they literally are so real though. God of light is like “hey your wife killed a whole load of people and if you go hang out with her you will Not have a good time” and the first thing she says to him is “what if we took over the world by violent force and installed ourselves as the gods of the world” and he goes “ok :)”. and hes right.

[INCORRECT BUZZER]

->HE SAYS<- "hi i'm back. anyway apropos nothing i want to unite the world under one banner. for. um. undisclosed reasons". and SHE says "ok :)" <- their actual conflict has very little to do with this*

the thing he has a problem with (and which ultimately tears the rift between them) is her religious stance, because she is an unyielding apostate and he is on a mission from the joker of gods. and he spends his life guiltily withholding that information from her, because if she knew this was a mission from the joker of gods, she wouldn't be helping him do it

anyway ozma's sudden wish inherently carries violence with it and salem is smart enough to understand that and articulate it back to him. religiosity aside, they are on the same page about that; there is no world where "making the entire world bow to the same worldview/ruler/ideology/(sotto voce: and religion)" does not imply violent conquest of existing nations and cultures. she makes clear to him what needs to happen for him to get what he wants, and that she is willing to do it with him, and he's like "epic, i love my cool wife. let's not discuss religion at the dinner table 😬"

violent conquest was not even remotely on salem's itinerary but it is what he's suddenly talking about post-reincarnation, and she's willing to do it with him. SHE said "ok :)". We're All In This Together ❤️

but yea they're so real. i wish them a very merry "soulmates being twisted and used against each other so severely that they can no longer recognize each other's hearts". and a happy new year

New Mexico State Penitentiary

The New Mexico State Penitentiary is notorious for its violent history, including the 1980 riot. Due to overcrowding and an abusive staff, the history of this prison is covered with blood and violence. Today you will not see the conditions that led to so much upheaval but there is a chance some say you could see New Mexico State Penitentiary ghosts.

The prison was first opened in 1885, after construction was completed. The design of the penitentiary was based on the same blueprints used for other prisons, such as Sing Sing. In 1903, NM became the first of the western states to employee prisoners in highway construction. By 1922, the prison was overcrowded. The convicts began rioting due to the poor food and excessive force by the correctional officers. When they refused to go back to their cells, the guards opened fire. By the end of the riot, one inmate was dead and five others were injured. In the following investigation, the officers and guards were blamed for the riot due to lack of experience.

This wouldn’t be the very last of the rioting. In fact, it would only get worse.

In July 1922, the prisoners rioted again. They claimed that they were tired of the excessive force used by the correctional officers and decided to hold Deputy Warden R. Tahash and several guards hostage. In the resulting fight, two inmates ended up dead and many others were wounded. This riot ended to the abandoning of the original building. A new facility was constructed in 1956. It would come to be called the main unit of the prison.

Unfortunately, there would be yet another riot in the main unit. This would become one of the deadliest and worst prison riots in the US. In 1980, the inmates rioted over a two-day period. Twelve hostages were held hostage by some prisoners who managed to escape from their cell blocks. By the time the rioting was over with, some 33 inmates were killed. Some of the inmates deaths were rather violent, as they involved a blow torch.

The main unit would remain open for another 18 years before it was finally closed. It was shut down for good in 1998. Today, it’s referred to as The Old Pen. It has remained empty since except for the occasional New Mexico State Police and National Guard training. It was also the location for the remake of the film The Longest Yard.

Since it has such a violent past, it’s no surprise that the prison is allegedly haunted now. Some of the paranormal activity claimed is an apparition of a man in green convict apparel walking through the hallways, icy cold spots in random places throughout the prison, loud disembodied voices and cells doors opening and closing on their own.
