So I had the unfortunate privilege of having thoughts

And my thoughts have connected some things

Spoilers for Persona 5, TW for suicide

Please be careful

You know how Mental Shutdowns and Psychotic breakdowns both had the same effect with the eyes rolling back and black tears?

You know how when Okumura has a mental shutdown Futaba said that it was the same with her mom?

And how Akechi was first doing Psychotic Breakdowns for Shido?

And how Wakaba most likely worked with Shido and possibly Akechi on cognitive psience and maybe knew about what Akechi was doing for Shido?

So what if instead of Wakaba suffering a mental shutdown, she instead felt an incoming psychotic breakdown and threw herself in front on a car so she wouldn’t hurt Futaba?

Honestly I love how all the season 2 emperors aren’t even emperors, the closest they get is the 2 princesses. But I have to talk about The Sheriff and Tumble Town.

Tumble Town is a theocracy.

Now listen. The Law book is located in a church. Half the time when character talk about the Law (separate from the Sheriff) they kinda sing it, go an octave up, and physically look up, like they’re talking about a god, maybe?

And in theocracies there is no distinction between civil and religious laws. The book of Law is the only law in Tumble Town. And we’ve already established it’s located in a church.

So the Sheriff is a Theocratic leader and got the hat as a gift from god and he’s gonna fight Joel as the primary god of the server for the Law in this essay I will-

I just wanna say that I called it.

I haven’t seen anyone talk about that if the theory that Empires and Hermitcraft is intersecting through the portal (and it will affect Empires lore) then Sausage is going into a land with a woman that looks exactly like his goddess, Saint Pearl, who is currently in a resistance fighting a corrupt king.

The potential for this PLEASE let it be real

"Do you believe in the gods, Pix?"

The archeologist chuckles, and continues adjusting measurements on his hologram projector. "You trying to convert me, Joel?"

The god of Stratos waves his hand dismissively, and though Pix isn't looking at his face, he can almost feel an the eye roll as clouds briefly wink over the sun. "Obviously you believe in me. If you didn't, we wouldn't be talking right now."

"Ah."

"I mean the old ones. You know." Joel waves a hand vaguely the direction of the ruined capital. "The absent ones."

Pix pauses in his work to turn and look past the bridge. The burnished gold of the tip of one of the angel's wings is all he can see over the hillside gates, but he knows the goddess is there. He memorized every curve and angle of that monument when he'd found it. It was... An impressive statue. He turns back to his projector and keys in a few more measurements, trying to get the height of the road just right.

"I don't know."

"Oh. Well I suppose you wouldn't." Joel shrugs at Pix's questioning glance. "You're human."

There is a moment where they're silent. Pix works keys a few buttons, adjusting the placement of his projection, and Joel watches, arms crossed like a sentinel. He doesn't help Pix. Not really. Joel isn't really that kind of god. He bestows gifts and blessings, but he reserves his hands for his people and his whims. But Pix didn't invite the god here to build. He doesn't mind reconstructing this old capital by himself. Joel does, however, grunt disapprovingly every time Pix places the structure wrong, and flick his eyes a little to the left, and Pix takes the hint and adjusts the hologram in that direction.

"You wanna know what I think?" Pix says, setting the hologram in its final place and taking a few steps back to observe it.

"You think?" The god chuckles, and when he does, distant thunder rumbles.

"I think more than you."

"I'll take that as a compliment."

"I think worshipping the world is the closest we can get to an omniscient god." Pix finishes the thought before they can devolve into ribbing each other. It's fun to bicker with Joel, but that's not where Pix is going with this conversation.

Joel cocks his head to the side thoughtfully. "You don't think I'm omniscient?"

"Would you ask me this stuff if you were, oh all-knowing god of storms and things?"

"Sky god," Joel corrected. "Touché, little history man. So, you worship the world, then?"

"Everything we do leaves a footprint," Pix tells him. He adjusts his hologram just a bit to the left again. Joel nods at him almost unconsciously. Pix stops fiddling and starts playing shulkers, preparing to build. He's going to finish this bridge today. "The earth records these footprints. It's the nature of things that change, that they hold impressions of what changed them."

Pix gestures to the rock slide that cuts off one side of his hologram. "This gate used to carve right through this hill. Even though this side has collapsed, and erosion has eaten the side, beneath that rubble, there are cobblestones someone laid by hand. Maybe they were slaves, or skilled craftsman, but regardless they existed. The lived a full life, whatever that meant for them, they spoke to people they loved, ate their favorite foods when they were sad, and one day, they died. Bones turn to dust, epitaphs fade, but that builder's hands still touched those cobblestones."

The god of Stratos watches the hologram with a new and open curiosity. He reaches out a massive hand and places it gently on the particles of light, as though he could touch the recreation. Instead, his fingers dip through the projection, making long flickering shadows in the light field, distorting the image like rain on a glassy lake. It's almost comical watching the massive god be so gentle and reverent, especially over something so inconsequential as a bridge piece.

"So is this how you worship the world, then?" Joel asks quietly. "By helping it remember what it's forgotten?"

There is something loaded in the words. Pix looks up at the god, and he remembers signs underneath a floating city as citizens gently remind their god they love him, and they need him. He thinks of temples to gods whose names have passed out of history, floating amidst a living city made by a god who has no temple built. Not yet.

Pix doesn't know what to say, so he opts to say nothing, instead reverently laying out his tools on the bridge like precious gifts on an altar. The two don't talk. Pix begins laying stones for a new foundation, and Joel watches thoughtfully, not seeing the world in front of him. They finish the bridge.

The GoodTimesWithScar Session 5 Curse: Afflicted individual will, without fail, lose all but one life by session 5. If the individual hasn’t yet lost their lives by this point, the universe will course correct.

The GoodTimesWithScar Enchantment Curse: The cursed individual gains an obsession for the sole enchantment table, hailing it as their most important possession to the point of insanity.

The GoodTimesWithScar Pet Curse: Any and all animals befriended by the unfortunate cursebearer will meet a horrific fate at the hands of another.

The GoodTimesWithScar and Grian Life Curse: The first afflicted individual will always lose their first life as a result of the second afflicted individual, whether directly or indirectly.

The Red King Curse (self-inflicted): The reds will need a leader, but this one comes with a curse. The king and his servants will fall one by one, doomed to perish at the hands of another.

The Trap Curse (self-inflicted): A preset trap will never work as intended. Certain exceptions may apply as a result of other curses leading a target to their doom.

The Full Moon Curse (self-inflicted): if an individual points out at any point that there’s a full moon, the rest of the session is doomed to be full of bloodshed and death.

The Base Curse (self-inflicted)*: No matter how secure a base is, it will fall in the end. Nothing survives the red life swarm.

*A variation on this curse is the Flammability Curse: Everything that can be burned will be burned.

*Please leave anymore curses in the notes and the list will be updated to include them

TMA AU where jon comes back from america with a really tacky hot topic ring on his ring finger. months later someone finally asks and hes just like. oh, yeah, i married gerard keay in las vegas. he wanted to spit on his eugenics obsessed homophobic mothers grave one more time. dont think its legally binding since he was dead at the time, but i changed keay to sims in all his database cross-references in honor of his decision. trevor herbert and julia mauntauk were our witnesses - oh, they’re avatars of the hunt now, by the way. very close father-daughter relationship, it was really sweet to see once they stopped holding us hostage. trevor gave a really nice best man speech, i was touched. julia let me wear her leather jacket for the ceremony so gerry and i could match. one of the anatomy students was there, and later i got a congratulations card from nikola orsinov,,, actually, i have the wedding party on tape, as well as the screaming phone call i got from elias ten minutes later do you want to listen to it

[lee-theghost]

✨💖Don’t you just love that Techno’s character in the SMP feels like his own brothers used him to betray his most basic tenet, and is grieving the loss of both his brothers in one way or another alone. He fears he has lost Tommy to corruption and mourns Wilbur’s death via their own father💖✨

And that the only thing he felt as he spawned the withers and caused most of the canon deaths was abandonedment, betrayal, and grief ☺️✨

Angry Steven Essay 1 - Ignoring Your Kids and the Consequences

A lot of people have been wondering why Steven is so angry, and where their sweet baby boy has gone, and I think people are struggling because they don’t understand how little they respected Steven before.

Because I don’t think that Steven has undergone a huge character shift. Admittedly, he’s angry more frequently now, but I don’t think his anger is bigger or more intense or any worse than it’s been at other points in the series. Steven’s feelings haven’t gotten bigger…

But Steven has.

I counted up all the times Steven gets angry in the series, being fairly charitable and not counting more minor moments of annoyance of frustration. I’ve got about 21 moments out of 160 episodes for the original series. Granted, that’s only once every seven episodes, but it’s not insignificant. The idea that Steven never gets angry is factually wrong. 

We see his temper the first time in Steven the Swordfighter, and it’s not a very wholesome look at the boy. He’s frustrated because Pearl is gone and Holo-Pearl isn’t a good replacement. And, already, I bet you’re starting to tune out a little. Because Steven’s being a stupid little kid, isn’t he? Pearl’s coming back. He’s just throwing a tantrum.

Tantrum is the word we give to anger and sadness we don’t respect. It’s a word we use to belittle and ignore children, even when their feelings are justified.
