#bed right by the mirror

[lunarw0rks]

buying an old, secluded house in the scottish highlands, intending on renovating and reselling it. but you find out quickly that it's haunted. like, haunted haunted.

at first, you refuse to believe a man that pretty would be dead. let alone, a nefarious spirit with... questionable intentions.

but, compared to the (literal) horror stories you've heard, spirit!johnny is pretty cordial in his ways of messing with you. always picks up the books he knocks over to startle you, or when you scream at him to give you back your keys, or quit hiding your glasses, dammit

sometimes, when you're in the right mood, you find it comforting to know you're not all alone out in the middle of nowhere. it's not like you can tell your friends and family any details of this. you'll sound downright insane.

you learn to deal with the strong scent of his cologne or the creak of his footsteps (which you only hear because he wants you to, of course).

and—naturally—the feeling of large hands smoothing along your spine, down to your hips, a thumb strumming your lips. possessively, right as sleep engulfs you. the first few times you chalk it up to an erotic fantasy that only surfaces when you're exhausted and bordering on delirium.

however, it proves difficult to rationalize the voice. especially when he knows your name.

#and occasionally his friend appears who is ummmm MASSIVE and /definitely/ scarier #simon thinks its funny to stand behind you in the mirror and disappear right when you notice #hes usually nicer if you set out a cup of tea or cigs for him before bed #you havent heard him talk but sometimes hear a deep chuckle #does this make any fucking sense im experiencing a caffeine crash #do i elaborate or shut the fuck up #unedited #pls spare me #spirit!johnny #spirit!ghoap #[also simon hates you touching his things] #mw2 #call of duty #task force 141 #ghoap #soap mactavish #simon riley #rachel speaks

rita skeeter & womanhood

anyone else ever think about rita skeeters fucked up relationship with femininity and womanhood as if it’s a costume she wears but it just doesn’t fit quite right :/

#she wants. so much #she just! wants! #she wants to be desired and she wants respect and she wants to be beautiful and lovely #but shes awful and nasty and gross #she has to keep a reminder on her bathroom mirror to remind herself to brush her teeth #she cant shave her legs without cutting herself #she wears fancy clothes but it’s all stolen (from stores & exes & lovers) #or she buys them secondhand but it’s all from like 5 seasons ago #she doesn’t removed her makeup before bed and when the next day she just fills it back in and its a mess #she wears the costume of a sophisticated woman but it just never looks right!!!!! #she has to be successful its what she was made for but she was born a fucking woman (disadvantage!) #so she tries her fucking hardest to imitate a woman!!!!!!!!! #she’s playing by the rules!!!!!!!! has to do what she can with what she was given!!!!!!!!! #and what she was given is a womans body!!!!!! #she’s nasty and dusgusting and greedy and violent. but she cant let any of that show #she was born to be famous and she was born with a womans body. she HAS to follow the rules and shes sooo fucking bad at it #rita skeeter is just. such a dyke to me #her relationship with femininity and womanhood beng so fucked up but also desperately yearning to be treated like a lady #like something beautiul and fragile #<— but the thought of a man treating her that way makes her want to kill herself #dyke dyke dyke dyke. #rita skeeter #jen’s moodboards

#i have to fly out to capetown to see mother and im literally debating if i could land in the morning and leave at night on the same day #like. anything longer than that is going to ruin my year. #when she called and did her “katherine. you have to be here on the 10th” i literally sobbed in my bed for the rest of the day 😍😍😍 #not dyeing my hair black for a year and its getting lighter and lighter everyday and i look like her again #and my therapist telling me “you need to do things for yourself.” but like can i? sorry that woman traumatised me and i actually cant :) #like everything i do is informed by her #I'm going to go and just like everytime the only way to keep my sanity is to mirror her. talk and sit and speak and read and eat like her #and its such a terrifying experience bc i remember that im capable of emulating her viciousness and maybe i am my mother's daugher 🤢🤢🤢 #and im going to come back and its going to take fucking months for me to feel like myself again #“oh you look so beautiful just like your mother” i hope you DIE lol !!! the fact that my conception of beauty was shaped by her #growing up with this cruel beautiful detached woman and realising that at the intersection of beauty and wickness is a lifetime of pain #and still being so desperate for her approval- for any metaphysical proximity to her that i felt elated when #people would tell me i look like her. that it meant i was also beautiful like her and maybe she'll love me a little for it #but now i know for a fact that i do look like her and it makes saliva swell under my tongue - that moment right before you throw up- #when people mention it 😍 #last time i was in capetown my optic neuritis flared up (and i know for a fact it was that it was ms-stress related from having to see her) #and i thought i hid it so well even though i had near constant headaches & lethargy until she said “katherine give me the red notebook” #and i knew that she knew all along. it was so acutely humiliating standing there and knowing she knows i cant see which one is the red one #and she tilted her head and said “whats the matter? do you not know what red looks like?” #im never going to have kids. my mother and i read eachother so well it can only mean im never too far removed from becoming her #lol!!!!!!!!!

hiii :3 put on the only orange-adjacent thing i own!!

ive been watching dnp since 2016 and growing up i very much resonated with dan’s content, when i was 13 i was sooo obsessed with dan that i cut my hair exactly like his emo fringe and taught myself to write with my left hand cuz i wanted to be him haha.. i truly feel like i’ve grown up alongside dan in a way and when he uploaded BIG it was really a nail in the coffin(positively haha) to how much i appreciate him as a creator and human being, i truly do resonate with so much of what he has shared about himself and that definitely has always made me feel better about the way i am.. ANYWAYS IM TRULY AND GENUINELY SO SO SO PROUD OF DAN!!! he has grown so much and truly went on to do such amazing things and i can’t wait to experience WAD for the first time ever!!!!!

#sorry for shit quality and dirty ass mirror….im cute though so idgaf☺️☺️ #but i really wanted to post a pic to commemorate this moment #wanted to actually get dressed up and do orange make up but its almost 11 pm like no im going to bed right after☺️ #wadgala

😳

#lucid dreaming is the most epic and teriffying thing sometimes #I've been building it up over the years and i feel like im getting to that point where when i feel that space between sleep and alertness #i can push myself into whatever is happening and mostly be in control #for me it literally feels like im walking through a heavy veil #like that tingling static you feel when your foot falls asleep #its like you're detaching from your body and going somewhere else #i can't pick how my dream turns out i kind of just walk through and deal with whatever I'm dealing with #earlier while napping i did it and i was like in my 50s or so checked my mirror and saw my wrinkles then i went out to my car #lived somewhere else entirely and i get in the car and im going down the highway and I'm in the left lane going the speed limit and this #older guy with curlyish white hair and a peppered beard black sunglasses and a white dress shirt is driving a convertible #and he looks over at me and gets pissed that im “trying to pass him” and proceeds to try and run me off the road #my car starts to begin to flip i can feel this whoosh of air in my face and hair and right before i start tumbling i shoot up from bed #like ive had an exorcism and my hearts going like 90 bpm #it felt so real like you couldn't distinguish if it was a dream even if you tried hard enough #touch taste sight smell its all there #i stg for me lucid dreaming feels like im highjacking the bodies of alternative mes in the universe and using them as temp avatars #to experience some weird shit #lmao 😂 #I don't have apnea or anything else like that so not worried there #but shit man #these have been getting pretty intense over the last few months as ive gotten better at it #ted talk info dump #no magenta here #i feel like i need a safe word for these types of posts #magenta has already taken the mantle of complaining/venting

Oh my god. You know it’s getting bad when you start doing things you don’t even want to do to procrastinate on something you really do want to do.

It would be one thing if it were something like a hobby; but the thing I want to do is also extremely necessary to my life.

#Hhhhhhngh #for three weeks I’ve been doing this #I’ve had all the time in the world #and I have a sneaking suspicion that I’m doing this out of a subconscious desire to prove to myself that I’m actually fucked up in the head #Which is already proof enough that I have that desire in the first place; but I keep going because it’s not enough #I only ever feel like I need care when I’m at my absolute worst #And suddenly after being so exhausted that I fell asleep at 7:00 some days; I’m staying up until 2:30 AM and waking up at 8:00??? #and I feel fine and perfectly awake; but still can’t manage to get myself out of bed until 10:00 because Comfy #I sit and I read for an hour; then I go on my phone and emerge at 5:00 PM #If I go in the bathroom it takes forever to get back out because I end up talking to myself in the mirror about god knows what #I feel like I need some kind of… idk… very strong stimulant in me so I can actually care about things #not that stimulants work like that; but I need to have some kind of catastrophic life event… to get beaten up or something #something to put pure fear and concern in my veins #It is summer and there is almost no chance of me getting kicked or catching a football in the wrong place #and I don’t have to run right now either #I could do something #I know how #But even that is a damned if you do damned if you don’t situation; because that ALSO makes me not want to do things #At least then I’d have a palpable (literally) excuse but uh…. I’m still kind of getting over the last time #I am on my phone all day and I recognize that’s bad; but the thing I need to do is to send an email… which is on my phone; so there’s that #hypocritical #idk there’s something about using limited supplies to deal with a problem that needs more and hoping for the best #it excites me #Makes me feel like a big boy who can handle serious situations #But if I create the problem then it means nothing except that I cannot handle problems at all #I should not have all the responsibilities I do because I am not entirely in my right mind #I am thinking about it though #It’s tempting #get behind me satan

I was up embarrassingly late last night

#i feel like i look tired i didnt get to check in my mirror #i feel strangely invigorated but it feels kinda like that kick of energy you get right before you go to bed #kae.txt

[qoldwater]

I always forget how people back in the olde days used to just die so easily from the flu, until I get the flu myself dhhdhdhf because on one hand I know our medicine is just soo much better now a days but on the other hand I have the immune system of a dead man and once I get sick I'm like the ye olde victorian child on a death bed dhdhdhhd it's been 4 days and I just NOW can get on my phone to watch videos and text, and eat and drink water, and coherently string words together and do more than just lay in bed and moan in pain, and sweat and cough in sick delirium 😭

#im being so deadass #i only slept once between just staring at whatever i was hallucinating on the ceiling and that was last night #and i dreamt that i was eating glass #i know its because ive hurt my stomach and ribs from so much coughing because i can barely talk #at least in my dream i was picky about the glass i was eating LMAOOO i was like NO I WANT THE BUBBLE AMBER DRINKING GLASS NOM NOM #and raided a flea market just to find it and eat it #i dont fucking know #i finally ate some chicken noodle soup and apple sauce too and ive finally had some wonderful and amazing water #i swear i never enjoyed it more in my LIFE #i hate being sick because i get so sick so easily and soo soo so bad #fucking rough man #i had no idea it was Saturday until i just checked #fucking was Tuesday last I remembered god damnit #also its really scary looking in the mirror because I dont look well or look like myself right now #body image warning #but my face looks so hallow and dark and scratched up because apparently I either was scratching in my sleep or something happened #and I'm soo much thinner than the last time I looked in a mirror and got out of bed like 4 days ago #my beard is big and shaggy and i need to shave but i really really don't look good and its hard to do any self care #when you go from looking healthy and glowy to pale and dark and thin in just a couple days #like fuuuuuuuuuuuuuck that #im caught in a state of #this isn't reality #which i know isnt safe or good but ill be okay because i know im just in shock and that i cant push myself through it #especially in this weakened state #i just need to take it slow and steady #drink my water stay in my blanket and eat what i can and take my meds and thank FUCK I came through the fog and rest

Emil: he/she Tael: he/it Unnamed human: they/them Madge: she/her

~~~~~~~

Emil was already pulling on his collar as Tael guided him to the hunting area. Anger burned in him and he was looking for anyone he could take it out on that wouldn’t out right kill him for doing so.

Tael grinned as he pulled a piece of fabric out with his free hand and held it in front of Emil’s face. “Get their scent.” He ordered. 

She only stopped pulling against her collar to sniff the fabric and then take a moment to smell the air. Then once she caught the scent she was snarling and pulling at the direction it was in. 

“Look at me.” He ordered, yanking on her collar. When she turned to look at him, he narrowed his eye “This one is a kill on sight, understand?”

How she wished she could rip that fucking green eye out. “Yes.” Was all she said before focusing back on the scent.

Once he let go of her collar, she took off; knowing damn well he wouldn’t be fair behind with that rifle. 

She grits her teeth as she runs, following the scent trail. Her fury only burned further as she imagined one day chasing Tael down instead, imaging the sound of crunching sticks and leaves as the crunch of his bones. 

Emil jumps up onto a log before leaping off of it, remembering the hidden bear trap that his Master had hidden in front of it.

The cold air rushing past him hurt his face but the scent of the target was getting stronger, so he had to already be getting closer. 

Were they not running? Were they choosing to hide instead? Ridiculous, hiding only results in being hurt even more.

The sound of poorly stifled crying and quiet begging caught his attention, coming from the same direction of the scent. 

“Come on- Come on, please-” The voice begged.

He slowed his pace as he got closer, and approached a tree. The area was familiar, if he had to place his bets-

There’s a metallic snap sound that’s quickly followed by a muffled scream and sobbing.

They were stuck in a bear trap. 

A twig snaps under his hand and the person goes completely silent.

He could see the person’s brown hair as he walked around the tree, a growl emitting from his throat as he got ready to lunge at them.

They slowly turned around to look at him with wide fear filled green eyes.

Any hesitance he had flew out the window the moment he saw those fucking eyes, as overwhelming rage took over. He lunged, with hands aiming straight for those eyes.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

A loud crash and wave of pain shocked him awake. His head was spinning, there was a sharp pain in his hands and face, and warm wetness was quickly starting to appear on his hands and face as well. 

He tried to look around, wherever he was was definitely inside and the room he was in was dark.

Knocking came from one side of the room. “Emil?” A tired sounding voice called out.

That was… Madge’s voice. 

“Emil, can I come in?” She asked.

He tries to move to try to find his way onto something softer than whatever sharpness he was on, but pain shot through his hands again earning a whimper out of him.

“I’m coming in.” She says before reaching for the emergency key to unlock his door from the outside.

~~

Madge opens the door and flips the room light one before looking around the room. Her eyes land on what once was a mirror but now laid in shards with Emil stuck in the middle; blood dripping from her face and hands where the shards had embedded themself.

Alarm bells ring in her mind as she rushes over to the vampire. “Lucifer, Emil! Are you-”

She got too close too fast, causing Emil to snarl and bare her teeth at her.

“Emil, you’re bleeding!” Madge then loudly says, successfully getting the other to pause. 

Emil looks down at her hands, seeing the blood for the first time and seeing blood dripping down onto her hands as well. 

The two sat in silence for a moment before she held her bloodied hands out and looked up. “..Help?”

The elf lets out a sigh of relief and slowly approaches to help Emil up onto her feet. “Yeah, I’ll help you. Come on, let's get you to the bathroom first.”

*pushes "Ask Me About Snails AU" button*

How's the boy coping with the fact his sister is gone into a dimension he most likely doesn't even know about. Sunset went into the mirror when he was - what, 10? 5? (<- bad at pony ages), - so that's bound to hurt, unless she tampered with his memories beforehand; or she went before he could even remember her

Don't even get me started on how well Sunset is dealing with the fact her Human Bro isn't her Actual Bro. Well, he kinda is, but not, and it's such dissonance source. Nice fake memories to nod along to here, Sunset

VIBRATIN.G . you are speaking my language.

so this is unfortunately a au(?) ive been gently nursing since i was a babychild fixating on mlp.

long story short he is certain shes fine even though everyone is telling him she is probably dead (he knew she was scary powerful. she was celestia's personal student, for, uh, celestia's sake!). celestia is annoyingly cryptic about the whole thing (she knows sunset went into another dimension of course but all she will tell her poor family is ohhh shes uhhhh not with us anymore. to avoid any normies going THERES ANOTHER DIMENSION? so everyone just thinks she died or something ): except snails who KNOWS BETTER. (and snips who maybe half believes him, and kind of thinks he's just in denial, but what does he know? they were both Infants when she disappeared).)

snails tracks down and recruits a very bitter trixie to go figure out wtf happened (i made this au before trixie became a main character) and they tear spacetime asunder and blast celestia's influence into the ground together

#NICE FAKE MEMORIES TO NOD ALONG TO THERE SUNSET. #what IIIIII wanna know and never got an answer to (did the eqg series ever touch on this????) is where is eqg's original sunset #did it have one?? #i dont think i fleshed out poor eqg snails much back then. he is so sweet. doesnt know what hit him. #his sister turned him into a god. and for what. wheres his real sister. #she tells him after the whole thing. and he accepts it but damn he lays in bed and kinda stares at the ceiling. a lot. #she misses her tiny little brother he was jsut a tiny little colt didnt even have his cutie mark when she left #she did NOT say goodbye either just sent him a letter like hey dude if i disappeared one day youd know i was doing cool magic shit right #like two months prior. the second she heard about the mirror. and he was like yeah right on. then she left. #i was gonna draw smth to go along with this but i just #explodes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #couldnt mush my emotions into a single image #sleeper agent baby fixation reawoken cringe plot lines and everyhting intact #not art #eqg #asks #specialshinytrinkets

what's the point of google harvesting all my consumer/marketing data if i can't search "headphones with enough bass to drown out the doom spiral brain goblins" & have it understand + deliver the kind of product i am looking to purchase.

#hello tumblr i am 32 & last night could not fall asleep until 6am b/c i made the mistake of looking at the mirror too closely before bed. #i remember predicting at age 17 that i was not gonna do a good job coping with Inevitable Physical Signs of Aging & god damn i was so right

lucas north the hottie this and i want lucas to lick me from my chin to my navel that .. why is no one asking the real questions. why is no one else wondering about the glasses and the framed picture of the virgin mary and christ on his nightstand??

#as a christian i am telling you right now that is unsettling and creepy. #this is more annoying in my brain than the mirror facing his bed and the giant bottle of hand lotion in series 9 was #those are at least kind of easy to figure out. #but why is baby jesus involved #my brain is hyperfocusing so hard on this rn. #the real questions.

looking in the mirror several times a day just to confirm that i have literally no clue what i look like

#for the amount of time i spend looking at myself in the mirror you'd think i do yet. no #every picture of me looks different which looks different from mirror me which looks different from what i assume i look like #i have no idea genuinely!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! there is a mirror right next to my bed and i have to look in it every 5 minutes or #my conception of self dissolves out of existence #my conspiracy theory about this is that i have a crooked nose so it makes my face look completely different depending on the angle #but who's to say #i generally conceptualize myself as having light brown hair and brown eyes but that's not even trueeeeeeee wtf #based on evidence i have to say that my natural hair is very dark brown and my eyes are like. dark blue. they look brown from a distance id #and my hair is dyed red right now but the dye is faded and my roots are growing in which adds a whole extra level of confusion

[wizardnuke]

the cord length of this minifridge is going to heavily dictate how drastically i aam going to be readjusting my room for this

#like if i have to I'll put it against the wall w the mirror bc there's a free outlet there but i do not want to do that #if i can't get it beside my bed (can't use the outlet right there bc i have so many things plugged in) but there's one abt a yard away) then #(the one that's a yard away is underneath my bed) #then i aaam probably going to have to do tetris #i don't wanna move my desk but i Will

questions about Harvey's other (darker?) persona so far:

is he aware of this other persona? how does he refer to it?

does he lose time? how much? how often? how does he deal with it?

it seems like something that wouldn't be public knowledge ie. very few people know about it if any. so who else knows?

was Bruce aware of it? ie. did Harvey confide in him about it?

is he seeing a psychiatrist? does he take medication?

is his awareness of it the reason why he abstained from running for mayor in the past (per 1x03)?

did it take control during the fight in 1x03 being the one to punch the mutant ie. is it protective of Harvey and comes forth when Harvey is threatened?

does this other persona end up sleeping with Rebecca March (per the teaser trailer where Harvey wakes up confused in a fancy bed)?

does stress bring out this other persona? will we see it as Harvey runs for mayor and/or as he looks into the Court Of Owls?

will we see this other persona take hold/be in control in an obvious way?

#harvey dent #thoughts #gotham knights #twoface #from what i remember of the trailer.. yeh. i'm thinking Harvey wakes up in that fancy bed - whether his or a woman's - and not know #how he got there. and that mirror punch - i'm so looking forward to what leads up to that #there's also a moment where the talon is behind him: does his other persona come out and save him? does the talon simply #deliver a message or is it there for someone else? does someone else save Harvey?? i'm just SO EXCITED for his story arc!!!! #is 'persona' even the right term? or is it 'personality'? or 'alter ego'?
