You see a red apple you don’t actually see “redness” or “apple-ness. What happens is: light hits the apple, affects your eyes, changes your body and your mind forms an idea of that change.

So, your thought of the apple is not something "from you." It’s the idea of what happened to your body.

BETHANY STORRO

BETHANY STORRO

30 August 2010

            BethanyStorro, 28, was leaving a Starbucks in Vancouver, Washington, US, when an African American female approached her. Storro said the stranger said, fHey, pretty girl, do you want to drink this?’ when Storro said no, the woman threw the contents of the cup onto Storro’s face.

            At a press conference Storro said that it was ‘the most painful thing ever’, her head was bandaged. ‘It ripped through my clothing the instant it touched my shirt; I could feel it burning through my second layer of skin.’

            It wasn’t coffee in the cup, it was acid. Storro had severe burns to her face which the authorities believed was sulphuric or hydrochloric acid. She avoided permanent damage to her eyesight because she was wearing sunglasses at the time. Storro said about her attacker, ‘I have never, ever seen this girl in my entire life. When I first saw her, she had this weirdness about her – like jealousy, rage.’

            Public donations of money poured to Storro and she went on a shopping spree. She was invited to appear on the Oprah show until the truth was revealed.

Police investigated the crime but found numerous inconsistencies in her story that wasn’t adding up. Storro later admitted that she had made the entire story up, and her injuries were self-inflicted. She had wiped drain cleaner onto her face.

            During her trial, Storro pled not guilty to theft charges. Many believe that Storro made up the story to gain attention and so people would feel sorry for her. She also gained a lot of money from the story, $20,000 all up. She paid $620 for a chemical facial peel with the donated money for her recovery. She also went on a shopping spree, bought clothes, travel expenses, a new computer, and restaurant expenses.

Storro said she did it because she wanted to commit suicide. This didn’t add up, because if she wanted to commit suicide, she would have drunk it, not smudged it on her face.

            Storro was sentenced to a mental health treatment after pleading guilty to making a false statement to a public official. Theft charges were dropped, and her father said that they will return all the money. Her racist claim that a black woman attacked her, also didn’t do her any favours. She later apologized to the African American community. Storro was charged to pay at least $4,000 of police overtime.

            Her memoir Facing The Truth was released in 2013. She writes about how she suffers from mental health.

TWO-TIER CHURCH LEADERS

With the importation of untold numbers of unassimilated immigrants, the European elites appear to be engaged in continental cultural suicide. It is frightening that the Christian church, which created Europe as it was until recently, is eager to play its part in the euthanasia of a once rich culture. Express concern about immigration and Archbishop Welby will label you ‘far right’ and…

There's probably discrimination between fresh and saltwater merfolk, maybe between different depths of the sea too

I can imagine there's a rule of

If you blink and see a merfolk swimming towards you looking for a bite, that's a seafolk.

If you blink and you see a mer that wasn't there before, that's a freshwater folk.

If you blink and wake up in heaven, it was a swampfolk

Just got another idea so I’ll repost Simon and Mike later…for now take some post-Prentiss scar refs I made

The victim is... the same as yesterday?

Since Danny managed to master the power of duplication he noticed a couple of things: duplicates didn't always disappear when he wanted them to, it was possible to make many at once and he could change shapes when he used it. The duplicates also disappeared in ecto when destroyed.

So, when the halfa moved to a new location he decided it made the most sense to release "Human Danny's" over Gotham and stay as Phantom to look at his new home from the sky. He needed to investigate his new surroundings and probably find a better place to live.

This made the bats desperate, they had multiple alerts of "Multiple black-haired, blue-eyed boys wandering into dangerous territories" and "A meta flying around Gotham", Bruce doubted it was a coincidence, maybe the meta was a new villain.

In some cases they couldn't get there in time and the blue-eyed boy died mysteriously, since they didn't communicate with each other, they didn't know it was the same victim over and over again. Danny wasn't surprised when he felt one of his duplicates return to him. Of course, the halfa had no idea he was giving Red Robin traumas about a boy "vanishing on acid".

The batfamily, who remained without communication, thought that some villain was chasing down black-haired, blue-eyed people and killing them. Jason was the first to realize that it was the same boy and he frowned not understanding the situation. He found the meta and he was almost harmless, which didn't have sense.

also it is wildly funny to me that Sal Maroni has apparently been such a simp for Nadia that he's replaced most of his italian mob with persians. unironically the most based male mobster in HBO penguin

it should be illegal to have multiple gut problems at once. if you get two they should just cancel each other out and leave you cured. 100 million$ cash reward for every additional tummy hurt disease on top of those 2 that cancelled eachother out.

WE NEED TO KILL HIM. IMMEDIATELY.

My final Scarlet drawing!

I intended it as the final Scarlet Shido drawing but in all honesty it works as well if not better as just a normal Scarlet drawing(getting Shidos final form across was difficult to do because of its relatively simple(though imo effective)design)

though even then I’ll still have a quote with it based on lines Shido says in his boss fight(which the last two had as well)

“No…nononononoNO! A filthy delta residing brat should not have gotten in my way this much! To think this could happen…If only I had finished you off instead for daring to stand against me, hahaha, it seems I was almost as naive as you!…but, my desires has still yet to be satisfied! I WILL NOT let mere children make me lose all which I have gained! This time, I shall bring your thrilling end by my own hands! this time, I SHALL REDUCE YOU TO NOTHING!”

a part I struggled with was probably the wings, and admittedly the paw could look better, but I still really like overall how it came out(probably not visible but alongside her acid scar Scarlet also has some claw scratches on her face)

fun fact, I intended to post this yesterday due to a Mutual having July 4th as Scarlets headcanon hatching day(alongside Scarlets change of heart) but I had to go to a 4th of July party instead so I’m posting those both a day late(the change of heart will be made later today)

I think next I’ll either make Au Kestrels profile or take a small break and think up something(suggestions are welcomed)

or write the first chapter of the au-

have any of y'all ever experienced a type of food poisoning where your stomach won't even tolerate water so you're forced to dehydrate yourself until it hopefully passes, or is this a brand new kind of problem my body has come up with just for the occasion

Carl on this floor: It isn't a war crime if you're the first one to do it!

[mcsmtxt]

fun things to muse on is how mcsm characters would handle certain things that aren’t IN the mcsm world. like what kind of driver are they. or what’s their favorite alcoholic beverage. would they or would they not be a gamer. etc etc
