Standing, Asalun, & Associates
An AOM &c. AU that nobody asked for, so I'm delivering!
This is me taking Mystery Incorporated, Dead End: Paranormal Park, Hilda, Mob Psycho 100, and let's be honest, the whole ghost segment of The Sword Interval that lives rent-free in my mind into one vibeful concept: Horatio and Marcus run a paranormal investigation business.
Due to all of their proposed names being terrible puns or just not catchy, they gave up and called it Standing & Asalun. They run it out of what is Horatio's Flowers in AOM, and they do extremely lackluster business. However, Celia thinks it's the most delightful fucking thing and inserted herself into the investigation so much that they essentially hired her. She still has a day job, like Marcus, and unlike Horatio MyOwnBoss Standing. Eventually Allison joined in, and even if they would hire him he doesn't actually want the job, so he's technically a contractor. Still, the addition of another regular meant that they finally felt like they had to change the name to Standing, Asalun, & Associates.
Season One
Season one is the alternate story to AOM and begins with things going poorly as usual - they're not actually that bad at their job, but they have a hard time finding people who actually need paranormal things investigated, or even stuff they can put on their video channel - until Sid blows into town, with his parents not far behind. Horatio is instantly convinced that something is Off. No one else agrees - obviously Sid is just having a bad time and is also sixteen years older than when they last saw him. Horatio is ready to acknowledge that he was just too hungry for a lead when Sid starts having dreams that are very clearly not normal weird but paranormal weird. On an island that seems to have nothing paranormal going on, there's nowhere they could possibly be coming from...unless Sid's recently arrived parents have something to do with it. But they're not even witches, let alone known to be capable of whatever this is. So why do they seem to make the dreams worse but their muddy message clearer? SAA - but especially Horatio and the newest associate, Sid - will stop at nothing to find out.

Spotify Wrapped #23!
In honor of SPOTIFY WRAPPED,  send me a number 1-100 and I’ll write you a starter based on the song.
"These Words" by Natasha Bedingfield

The girl was bent over her work station, plenty of rolled up pieces of paper bunched up and strewn about. Drafts (though more like doodles at this point) of machinations and robotics. She was clearly far too caught up in her thoughts to have noticed she left the garage doors way open (or maybe she just didn't mind). Metallic hand tap tap tapping away at her temple with growing frustration before letting out a long groan.
"I need some help, some inspiration. But it's not coming easily."

Avi C. Engel — Too Many Souls  (Cruel Nature/Somnimage)
Tumblr media
This music floats in a shadowy, liminal space, its minimalist folk textures hanging like mists; the songs feel not so much performed as tuned into, tapping spirit-ridden ambiguities at the edge of perception.  The artist, Avi C. Engel is from Toronto; they’ve been active in that cities out folk scene since the aughts, though only recently as Avi.  With Too Many Souls, they’ve built a hushed dreamworld, full of ectoplasmic tones and ghostly knocks.
The most striking cuts cluster towards the beginning of this album, “Hold This Flame,” especially.  The song seeps spectral emanations, a blinking long tone (maybe keyboard, maybe guitar) flickering like marsh lights in the murk.  Engel sings the title phrase at a near whisper, wreathing its slight tonal fluctuations in doubled vocals.  A guitar jangles in another room.  A rough cut bowing sound—possibly the gudok referenced in the credits—moans softly.  The percussion is kept to a faint tap of fingers on wood.  The parts are so simple, yet the effect electrifies. 
“Ladybird, What’s Wrong?” relies more on melody and beat, but for all that, wafts somewhere outside what you expect from folk.  Here again, the vocals shade each other like smudges of charcoal, in unison mostly, but flaring sometimes into eerie harmony.  The guitar pursues a bucolic ramble studded with blue notes, but there’s not a hint of sunshine in it.  Instead a chill blows in from parts unknown; a room where someone died turns suddenly, inexplicably cold.
Later on in the track listing, Engel turns to more conventional folk forms.  “Woolly Mammoth” has some of Kath Bloom’s wavery spirituality, while “The Oven Bird’s Song” reminds me, just a bit, of Sarah McQuaid.   These songs are lovely, but they don’t leave the same dream-like aftertaste as some of the others. 
Engel closes with a cover, the much-loved, much-interpreted blues spiritual “Wayfaring Stranger.”  In their hands, it takes on an eerie glow, a glitch beat of looped tones under the weathered swoop and sway of that bowed instrument.  The cut is as elemental as ever, and also futuristic, but maybe just outside time and the world we know, and touching those other worlds that we intuit sometimes.

The Hunger Games : LA BALLADE DU SERPENT ET DE L'OISEAU CHANTEUR, comment Coriolanus s'est construit
Le film nous emporte dans un monde étrange séparé en deux. L’histoire d’amour entre Lucy Gray et Coriolanus est compliquée, entre devoir, non-dits et un monde en plein chaos. Si vous n’êtes pas familier à l’histoire de cette saga, il faudra voir un minimum 2 ou 3 fois pour saisir tous les détails du récit assez dense. Deux acteurs crèvent l’écran dans les rôles des deux protagonistes du film.…

ALSO trolley problem answers for spinder & anyone else who you think has a creative solution 👀
from this ask game
Spinder gets the point of this thought exercise but if they're going to ask such a contrived question, he's going to give a contrived answer. Which means he would learn a lot about trolleys and how easy it is to derail them (I am far from an expert but I think it would depend on the landscape. I suspect a trolley with a cable grip, like in San Francisco, is harder to derail if the cable grip is active, but idk). He's got a whole plan for derailing, or otherwise mechanically disrupting the trolley (if it stops pulling power does it stop moving? how fast can he get on the roof?). Aside from his absolute pettiness he also can't help but imagine the fallout from having vehicularly manslaughtered one or more people and he doesn't think he could deal with that.
Christina "now you're thinking with warpals" Larousse would just warp the trolley. Ideally this would happen after she already was not in the trolley, but if she has to die with it, so be it. In general, if sacrificing herself would save everyone else, she'd probably do it. But if there are other people in the trolley, as in some versions of the problem, because she's not going to sacrifice them to warp. Hypothetically she could just warp away the split in the track, thereby derailing the trolley and saving everyone. But that's a much smaller target than a trolley and harder to hit when she's moving. If she had to actually abide by the rules of the exercise she would kill the one person. Unless that one person was her father. Then she'd be so paralyzed about it that she'd do nothing and the five people would die. Which is still a lot less people than she indirectly enabled Althea to kill, but that's cold comfort.
Althea would let the five be killed without hesitation if there was a single person among them that had ever pissed her off. She doesn't really care either way, but it would feel better to get a little revenge. However, she would also switch away from a track Christina is tied to, an absolutely frigid comfort for Christina.
Vic, among others, has pointed out that if you do nothing, you're not responsible for what happens. Which is a tenuous position, but he would like it to be true. But he'd also rather kill one person than five, so make of that what you will.
Celia and Allison are still wondering what kind of Gotham-ass trolley line this is, like, first of all, how did these people get tied to the tracks? Is this some kind of a trick? Are the five people all robots and the one person a human? There's just not enough information here.
Dez would be extremely dismayed by the idea that the five people could be robots. But if they were, they have backups, right? Right? Syndy is already holding him back from steering away from the five probably-robots, because she considers herself an expert on how humans die, actually, so they can't run over the human. If the robots turn out to be humans, they are both scarred for life and also the first androids to go to jail, probably. They develop a weird game of chicken where they keep saying they're going to delete the memories but come up with reasons not to. Doing this only deals them more psychic damage.
"You just gotta kill the one person," Avis says, with total conviction and complete boredom. "That's how these puzzles work. You gotta do a shitty thing, so you have to do the least shitty version of the thing." It's a toss up if she'd automatically run over the five if she was considering whether or not to run over Sid as the one person, though.

It will take me a long ass time to get Emet an amaro since that requires getting every dps class to level 80, BUT. in character, he has one, named Amicus. Which just. means "friend". Which is both cute and lazy because emet never puts effort into naming shit unless he feels the need to
