Particularly choice nugget from that essay:
Context collapse is what happens when the scale of interaction shifts to “the infinite audience possible online as opposed to the limited groups a person normally interacts with face to face. In a limited group, a person is constantly adjusting their tone and presentation of self to fit into the social context. In a situation of context collapse, this becomes impossible.”

For your 666 Lucifer fanfics, I would love to see if Lucifer lost his sight for a day, how he would handle relying on others and not being able to use his desire mojo properly.

Ratings: General Audiences
Words: 666
Warnings: Post-reveal. Borderline crack lol. OOC.
AN: Ohanon… this is probably not what you asked for (j'accuse @ me), but I wentwhere the muse directed! So it’s kind of nonsensical, but I hope you enjoy anyway :)
Also on ff.net | AO3

Lucifer didnot sulk.
Sothe detective was clearly in thewrong when she commanded that he go, “sulk it out in the park!” situatedconveniently across the precinct.
Hedeclined her assistance, because even blind he had dignity, and his wings coulddo the rest.
Hefound himself on a bench promptly, the humans ignorant until a figure trippedover him
“Areyou blind?” Lucifer whined.
Therewas a click, like metal retracting, then a creak as someone occupied the seatnext to him.
“Guilty.”
“Oh.”he muttered, abashedly. “If it makes you feel any better, so am I.”
Therewas a chuckle, and Lucifer tilted his head in its general area.
“Bornor acquired?”
“Arecently acquired lesson from mybrother, Raphael,” he snarled before shouting Heavenwards, “But knowing him,it’s his totally unoriginal idea of apractical joke!”
“Yourbrother blinded you?” he exclaimed inhorror. “Who are you?”
“Whereare my manners?” he crooned.“Lucifer. Morningstar.”
Hebrought his hand up. Thought better of it.
“Likethe Devil?”
“Guilty,”he echoed archly.
Acharged silence followed.
“What,”Lucifer goaded curiously, “no disbelieving laughter? Scornful rejection? Nowait, don’t tell me, you signed the cross?”
Anotherchuckle.
“Look,far be it from me to judge,” he sounded amused. “If you say you’re the Devil, Ibelieve you.”
Hestartled, willing his sight to return if only to confirm the stranger wasn’tpulling his leg.
(Nodice. Fucking Raphael!)
“Doyou, now?”
“Iam wondering though… what you’re doingout here? Shouldn’t you be, I dunno,” he drawled. “Further south than this?”
“LAis hotter than hell, make no mistake,” he smirked. “But I’m retired. Got myselfa new day job—dashing civilian consultant to the LAPD and partner to oneformidable detective Chloe Decker,” he said proudly.
“Ah.”
“Although,I seemed to have gotten her quite cross with me. Nothing new there, sure, butthis is the first she’s banished mefrom her presence post-Devil reveal.”
“Mustbe serious.”
“Ijust don’t understand,” he huffed. “I’m no use to her like this—without mypowers. Of course, I’m upset! Why can’t she see it’s justified?”
“Hey,take it from someone who’s felt useless all his life,” the man sympathized.“But maybe she just… wants you to bepresent? Regardless of what you can or cannot bring to the table?”
“Youmean… be myself?” He mulled it over. “It wouldn’t be the first time,” hepondered, recalling his crazed endeavor to recreate their ‘greatest hits’, ashe dubbed it.
“You’requite perceptive, aren’t you?” Lucifer praised. “For a blind man, that is,” hetacked on unhelpfully, but it was rewarded with laughter.
“It’samazing what strengths you can discern, when you get a feel of another’s blindspots.”
“Right,”he nodded.
Whatever that meant.
“D’youknow, I never actually got your name…?”
Butthere was a tell-tale whoosh, and then a blinding light. Lucifer opened hiseyes to the LA sunshine and an empty bench. His triumphant grin soured.
“FuckingRaphael.”
“Done withyour temper tantrum?”
Luciferglared, but didn’t correct her.
“I…may not have handled the temporary loss of sight well,” he admitted somewhatapologetically. “I just—I never want to be a liability to you, detective. But Isee now that in my attempts to prove otherwise, I ended up becoming that whichI feared.”
“Lucifer,”she squeezed his shoulder in assurance. “You gotta know by now, I don’t carewhether you’re the Devil. I don’t care about your powers. You’re my partner,whatever that entails.”
“That being, you need me…?”
“Your mojo makes the jobeasier, I’ll give you that. But not impossible without.”
She smiled.
“Iwant you. However I can have you.”
Sheraised a brow. “And you’d know all about that, right?”
Hisresponding grin was soft with affection.
“Ido get turned too easily,” hebreathed, “but lucky for me—” eyes bright as stars.
“I’ve a partner to guide me in the rightdirection.”
AN: This was weird lmao tomorrow will be better! Promise!

When You Misuse a Tool, the Tool is You
by Don Hall
We have neighbors across the way. It's an apartment complex in Vegas which means we're all pretty close together and that the walls are thinner than in the MidWest. We hear these two fighting constantly.
A few months ago, Dana heard him outside screaming "WHO PUT DOGSHIT ON MY DOOR? WHO MOTHERFUCKING PUT FUCKING DOGSHIT ON MY DOOR?" They have a dog. It seemed someone saw them take the dog out, he popped a deuce, and they left it sitting there. Seems that someone scooped up the crap and left it in front of their door. Passive aggressive but hardly unjustified. He lost his shit and, according to other neighbors (including the 76-year old single lady right next door to us) yelled and stomped about it for 45-minutes.
I came home that night without any of this info but discovered salad dressing covering our doorknob. It was spread on the doorknobs of the other three doors nearest theirs. Their doorknob, of course, was absent the condiment. The next morning I got the skinny. I shrugged, grabbed some towels and cleaner and washed the Garlic Italian-ness from everyone's door.
A few weeks later, I heard the young lady screaming at the top of her lungs at one of our maintenance workers. The property is well kept and the staff are uniformly friendly. Her issue was that one of them looked at her. As far as I could tell, that was it. She didn't like the way one of them looked at her. As she yelled and ranted, neighbors poked their heads out to yell at her for yelling at him. Her accusation went from being looked at wrong to being harassed to being assaulted.
She called the police.
Unfortunately, the whole village was witness to the whole thing so the police came to discover the almost comical elevation of her j'accuse from a look to assault. They wrote her up for misuse of 911.
Out of rage or fear or petulance, we misuse a lot of handy tools at our disposal.
TOOLS WE MISUSE ROUTINELY:
The Police.
We (as in the generalized collective population of any given city in any given state of the country) call the police when our cable is out, our electricity goes dark, when we feel like the customer service is bad, when there are black kids being loud on the street (or swimming or hanging out in cars or walking or skateboarding or pretty much anything a black kid might do in public). We cal the law on people refusing to wear masks and on employees who won't let you in the store without one.
Podcasts & Netflix
These are medium designed to entertain and, in some cases, cause you to think about the world. Even the myriad podcasts by two idiots yapping about shit and the Netflix quasi-documentaries are still a good use. These are not designed to solve crime. I understand—in a world where everyone has grown up watching Cold Case Files and Unsolved Mysteries as well as CSI, we all believe we can grab an iPhone, a microphone, and be Nancy Fucking Drew but we can't and we aren't.
Your car horn
It’s designed to be tapped to indicate your presence and help with awareness and safety. It is not there to jam down on it to blare your wailing formless profanity at the old lady in the turn lane. Grow up.
Social Media.
The initial point was to rate hot girls on campus. Then it became a way to connect digitally with people we know to share information about our day, our thoughts, our ideas. It morphed into a means to organize under activist leanings. Now, it's mostly used to talk shit, share misinformation, spread conspiracy theories, and organize boycotts of things and people we don't like or agree with.
The Manager
The manager isn't there to make you feel better or appreciated. The manager exists to put together schedules, make sure all the workers are working safely and in a timely manner, maybe open and/or close the business daily. The manager is there to train employees, keep morale up in the workplace, follow OSHA rules, and ensure that women working are not harassed. Your issue with the burger that is missing pickles or your dissatisfaction with the just-outta-high-school counter person is not a good use of the manager's time. Quietly accept a bit less than perfection and stuff it up your ass.
Public Education.
Back in the day, social studies was one small part of the instructional day. Now, social indoctrination is present when learning math, English, home economics, music, art, library, and gym. You know, because of white supremacy and all of that completely non-specific, result-driven, mushy pseudoscientific 'look at the effect then assign the cause' dogma.
My neighbor's dogshit
C'mon.

Roman picante plot
Newspaper spins towards screen
A famous painting has been stolen in the island home of the lady Marion Grey
World famous and singularly stylish sleuth Roman picante in on the case....
Two police officers are talking to eachother, on the other end of the room there is a blank soace on the wall and a yellow glad man examines it
"Who does this guy think he is huh? Hes gettin his grubby paws over the evidence and whatnot"
"Dont you know who this is?? Thats Picante!!he solved the case of the darlington street chicken"
"Holy shi.."
In the background picante has climbed the book case
"Gentlemen please *sniffs and licks book* o need absolute silence.
"If you dont kind mr roman sir what are you uh...Trying to do"
Picante spins around the room taking in huge breaths
"Just taking in the surroundings mon amie"
Montage of roman crawling in the floor with magnifying glass, tapping around the the missing space, banging a gong and listening to how it bounces around inquisitively. And generally investigating in an odd and bombastic manor.
Roman concludes that the criminal could not have left this room
"The dust levels my dear detectives, the aromas! An intruder entered here indeed but i can assure you the villain is still here"
Roman examines the room in a sherlock fashion with words popping up.
"This room....immaculately put together dont you think *detectives nod along* i wish i could agree, but that vase, next to those curtains ......its criminal"
Roman approches the vase as the music builds
"J'accuse vile theif!"
Roman lifts the vase and a figure is perfectly curled into the vase shapes, as he uncurls roman says darkly "Gino medallion!i should have known"
"Ah...picante ...arent you the clever one, have you considered i wanted to be caught."
The 2 stare back and forth.
Gino looking embarrassed, slaps roman and runs for the window!
*smash*
Picante runs to the window to see gino splash into the watwr below "once again gino you slip from my grasp like a villainous eel"
"Look sir" says one of the detectives
A fishing boat comes along and one of the fisherman is overjoyed to have got a huge fish.
Pulling up the net the have caught gino along with a few fish.
The detectives find the painting hidden in the fabric of the curtains having been revealed by the broken glass
Picante returns the painting to madame grey and the two watch as the fishing boat docks with gino in tow
The fram spins out to a new newspaper article
PICANTE MAKES CATCH OF HIS CAREER
(Detectives also involved)
