I think people forget that sam winchester was sort of a little shit when he was younger lol

I did consciously process today that the "How high up does this darkness rise?" "About a mile." "That is fascinating." "Oh, there's so much more. :3" exchange is the literal first words that Caleb and Essek say to each other directly, which is HILARIOUS to me because it's always been on my list of wildly early moments in which the wizards were, for no reason, partaking in what we shippers back in the day used to call 'eyefucking'. Literally from day fucking one.

SLASHERVAL PRESENTATIONS: presentation labels like bear, butch, etc, but for slasherval/myersic individuals. instead of being based on masc/fem qualities or body type, it is based on style and personality, and the slasher archetypes

SLASHER: a slasherval person who presents in an edgier fashion, potentially with punk/metal influences. spikes, studs, sleeveless denim, darker colours, band and horror movie tees. might come across as aggressive, hostile and intimidating to people they do not know but is not when you get to know them

FIRST VICTIM: a slasherval person who presents themselves in a fashionable way, with nods to 90s and early 2000s styles. typically wears the brightest clothing and enjoys patterns/animal print. they may be perceived as catty, but are true ride-or-dies, fun and outgoing

FINAL PERSON: a slasherval person who presents themselves in a more casual way. can still be stylish, with more nods to 80s fashion, and can have any combination of dark, neutral or colourful shades. they are usually more laid back, rational and have problem solving skills, but can be seen as more quiet, observers

HARBINGER: between a slasher and a first victim — (can have) an eclectic, DIY style and eclectic personality. can be perceived as weird and offputting and relish in their strangeness

SKEPTIC: between a first victim and a final person — (can have) a more casual style than a victim but more stylish than the average final person. typically outgoing and very unashamedly vocal of their opinions

NERD: between a slasher and a final person — (can have) a casual, sometimes academic leaning, style, but often featuring horror merch and a touch of edge. often has a wealth of horror trivia at their disposal and useful in a pinch

Tom Riddle played the piano, taught from an early age due to growing up in the church. He took to it quickly, considered a prodigy by his teacher. So good that by the age of seven he was asked to play during services.

The orphanage had been donated a piano years ago, usually left untouched unless one orphan wished to create music. When Tom began his lessons the piano begun to sing, the boy coming to practice everyday even when he didn’t have lessons.

The other orphans were afraid of Tom and kept their distance, but when they heard the piano they couldn’t help but collect in the halls and rooms near where the piano was kept. Almost every day at five like clockwork the sound of music would fill Wool’s dreary halls.

Upon going to Hogwarts Tom was appalled to find there was no piano to play, his fingers itching to run up and down ivory keys. He quickly charmed one of the professors into getting one, and soon Tom was practicing again. Hogwarts hadn’t had a musician in a long time, and the magic seemed to come alive with the return of one.

When Tom returned to war torn London the other orphans couldn’t help but perk up despite how they despised him. Wool’s pianist had returned, and the fear seemed to subside ever so slightly when notes filled the air once more. However, this time they were haunting and spoke of the pain that seemed to seep into the very walls of the orphanage.

Graduation brought a heavy weight to Tom’s chest, no longer was he able to access a piano. When he landed a job at Burgin and Burkes he found a cursed piano at the back and quickly dismantled the magic to play again. There, the dark magic that filled the shop learned what it meant to rest.

Then came his travels. There were months he was incapable of finding a single piano, leaving the yearning to grow in his chest. Though, eventually he would come across another musician, and would often be taught a new instrument while reuniting with his. He had even preformed on stages across the globe with other men and women who shared his love for music. He had learned the saxophone, violin and dozens more on his travels, but he always returned back to his first love.

With the fifth Horcrux Voldemort was born, Tom losing interest in music, his mind becoming consumed by hunger and madness. No longer did he yearn to speak through the language of the stars, now all he sought was destruction.

That day magic cried out, begging for the return of the musician as the soul placed in a diadem could only scream in mourning for one last song that would never come…

obviously the convoluted, meticulously planned scavenger hunts nancy drew finds in almost every game are unrealistic, but what IS very realistic is that the people they were made for never get close to figuring them out or even realizing there WAS a scavenger hunt they were meant to go on in the first place

Everyone has that one childhood character crush that defined the type of characters they’re into later down the road. So who got me into the awkward nerdy type….

…

If y’all fuck with this post I’d love to know the childhood character crush that changed your brain chemistry forever….

I used to be scared of heights as a child, I got over it by reworking my brain. It's not the distance to the ground that's important, it's the distance to your ground. Maybe your ground is the swing your sitting on, the large playground equipment that's taller than you, the top of a slide. Maybe your ground is the top floor of an office, the seat of a commercial flight, the roof of a building.

So now imagine two characters, 1 being afraid of heights and 2 having wings. 1 is freaking out about the thought of being in the air before 2 reassures them, saying it's not the distance of the ground to be scared of. It's the distance to 2. 2 is their new ground. As long as 2 is right there, it's safe.

ponyboy's favorite mario princess to play on literally any game is rosalina change my mind

It hurts my soul at certain characterizations of Markus bc he’s canonically a well educated artist that paints, reads philosophical works, plays piano and cooks a mean breakfast like my guy is a fuckin nerd. He’d lose his shit if he was let loose in an art museum you guys just forget he’s far from a brooding two-dimensional leader if placed in the right environment he’d show a vast appreciation of the arts.

Jayvik nation I need opinions for my most beloved and babygirl AU I am cursed with visions of.... The Hex-Files AU.

I'm plagued by it constantly I mean LISTEN LISTEN, it's perfect!!! Jayce "Spooky" Talis, laughing stock of the FBI for his eccentric and esoteric interests!! Left down in the basement with a bunch of unsolvable cases that he lovingly keeps trying to solve case he KNOWS that shit is Magic/Paranormal!! He's completely OBSESSED, and also has not a lot of people skills given, well, his obsession.

Viktor having annoyed enough higher ups with his desire to actually be in the field for FBI work and the higher ups condescendingly taking one look at his leg and cane then going "No <3" before sending him down to the Hex-Files unit to "reign in" their little """rouge""" agent. Thinking so smugly they are 2 birds 1 stoning it. He's sooooo mad, he's smart, and capable, and if SOMEONE would just let him actually HELP PEOPLE he'd be SO GOOD AT IT Actually, OBVIOUSLY. The hubris <3.

Mulder and Scully's first meeting IS so Jayvik coded I'm right and I will NOT accept criticism.

Their first meeting starting off on the wrong foot??? With Jayce on the defensive but when they both are like, genuinely invested in their unit Actually??? Whoops wrong move Head Office these two are Insufferable now actually and will enable each others most Unhinged tendencies. In 1 case (more like in just their first meeting) they became ride or die and joined at the hip. I love them, they are haunting my dreams.

Also the name Hex Files??? It's perfect!!! Don't trust your government (Council)??? It was meant to be!!! It's doomed me in the narrative!!! Now I have to like.... plan stuff and figure out long term story lines, I'm ruined!!! I'm in shambles!!! I'm overcome with love and excitement!!! My head is in my hands I am sick!!!

Do you think Nightmare ever wonders if Passive is still alive?

Like, okay. The way I think of it (because I want it to be possible for everyone to be happy in the end) is that when Passive ate all the apples, he and the corruption fused. Like, they both are controlling his body but the corruption had complete (or at least majority) control for a long time because of the concentrated power from all the apples. But Passive was still in there, and over time he was able to pry back more and more control over his body and mind.

But he probably wouldn't realise that was happening because how do you tell the different parts of you apart after so long. Do you think he thinks Passive died in the incident and he's just the sentience of the corruption? Do you think, in a truce situation, Dream calls him brother and Nightmare wonders if any part of Dream's brother is even in there anymore?
