#and that research has led him to the empty earth theory which is essentially a mirror earth devoid of human life right next to our dimensio

10 and 25 for rome >:)

oc asks!

10) What fact do they excitedly tell everyone about at every opportunity?

rome is part of the group of people who discovered black holes! he's not one to brag about that but he loves talking about black holes in general, and discussing all his other theories. he's a walking encyclopedia in general but especially space facts will get tossed at your head all day if you're not careful

25) What subject / topic do they know a lot about that’s completely useless to the direct plot?

rome's best friend at the academy, morris (red reaperkiller's blorbo), has an angel stuck in his computer and because of that talks about angels a lot. rome would've had a hard time believing him at first since he's a man of science, but rather than becoming a sceptic he always tries to prove things with logic and reason and this situation is no different from that

because of this, he has knowledge with which he can create many devices that could be used to detect the paranormal (since angels and demons and to an extent ghosts too have the same origins in this universe), as well as measure frequencies in the surroundings that can accurately predict an angel warning (kinda like how you can predict extreme weather; angel warnings are stuff like huge flocks of birds that can do a lot of damage, or a light anomaly getting tangled up in electrical cords, etc)

while it's not entirely useless to the universe itself, it IS useless to the direct plot since rome's field of expertise is space and he has entirely different things to worry about, with his sister judah having vanished in space first and foremost, but now also a crew returning from the moon with only three of the original crew members of which two barely function anymore and a cosmonaut from some other mission they saved from certain death from a russian spacecraft in the moon's orbit. he's busy!!!

the technology he could develop would be super handy for some other guys running around in this universe but they're all the way over in louisiana (around rome's hometown actually! but that still doesn't change the fact he is now in the state of washington very very far away with a moon crisis (it's not the moon) (they think it's the moon) (it's all connected to judah's disappearance from many years earlier) (they don't know this) (rome suspects it but wants to be wrong so bad because if he's right that means he will probably never see his sister again) (he's right))

#asks #devilbrakers #ask:rome #oc asks #THANK YOU sorry i went off with the answer for the second one but like it's important. there's so much lore #rome basically theorizes about the existence of the eldritch god leviathan because of reports of astronaut madness #which lines up with earlier reports dating back centuries from sailor's madness during long ocean trips or arctic expeditions #and that research has led him to the empty earth theory which is essentially a mirror earth devoid of human life right next to our dimensio #which is leviathan's domain and is basically where those hallucinations come from #ocean / space / arctic regions are so open and empty and the empty earth would be basically That. but Entirely #judah and her crew went to space to work on the deepspace acceleration the united states is working on (mainly for energy purposes) #but it accidentally sends them straight into the empty earth as like. a failsafe from. the universe?? leviathan?? who knows!! #either way to prevent the universe from literally ripping apart they're sent to the empty earth. and rome suspects that they're there #and he's right. sorry king!

People All Over the World Are Reporting Sleep Paralysis Creatures Known as Night Hags

Jason woke up every night feeling pinned to his bed. The terror was very real. He could feel an unknown presence looming above him in the darkness. His hobby of photography had recently taken him to several reportedly haunted locations. Did something follow him home?

Jason has always been intrigued by abandoned buildings. A recent road trip with a handful of fellow photographers brought them to several paranormal hotspots. They spent a few hours at each location, focusing on the architecture and scenery. While he didn’t necessarily get any creepy vibes while shooting the location, he still worried that something might have tagged along for the ride. What else could have woken him up in the middle of the night? The possibilities are as follows:

1. Sleep Paralysis

According to sleep researchers, a phenomena known as Sleep Paralysis, also called Old Hag Syndrome can cause you to become paralyzed while waking. When we fall into REM sleep, our bodies automatically paralyzes themselves, with the exception of eye movement and breathing. This prevents us from hurting ourselves while we dream. Acting out a dream of running or falling could create serious damage to ourselves or our bed mates if this didn’t happen. In rare situations, sometimes the mind wakes up before the body does, which essentially paralyzes us, but leaves us fully aware. Some people who encounter this, also report the feeling of being watched or seeing something in the room with them. Many of them see an old hag-like creature sitting on their chests, pinning them to the bed. That’s where the theory gets interesting.

Typically, people who research sleep issues seldom delve into the paranormal probabilities. It’s far easier to explain a situation with proven scientific theories behind them than it is to blame it on something like ghosts or demons, but it still bears discussion. Can ghosts actually cause sleep paralysis? Is there any truth behind the Night Hag concept?

According to psychic medium, Barbara Williams, there could be more to it than a medical condition.

“Yes. There can be cases of entities holding someone down. It may be rare, but people can have attachments and possession,” she said.

2. Paranormal Entities

Ghosts can and will attach themselves to the living. While many of them roam the earth with no desire to interact with their living counterparts, many others have darker intentions. They latch onto the living, using them as energy food sources while finding delight in tormenting their days and nights. I know this firsthand, after contending with a malevolent entity in 2011, something I documented in my book The Soul Collector.

In Jason’s case, I asked him if he had any other experiences that could point towards a haunting, such as items disappearing, mysterious sounds in empty rooms or a feeling of being watched. Thankfully, he hadn’t. That led me to another question. I asked him if he could sometimes control the direction of his dreams.

Was he lucid dreaming?

3. Lucid Dreaming

People who are able to control their dreams are lucid dreaming. By realizing they are dreaming, they can take their dreams in any direction they want to. Unfortunately, a side effect of this is inadvertent sleep paralysis. In Jason’s case, he’s had one experience where he was able to control his fear and fully wake himself up, which could be the start of lucid dreaming.

Understanding all the circumstances surrounding a Night Hag episode is essential to stopping the process from reoccurring. If this happens to you, do your homework and then work on finding a solution that fits your situation.

If it’s truly a Night Hag, then you have your work cut out for you. Seek the assistance of an experienced psychic medium to help you clear your energy.
