some atheists will claim that they support all minority religions that are separate from Christianity UNTIL someone from said minority simply jokes about atheists or calls them out for saying disgusting antisemetic/islamphobic/etc claims and then suddenly go “actually all religions should be banned, it’s a
mental illness😡😡😡”

Snow Blind
New mattdrai fic: Snow Blind!
Prologue out now :) you can read here!
Summary:
The boy hears his name for the first time as he heaves for breath, sprawled naked on the linoleum floor of an ice rink basement, surrounded by melting chips of ice. He isn’t cold, and his breath doesn’t cloud out in front of him with each frantic gasp, but he shivers with his whole body.
“Do you know where you are?”
The boy shakes his head in short little jerks back and forth. It smells like an ice rink, a smell he just knows intuitively, the connection already there in his brain before he knew he needed it.
“Your name is Matthew,” the man tells him as he kneels and tugs the boy––Matthew––into a seated position by his shoulders.
Matthew shudders at the warmth emanating from the large, callused hands holding him in place.
"I am your father. You are my creation. And one day, you're going to win the Stanley cup."
Or: Matthew is a boy carved and extracted from ice, a tool in the shape of a body made for one purpose and one purpose only. He's not meant to know how to do anything else.
If only it were ever that easy.

Okay so the text warning on your most recent post cannot be seen without clicking into the post bc of the mature community label. Idk if that affects blocked tags at all, but the post being behind the label gate also blocks people from physically seeing the tags ahead of time. If the image is under a read more, clicking on the mature label warning bypasses it entirely. Unsure of what to even do, but thought you should know.
das good to know! the community labels are new to me, so I dunno what the "proper" procedure is besides "use that + tw tags". if anyone knows what the best practices are outside/instead of that lemme know!

[TWST CHAPTER 7 SPOILERS!]
Please scroll if this isn't your cup of tea.
I'm mostly just brainstorming but there are spoilers!
Okay? They gone? Alrighty so we're asleep. I honestly figured Mal was gonna overblot super early because he's the only one that really can without us having to worry about him dying. Like everyone else was an "oh crap we gotta stop this now" moment, Malleus is more of a "eh we'll get to it in 3 to 4 business days" type of guy.
I am super interested in how the rest of this is gonna go tho. It's Idia's time to shine so I'm really hoping for those old school rpg vibes. Like are we gonna do a Majora's Mask/Kindergarten time loop where we fight malleus multiple times, he resets us, and we get new pieces to the puzzle on the next go round that brings us closer to beating him? Or are we going to go walking around waking our friends up like collectibles for one big showdown? Is Malleus even in the dream world? I can either see them doing the "he can't be here too, so this is a world where he never existed"(I will cry) or the "he's here and the games boss is keeping his eyes on you" side note tho it would be fun to see what Sebek is like without Malleus, who's his new hyperfixation?
And my now main headcanon, Malleus is really freaking strong, like REALLY strong. I personally don't think we all could beat him with force. In sleeping beauty Maleficent gets stabbed through the heart with a silver sword after Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather bless it. Now they could do the obvious boring route of having Silver fight and beat Malleus after Lilia shares what little power he has left with him or OR they could have silver do some serious emotional damage, absolutely break his heart. I think Malleus on some level genuinely believes his doing good, silver just broke down in front of him over this, now he can be with his dad forever! So tell him he's wrong, have silver chew him out about this, have Idia give him the "everybody dies and that's okay talk." They could also combine the two to severely weaken lilia, making malleus panic, have a much weaker boss battle, and then sad heart to heart. But honestly that follows the pattern of the other chapters and I kinda want to break from it a bit.
Anyway this was super rambly, I just have lots of thoughts and wanted to put them out there, I am way to invested in ch 7.
To anyone all the way down here I offer my ultimate ch 7 "headcanon"
In which Idia fights god to get the internet back.

I will forever be amazed by and happy about how much abuse the human body can take. I was remembering some fact about the human body being melted by radiative and convective heat transfer before even getting to the surface of magma inside a volcano (prompted by @macksting thinking about Laios being disappointed about not being able to eat magcargo, I think), and I started looking up the decomposition temperature for carbon-oxygen and oxygen-oxygen bonds, and I also ended up seeing that the temp for total degredation of dna is only around 190 C, and like. That's practically nothing! No wonder people sunburn, dna-based life is just incredibly easy to rip apart at the chemical level! And that got me thinking about how phenomenal blisters are as a protective mechanism. Like, I've tried to hurt myself intentionally with heat before, and shit just blisters up and practically sticks its tongue out at you. Like, good luck even getting through the epidermis, much less through this fluid layer and into literally any of the dermis, you fool. And even then, there's just so much redundancy and ability to reroute within the human body that destroying yourself in a meaningful way just. Takes so incredibly much literal physics-sense energy. I know that as humans we're used to throwing around tons of energy without a thought, what with our bridges and tall buildings that we built that store immense amounts of potential kinetic energy, steel forged edges that an entire furnace of energy went into settling the atoms into just the right pattern, engines and motors and generators mediating billions of atoms jumping together all in a short time, but like. Geez. It takes *work* to turn a human into not-a-human. The easiest bets are often hunger and disease/infection, pitting life against life, but even then, the body can and will use every ounce of itself before giving up. Like, you can eventually overpower yourself, but your body will take you to the fucking mat over it, and I think that's really wonderful. Crying a little over it. I know that if nobody's got me, my own body's fucking got me
