Au where Minos' prime soul returns to his original, decimated body after it dissipated

Him huddling over the husks, using his body as shelter... He couldn't even soothe them, too overcome with horror at himself. He just stared at them and cried.

They gathered before him, and he dared not to reach for them.

Eventually, one husk step forward and held their arms out to him. Carefully, so very carefully, he lowered a hand to them and they hugged his finger, just like they did the day he died.

His hands were horribly disfigured and covered in untold amounts of blood, yet the motions were so familiar when he traced their face with a fingertip.

Days blend one into another as they find shelter in the ruined city. It hurt him to leave them, but he roamed the layer, seeking survivors. Every shadow that fled from him is another knife in his heart, but he persevered. He had to.

It never got quite crowded at their little refuge, but there's enough husks that the sound of people stopped getting drowned out by the howling winds. They cleaned out rooms and held each other and grieved for countless bodies. Minos knelt before the seemingly eternal pyre and ran through prayer after prayer until his mangled vocal chords gave out.

Still, he did not feel any closer to forgiveness.

Minos can barely talk with his death wounds, but he hums all the time. Lullabies, elegies, old love songs from the city's heydays. The husks join in with whatever sound they can make. Just as often, they screech melodies and make him sing along, rowdy bar songs and ballads full of dirty jokes, trying to make him laugh.

He's turned rather touch aversed, because sometimes when he's holding his people, his muscle memory reminded him of how it feels to crush them in his hands. He tolerated his people's affections because he had to be there for them.

just saw someone on twitter say that “of course you ship the nd girl with the first hot guy who was ignorantly nice to her” and well, ignoring MANY issues with that statement, saying that frank was “ignorantly nice” to mel specifically, NO ONE ELSE BUT MEL, is kinda like,

are you being purposely obtuse? did you watch the show with your eyes closed? did you miss the fact where langdon, was, in no way even remotely that nice to any of the others? like…

i would argue langdon is more of ignorantly a dick with everyone, and just with mel he was being purposefully nice and kind

Lady Gaga, "Killah"

Ms. Germanotta doesn't leave much in the gas tank after this performance on Saturday's SNL. From her brand-new LP, Mayhem, a barnburner of a tune ingeniously done live in and around Studio 8H.

Sorry for the delay on Mark S fic, I’ve been a bit unwell with something that seems to be going around, but I have written something for that sexy man with the good hair, and I will edit and post it soon when I can stay awake enough to make sure it’s fit for reading

Meanwhile I’ve been reading Sherlock Holmes & the Christmas Demon by James Lovegrove and it’s so tasty!! I very time I read a Sherlock book I’m left wondering why I still haven’t written for my first fictional love, John Watson. God he’s just sooooo

And, I mean???

I am sorry, you're right. I was moreso thinking of physical harm to the child and wasn't thinking of the parent or the possible psychological harm to the child

That was stupid of me

But no I didn't not mean parents have ownership over their children

Or the hole torn in the fabric of a community. That too... it's hard to explain that part, but it is-

I'm still being argumentative. I apologize for my complete lack of manners.

As said, I need to blow off steam and cool off.

A Pragmatic and surprisingly comforting perspective about the Trump 2nd Presidency from the ACLU

***Apologies if this is how you found out the 2024 election results***

Blacked out part is my name.

I’m not going to let this make me give up. It’s disheartening, and today I will wallow, probably tomorrow too

AND

I will continue to do my part in my community to spread the activism and promote change for the world I want to live in. I want to change the world AND help with the dishes.

And I won’t let an orange pit stain be what stops me from trying to be better.

A link to donate to the ACLU if able and inclined. I know I am
