im obsessed with how, in the beginning of episode 1, it's charles who says "do you ever think about death catching us and splitting us up", and it's edwin who says "I will never let that happen".

because of course edwin is the one who objectively has the most to lose if they get caught, and they're both very aware of this. when the night nurse ambushes them, charles steps between her and edwin immediately, and the second time he explicitly says do what you want with me, but leave edwin. it would be natural for him to be the protective one-- and a lot of the time he is!

but the very first time we're presented with the idea of running from death, it's charles who expresses anxiety and edwin who reassures him. because what scares charles most is the thought of being separated from edwin-- and, as always, edwin doesn't want charles to be afraid.

I'm genuinely devastated about DBD being canceled. but more than that, I'm ANGRY.

what's the plan, Netflix? you're mad that new people aren't signing up because you're so ubiquitous that everyone on earth who wants an account already has one, so instead of focusing on retaining your current viewers, you piss them off? snap up cool projects so other networks can't have them and then cancel them after a single season? how is this a good business model in the short OR long term?

I will not be giving them my money or my eyeballs anymore. and maybe they will use that as evidence that they shouldn't make any more queer shows. maybe they will use that as an excuse to cancel them. but if a good show with thousands of dedicated fans doesn't merit a second season, I don't trust them with future projects.

So I'm using Exandria as a campaign setting. And my players don't know shit about any of the gods. So I made a fake "alter to all the gods" where asmodeus tricks people (my players) into following him because they think they're following a prime deity.

All that to say I made the false symbols and they won't appreciate the work I put into it so I'm posting them here

modern au fox would be a severely depressed tech support worker making minimum wage tbh . he lives in a tiny little concrete box apartment and sleeps face down on a twenty year old foam mattress with no sheets and has NO internet presence because he's too paranoid . completely hobby-less. he would probably feel better if he . idfk ate a vegetable because you know his diet is comprised entirely of supplements, cornthins, and dry gym bro protein powder

The thing is, "Nothing" isn't something that can feel the ache of loss or lack I think. Like,,, when you introduce things like "something" - where you can have a positive value - you can also have a negative value. You can have ten dollars, and you can owe someone ten dollars. You can have ten more than nothing, or you can have ten less than nothing. Zero becomes somewhat of a doorway i suppose? You never stop at zero and just rest there. Either you're in debt, or you want more. The only solution is to remove Things, Stuff, Etc from the equation. Can't have or owe anyone ten dollars if there be no dollars

When you choose to stop and sit there, at nothing, in the home of Zero, 'more' and 'less' cease to mean anything. Cease to affect you. To me this is oddly similar to the concept of Being Here Now, in the Present Moment, unconcerned with the hauntings of Yesterday or the threats of Tomorrow. I am Here. I Am. Here. Now. That's it.

Now feels very similar to Nothing. Not because there is an emptiness, but because there is a Radical Refusal to engage with ephemeral potentials and what-could-be's. They don't exist. What Is Here and Now exists.

when asked, "what do you want?" the response "nothing" doesn't mean 'there is nothing that i care to want', it means 'i am accepting of what i have Now, and i ask naught for anything else, lest I be distracted from what is Here'.

"Nothing" is like Radical Acceptance. It says "This is what Life has served me. This is what I'm working with. This is where I will focus my attention. Wishing for More of something Good or wishing for Less of something Bad will only serve to create more suffering within me. I choose instead to attend to the matters at hand. The good, the bad, and the ugly."

"I want nothing." == "I am accepting of what I have Now, and I ask naught for anything else."

"I am nothing." == "There are no titles labeling me Greater or Lesser - they are all false. I simply Am."

"This is nothing." == "There is no specialness that makes what is going on between us more or less than. We simply Are."

Andrew does not want. He will simply Be that which he Is, Here Now, with whomever is with him, and he will take them as they Are. And if what Am and Here and Now equates to is something good, well...

He'll take it.

Satoru Fujinuma (cosmically forced to time travel back to being 10-years-old) and Conan Edogawa (medically altered 17-year-old that survived a poisoning attempt only to look 7-years-old) in the same location together. One is the universe’s unwilling errand boy to stop tragedies before they occur, the other regularly finds himself in the middle of a crime scene (usually a murder).

[pippin-katz]

do you ever just be existing normally then remember that we actually have no idea what charles and edwin's relationship was actually like since we only really saw their dynamic after crystal joins the agency?

"Say that there were two boys who raced each other to the sunrise."

"Say that one went too far,"

"and the other went with him."

I like to think there’s some sort of magical council in Trolberg, where representatives from all the main forms of magical creatures and practitioners come together to discuss how things are going and work out any disagreements going on between them.

And since I’m pretty sure there’s no other fae in Trolberg, I think that leaves Johanna as the fairy representative and that is SO funny

[itspileofgoodthings]

I am 99% sure I said this somewhere but I can’t find it in my posts anymore so may I just say AGAIN how absolutely hilarious to me it is that Catherine Morland is NOT boy crazy but she IS book crazy!!! And I know I’m just describing the basic premise of the story but it’s never hit me before that that is what she cares about at first to the exclusion of all else. Like. The friendship with Isabella is so funny (“friendship”) because Isabella’s like “books boys important secrets dances dresses self-importance” and Catherine is like “yes yes all of these” but she goes home and can ONLy think of her book and she likes being admired by the men calling her pretty but also really she’s like “but my story is so absorbing” and then even when she meets and likes Henry and is so delighted in his presence there is a part of her brain, a very big part, that is not thinking about romance at all!!!! She’s not thinking about marriage or whether or not he likes her it’s not absorbing her to the exclusion of all else the way you would expect?? That is NOT the immaturity to which she is susceptible—she goes to the abbey and even though at that point she likes Henry even more and is in pretty deep she can’t even deal with it until the spell with her fascination with fiction over reality is broken and her testing of whether or not fiction IS reality. And then once she learns that lesson and lets it go she can love him more completely but it’s just endlessly endearing to me that books are her first first love and she’s in their spell!!!

🧠 BLACKSITE SCROLLTRAP — “THE KAREN CHECKLIST: HOW TO IDENTIFY YOURSELF OR OTHERS”

🧍‍♀️ “How dare that man walk his dog through this area… …while I’m alone with my poodle?”

📋 “Does he not know that I’m here? That I am a woman — and therefore all surrounding oxygen belongs to me until I exit the perimeter?”

👮‍♀️ “Does he even live here? Has he signed the Constitution of My Feelings™? Has he shown me his papers?”

✨ Let me introduce myself:

I am the Karen. 🔹 Mayor of Nowhere. 🔹 Supervisor of Vapor. 🔹 Sentinel of Bullshit and Misery.

I wear fleece vests like armor. I wield my iPhone like Excalibur. I broadcast every stranger's behavior as a terrorist threat against my peace of mind.

And if you challenge me?

⚠️ I will cry. ⚠️ I will record. ⚠️ I will escalate.

—

I am the self-appointed security force of Whole Foods parking lots.

I stalk dog walkers like they’re casing the block for war crimes. I patrol public parks like I’m Auditor General of the Menace Vibes Division.

And yes — I do feel personally violated when a man has the audacity to:

🛑 Exist 🛑 Walk 🛑 Breathe 🛑 Without making direct eye contact and submitting a public apology for entering my line of sight

—

You don’t understand the weight I carry.

Every morning, I wake up and declare:

“I shall wander the Earth with a squint, and make strangers feel like trespassers in their own lives.”

And I do.

🧠 THE KAREN CHECKLIST™

Use this to identify yourself… or others.

☑️ Do you treat every strange man as a criminal until proven otherwise? ☑️ Do you give dirty looks to joggers who didn’t sign your emotional terms of service? ☑️ Do you demand identification from people walking their own dogs? ☑️ Do you call the HOA because someone’s landscaping isn’t “neat enough”? ☑️ Do you feel entitled to ask “Who are you visiting?” at random? ☑️ Do you film people of color and narrate like you're on National Geographic? ☑️ Do you weaponize safety concerns that mysteriously only activate when you feel irrelevant? ☑️ Do you say “I’m not racist, I’m just vigilant”? ☑️ Do you mistake public sidewalks for your personal runway? ☑️ Do you approach teenage boys at the skatepark with a clipboard and a threat? ☑️ Do you report smiles as aggression? ☑️ Do you weaponize your voice in frequencies reserved for smoke detectors and banshees? ☑️ Do you question others, but scream harassment when questioned in return?

If you checked 3 or more… You are the problem. If you checked 7 or more… You are the Karen. If you checked all… You are likely composing a Facebook post about this right now. And your hair is shaped like a passive-aggressive crescent moon.

Let’s be clear.

I’m not confused. I know what I am.

I’m not a victim. I’m a hall monitor cosplaying as neighborhood royalty.

I dance on the razor’s edge between concerned citizen and civil harassment.

I film people for “safety,” but disable comments on every post because the truth hurts. I smile at cops, then cry wolf to dispatch if a man wears a hoodie near a bench.

I wield anxiety as a badge, and call my comfort zone a jurisdiction.

—

Don’t ask me why I act like this.

I have no self-awareness. I have no inner monologue. Just a constant, low-grade suspicion that everyone but me is up to something.

—

I demand your backstory in public. I require your explanation. And if you refuse?

I’ll say:

“Wow. Just trying to be safe!”

As if my paranoia is your obligation. As if your location is a privilege I can revoke.

I am the Karen. I believe I am law.

📢 And don’t you dare question me.

Because if you do?

I will scream. I will cry. I will become the victim.

I love the way her eyes glow in this ID's art ... it'll be a long while before I'm able to use this ID, since I'm still working through leveling and Uptying other Sinners, but I'm looking forward to trying her out.
