Reminder: if her product had actually gotten off the ground: literally tens of thousands of people could have died.
And Theranos already did give one person a false HIV positive and told another patient she was miscarrying when her pregnancy was, in fact, going perfectly fine.
Rewatching the “Jack the Ripper” episode of Buzzfeed Unsolved: True Crime, and it gets to the point (early in the episode) where Shane asks if this may have been one of the very first “media frenzies”, and Ryan suggests that maybe people back then talked about it by way of old timey-puppet shows that made satire of current events.
And lightbulb goes off in my head when it looks like a lightbulb goes off in Shane’s head when he says, “OK, I can see that, little puppets, yeah...”
...Puppet shows talking about true crime and famous events
So, I have a Will headcanon that he’s an adventure time, steven universe, gravity falls, svtfoe, infinity train, the owl house, and basically cartoon fandom bisexual nerd (along with sci fi and detective/ mystery thriller but tht’s besides the point).
One of his first songs he learned on ukulele and guitar are songs from adventure time and steven universe but his fav to play when he’s stressed or “stimming” is the Island Song (or come along with me/ adventure time end credits).
Before they started dating, Nico one day was having a panic/ anxiety attack or was just overstimulated and stressed and spotted Will under a secluded tree or in the strawberry fields (idk) playing the Island Song. He was listening from afar and surprisingly, he felt calmer and at ease.
Now whenever Nico has a nightmare or is overstimulated, Will would sing or hum the Island Song. Sometimes Nico would get lulled to sleep or would quietly sing along with him.
Bonus ramble: Also, Island Song is the easiest song to learn on ukulele and guitar, tht’s why imo, it’s a good “stimming song” and the lyrics is really sweet in this scenario too 😭 like it’s such a simple song yet has a lot of depth to it too, okay I’m done rambling.
I’m sorry for what I said in the tags of the ocean post. I’ll throw myself in the garbage. You can dm me your therapy bills.
But come on. That song.
Won't you fall for me, from reality? To the rhythm of eternity. But then the I am yours to the end, so won't you fall for me?
But then! The oh god I wish you were here. It’s like his timeline is all messed up and he’s thinking of the before and the during and the after all at once.
there is a difference between being born to a throne, maliciously vying for a throne, stealing a throne, and having a throne thrust upon you when you are already in the midst of an identity crisis. And I fear Loki's place in the line of succession has people unable to differentiate between any of these
the worst thing about murder to me is the horror it must be to realise you are being murdered - because murder and subsequently dying tends to take a while, especially with stabbing, but sometimes also with shooting, and especially when there is a struggle. like your first reaction will be umm what the fuck right? before you realise oh shit. they are trying to kill me. how must it feel to realise you are being murdered? and what if its by someone you know? someone you trust, someone you love? someone chokes and hits you and youre waiting for it to stop and it doesnt and the horrendous realisation starts to drop that you will probably die? i mean that must also be horrible in other situations, but someone actively violently killing you must be the worst.
I cannot express the anger I experience being unable to do anything about anything while Christians salivate over the idea of the Israel-Hamas conflict being a sign of the Rapture
At least for once Damian get his ass beaten by Tim and Dick goes feral for Jason Todd's sake! Batman possessed or not is not getting a pass hopefully this time 😔!!
