What song(s) if any remind you guys of Sunrey? ( 〃▽〃)

[leona-florianova]

No, Jayce...What the fuck...He was dying of terminal illnes at like 30... Terminal illness caused by all the pollution in Zaun (Piltover mining operations, The Grey, the sewer system) .. What he really wanted was at least little bit more time to figure out and prevent the cause... To help the people of Zaun that work n live in the fissures...

But that part of Viktors character was lost at this point so whatever

Anyway... whats up.. S2 was very hollow.

So I had another idea come at me while making lunch (I'm starting to sense a pattern with myself, lmao)

What if when Jazz sends out letters to the colleges she wants to get into, she gets sent rejection letters from every single one... except the local community college. She's absolutely devastated about it. She thought that she did everything she could to be chosen. How could every single one reject her?

Danny, of course, hears about it and asks Tucker to check and see if something happened digitally. Surely, Technus or Vlad or someone messed with something to sabotage her. But when Tucker checks, there's absolutely nothing wrong. She still has her perfect grades and attendance record all set with no marks. Her community service hours are all there. It's only when he looks at the letters themselves that he finds the problem...

After looking online to see what the letters look like, he comes to a puzzling realization... the letters were fake. It's a good fake, but it's not the real thing. The signatures were off, and the writing had been changed.

This is what leads him down the rabbit hole.

He tries to ask about it online to ask others who've also been rejected. Except nobody is answering him.

Sam tries to call the numbers listed on the websites of the colleges... but the person who answers is strangely unknowledgeable about the college they represent.

The only college that seems normal about it was the nearby community college. And that somehow feels the least normal about everything.

It was only when he heard his mom complaining that they never heard from family anymore after they moved to Amity that he figured it out.

Containment. Nothing is leaving Amity. No emails, texts, letters, or posts online. Everything was being blocked.

Of course, this sends him on a mission as to why and how. He spends weeks on it. Sam and Danny actually began to become concerned for him. No, this isn't a pride thing, Sam. And yes, he is taking care of himself, Danny.

Technus is the one who gives him the answer. It was just a passing comment about how he needed to funnel through the GIW in order to infect the world. It didn't make sense to any of them because surely that's the last place you would want to do that. But then it dawned on Tucker. That's who has the power needed to do it! That's where he needed to look!

So he hacks into the GIW and is astonished by what he finds.

The anti ecto acts aren't real. There's no laws even acknowledging ghosts.

There's a file on Phantom, marked as 'candidate for X'.

And all he can find on the containment is a name he's seen described as the creator of the GIW and the main supplier of funds.

Amanda Waller.

how does one get into bodybuilding

like as an interest? youtube mostly. you gotta be careful though bc it's easy to end up in the alpha male bullshit dimension if you click on the wrong channel. id recommend sticking with guys like jeff nippard and/or will tennyson until you figure out whether you find the topic consistently interesting. also do NOT go on reddit

fwiw i believe this was the first jeff nippard video i ever watched, absolutely caught my interest bc my gut instinct was to go 'there's no way that's right' but the more i thought about it the more i realized it actually made sense and i had just been wrong about posture and pain before

Sornieth Pride: Day 8, Trans Man

A very important fellow has finally been drawn! Wilbur is a ridgeback who was adopted by his family of sandsurges after being found all alone in the shifting expanse. For a long time, Wilbur felt different. He knew no other ridgebacks and always felt distant from his family in a way he couldn't understand. After an accident caused him to lose his wings, he was taken to the facility underneath the shifting expanse. There he met a tundra named Verglas, who was soon to become his best friend. Together, they both discovered themselves, something that allowed Wilbur to finally feel as though he belonged alongside his community. Now, he's a messenger for various beastclans, traveling where some of them cannot.

although now i am stuck thinking about hrt for dragons. Wilbur is probably way too big to be handling milliliters or fragile needles! I don't think gel or a needle could necessarily go through his scales either... I suppose i could just say magic, but oh well. here's Wilbur waiting for his buddy Orville to finish warming his shot lol

Okay so! I'll put this under a cut but this is where I write Reader from.

MtB!Reader is in Gravity Falls by choice. It was an active decision to move away from their home city (I don't have a specific one in mind bc I'm in the UK, so this means literally any city lol) because of ongoing stress. Both with work and with family.

They sold all the shit that they owned, put the few things they couldn't bear to leave behind in their van, and just started driving. No plan, no intention, just head empty and escape.

For a while, they slept in the back of their van. When it became clear that it was unsafe to do so (and bad for their poor back), they realised they'd need to find somewhere to live for a little while. The idea had been just for them to stop over somewhere for a bit, just a short stay to work and save up cash. So, they woke up one morning and swore that the next town they drove into would be the one they stayed in to make that happen.

That town happened to be Gravity Falls.

With the last bit of cash they had, they bought the local paper and that's where they saw the ad for the diner. They took it. To begin with, they'd planned to live out of their van and work until they could rent somewhere, but Susan had refused and told them she knew a guy with a spare cabin he never used (his name is Ron; nice fella!). They managed to bag it, even without a down payment, and they moved in.

Reader was fairly (horribly) depressed at the time they took the waitstaff position and they didn't want to work in that line, but they knew they had no choice. So, they started but they quickly got bored. Susan is lovely but the service industry sucks and it got old fast. They were thinking of moving on again, even though it had only been a few weeks. They didn't have much going for them and they'd no intention of sticking around for long. No friends, no family, no real reason to put down roots.

However, as we know in Spores, they ran into Dipper and Mabel and the rest is history!

The job gave them purpose and helped them develop bonds/come out of their shell. Reader became friendly with the kids, of course, and fell in love with them, however they also found a bit of a kindred spirit in Stan. Not in so much of a parental way, but just in the form of another adult who actually saw them as a person. They became buddies.

Reader didn't actually meet Ford properly until the Crossbow Incident occurred about 2 weeks into their employment. They were struck by him (in more than one way) right from the moment they met him. As it's written in Spores, it took a long time for them to get to know him but they thought he was cute and more importantly, they thought he was interesting. They saw him interact with the kids or work on his own stuff, and they liked it. They learned more about him from Stan and it piqued their interest further. They thought he seemed sweet. ALSO, before they really made friends with Ford, they made a science joke in his presence and he laughed (even though he pretended it was just a sneeze). Reader still considers that to be their top achievement since starting to work for the family.

When Reader slowly started seeing more of Ford, they made a concerted effort to accommodate him. I write Ford as being autistic/BPD, so Reader made a special effort to give him allowances in conversation or in interactions. They didn't push him if he seemed in a bad head space, they didn't make him feel bad or out of place if he couldn't function on a particular day. They were just very thoughtful about things he might need. They still are.

So yeah. They do have a backstory in this very loose sense. I plan on writing it in more detail as we go on so you'll see more of it over time :)

thinking about ocular immune privilege and Jonah Magnus

(basically the eyes contain foreign tissue and stuff that the immune system would usually target, so the eyes are given immune privelage— except with a few diseases where the immune system attacks the body’s own eyes)

Jane Austen was so insane for writing Emma I’m losing my mind

Like you have the mean bossy femme lesbian in her late 20’s, living off her trust fund and becoming hyper-obsessed with a local pretty peasant girl Jennifer’s Body style. People call her perfect, and she knows they’re right

(They’re wrong. Her childhood best friend - her metaphoric conscious - reminds her every day.)

She’s the protagonist of this book but the antagonist of every other: she’s Caroline Bingley, Blanche Ingram, Cordelia Chase, Regina George, Heather Chandler. She’s the queen of this school, and popularity is a hell of a drug.

(Popularity is the only power she has. There’s something itching at the back of her brain: She doesn’t want to be this. She doesn’t want to do this. Why is she trying to impress all these mean people.)

She can do no wrong. She mocks the annoying weird girl and everybody laughs and the weird girl finally shuts up.

(He’s frowning at her in the background. She��s frowning at herself. She’s angry at both of them)

People think she’s charming and beautiful and so kind.

(They’re wrong.)

She keeps everybody at arm’s length, staying mean and fiercely independent.

(They can’t see her loneliness. Her failures. The way she watches her pretty new friend laughing joyfully and beautifully in the sun, and it just makes her feel sad.)

She plays Cupid because she sees people as her play things - love is just a game for her.

(She plays Cupid because she knows that everybody will leave her in the end, anyways. This just allows her to control it.)

Jane Austen famously called Emma “a heroine whom no one but myself will much like.”

(I like her too)
