hi whump community let me tell you about a drug called datura!! because boy is it a doozy.
datura is a deliriant, which means it is a hallucinogenic drug capable of causing serious and often terrifying delusions and hallucinations that are literally indistinguishable from reality in the user’s mind.
It is poisonous and part of the nightshade family, and the dosage used to get high off of it is actually very close to the lethal dose. it is also not only entirely legal in most places but also very accessible. it’s grown as a house plant, actually. most people who trip off of it only do it once because of how awful of an experience it is. also trips last like a long time (anywhere from 12 hours to 3 days if i remember correctly?)
the hallucinations that come with this drug are incredibly horrifying, making it literal nightmare fuel. also the more long term effects from it can include permanent psychosis and lingering delusions. fun stuff.
common hallucination experiences from this drug include the following:
- heavy gore
- seeing corpses
- feeling like you’ve been transported to an alternate dimension (hell)
- seeing people or entities you know (but a little fucked up)
- parasites and bugs
- feeling as though your organs are falling out of your body
- shadows in the back of your vision
- smoking phantom cigarettes or eating phantom food (phantom in the sense that they aren’t really there)
- torture scenarios
all in all, i think it’s a rlly interesting thing that can definitely be used in whump. like imagine a whumper lacing someone’s tea with that. the whumpee wouldn’t even be aware that something was done to them due to the fact that they physically cannot tell the difference between delusion and reality. real fun stuff. probably need an immortal whumpee though just cuz if someone takes this there’s a high chance of them getting hospitalized.

obsessed with the idea of the doctor and the master standing together in opposition to gallifrey post-end of time. less in it being the reality of the situation, and more in it being what the master perceives it to be in the immediate aftermath of being. well. told he was going to be disposed of. the combination of that rejection with the doctor choosing him, the way that sets them up with a common enemy. but where that enemy for the master becomes gallifrey in the abstract with the council as the face of it, the doctor never sees it that way, never thinks of it as the two of them against their own world. the doctor, crucially, kept count of the children. when he saves gallifrey, it isn’t about the master at all, not to anyone but the master themself. because how are they supposed to take the doctor choosing gallifrey over them as anything other than a betrayal.

the best thing about working at a bookstore is getting to see what kind of books people buy. Today a sweet grandpa came in and bought a few of the most violent, gruesome thrillers I’ve ever seen. A grandma with sparkly sandals and a straw hat bought two scientific books about a bird from Syria. A young father asked for entertaining family dramas, he wanted something light. I love people and their specific interests in literature

Finally saw Jimmy’s episode and man you guys weren’t kidding about Jimmy’s reaction to Tango admitting to staying with Fwhip for a bit…
Also the start of Fwhip’s episode where he’s like “Tango agreed to help with redstone wonk but I don’t have redstone so I need to get some so he stays” and then saying that Scar can’t decided whether to stay in “Gobland or with the Toy” and his scheming to make sure both Scar and Tango leave Jimmy and stay with him? Man this is fascinating!

me, seeing a controlling freak of a man but he’s a fictional character: there’s something insanely wrong with you but i’m going to study you. i am going to psychoanalyze you and shake you around like a soda can just to watch you explode. i love you because to an extent, i do understand your rage and your grief and your ghosts. i will also be the first one in line to tell you that your suffering does not make you worthy and your manipulation does not make you some genius mastermind, it just makes you sad and hollow. but i will take the time to understand you because don’t we all want to be seen
me, seeing a controlling freak of a man but he’s a real person: don’t fucking look at me don’t fucking talk to me don’t even fucking breathe in my direction

Watching this historical epic/biopic movie that is currently focusing on the relationship between these two guys and early in the movie, one guy taught the other guy to wrestle, in a series of scenes that involved both men stripping shirtless and grappling each other. Naturally I looked at that and went “Huh, kinda gay 😏”
Of course 1) that’s kind of amatonormative! And 2) this is a Chinese movie, so there’s some cultural differences. But 20 minutes and a timeskip later, the two guys meet up again, one having been caught napping half naked in the local temple, and this guy immediately decides to convince his friend to strip topless (again) and wrestle.
His Ass Is Not Beating the Gay Allegations lmao

Thinking about that interview Gerard did where they said they write songs for Bandit all the time
and the interviewer was like “man you could have any girl in the audience right now because you said that” (as if G hasn’t spent their entirety in the limelight trying to counteract that mentality of rock artists)
And they were clearly expecting like a soft sweet lullaby but when Gerard plays the song it’s SO on brand for their art and it’s just hard as shit with killer instrumentals and you can FEEL the camaraderie ooze out of the audience because they were obviously envisioning a Gerard so far detached from who they really are
But the song slaps ass and G was so proud of it
And I’m again left with the question of
Why does every interviewer who talks to them feel like they would bully me in high school lmfao

i need to know the actor and that paper pls
anything to talk about My Guy bdhshshdhsh,,, the actor is conrad veidt, specifically as cesare in the cabinet of dr. caligari (i have posted. a fair bit. about it…) and the “paper” is from the BFI classics book on the film (my bad). the only place i’ve been able to access it is thru my university, but a more diligent person could probably pull it out from somewhere. there are a hell of a lot of interesting articles on the film, as well as the man himself, and i highly encourage any ~film enjoyers~ to watch it if they can stand silent films !! you can find the whole thing on youtube for free (some are poorly cropped and cut off his head at key moments rip but most are surprisingly good quality). veidt is a fascinating critter.
