#Garbage Collector

A street cleaner with a very odd garbage collection container, 1944. The city certainly had had bigger, more modern vehicles than this for years. All I can think of is that it was a wartime measure to save fuel and rubber.

Once, you were a person of elegance

Once, you were a person of elegance, your identity etched in the soft curves of sophistication and the gentle touch of nobility. However, in my dominion, your defiance was a stain that needed cleansing. As your master, the decision fell upon me to rewrite the narrative of your existence, to sculpt you into a form that beheld lessons of humility and submission.

The sun cast a final warm glow before dipping below the horizon, signifying the onset of your transformation. Your desperation was palpable as you struggled against the unseen forces that bound you to this fate, but your cries for mercy found no refuge. The chill of the night mirrored the cold inevitability that dawned upon you.

As I approached, the unseen power I wielded began its work, reshaping your reality with every step I took. The first to change were your clothes. The silk and soft fabrics shredded away, replaced by the rough, worn garments of a binman. I saw your eyes widen with each tear of fabric, a silent plea for mercy that went unanswered.

Then came the metamorphosis of your flesh. Muscle coiled around your limbs, hardening and expanding with a life of its own.

jaskier really created a whole mythos surrounding geralt of rivia, white wolf, hero of the people, for the continent to adore and get invested in and then fucking wrote and performed her sweet kiss with the lines "I am weak my love and I am wanting. if this is the path I must trudge, I'll welcome my sentence, give to you my penance, garroter, jury, and judge" and then had to like. live with the fact that he admitted he's in love with the subject of his songs. every tavern he plays at the whole crowd is just side-eyeing geralt in the back like. um. hello. and he grunts and stomps up to their room. and then burn butcher burn comes out and the whole continent is like whoooaaa shit there's drama!!! jaskier is literally out here taylor swift narrating his whole relationship and geralt just has to trudge into town like. does anyone need a swamp monster killed? and the mayor or w/e goes hey aren't you the guy from the song, you really pissed that bard off what did you do leave him at the aisle or something. and geralt just has to be like. nope, must be a different witcher he's talking about. anyway swamp monster?

the law should be that if you don't respect the person doing the job, you aren't allowed to use the service they're providing

random question but does the Nootmare pay taxes?

Sale taxes, yes. But he is not reporting his income and his property is hidden from the Multiverse IRS. So, for the most part, no, he does not pay taxes, he opposes taxes, and will gladly toss tea in any bay to prove his antitaxes point. In the end, he will eventually be brought down by the Multiverse IRS for tax dodging.

Sorry for the spoiler for the end of HNBD, which does not actually stand for How Nightmare Became Dadmare but How Nightmare Began Dodging (taxes).

A suave and successful businessman, finds himself targeted by his cunning rival, Victor Sterling.

Just saw the music video for Thot Shit for the first time and, like, holy shit. that's a whole ass twilight zone episode dissecting the hypersexualization of working class black women. First music video I've ever seen where I straight up do not feel qualified to comment on the nuances of everything that's going on here. There's race, there's class, there's gender, there's all sorts of shit going on. There's power, there's racialization and white fear of black people just living their lives. There's the hypocrisy of objectifying black women while criticizing them for being sexy. There's the focus on a white dude when the black women are doing all the work. There's one(1) shot of a white women in a frumpy suit utterly failing to keep up with all the black women's moves. And then the guy's face gets transmogrified into a pussy at the end? That's the one bit I actually just don't understand. There's, like LAYERS to everything going on here. And wow, I found an interview where she talks about what inspired it and she's so humble downplaying it, like "oh haha I just liked the way it sounded when I came up with it in the shower"

you gotta click through to watch it on youtube, because it is, like, the most twerking asses I have ever seen in a single video, and also there's a genuinely unsettling cronenberg bit at the end, so it's age restricted.
