#WITHOUT fear of consequence

[biceratops7]

*bracing myself on my knees and trying to breath, nursing a cramp*

I got here as fast as I can. I just wanted to point out that THIS…

Is one of the gayest fucking lines of television I’ve heard in my life.

Even if the presence of the song itself somehow wasn’t a flashing spotlight enough, the literal voice of God directly draws attention to it. Telling us that in universe, a nightingale really is in fact singing in Barkley square, and to know its music is sweet regardless of if we can hear it. Just like there are really in fact angels (one fallen but we’ll let it slide) dining at the ritz, and they’ve been falling in love regardless of if they’ve been allowed to openly pursue that feeling.

And hell, maybe it’s BECAUSE of the traffic that the nightingale finally sings. Perhaps it wasn’t ready until it was sure no one else could listen.

#couldn't get this across but God's tone of voice on but it was there... is SO telling #there's such a cheekiness to it #part of leaving the garden means leaving that surveillance #being able to make free choices and do so PRIVATELY #WITHOUT fear of consequence #something beautiful and rare is happening at that table #and it's now NONE of heaven or hell's damn business #good omens #ineffable husbands #Crowley #aziraphale #season 1 #a nightingale sang in Barkley square #episode 6 #1x06 #biceratops #meta #analysis

it does something incomprehensible to my little writer’s soul whenever alex articulates a phenomenon of the writing process i’ve always picked up on and then goes on to describe it in exactly the same way

#when i first heard him say this when i was watching the interview i legit had to pause the video for a moment #because it was like he’d actually taken my words straight out of my mouth #literally for years i’ve been fascinated by the little timeless pocket between dusk and dawn where there’s so much freedom #to explore creativity uninhibited and unobserved and without fear of consequence #the way it allows you to create things almost as if they don’t really exist #or like the rest of the world doesn’t #and the magic of that freedom #like if you create things on the cusp of dreams it’s almost as if they don’t count #they’re liberated from any usual self doubt or self criticism that invades the imaginative space during the daylight #why am i making myself sound like a creative vampire 😭 #i’m going to stop rambling in the tags now sorry #i fear absolutely none of this makes sense #kudos to anyone who’s read the whole way through this #the gist of what i’m trying to say is that it’s such a special feeling when someone whose writing you adore and connect to so much #puts into words elements of the process that have always resonated with you #and this is just one example too #right i’m going to stop rambling now #but one last thing before i go #on a more superficial note: can we appreciate how softly spoken and soft fluffy haired he is here?? 🥺 #alex turner #humbug era #arctic monkeys #alex vid #lulu posts

Oh my god elias pouting and grumbling all the way whenever he has to have a work trip. "I forgot my heart shaped pancake molds!!" "It really doesn't matter elias" "shut up peter you don't know shit" looking longingly out the window like......... I miss london...... Its too hot/cold/dry in here

LITERALLY. also i am going to make this about jonah being an extension of the institute once again. literally removing the heart from the body. he gets seasick he gets homesick he starts crying and refuses to do anything. you cannot take this man away from his institute!! he will die!!!

#hello welcome to the tags where i tell you how i really feel #jonah attached to the institute by choice suffering everytime he's forced to leave #vs. lena chained to oiar by force. tied to it by violence and fear. unable to leave at all. #also. jonah literally founded the institute. created it. of course he's a part of ir #and it's a part of him #the two can't be seperated without consequences. #tma #the magnus archives #tma headcanons #jonah magnus #elias bouchard

You think they're gonna retcon Oni Lloyd?

It's a sucky thought, especially since we got so little time with it while the Elemental Dragons at least got 3-4 seasons, but I've been thinking about it. The only times Lloyd gets extremely pissed is when it has something to do with his father (ending of Season 4, Seasons 8-10, etc.), with Crystallized showing this at its peak.

The thing is, I dunno if they'll be able to put Garmadon in life-threatening danger again for something like this to happen again. Maybe they'll explore Lloyd's darker side or have him start to get madder and learning to temper his anger, I dunno, but unless they have an arc like that or just have him able to turn it on at will (kinda lame), I dunno how soon we'll see it again, if we even do.

We'll probably see it again because of Rule of Cool and money reasons, but I still wanted to express my rambling thoughts on this shenanigan

#could you imagine he starts getting snappy and the ninja #and a rift lowkey starts forming #kinda like a bigger version of what happened when he held the Forbidden Scroll in S11 #kind of been playing with this idea for a Morro AU #Lloyd hangs out with him and learns to express/control his anger instead of holding it in I dunno #also Morro would be back lol #anyways #how do you think they bring back Oni Lloyd without making it overpowered? #the dragons at least were too big too slow and disappeared due to the fear thing #what consequences to the Oni form do you think they'll make? #oni lloyd #ninjago #ninjago united #ninjago spoilers #lloyd montgomery garmadon #lord garmadon

detective comics #484

[ID: college aged Dick Grayson, in his Robin costume, talking to Mr. Haly (the circus owner) after preventing a tragedy from occuring. Dick worriedly asks, “But what will you do now, Mr. Haly? With the damage caused by the fire you might have to sell out...” Mr. Haly reassures, “No, my boy, because for years I've been recoevin these checks — anonymously! Thanks to them, the Haly Circus will remain in my control!” He shows Dick the check, who instantly recognizes it! He thinks, ‘Hmmmm, that check comes from a bank where a certain Bruce (Batman) Wayne is a heavy depositor... What do you know!’ He tells Haly, “Well, you're still on top, Mr. Haly — and I have places to go!” END ID]

#OUGH LOVE THE IDEA OF BRUCE ANONYMOUSLY SUPPORTING AND FUNDING THE CIRCUS BECAUSE ITS IMPORTANT TO DICK.... #i think bruce is the type of autistic to hesitate in saying vocally how much he cares because its difficult to find the right words and his #fear of saying the wrong thing (and how he puts his foot in his mouth often which furthers those fears) and it can be damaging because #people wrongfully take his more quiet nature as not caring. but just how his actions show time and time again how much he cares and loves.. #from silently supporting the circus without even telling dick to his frequent anonymous donations to charities to his nightly paroles #like bruce is a character who loves so much that it can be destructive. that's what makes him so interesting. #he has the brains and logic and everything. he's called the worlds greatest detective for a reason. but his heart is what controls him #he KNOWS the risks he's taking every night and does it anyways. he KNOWS its a Sisyphus task to attempt to stop crine and protect everyone #he tries anyways. he KNOWS the possibility of some people rehabilitation and change is so low that it barely exists. yet he holds onto hope #anyways because theres still that small chance. its a man that isnt reckless because hes stupid or unaware of consequences #its a man that has plans upon plans and tries to be prepared because hes aware of the risks yet does things anyways #this is messy and unrelated to the panel itself i just got struck with a ‘god i love bruce wayne and his love language of silent actions’ #c: detective comics | i: 484 #crypt's panels #bruce wayne #<- cause he was mentioned :3 #dick grayson #robin i #haly's circus

You know a drama that would have been better if a beloved character had actually died?

Weak Hero Class 1.

#weak hero class 1 #I kept this to myself long enough #that would have been a horrible (painful) ending but it felt right #they delivered a strong message concerning the normalization of violence at home and at school #the destructiveness of pride and envy and the you're-either-above-or-below mindset #and about going too far without even realizing it. #about getting lost in your own head‚ in your fears and insecurities‚ and losing sight of what really matters. losing your sense of reality. #[redacted]'s death as a consequence would have really driven the sentiment home #so it was disappointing when they took a step back on that

[While I don't hc that killers are completely barred from the campfire, I do believe it's the only space they all get their powers nerfed to hell in order to stop them from fucking with the survivors too much. (So basically it weakens them down enough to force them to turn heel and gtfo)

So while I picture Wesker being able to approach it, he rarely does. He tends to avoid the woods surrounding it as well. He is defaulted to fear bright light because of The Entity's influence, but also came into The Fog with a fear of fire as well. So he's not interested in going near it.

The one and only time he has approached the Campfire (so far) is to hand off a cat that was left in the RPD realm.]

#- - ooc #[I envision that the campfire is like the safe zone for survivors] #[It's the one place they can just exist without fear] #[And because of this I imagine there's serious consequences for a killer going too close to it] #[hcs]

going insane thinking about a world where this line was meant to be said to beatrice

[ID: 3 screencaps of Lilith from Warrior Nun season 2. She is saying, “Come with me. Adriel will give you the freedom you’ve been seeking. You can finally be yourself without fear of consequence.” /end ID]

NuclearBlood

I decided to make my soul-sona for @federthenotsogreat ‘s story My Crown in Red (MCIR). I got inspired after reading so much of Feder’s lore for MCIR.

NuclearBlood (gender fluid) was born without their arms and has adapted to life without them. Growing up, NuclearBlood was interested in the history of radioactivity, nuclear bombs, nuclear plants, nuclear plant meltdowns, any precautions taken to minimize the damage, and the consequences of nuclear waste on wildlife/people for decades. He would always be caught reading a library book about uranium, going on websites about how far a range a nuclear bomb had and simulating it on different towns, and trying to devise their own bomb. This didn’t go over well with their school, but NuclearBlood didn’t give a shit.

This is reflected in her soul. NuclearBlood is extremely unpredictable. Most of the time he is calm, but you never know when she’ll blow up. She’ll hold details against someone or tear them to pieces (thanks to her good memory). And when they go off, it’s a shitstorm - buildings are destroyed and tainted with radioactivity, and the effects stay around for a long time. While the impact is more felt on locals of a universe, the radioactivity can slowly decay at the other souls’ power and health (but never kills, only slows down the process of regeneration). His blind eye can detect radioactivity levels. Her goal is to carry out nuclear bomb experiments on universes and connections between universes to see what happens.

He feels himself rotting; someone needs to stop her before she undergoes complete decay.

#@federthenotsogreat #here is my edgy soul-sona for your AU #Feel free to use #NuclearBlood struggles to grasp consequence out of fear it will ruin her observations and interest #The issue isn’t the interest but his selfishness towards others #Each universe is like a science experiment to Nuclear Blood #They adapted well to a life without arms and don’t consider it a tragic sob story; they get annoyed when others pity them #The nuclear powers more than make up for it #If they transform into soul and then light the world is screwed

[sunglassesmish]

I think our @ Misha when talking about when he is online might have finally scared him away 😔

honestly he should be. WHY IS HE EVEN HERE. (long rant in the tags sorry)

#anon #ask #see i’m conflicted. this is where i thirst over misha without fear of consequences or being noticed by anyone other than mishafuckers and #the rest of the people who follow me #but. misha being here significantly puts a damper in my thirsting parade #like come on you aren’t supposed to be here!!! why did you come back after almost 7 years #it coincides with the twitter thing. i saw felicia day complaining that more people saw her tweets when she paid for a month of twitter blue #to test it out so maybe misha knew about that #and he knows a significant number of people are on tumblr #but then on the other hand it’s funny to know when he’s been online on tumblr. and when he doesn’t even post it’s like HE’S LURKING #so i think like 80% of me doesn’t want him here but the rest does #so if he’s scared away i’m okay with that!

people acting like there isn't still very much an active stigma against cannibas and cannibas users is going to be my joker origin story

when i go to the doctor they still put cannibas use under the tab "substance abuse". not even just substance use. it is fully assumed that people who use cannabis, even as a prescription medication, are abusing it. just because you're friends with a couple of dumbass stoners doesn't mean that we've abandoned the idea as a culture that weed is a bad and scary and dangerous and highly addictive drug that will ruin your life if you use it once

#idk what its like in other countries but in the us and especially in red states fear mongering about weed is alive and well #'it ruins lives' -direct quote from a library board member making it so we can be fired for testing positive even w a prescription #i just take umbrage with posts about addiction that go out of their way to mention weed which we all learned in 6th grade is addictive #but dont also mention that this true of all prescription drugs and that a person can be dependant on a drug for health reasons??? #yeah i get anxious and cant go a day without weed. because i use it to treat my anxiety and pain. i also get anxious without my wellbutrin #but people arent lining up to make posts about it?? and like you CAN obviously become addicted to prescription drugs its super common! #so i kind of feel like it would be far more useful to say 'this is true of ALL drugs. including weed caffeine and prescriptions' #you should always research ANY drug you take. prescription or not. find out about addictiveness + side effects + other drug interactions #and you should talk to someone if you feel anxious about your relationship to drugs. prescription or not #there have been many times where i was prescribed way too many drugs at once and it made me feel anxious and uncomfortable #so i talked to my doctors and consolidated several and it actually made them work a lot better #locked reblogs because i KNOW people are going to read this is 'so you should never ever talk about negative consequences of weed' #and im pretty sure the people who follow me will be able to understand thats obviously not what im saying #but as soon as it leaves my blog whos to say. but anyway like. I think we should talk more about addiction to all substances #and not just the ones that were already covered in DARE #I feel like at this point everybody has heard all of the negative possibilities with weed use at least once #and that's not necessarily true of caffeine and even like. benadryl lmfao #I might delete this in 10 minutes if I psych myself out akbdjznsjf

wish morrigan knew ok boomer meme. it would solve nothing and piss off squall in every conversation they have so i think it'd be worth it

#nevermoor #can't wait for morrigan to fully get over her fear of squall so she can be a regular snarky teen with him #cadence would definitely ok boomer him #hawthorne too if he realised that he could do it without consequences #book four: ezra squall vs his greatest enemies yet annoying teenagers he can't kill

Serot's own arsenal of spells and generally how he applies necrotic magic differs from modern day Anactaci. You can clearly see the foundation he laid, but it has been over a thousand years. The order has evolved considerably in that time. There's also the fact that he was reborn at level one and has structured his skills to suit his present needs, but [hand waves]

There are different sects and roles within the Anactaci who call on the Plane of Death in different ways, but certain generalities can be relied upon. Their magic is largely geared toward what would be considered divination. They are the bridge between this life and the next, the messengers of eternity. They commune both with the souls of the dead and with spirits — chiefly spirits / entities on the Plane of Death but spirits of all types, including those like Refhremmit. Indeed, every City of Eternity has one Anactaci dedicated to communing with their patron. It is a sacred office.

Beyond that, their magic is deeply focused on the soul and the threshold between life and death. They are adept at identifying and countering curses or maladies of the soul. They are adept at identifying and addressing possessions or spiritual attachments. The skilled can manipulate the ravages of time on a body or object (a skill shared with the Manthu). The most skilled of all can leave their bodies behind to inhabit ritually prepared objects; these become the teachers of the Anactaci and keepers of the deepest mysteries.

Yes of course, they animate and preserve corpses, either directly or by calling a spirit to inhabit it. This is part of Meketi funerary rites. But, simply making dead things move is only part of their skillset. Indeed, it's the most basic part.

Anactaci are bound by sacred oaths to turn their magic to holy purpose and with a thought for balance always. However, a truly irate or unscrupulous Anactaci could do serious damage. Particularly if they are skilled. Insidious curses and nigh-undetectable possessions (i.e. slowly driving a person to madness with ill luck or nightmares; far worse curses are possible). Yanking a person's soul directly from their body, either holding it captive or causing it to become lost. Learning secrets from spirits or from souls that can utterly destroy a person. Causing them to rapidly age, turning to sun-bleached bone before their eyes, one limb at a time. Or causing them to wither, then return to their correct age, then wither, then return to their correct age — over and over until they don't know whether they're alive or dead. If capable of severing their soul from their body, they can possess others directly, influencing or totally overriding their will. They might not touch a person at all; they might sap all life from their home instead.

Fortunately, such corrupt Anactaci are rare — and swiftly dealt with.

#META / HC: WORLDBUILDING. #RE: ANACTACI #this isn't a polished meta #but I'm reading about Chosen so obvs magical abilities are on my mind #Serot's rain of blood and animate blood he learned as a ghul lord have the fucking pizzazz #but modern Anactaci are frightening in ways you don't think to fear til it's too late #or rather they have the potential to be if they forsake their oaths #which has consequences. Anactaci and Manthu both are literally bound by their oaths. those tattoos aren't merely aesthetic #but that's a discussion for another time #Serot getting angry enough to yank someone's soul directly out of their body tho . . . #he would have to be beyond incensed for that #and would feel absolutely disgusted with himself afterward. like might vomit type of disgusted #still. if Serot wasn't a moral man. he could be horrifying #he could make your blood boil you alive from the inside #he could make your own body turn against you while you're trapped inside helpless #he could keep your soul in a jar while he puppets your body #and allows you to learn whether the incorporeal can feel torment #he could call the Plane of Death into your very soul and watch it consume all life within you #and leave your body to infect anyone else nearby with the same fate #he could banish part of you to the Plane of Death so that the part of you on the Material Plane experiences that torment without reprieve #and must live from then on missing something with a searing ache that was swallowed by death itself #or he could banish you there just briefly and pull you back before you exploded. dangling you just above death like a pot of boiling oil #he could call down plagues. he could raise droves of undead their ranks replenished by their victims #he could drain life from the very earth itself #he WON'T but he COULD #well also it's gonna take time to get back to the power level he was at before dying in his first life #and frankly he doesn't want to be back at the level if he doesn't have to be #but y'know. first life. if he'd been a cruel man.

Having anxiety sucks oh my godddddd. Good news! Your doomsday end of the world paranoia is gone! Unfortunately it has been replaced with health paranoia 😐😐😐😐😐

#Used to be so anxious about the world ending I would HAVE to check the window a few times every hour #Or look up at the sky obsessively to make sure an asteroid wouldn’t come down to splatter me #And now I can’t do anything without feeling immense fear that my heart will randomly stop #Or that like it’ll have severe future consequences #LET ME EAT MY DAMN BURGER IN PEACE GIRL #I mean.. at least it has made me eat healthier? Idk. #Anxiety is so odd like that #Not a vent post btw I’m just giggling at the shift in fears

Popular analog horror has gone down the antisemetism rabbit hole so I no longer feel bad about using a vaguely similar idea. I think we need a Jewish analog horror ARG in fact

#Nah they’re not just supporting Palestine if they talk about Israel spreading propaganda and ‘getting what they deserve’ #And ‘facing consequences by powers less cowardly ‘ #Oh yeah I’m sure you’re not antisemetic when you’re threatening that more powerful countries will nuke Israel off the planet uh huh mhm #Anyways if anyone wants to join me in creating a completely jewish analog horror arg hit me up it’s our time #mango rambles #personal fruits #jumblr #ישראבלר #Not naming names but the fact is you can probably think of like. Five examples #Cool cool this doesn’t make me scared about content in the future at all. #I sound joking and all but I’m actually legit terrified #No space is safe for me #Not the magical girl fandom. Not the animation fandom. Not music or art. And now not even online horror #I legit have no place left. The only ones accepting me are either run by Jews or VERY small communities that don’t care about politics #When we say we are alienated now- think of what I just said #Every group has run me out of it. I can’t talk about anything I like without fearing for my online safety. #And people think this is an appropriate price for me to pay despite being a disabled queer mentally ill person. Someone who they’re suppose #To protect. WHO they still claim to protect. But when you add Jew #Or heaven forbid Israeli #To the mix. Suddenly you don’t get inclusivity anymore #WHO CARES if your hopes for the future rest on you creating art because you’re never gonna be able to support your family or get a real job #Should’ve thought about that before you parents were born in Israel if you wanted to be treated as a human being #Fuck everyone. My hopes for the future are legitimately so gone I’m always looking forward to dying so these people can be happy. #All I want is for everyone to be happy even at my expense. Sure my family will grieve #But millions of people will cheer for my death. That outweighs it. It’ll bring so much more happiness if I die. #This is my state now #I hope all you fucking Americans are happy. The country is going through a mental health crisis caused by you and you’re laughing #And tearing down posters of our cousins and siblings and friends. Laughing about it #And then go on to pretend to punch fictional nazis when in fact you are supporting real ones right now #I’m so done with everyone. Sorry about how series these tags are

Well. My evil run is turning out to be not so evil.

The issue is that even without amnesia, Estryd still desires to be free of Bhaal.

I imagine that she has had several periods of rebellion in her unnaturally long life, where she ran away from the temple and tried to resist Bhaal. They all ended pretty similarly; the Urge would win, she would murder someone (often someone she loved), and then the people around her would turn on her.

The only place that always welcomed Estrtd back was the temple.

Over the years, Estryd was worn down, and accepted Bhaal's destiny for her. She learned to revel in it even.

But now she's travelling with the tadfools. Who are all actively struggling with powerful or cosmic forces that want to control their lives. It's been uncomfortably familiar. It's made her bold.

I just did the Guantlet of Shar, fully intending to make Shadowheart a Dark Justiciar this time. But Shadowheart reminds Estryd so much of a younger version of herself. She's trying so hard to be faithful but is so obviously unsure. But Shadowheart still had a chance to get away, she wasn't bound to Shar by flesh and blood.

So Estryd persuaded Shadowheart not to kill the nightsong.

It makes sense for her story! But still! I've only made one outright evil decision so far.

This Estryd is a person who enjoys murder. She's not a good person. I'm so bad at doing evil runs I made an evil character who is doing the good path. What is this.

#bg3 #evil estryd #estryd 2.0 #canon estryd's amnesia basically reset her to who she was before the urge wore her down #she's ready to rebel without fear of the consequences #and then slowly learns to fear them throughout the game #here's hoping i can at least succesfully get an ascended astarion this run #and a god gale #though i think estryd wanting to control the absolute and become a god #is going to get in the way of gale becoming a god
