#THIS SHIT WAS CONSTANT

[poisoned-pearls]

Yall back at my summer job and I forgot the hell that was listening to the radio the whole damn day

[batboopp]

batman has gotta be one of my favorite heroes only because he’ll go through the most borderline traumatic series of events possible where he may or may not have proved an afterlife existed just to drive away in his stupid fucking batcar with his stupid fucking bat ears peeking out

Wonder what it's like to feel grass under your feet for the first time in your life. Wonder how it feels knowing you'll be the one to destroy it.

The Silent Game

MC gets sick of the brothers' constant bullshit and demands that they play the silent game

They challenge the brothers to see who can last the longest without speaking

The rules: speaking, no burping, passing gas, scraping chairs or any other furniture, chewing too loud, breathing too loud, clapping, punching/slapping/any other form of hitting that causes noise, grunting, etc

Coughing or sneezing is fine, as long as it's involuntary

Texting is only acceptable in situations where they would already use text or if they have to talk to Diavolo or Barbatos

Satan and Belphie immediately tries to piss Lucifer off enough to break and scold him but it doesn't work

Beel doesn't even have to put effort into it except to keep his chewing noises to a minimum

And he can't go on a rampage when Mammon takes advantage of the situation to steal his yogurt

Belphie would have just slept through the challenge but MC said sleep talking or communication through dream walking is also forbidden

Lucifer is pissed off when Diavolo talks to him and he has to text him in response

Diavolo finds the situation delightful and bugs Lucifer to try to break him

Barbatos does too but more subtly

*insert brief joke about making Solomon play too*

Asmo is in tears when he realizes he can't speak to his fans or make videos or go on quote unquote dates

Levi just sits in his room the whole time except for meals

No one knows if he's following the challenge or not but they can't hear anything from his room so it's safe to assume he is

The challenge has been going for three days and it's starting to creep MC out

They've never had a round of the silent game go on this long

It's eerily silent and they almost want to call off the challenge

But it's so nice to not have to worry about anyone slamming doors and screaming at each other

So they let it go on

Mammon steals Lucifer's credit card and gets strung up

To his credit he doesn't yell for help

Belphie is the first to break 5 days in

He's half asleep when he demands MC cuddle him, forgetting that he's not supposed to speak

He acts like he doesn't care but he wishes he wasn't the first to break

He takes advantage of the fact that because he lost, he can be as loud as he wants

MC is so done immediately

Asmo and Levi are next, 2 days later, a1 week in

He had a livestream scheduled with someone cool and awesome and he just can't miss it

It makes him cry to lose but he gets over it pretty quick

It means he can whisper sweet nothings to MC while the others watch in jealousy

Levi tells him to fuck off and stops, realizing his mistake too late

Beel is next 2 days later

Mammon took too many of his desserts and absolutely lost it

He was ashamed afterwards but he lost

That leaves Mammon, Satan, and Lucifer

Another whole week goes by without anyone dropping out

Surprisingly it's Satan next

He's bugging Lucifer again as he has been for the last 2 & 1/2 weeks with no result

He drops a chair on Lucifer in the hopes that he'll noisily crack it in half

But Lucifer sidesteps and the chair smacks the floor

Satan loses

Now it's only the oldest two left and the rest have started taking bets

Barbatos already knows who's going to win so they make him monitor the bets so no one cheats

No one expected Mammon to last this long because he's normally so obnoxiously loud (I love him anyway hush)

Then one day

Three weeks into the challenge

Lucifer walks up behind Mammon to tell him something

Mammon didn't know he was there

And squawked

Lucifer didn't even intend to startle him

It was a complete accident

Everyone is disappointed with the anticlimactic ending

But hey! MC got a few weeks of relatively less chaos

And for a while afterwards the brothers automatically stay silent when they walk into a room with MC before remembering that the game is over

we already have the percy whose scalp is always somewhat damp because he wants to feel the moisture on his skin. the percy who takes bubble baths twice a week soley so he can nap underwater when he's away from the beach. the percy who once drank four gallons of water in two hours and felt like he was king of the world for a week straight. but give me the percy who gets overstimulated from being in the water too much. the percy who spent his three-day weekend putting a stop to a war between the fish of the pacific and atlantic ocean. the percy who returned home with his hair dry as a bone. the percy who locked himself in his room and refused to touch water unless he was nearly dying of thirst. the percy who damn-near asked his father to disown him for a few days because being directly linked to water made him want to cry.

[nocofamilyau]

A fortunate ending???

HAHA SUCKED IN

APRIL FOOLS!!! don't worry tho, the real final part to this arc will come about in the next few days, this just felt right at this moment.

so I've started reading Journey to the West, and I more or less knew what to expect from Sun Wukong going in, no surprises there. Tripitaka, on the other hand, completely knocked my feet out from under me... I am enchanted

john and arthur getting separate bodies and the only thing john can focus on is arthur. finally being able to see him after all of this time, finally being able to just. take him in, watch to john's heart's content. memorizing the different expressions, the different reactions of this part of him that john has never been able to see before.

to anyone else, it would be obvious how enamored john was with the man in front of him. he could barely look away, not wanting to miss a single moment -- sometimes getting distracted in the middle of describing a new place for arthur and trailing off for a moment before continuing.

but arthur has no idea how much time john just spends staring at him.

Fyi, the idea of insinuating whether or not Pedro is queer isn’t really the problem, because yeah that can be a possibility and nobody should be having a problem with that cause it’s his life and if you do have an issue you’re just ignorant & need to check your internalized prejudice. The issue is that his sexuality, regardless of who he loves, is literally nobody’s business. Like people just constantly flip flop to whether or not he’s straight or gay based on who he’s next to, and that’s strange?? And it’s crazy that he has to be one or the other but he can’t just be bi or pan or anything else I mean cmon. Like remember when people were legit saying him and Lux were anything but siblings when they were seen together? Before it was Omar Apollo, like two weeks ago it was Jennifer Aniston, and now it’s Russell Tovey after those pictures from Pedro’s birthday.

Constantly picking apart his love/dating life when it makes him visibly uncomfortable and tense is a disservice to his work as an actor & also makes shit weird with his co-workers, friends, and family. And when you account the fact that he’s a man of color who’s constantly being sexualized regardless of what he does, it adds another dehumanizing factor to everything cause that’s the first thing people think/talk about when it comes to him. The point is, literally just stop talking about it, and yes that also includes queer people on twitter constantly calling him gay for viral content and straight people in the comments, white women especially, debunking that to feed their own delusions. Just leave him and the topic alone, and don’t just talk about this when it’s your fav involved as if this doesn’t impact literally everyone.

lucanis mentions in one of his romance scenes that to him, rook's voice is a comfort. Spite has a tendency to label people based on their scents. what if that is like? the most comforting sense to spite? smell. imagine him collecting lots of things that smell like rook. spite taking over lucanis' body just to shove their face into one of harding's lavender plants because it reminds them of rook. a rook from rivain who smells of spices and salt and spite, after learning that getting those things in their eyes is not a good time, making a little sachet to bring to their nose instead. perking up in stalls and instinctively looking for rook when they catch hints of chocolate, because it's rook's favorite and smells like them.

lucanis, through spite, getting a newfound appreciation for scented candles. who has to tell spite that no, they cannot take rook's clothes from the laundry. no, even if they would smell good.

> covid shares significant parallels with HIV, (depletes immune system, but while HIV targets t cells, covid can target most cells in the human body and while hiv targets nuclei, covid targets mitochondria) but with the additional trait of being airborne

> can affect virtually every system/organ of the body, including heart/lungs and brain (even with a mild case) and is also cancer causing/accelerant

> has a viral persistance (how long it remains in the body) of at least a year throughout the body, including the brain, even after death .

> multiple infections may happen yearly since there are little to no precautions, meaning not enough time or treatment is given to clear viral load. also means that it is being allowed to consistently evolve.

> disability rates in the US have jumped by 40% since 2020

> can literally cause a new form of AIDS

> virtually all precautions have been dropped since 2022, peak infection rates (according to wastewater data) were in jan 2022

> risk of long covid/damage from covid compounds with each infection

> over half of all covid infections are asymptomatic, most people will not know how many infections they've had because cheap/free consistent testing is not widely available

> treatment often expensive/doctors do not take long covid seriously and/or are uneducation on it and its treatment, meaning most will go without treatment that acknowledges the root cause

> if left untreated, HIV will nearly always progress to AIDS , and chronic HIV usually progresses to AIDS in 5-10 years (may be faster in some people)

it's been 5 years since it's onset in late 2019/early 2020, and 3 years since 2022. it's becoming more and more apparent that more and more people are unwell and i am genuinely terrified at what the very near future will look like, especially when the overwhelming culture is still so resistent to acknowledging covid.

shi qingxuan was genuinely very popular before his descendent, but over half of the heavenly officials he was 'friends' with were actually he xuan's 50+ clones. most of the time he xuan wasn't even intentionally trying to make friends with him, shi qingxuan's extrovert beam is just that deadly.

he xuan: heh, i conned my way into becoming my enemy's idiot brother's best friend

shi qingxuan befriends another he xuan clone

he xuan: okay... doesn't hurt to have a second pair of eyes on the target

shi qingxuan befriends another he xuan clone

he xuan: well, it would be more suspect if I just ignored him

shi qingxuan befriends another he xuan clone

he xuan: ...you know what, why the hell not. BUT THIS IS THE LAST TIME-

shi qingxuan befriends another he xuan clone

he xuan: ARGHHH STOP IT, YOU EXTROVERTED WEIRDO, WHO THE FUCK NEEDS THIS MANY FRIENDS

shi qingxuan befrien-

he xuan, as ming yi: qingxuan, stop making friends so casually. didn't you say you were my best friend? stop hanging out with random people

shi qingxuan: ...omg ming-xiong, are you jealous??? don't worry, you're still my bestest friend in all of the three realms. there's no need to jealous! let's go out for a drink in our female forms :D

he xuan, as ming yi: ...fine, but i get to pick the restaurant this time

[sombradusk]
