Heyy

So it's the blue moon on the 31rst of august (where I am at least)

And I was wondering if there were any rituals or stuff one could do? I'd really like to do some since it only happens every 2 1/2 years.

Also do I have to like get up at 2-3 in the morning to do it? It's a bit late and I don't think I can sneak outside soundlessly.

So yeah, remember to drink water, eat plenty, sleep restfully and relax!

Thank uuu!

Well, the good news is that the next blue moon we'll see is August 2024, so that's not so long to wait!

I did a post about the August full moons with some suggestions for stuff to do. You can find it here. Thankfully, none of it involves staying up all night. It's really enough to just do something on the same night, you don't need to wait for the actual astronomical moment the full moon peaks.

I'm doing pretty good with hydrating this week, but I gotta do better at sleep lol. Hope this helps! 😁

is there a sound that drives them crazy? ( like the sound of nails on a chalkboard, styrofoam rubbing together, cardboard boxes, etc?)

-;┊ 𓆙 𝕺𝕺𝕮 ; ◥ 𓆙      —       𝐌𝐈𝐒𝐂. 𝐒𝐌𝐀𝐋𝐋 𝐃𝐄𝐓𝐀𝐈𝐋𝐒 --- Accepting!

Most of this is actually derived from Ada's Report with sprinkles of creative liberty. I highly suggest giving it a read, as most of these concepts carried over to the remake timeline.

So, none of these examples included in the prompt, but Las Plagas, biologically, is highly sensitive to sound ( as well as mutated T-Virus hosts such as Lickers, as they can communicate with Plaga hosts to an extent! ). They can perceive acoustics & sonic waves that are incomprehensible to humans, & be controlled in this manner, but it is not described HOW they are controlled. Artificially spreading these sonic waves is noted to be similar as using a dog whistle, & this is why I refer to Los Iluminados members being 'enslaved'. The Salazar's intent were not on training them, but to eradicate them.

Las Plagas hosts are OBVIOUSLY more intelligent than the average dog, they cannot be 'trained' to blindly obey orders by humans, otherwise we wouldn't have the problem of them infecting / killing outsiders. They value the call of their own kind ( or similar ) rather than that of a chime or bell, these frequencies are in a 'hierarchy', if you will. What I imagine happened in the 1600's / 1700's is that The Salazar's discovered a high frequency that was insufferably painful for them to endure, hence their banishment off the main-land & retreat underground. ( But even then, it wasn't 100% fool-proof as outside infections persisted! ) This continued for centuries until they eventually became desensitized to the high frequency & / or it was stopped by Catalina's betrayal ( as it's noted they received a signal to invade from beyond the island ). Thus, they brought war to the fortress & put the castle under siege, & Osmund finally assassinated Diego. The knowledge of this art was then subsequently destroyed, it's last user being Ramon.

The remake emphasizes that specific frequencies can influence host behavior, even as far as inducing sleep incantations / hibernation, suspended animation, encouraging bloodlust or 'birthing' parasites from their core, destroying their bodies in the process. It is very likely frequencies exist that could 'burst' this sensitive organ, killing the parasite & host in the process, but it hasn't been found yet. It has been long established there is a certain 'trick' in mastering these frequencies, so there is no guarantee blanket experimentation will be WHOLLY successful. As noted by the video, it's beyond simple chimes or whistles, the parasite plays a part as well. For example, if you attack the villagers that retreat upon ringing the church bell, they will attack you in turn, it is not the same blind obedience / possession that Lord Saddler or The Commanders are capable of.

This trait DOES carry over to Osmund, but as these sound waves are impossible for humans to hear, it is very rare for humans to replicate unless they study samples of Las Plagas for a very long time. &, even then, Umbrella Corps & the remake timeline has established the parasite can mutate or become desensitized to prior weaknesses, so it is not a permanent solution. But, in the case of hypotheticals, if someone were to be aware of these frequencies, they would have an immense level of power over Osmund causing him pain, which would infuriate him. Caution would be advised they know how to properly distribute these frequencies, for one wrong move would end up with their throat being torn out. It regresses him into a state of pure animalistic savagery that can only be mitigated by putting him to sleep.

" can i help you with a case sometime?"

"What's your qualifications, kiddo? How long did you spend on the force? How many body photos have you taken? Ever gotten used to having to tell someone's mom that their precious baby's not coming home? Not gonna fucking lose your lunch"

Hello Matt, I just have one simple question for you. What do you consider your favorite adventure and event that you’ve experienced on so far? -BL

Ohhh that's a GOOD one!

Hm.

Let's see...

Well, out of the ones I can remember, I'd have to say when we got abducted!!

Yes, we were brutally betrayed, but I helped save them with my face and I think I deserve all the accolades for that.

my brother i found your imaginos art while searching tumblr for imaginos-related stuff (i just got into this album) and i think we had the same idea with the böc symbol on the LEFT EYE SPECIFICALLY (though i imagined it more as a birthmark)

and on TOP of that literally on the way home today i was like “i wonder if the blue öyster cult mentioned looks like the people on the FOUO album cover”

does the böc fandom have some sort of hive mind going that i’ve just joined????? 🦍🦍🦍

YES. JOIN US

honestly i just feel like it’s so easy to concept design with this band/lore like the aesthetics are just so present and they really go out of their way to like provide symbolism and motifs (the logo itself especially). i feel like artists especially who are heavily into concept designing böc stuff (okay i say “artists” but i really only know like me n one other person) easily pick up on the symbolism and tastes they provide yknow

but that’s SO SO COOL u had the same idea as me!!! u are so galaxy brained honestly i love the idea of the böc symbol being somewhere on imaginos’s physical body whether as a birthmark or a scar or whatever else. also u shoulddddd talk to me about böc anon. holds u

zhongli watches your reaction closely, at first.

when he deduces that you were self-aware of your own oversight and are evidently panicking about it, he gives you a warm chuckle and shakes his head gently, “there is no need to apologize, and please do not feel mortified in any way. it really is fine.”

if you continue to not believe him, the ex-archon will be as patient as ever with his words of reassurances, and he does not mind repeating them until you feel comfortable enough to ask him the real errand that you wished to bestow upon him.

... but not before he gently places a hand to the small of your back to lead you to walk a little closer to him due to the increasing crowd on the streets, his voice a tender caress to your ear, “coming from you, i certainly did not mind the nickname.”

al haitham raises his eyebrows and shuts his book, “what a fascinating blunder. is that how you view our relationship subconsciously? or perhaps it’s an innate desire you’ve chosen to suppress but accidentally slipped out in a moment of unawareness?”

the scholar has the decency to wait for your answer betwixt your embarrassment, but he eventually sighs when you failed to form a coherent answer that satisfied his inquiries.

“you seem to have the impression that i am displeased at your err. i’d like to inform you that your assumption is yet another mistake - which, i would theorize, was made in the rush of the moment as your nervous system kicks into gear, therefore clouding your judgement. i would suggest you take a few moments to reanalyze my stance based on this new information. i’ll wait.”

and with that, he opens his book once more.

.... um.

congratulations, i guess?

wriothesley takes the opportunity and replies with a cheeky, “yes, honey? what can i do for you, sweetheart?”

he relishes in the utter embarrassment that quickly spread across your face that’s akin to water faced with his cryo elemental energy (though secretly he’s also dying inside at the cheesiness of the situation) and throws you a boyish grin before ruffling your hair.

not a man to let an opportunity escape, the duke decides to leverage the moment to take his metaphorical shot and goes immediately for a straight jab, like an experienced boxer that he is, all the while praying to the hydro archon so that this would be yet another match he could flawlessly win, “you know, my schedule’s particularly relaxed today… i wouldn’t mind staying longer if you want to make it a date?”

neuvillette blinks owlishly, his pale cheeks blooming with warmth as the situation starts to sink in. you, the apple of his eye, whom he treasured dearly and had taken great care to court, had just called him with a term of endearment that he had always dreamed of hearing.

wait, was this a dream? his gloved hands quickly found purchase on his blue horns, before he brought his hands in front of his eyes. okay, he had two horns and ten fingers, still. so he must not have daydreamed this. ah- wait, you’re staring at him. oh, now you’re giggling. and now you’re calling him silly. oh, it should be a crime to be so breathtakingー

it’s not until your expression changed into surprise that he realized he had said that thought outloud.

your teasing “if it’s a crime, are you going to put me on trial, monsieur?” elicits a darker blush on his pale cheeks and an awkward cough out of him.

.... this must be how the young ones flirt nowadays.

“perhaps after a proper date? if it’s not impertinent of me, may i be allowed to take you out on dinner tonight?”
