standing before you today to say that the jld writers' choice to assign constantine the house of mystery, aka the one that belonged to cain, was a WILD move and SHOCKINGLY emblematic of a lot of who he is as an archetype, particularly in relation to his family: as betrayer son and brother, defiler of his father's house, favorer of bloodless sacrifice yet steeped in the opposite, the first killer (or so he believes), cardinal sins of pride and envy, murderer of those he claims to love, liar to the face of god. cursed forever to walk alone, city-coded, shielded from vengeance but unable to shield those around him, slaking the earth in blood where he only ever wanted to sow, an eternity of regret is not enough to repair the damage he has done.

#( ooc. ) OUT OF CIGS. #mind you most of these descriptors are either self-inflicted or driven into him by his father. but do we See the Vision #like babes i don't like a lot of what new 52 did to him but i fucking LOOOOVE what the house of mystery stands for #reason 92479 why i Also go insane about cain + abel imagery with manny the angel too because bitch: You Are Also Cain #manny and nbc constantine? that is cain leading a new him down the same path so he can pass the cycle off and finally be free #that is 'i will steep your hands in blood so that mine may look cleaner' #ALSO why i go feral about the serial killer that killed constantine's dad being called 'the family man' #and why that bit from jubilee's about cain's house collapsing and killing him in the same year as adam's death makes me assign thomas Adam #it's all a wee bit too judeo-christian for hellblazer i fear but for new 52? i'm eating that shit with both hands like a feral raccoon #the ONE redeeming factor for me is that goddamn house of mystery #also there was an spn thread i had some years back with my friend livi (bestie i miss you) where demon dean gave john the mark of cain #and i STILL think about that shit daily. he would think it was appropriate and either bear that shit stoic or lose his goddamn mind #( character study. ) A WALKING PLAGUE OF A MAN.

I think at least part of the covid derangement we're seeing from the left is caused by the fact that life did go on after, without any great lessons learned. There was no dramatic catharsis, no big reveal, no incontrovertible truths that the skeptics or deniers were forced to accept. As almost no one disputes, more people died than would have if we'd done more, and less people died than would have if we'd done less. And no one will ever be held accountable or rewarded for either. It's hard to see how they could have been.

But the wishful thinking, the hope that COVID will ravage populations that have moved on, coming from people who claimed to care about others and to listen to the science, is both ungrounded in reality and quite sickening.
