as the sun ducked behind the hills, a feeling hung in the air like fog. a feeling on the precipice of eerie, as the day comes to an end and the night only begins. for many creatures the night is not to fear for it is only a beginning. a gateway to the creatures that roam the streets and hide behind our neighbors faces. only in the dark does the inhuman not have to hide or fear. those who fear the dark have far more to hide. to them, the night is a predator and the human is the meek prey. for us, the darkness is neither predator or prey. it is a friend. a blanket made of stars and sky, a sanctuary after a long day, cathartic isolation, a home no matter when or where. we are the shadows that hide in the dark. there is no need to fear us. unless you fear the dark. the darkness is us and we are the darkness.

also quite obsessed with karl being as detached from the story as he is. there's nothing that makes him have to be the detective that has to be involved, but he unknowingly dooms himself by agreeing to work with the KYAL cult. every other detective basically deals with elias head on except weissman, who only meets him right before he kills him. like he's right when he says "by my choices" because everything that leads him to being mixed up with the mannix cult is himself. it's the gambling debts and the choice to do the dirty work for an organisation he knows nothing about. he's the only one that doesn't encounter that body doing police work and it's specifically because he's told to cover it up. he gets himself into the mess and eventually fixes it but the fact that esther always dies in the doomed timelines and he's always too late even if he starts wanting to change things ("till this child. esther.") it just makes me very ill
#sorry jane who heard this on her dms but now im posting it to tumblr cause im having a category 5 woman moment. AND ALTERNATIVELY:#i am also EXTREMELY obsessed with how its a time loop and the idea (so sorry tumblr user whose post i have lost and was inspired by)#weissman was just so fucking hard to deal with that they made sure that he was in their pockets. i just like the idea of the loop--#--having like. fixed points that elias would need to ensure the dystopia (body is covered up/the investigation closes/etc) but#how they get there is a slightly slower process and the earliest loops were the messiest/most unpredictable#and what we see in the show itself is like. the most streamlined version over hundreds of loops and attempts#so karl specifically. lonely that he is and determined to survive. AND with a cruel streak against people he doesn't like#kept nearly blowing their operation so they began to incorporate him in it instead#there's also another tragedy in there if /esther/ is what they realise works best against him..#just love and kindness for a girl that weissman comes to see as family and they immediately exploit it after learning during an early loop#im ignoring specific plot points here (polly seemingly panicking when esther shows up at the station) but I DO NOT CARE.#THERE'S ANGST HAPPENING RN. IM CREATING SCENARIOS TO HURT ME#now if i could write coherently this would be written as a fic but im stuck writing too long textposts#karl weissman#bodies 2023#bodies netflix#sorry to the other detectives. weissman in particular is my babygirl who i devote most of my brainpower to#personal

After spending so much time watching dimension 20 I seriously don’t think I’ll ever be able to tolerate regular tv. My little gay heart has never seen this kind of queer representation in tv and it is nourishing my soul. And queerness is never the butt of any joke and the characters experiencing and figuring out their sexualities isn’t always sad and dramatic.
I have never related to something so much. This silly show of just a bunch of cool actor friends playing D&D has probably changed my life: I feel like I know who I am better now???
I am eternally grateful to Brennan Lee Mulligan and literally every person involved in Dimension 20 for giving us this show and this outlet to figure ourselves out. Also gonna be eternally annoyed with Dimension 20 every time I have to watch a straight romcom - give me gay wizards and fairies and candy people any day

Love between Fairy and Devil (2022), dir. Yi Zheng
It seems the rumours are true. I've heard more than 800 romances about you and the Moon Supreme Lord. The plot even makes my face blush.

Hi! Ive been a fan of your works for awhile now and id like to request something different, like tatia x reader (including the mikaelsons) with reader and tatia dying together.
Three Words
Tumblr media
Female reader x Tatia Petrova
Warnings: death, blood, knives
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Elijah and Klaus watch as Tatia and you dance to the music by the big bonfire. Everyone in the village thinks that you're best friends, you're rarely ever seen apart. Which is what you both want everyone to think, knowing what would happen if they knew the truth.
The truth that only the two Mikaelson brothers know. They promised you both that they would keep your secret to the grave.
You guys laugh and twirl each other around. Dancing with some of the younger children when they come up to you guys.
You wave over the two young men to come have fun. "Oh come on, stop being so stoic, have some fun," Tatia tells them. Before long, the four of you are laughing and having the time of your lives.
Everything is perfect.
Until it isn't.
You watch in horror as Esther bleeds your girlfriend out, collecting her blood in a basin. You try stopping her with a blade that is lying on a stool. As you close on her, she mutters something and the blade goes flying out of your hand to the other side of the room.
You let out a scream before noticing how she let go of Tatia who's barely breathing, onto the floor. She advances up to you before dragging you over to the basin as well, using the same knife she used on Tatia, on you, bleeding you out into the basin.
Your love's and your blood mixes together in the basin. Your eyes feel heavy by the time Esther's done with you. She drops you next to Tatia and picks the basin up before leaving through the wooden door.
You turn to the best of your abilities to Tatia, who is blinking slowly as well. Her frown turns into a small smile seeing you. Her mouth parts slightly, "I love you" She whispers just loud enough for you to hear.
"I love you too" you muster up strength and whisper back. That's the last thing that happens before everything's dark.
The room is silent, no more breaths of air emitting from your guys' forms on the ground.

i do think it's really fun how they consistently show oliver building a wall around himself whenever anything fucked up happens to him. he stays in his room for three days after allie dies and leila is so unsure of what to do she just goes into his room to leave him a slice of pie and leaves within ten seconds. he stayed in his room when he got bullied and had to be dragged out of it. when he discovers the truth about allie he stays in a coma and then within the coma IN THE ROOM.
even outside of his bedroom any time anyone's like hey you good he goes yes ^-^ even when it is blatantly untrue. right after he gets out of the soulsnare coma esther is like ARE YOU. OKAY. and he goes me? i'm fine ^-^. when you see alicia in the glittering grotto oliver swears to save her and esther goes "oliver..." and he immediately goes sorry everybody ^-^ and keeps moving. but the most insane example of this comes from dotdd and it's when he is GIVEN DEADLY POISON AND COLLAPSES IN THE STREET AND STOPS BREATHING AND WHEN HE WAKES UP AFTER BEING GIVEN AN ANTIDOTE EVERYONE AROUND HIM GOES HOLY SHIT, OLIVER, ARE YOU ALRIGHT, AND HE GOES haha i was just tired ^-^
the only time he doesn't do this is when he is actively in distress right at that moment. if he's not actively sobbing then baby he's completely fine you have to trust him don't EVEN worry about the tear tracks. actually coming back to this i lied the other time he doesn't do this is specifically to drippy (awww) when he's trying to convince him that we HAVE to break into myrtle's house mr drippy it's the only way because if you hadn't helped ME i would still be shut away! which isn't concerning at all i promise!
it's also worth noting that when the problem concerns other people this does not apply. again this is most noticeable in dotdd (because it's superior) but he has some small moments in wotww. he's also very blunt about other people. does not mince his words. recognised character trait. in dotdd it even nets him a nemesis. but HIMSELF? he gets genuinely pissed off at drippy referring to him as a crybaby and insists it's not true. when helping myrtle drippy even remarks on it as he asks if oliver is crying and oliver snaps at him that he wasn't and he says "so much for you being honest..."
it's just such an underappreciated character flaw of oliver's i think. world's sweetest least emotionally vulnerable boy

AITA for not giving this guy another chance after he mistreated me?
I (22) have been pining over this person (500+) for over three years now, but it reached a breaking point and I gave up.
Tumblr media
I was the one who pursued him because he seemed lonely and lost and he always rebuffed my attempts at making friends, but like the utter dumbass i am, I tried and tried; i even went up to his mom's house and got killed because I wanted to enact revenge for him.
And yes, when i said I wanted to make friends with him, I mean it in every sense of the word. I tried to reason with him, to be like him so he can have someone to relate to. Hell, I even tried to join his weird-ass cult before it dissolved. That's how obsessed I was with him.
Emphasis, of course, on was.
I started having dreams of another guy (24) who's just like him-- only this time, he's a bit kinder. A bit more softer. A bit less like a monster, and more... humane. Well, time "passed" inside that dream and I realized that I liked this person more than I liked that guy, so I wanted to stay with him forever.
Alas, dreams aren't meant to last, and I woke up as a consequence of a botched attempt to repair that asshole's consciousness. (EDIT: Lesser Lord Kusanali gave me admin access. Y'all can't see what it is because I signed an NDA.)
Of course, it's back to this person and not the kind one-- but this time, I knew. I didn't tolerate shit from him-- but when it came to too much and tore a love letter right in front of my face, I had enough and told him to fuck off and die.
So, i hereby contacted an insider from the Akademiya and slept in a medically induced coma for a year. (EDIT: a more accurate term is Dendro-hastened slumber, thanks u/akademiya-tighnari!) And yes, that meant I get to be with that other guy more!
…but for some insane reason, another year with him got cut short by-- you guessed it-- the same asshole who mistreated me. I gave him the cold shoulder, as I did the year before I slept, and told him to fuck off repeatedly when he kept following me like a stray cat. (EDIT: no, I did not have a chance to file a restraining order to the Matra-- he's a nobody in every sense of the word. no records, no anything. I don't even think I knew what his name is.)
He kept trying to talk to me about giving him another chance, but I told him that that bridge isn't even burnt, he dropped an atomic bomb on it and blamed me for making him do it, and told him once more to get lost and get out of my sight.
However, my therapist thinks I should give him a chance as he was her former client as well, and she can see that he has changed. (EDIT: No, I did not force her to violate her patient-doctor confidentiality, stop spamming comments.)
My other friend (26) confirmed my therapists observations. I usually trust his judgment, but I'm not sure I should trust this one. He has a propensity for embellishing truths.
So, am I the asshole in this?

Wollsocken und Zigaretten (und warme Umarmungen im Abendlicht)
Hey besties, es ist fanfiction Zeit!
Ich hab eine Pia/Esther fanfiction aus meinen Docs gekramt, die ich letztes Jahr im März geschrieben habe, love here, please read her!
Danke @starlighnes für's beta lesen und pressuren, I needed that! <3
5.6k Wörter, T-rated, keine Warnungen.
Esthers Augen sind wieder auf Pia gerichtet, wie sie da mit ihrer Kaffeetasse steht, das Gesicht voller Sommersprosse, die Augenlider schon schwer, obwohl es erst kurz vor eins ist. Sie muss aufpassen, dass ihr Blick nicht zu liebevoll wird. “Was ist denn hier los?” fragt Leo dann. Esther schaut zu ihm und sieht, dass er die Akte runter genommen hat und die beiden anblinzelt. “Wieso, was soll sein?” fragt Pia zurück. “Ihr steht da so,” erklärt Leo und gestikuliert mit der Akte in ihre Richtung, als ob das irgendwas erklärt. Esthers Mundwinkel zuckt. “Wie denn?” *** Esther und Pia sind zusammen, Adam und Leo spekulieren.
Den Link findet ihr im Reblog!

"When they asked me what I wanted to be I said I didn't know.
'Oh, sure you know,' the photographer said.
'She wants,' said Jay Cee wittily, 'to be everything.'
I said I wanted to be a poet."

Reflection
Elijah meets his aunt and hates what he sees.
It’s like examining a twisted mirror.
When i give my word i keep it.
It makes a horrible sort of sense meeting her, the woman who had broken their family before he was born. The one mother had loved first, and betrayed first because he has learnt his mother’s love comes with pain and betrayal.
Dark hair, dark eyes, sharp features and cold intelligence.
I’m a man of my word. 
I make a deal, I keep a deal.
All his life he had thought it was his dead older sister that had damaged his mother’s heart so she couldn’t wholly love him, but no it wasn’t his sister’s absence he reminded her of, it was her own.
Dahlia smiles at him like she knows him and he hates he can almost feel the expression on his own face, hates he knows the pull of those muscles.
He hates her most, he thinks not just because of her threat to Hope, not because she stole his sister and left him to live in the shadow of her grief.
He hates her because it’s so much easier when he already hates himself.

Modern loneliness masks itself as hyper connectivity. And so people have easily 1000 virtual friends, but no one they can ask to feed their cat. That loneliness, which is really a depletion of the social capital, is extremely powerful. […]
