Prompt 252

“Sir, we’ve… There’s been an encounter with a Reaper class entity.” 

There were several classifications for ecto-entities. Several ways the Ghost Investigation Ward classified each. Several common ones that they could easily destroy, easily study. Others however… others were dangerous. Incredibly dangerous. 

There’d only been two other Reaper-class entities confirmed before- both contained but barely. RP-1, a large knight-like entity seemingly made from shadows, and RP-2, a child-like creature that could near perfectly mimic a human. 

And now, there was a third. A third entity that could- and judging from the reports coming in had- killed. Which meant it needed to be contained yesterday. 

“Send out the teams- I want this thing in Site X Now!” 

#DCxDP #DPxDC #Prompts #Why yes the Reaper entity is Jason #The other two are Fright Knight & Danny #There’s only 1 higher level of threat/rarity for ghosts #King Class is what CW & Pariah are classed as & the GIW are very relieved they seemingly can’t leave the Zone #Y’know I’m just realizing this feels very SCP-esque #Look it’s called the Ghost Investigation Ward #They definitely don’t care about dissecting things like blob ghosts (or common ghosts they’re sure there’s thousands of) #But it’s similar to an endangered predatory species for the rarer ones #They just also don’t like release the ghosts after relocating them #Why Yes Jason DOES have the All-blades #And yes they’re all three in the same place because the site is the only one they know can hold them #Shadow Core Fright Knight #Space Core Danny #Star Core Jason #Jason is… displeased by the entire situation he’s found himself in #Also very pissed by the Tiny sickly child huddled under the growling shadow-fire being #FK deserves to be more eldritch I’ll be honest #Halfa Jason #Potentially #guys in white

Sorry I just came to ur blog cuz I saw the lamb post on Twitter…fwiw I really liked it! The image of the lamb’s eyes being “animal and dumb and hold[ing] no accusation” was so clear to me, just the rectangular pupil of a lamb (an evolutionary advantage to better look for danger, no less) looking at you with its last moments of life and not even being filled with any contempt? Over and over again? Idk that image just resonated with me. It was cool. Sorry if this is stupid/you don’t care/etc, just wanted to say I liked your writing and I wish you well :)

lol thank u glad the post resonated <3 just hate what they’re doing w it over there…but c’est la vie sometimes u write something on tumblr.com & a year later it gets reposted on twitter & subjected 2 some of the most annoying people on the internet we’re all here 2gether on this crazy earth living laughing loving etc…

#have had the enlightening revelation that lambpost has been posted around various places. they r taking her out of the nest etc… #upon further investigation have concluded that the pinterest commenters were actually the most annoying. then twitter then tiktok… #but have been receiving annoying comments on this post since it started spreading around here on tumblr so. #at least it’s not me having 2 deal w notifications on those other sites lol #ask #lambpost

posted on facebook an image from one of the sets of stranger things to see if any of my 80’s babies/children/teens/adults fam members or whoever might be familiar with the lore and give me the insight.

i wrote out the post so formal though so they couldn’t get a whiff of the fact i am not asking because i intend to write an article for cinemablend but instead for my tumblr blog so my fellow mentally ill queers and i can go insane over a piece of prop to prove one of the hundreds of theories we all have ping ponging between us

#even tho i’m 23 it would be like ok who cares you have tumblr but this is my sanctuary. tumblr is my diary. #my whereabouts on the site must be unknown to them #with the way i asked they will either think 1) it’s for a college assignment (i am not currently in school so) or 2) they think it could be #for work (i am unemployed) or 3) it’s a hobby and if they think it’s for a hobby hopefully they do not ask to read anything! #like this isn’t for you #i just need you guys for info #i’m thinking of it as investigative journalism #they provide the lore then i write my analysis posts and discuss it with the bffs (aka byler tag) #byler #stranger things #stranger things analysis

Y’all! They made Justus blond and Bob black haired on the (old) French D3F covers and it’s the funniest thing ever. 😂😭

Example 1 (where you can see it best):

Example 2 (no Peter here ._.):

Example 3:

(Peter about to throw something at the giant rock falling into their direction. 😂😂 Yes, save your boyfriend from being killed by that rock!)

Example 4:

(Bob looks low key unfazed and its just so funny in my opinion. He is just like: Oh, yeah a whole boat falling onto me. Not the best… not ideal. Oh well.)

Hey! Just got a quick question. If tumblr were to disappear tomorrow, which app/platform would you go to?

ain't that the fucking question

At the moment, I have no plans of going anywhere (frankly I've tried other platforms and nothing works for me quite the way that tumblr does) but if I do decide to migrate I'll definitely make a bunch of posts about it so people know. I have people I'd prefer not to leave behind if I can help it...

I've seen a few different names bandied about (cohost? bluesky?) but I know literally nothing about any of them and won't be attempting to learn unless under extreme duress _(>﹏<｡ゝ∠)

If the hypothetical digital apocalypse happened and tumblr disappeared and I needed to migrate IMMEDIATELY, you'd find me over on Pillowfort under BenevolentErrancy, probably. It is literally completely empty, but I made it Just In Case back when tumblr first enacted the Porn Ban and things looked rocky for a hot minute

#but i'll be real with you anon #as much as i'm screaming crying biting about this ai bullshit i doubt it'll be what shakes me off this site #i've been here over a decade tumblr is what works for me everything else drives me more than a little insane #as much as i loathe ai it's not like it's going to be getting much from me - i draw comics lol #so whether i'm here or not doesn't make a big difference not like it does for serious artists making a living off their work #but if anyone has a site they think is genuinely worth me investigating please come tell me about it #it'd be good to at least have my ear to the ground #but be gentle treat me like a geriatric dog that really doesn't want to learn a new trick #bene speaks

“well I don’t read/watch the news bc they arent objective and have a clear agenda” as opposed to where. where can you get pure, unbiased news from. unsourced posts on tumblr? infographics on instagram? highschoolers on twitter? facebook? tiktok? be serious.

#relying on 15 y/os with mediocre photoshop skills for information is really going to kick it to the guys at Big Journalism #like there’s first hand sources by civilians on social media and there are *gestures* #there’s never going to be a source that gives you 100% of the information. just do your research and rely on at least 2-3 diff sites #and you can always ​further google and investigate at your own will like #like social media is a breeding hub for clickbait. sites relying on engagement instead of substance create the most brains #*braindead discussions known to man. #mine*

Because I didn’t say it before, happy pride!

And never forget that tumblr is a hotbed for transmisogyny and terf radicalisation so fact checking is good for you

#text #there are more terfs and radfems on this site than many of you will ever realise #and it’s bc tumblr users will see a post and go ‘omg I didn’t know that! I haven’t been paying attention so I didn’t know 😰 REBLOG’ #(this is true for just about any topic) #and that post will have been written by a crypto terf taking advantage of tumblr’s general concern for women’s issues #they know you’re not going to click on hyperlinks and investigate the credibility of sources #tumblr users will reblog anything that sounds About Right and then go on their way

i'm not very good at doing it consistently, but whenever i see something that fits well with my worldview being stated as fact, i like to ask myself: is this a mona lisa and possum?

(is this something that i believed because i think it ought to be so? is there a way that i can truly be sure it's real? are my methods of finding that out, a mona lisa and possum of their own?)

#a lot of the things i say on this blog are meant to be investigated with that question in mind because i'm not very good at showing working #but i'm always working on getting better at it! and i think it's worth doing #o-ver-pow-ered. that spells op #to all the posts i've pinned before #if you're asking me what mona lisa and possum even is well. it's a post around on the site somewhere

[thepastisalreadywritten]

(CNN) — It’s late summer 2,850 years ago. A fire engulfs a stilt village perched above a boggy, slow-moving river that weaves though the wetlands of eastern England.

The tightly packed roundhouses, built from wood, straw, turf, and clay just nine months earlier, go up in flames.

The inhabitants flee, leaving behind all their belongings, including a wooden spoon in a bowl of half-eaten porridge.

There is no time to rescue the fattened lambs, which are trapped and burnt alive.

The scene is a vivid and poignant snapshot, captured by archaeologists, of a once thriving community in late Bronze Age Britain known as Must Farm, near what’s now the town of Peterborough.

The research team published a two-volume monograph on Wednesday that describes their painstaking $1.4 million (£1.1 million) excavation and analysis of the site in the county of Cambridgeshire.

Described by the experts involved as an “archaeological nirvana,” the site is the only one in Britain that lives up to the “Pompeii premise,” they say, referencing the city forever frozen in time by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79 that has yielded unparalleled information about ancient Rome.

“In a typical Bronze Age site, if you’ve got a house, you’ve probably got maybe a dozen post holes in the ground and they’re just dark shadows of where it once stood.

If you’re really lucky, you’ll get a couple of shards of pottery, maybe a pit with a bunch of animal bones.

This was the complete opposite of that process. It was just incredible,” said Chris Wakefield of the Cambridge Archaeological Unit at the University of Cambridge, an archaeologist and member of the 55-person team that excavated the site in 2016.

"All the axe marks had been used to shape and sculpt the wood. All of those looked fresh, like they could have been done last week by someone,” Wakefield added.

The remarkably preserved condition of the site and its contents enabled the archaeological team to draw comprehensive new insights into Bronze Age society — findings that could overturn the current understanding of what everyday life was like in Britain during the ninth century BC.

Must Farm domesticity — and a mystery

The site, which dates to eight centuries before Romans arrived in Britain, revealed four roundhouses and a square entranceway structure, which stood approximately 6.5 feet (2 meters) above the riverbed and were surrounded by a 6.5-foot (2-meter) fence of sharpened posts.

The archaeologists believe the settlement was likely twice as big. However, quarrying in the 20th century destroyed any other remains.

Though charred from the fire, the remaining buildings and their contents were extremely well preserved by the oxygen-starved conditions of the fens, or wetlands, and included many wooden and textile items that rarely survive in the archaeological record.

Together, traces of the settlement paint a picture of cozy domesticity and relative plenty.

The researchers unearthed 128 ceramic artifacts — jars, bowls, cups and cookware — and were able to deduce that 64 pots were in use at the time of fire.

The team found some stored pots neatly nested.

Textiles found at the site made from flax linen had a soft, velvety feel with neat seams and hems, although it wasn’t possible to identify individual pieces of clothing.

Wooden artifacts included boxes and bowls carved from willow, alder and maple, 40 bobbins, many with threads still attached, various tools, and 15 wooden buckets.

“One of those buckets … on the bottom of it were loads and loads of cut marks, so we know that people living in that Bronze Age kitchen when they needed an impromptu chopping board, were just flipping that bucket upside down and using that as a chopping surface,” Wakefield said.

“It’s those little moments that build together to give a richer, fuller picture of what was going on.”

The circumstances of the event that brought it all to a halt are still a bit of a mystery.

The researchers believe the fire took place in late summer or early autumn because skeletal remains of the lambs kept by one household showed the animals, typically born in spring, were three months to six months old.

However, what exactly caused the devastating fire remains unclear. The blaze could have been accidental or deliberately started.

The researchers uncovered a stack of spears with shafts over 10 feet (3 meters) long at the site, and many experts think that warfare was common in the time period.

The team worked with a forensic fire investigator but ultimately couldn’t identify a specific “smoking gun” clue pointing to the cause.

“An archaeological site is a lot like a jigsaw puzzle. At a typical site you have 10 or 20 pieces out of 500,” Wakefield said.

“Here, we had 250 or 300 pieces and we still couldn’t get the complete picture on how this big fire broke out.”

Mike Parker Pearson, a professor of British later prehistory at the Institute of Archaeology at University College London, described both the report and the site “as exceptional.” He wasn’t involved in the research.

“The fire may have been disastrous for the inhabitants but it is a blessing for archaeologists, a unique snapshot of life in the Bronze Age,” he said via email.

Upending ideas about Bronze Age society

The contents across the four preserved houses were “remarkably consistent."

Each one had a tool kit that included sickles, axes, gouges, and handheld razors used to cut hair or cloth.

With almost 538 square feet (50 square meters) of floor space in the largest, each of the dwellings appeared to have distinct activity zones comparable to rooms in a modern home.

“By plotting the positions of all these finds — pots, loomweights, tools, and even sheep droppings, the archaeological team have reconstructed the houses’ internal use of space,” Parker Pearson noted.

“The kitchen area was in the east, the storage and weaving area in the south and southeast with the penning area for lambs, and the sleeping area in the northwest, though we don’t know where the doorway was for each house.”

Not all the items were of practical use, such as 49 glass beads plus others made of amber.

Archaeologists also unearthed a woman’s skull, smooth from touch, possibly a keepsake of a lost loved one.

Some of the items the researchers found will go on display starting April 27 in an exhibition titled “Introducing Must Farm: A Bronze Age Settlement” at the Peterborough Museum and Art Gallery.

Lab analysis of biological remains revealed the types of food the community once consumed.

A pottery bowl imprinted with the finger marks of its maker held a final meal — a wheat grain porridge mixed with animal fat.

Chemical analyses of the bowls and jars showed traces of honey along with deer, suggesting the people who used the dishes might have enjoyed honey-glazed venison.

Ancient excrement found in waste piles below where the houses would have stood showed that the community kept dogs that fed on scraps from their owners’ meals.

And human fossilized poop, or coprolites, showed that at least some inhabitants suffered from intestinal worms.

The waste piles, or middens, were one line of evidence that showed how long the site was occupied, with a thin layer of refuse suggesting the settlement was built nine months to a year before it went up in flames.

"Two other factors supported that line of reasoning," Wakefield said.

“The second was that a lot of the wood that was used in the construction was unseasoned, it was still effectively green, it hadn’t been long in position,” he said.

“The third one is that we have a lack of the kind of insects and animals that are associated with human habitation."

"It wouldn’t be long before beetles would worm (in) … but there’s no evidence of any of that in any of the 18,000 plus timbers.”

The fact that the site, with its rich and varied contents, was in use for only a year upended the team’s preconceived “visions of everyday life” in the ninth century BC.

It may suggest that Bronze Age societies were perhaps less hierarchical than traditionally thought, according to the 1,608-page report.

“We are seeing here not the accumulation of a lifetime, but just a year’s worth of materials,” the authors noted in the report.

“It suggests that artefacts such as bronze tools and glass beads were more common than we often imagine and that their availability may not in fact have been restricted.”
