i hate seeing people now making fun of those who care about privacy online. i've seen people saying things like "well they already have your data. what are companies going to do with it" and it's like, that's not the point. it's that companies /shouldn't/ be able to have my data and sell it. am i aware they probably already have my data? yes, absolutely. but i'm still going to try and keep them from monetizing it any further, why are we defending companies selling data they shouldn't have to begin with though?

Bro, we are cooked. The knight that dogs the prince's shadow like a dark and silent wraith just knelt to press his forehead to the prince's hand. Yeah, now he's uttering a prayer whose recipient is ostensibly God but in reality is the deified version of the prince that exists only in his mind. Aaand the prince just caressed his cheek to preemptively grant him absolution. I gotta... I gotta get out of here.

in honour of the deltarune news im once again remembering my funniest memory of it which was opening the game unspoiled, entering my name as "chris" and then being absolutely fucking bewildered when the game told me I couldn't make my own choices and would instead have to be called. kris

too many stories about turning yourself into a monster as a metaphor for pretending to be something you aren't and losing yourself in the process. not enough stories about turning yourself into a monster as a metaphor for choosing to openly embrace yourself even if it's strange to other people

Hijack Killer AU idea

This idea was inspired by the show Based on a True Story. But Just like my Guardian Angels and Demons series, the source of the inspiration has mostly nothing to do with the actual plot of the fic.

Hiccup is an amateur true crime enthusiast who is investigating a local serial killer. Eventually, the killer takes notice of him and starts communicating with him specifically, taunting him and leaving clues behind.

All signs start to point toward the cute local kids birthday performer, Jack Frost, and Hiccup begins stalking the man.

One day, as Hiccup's doing his usual casing, Jack disappears from view, only to show up a second later behind Hiccup, shoving a gag in his mouth and dragging him into a van. Hiccup wasn't stalking Jack, Jack was following Hiccup.

Hiccup is taken to an empty building, where he's tied to a chair. Jack apologizes for the physicality of the whole ordeal, but assures Hiccup it was necessary. He explains that he's not the killer, in fact, he knows who the killer is and has been trying to incriminate him for months. It was his involvement that led Hiccup to believe the killer was Jack.

Hiccup doesn't believe him of course, he's just been kidnapped, but Jack insists it was the only way. Hiccup never would have listened to him if he tried to spark a conversation out in the world, and Hiccup has no idea just how dangerous the man he's looking for is.

Hiccup decides to humour Jack, and listens to his story.

Jack had been working for a man (Pitch or Viggo. Viggo works well for the battle of the wits nemesis trope, but Pitch works well for the serial killer with connections to Jack) as a live-in nanny for his son Jamie, when Jack stumbled upon the killer's extracurricular activities. He panicked and kidnapped Jamie--Hiccup is starting to see a pattern--tricking the kid into thinking they are on vacation.

Jack realized that he couldn't go to the police at this point, after kidnapping a child--after all, who would they believe, the upstanding, high ranking business man, or the kidnapper?-- Jamie would just be sent right back into the man's care and Jack would go to jail. He had to find a way to take the killer down. That's where Hiccup had come in.

While keeping tabs on the killer, Jack had discovered Hiccup. The killer saw Hiccup as a worthy opponent, so Jack did too.

Hiccup finally believes Jack at this point, but demands to meet Jamie as proof. So Jack introduces the two, introducing Hiccup as his boyfriend (for cover, of course).

The two have to work together to care for a child, while on the run from the police, pretending to be boyfriends, and collect substantial proof of the serial killer's identity.

I will not be writing this, but I wanted to share the idea. Feel free to write this or something similar if you feel inspired. And please go check out my latest story Balance is Joy, there are only a few more chapters to go before the story is finished.

you dont have to be a parent to understand the horror of walking into a room to discover that the baby crawled out of his crib and onto that pottery wheel you forgot to turn off, and while the baby is spinning around and around, the dog is sitting there all calm, like a person, gently using his paws to fashion the babys soft cartilage head into something a little more modern.  it might be the classic tale of bad parenting, but lets see where the dog is going with this
