Pairing: Ai/Flame (one sided), Kusanagi/???

Rating: G

Word count: 260

"So Flame," Takeru clears his throat, breaking the silence in his room and getting his Ignis' attention, "how exactly do...relationships and all work for Ignis?"

"What do you mean?"

"Like, romantic relationships?"

"You would be better off asking the earth or water Ignis about that. Or perhaps Windy, who knows what he's been up to, honestly..."

"Oh."

"Why do you ask?"

"No reason!"

"Takeru."

Takeru mumbles something about Ai.

"Excuse me?"

"I said "I really thought you and Ai were something...""

"I'm insulted and disgusted by the mere THOUGHT I would have such low standards!"

"Forget I asked-"

—

"Hey Kusanagi! Where were you in this weather?" Ai asks as Kusanagi gets into the hotdog truck, soaked to the bone and without his trench coat.

"I had a date."

"You've got a girlfriend?!" Ai feigns pure shock.

"Boyfriend. And don't act so surprised, you don't even have a leg to stand on here."

"Excuse me?" Ai glares.

"Do Ignis even date? Or...have a reason to have relationships?" Yusaku asks, finally looking away from the computer they've been working on to focus on Ai.

"'Course we do! And apparently you're the only single one in this hotdog truck, because I'm in a serious, long term relationship way longer than Kusanagi has probably even known his boyfriend!"

"Oh really?" Kusanagi crosses his arms, "let me guess, she lives in a different server."

"I'll have you know you know them!"

"We do?" Yusaku raises a brow.

"I'm with Flame."

Kusanagi bursts out laughing while Yusaku shakes their head.

"Sure you are, Ai."

*ghost sound*

Bestie you're welcome to haunt me but I live in a house with six or more animals, four people with ADHD and/or echolalia-heavy autism, and an HVAC system that dreams of being a symphonic orchestra, so you're gonna have to make more than just the one ghost noise to get any attention.

#I know this is a gimmick blog #but I'm very amused by the idea of a ghost attempting to haunt MY house of all places #fuck this place probably IS haunted #I know at least two people died in this place #I like Dorothea just fine but I got fucking questions for Harold #...come to think of it it's weird for Charleston to dedicate to digging a SINGLE hole like he has been #So there's probably animals out in the yard too #it's fine #I don't think I've ever lived anywhere that did NOT have a person die in it #and ghosts are just people making a long-distance call #got a great tomato sauce recipie out of one once

nbc hannibal au where everything is the same except hannibal has a tumblr blog called i-cook-and-eat-rude-people and nobody questions or reports it because they think its just another gimmick blog

#he doesnt post pictures of him eating people or anything #people just send him “rp” asks about cannibalism #and he answers completely accurately #and then the account goes offline for 3 years right as hannibal is arrested #and that starts a bunch of wild speculation about “omg did the chesapeake ripper have a tumblr blog or is this part of the gimmick???” #eventually hannibal makes one final post like “hey guys srry i was gone so long i got arrsted for eating all those people. i am currently #fleeing the country with my boyfriend. expect to never hear from me again“ #and then it just becomes common knowledge that the chesapeake ripper was a tumblrina #its added to the pantheon of messed up crap that has gone on in this site #nbc hannibal #hannibal lecter #nbc hannigram #hannibal #termite talks

Vincent Price - The Tingler (1959) dir. William Castle

For those who did not know about "The Tingler", it's a movie starring Vincent Price (of course). When it was released, director William Castle had an excellent gimmick to mesmerize and startle movie-goers.

Below is a copy and pasted article about said "gimmick".

During the climax of the film, The Tingler was unleashed in the movie theater, while the audience watched a climactic fight scene in Tol'able David (1921). The film stops and, in some real-life theaters, the house lights came on, a woman screamed and pretended to faint and was then taken away in a stretcher; all part of the show arranged by Castle.[12][8] From the screen, the voice of Price mentioned the fainted lady and asked the rest of the audience to remain seated. The film-within-a-film resumed and was interrupted again. The projected film appeared to break as the silhouette of the tingler moved across the projection beam. The image of the film went dark, all lights in the auditorium (except fire exit signs) went off, and Price's voice warned the audience, "Ladies and gentlemen, please do not panic. But scream! Scream for your lives! The tingler is loose in this theater!"[15] This cued the theater projectionist to activate the Percepto! buzzers, giving some audience members an unexpected jolt, followed by a highly visible physical reaction. The voices of scared patrons were heard from the screen, replaced by the voice of Price, who explained that the tingler was paralyzed and the danger was over. At this point, the film resumed its normal format, which was used for its epilogue.

love when a band has lore and i don't mean like the lives of the band members i mean when there's a grand story behind the music videos and the backstory of the band getting together being like "three aliens landed on earth to bring sick tunes to humans?!"

#or just like a gimmick to the band in general like all wearing masks (slipknot mushroomhead etc) #or a uniform or something anything gimme fun stuff

A Nice Night

Pairing: Saya Sasayama/Lulu Obsidian

Rating: G

Word count: 350

(Cross Posted On AO3)

It was a quiet, calm night. The only sound the TV still playing on a low volume and a light wind outside.

The others had all gone home or up to bed already after a movie marathon together.

Someone had cleaned up the living room and tossed a blanket haphazardly over what appeared to be a sleeping pair.

But Lulu was awake, sprawled out over the couch on her back, one leg hanging off the edge, out of the blanket, her arms wrapped around the other girl, who was sleeping, her glasses set on the table by Kite as he left.

Lulu had her own eyes closed. Not to sleep or rest, but to appreciate the moment.

Saya had gotten scared during the very first movie and attached herself to Lulu, where she'd stayed the rest of the night, falling asleep during one of the much calmer movies that followed. Lulu didn't know which one.

Shay had teased her briefly about cuddling Saya the whole night, but was the one that tossed the blanket over them before going upstairs to bed.

It was nice.

It was peaceful.

It was right.

Lulu could spend forever feeling slightly crushed under Saya, listening to her soft, uneven breathing, gently playing with the short bits of Saya's hair that she could wrap around her fingers, and basking in the warmth it made her feel to know Saya felt safe with her.

But no sweet moment lasts long enough, let alone forever...

"Did everyone else leave?" Saya asks groggily, sitting up just enough to rub her sleep heavy eyes, before her whole face turned red as she blinks to adjust to the low light and no glasses and she realizes where she was.

"Shh, don't worry about it, let's just sleep," Lulu hugs the other girl back to her chest gently, "it's late, and I'm comfy."

Saya takes a second to get comfortable again, nestling her face into Lulu's shoulder, and falling back to sleep.

Lulu's still not so quick to sleep but it was true.

She was so. So comfortable.

"Night, Saya..."

"Goodnight, Lulu."
