sometimes my brain makes horrid sentence combinations that I only manage to barely avoid saying

#LRB #I originally wanted to say “yeah lee hakhyun SHOULD be wet and whimpering” but. well. #i realized what that would fucking sound like in the last second #lee hakhyun

I really feel like there’s an interesting way to tie demonism to wh but not in the “THESE PUPPETS ARE LITERALLY DEMONS” way but in the “unfounded satanic panic” way

#welcome home spoilers #wh spoilers #the timelines don’t add up bc satanic panic happened in the 80s #but there is an idea there if we pair it with show sentience theory.. #wh characters (Wally mostly? Home too perhaps?) show that they are sentient. show producers let their fear over shadow their reasoning #satanic panic esque pandamonium ensues. puppets are all written off as demons. insert Christian religious trauma metaphor here #in their fear the show’s producers go through with a ritual to exorsize the show’s entire concept from our world #now nobody remembers this show (except the question answerer apparently but well this theory is just a brain exercise really) #previously mentioned characters are still sentient but they are trapped. ideas cannot die. they are forever #they are stuck in stasis for 50 years until the whrp begins. they can finally interact with the outside world again #etc etc July 22nd site update you get the point. whps is a sentient idea & relies on memories (physical or mental) to exert its presence #& gets written off as evil/demonic bc people do not care to truly understand it. there’s an autism metaphor in there somewhere I think #txt #welcome home #welcome home theory #don’t take this too seriously bc this is more of a mental exercise #than a theory. like I’m just fucking around here #lrb

That just makes me think about this very stupid au I've had in my head the past week or so of the v3 survivors having to make money somehow after the end of Danganronpa so they end up having to do Danganronpa sponsored events or ad reads which just completely drains the life out of them. Shuichi Saihara sells out to advertise raid shadow legends

#shut up me #maki would be the hardest to pull into this but himiko and shuichi selling out like this is such a depressingly funny thought to me #shuichi's smiling to the camera holding up The Product but his eyes are completely dead inside #Himiko doing disney channel esc bumpers for tv shows #maki refuses to participate for as long as possible #save them #lrb

sorry not sorry zoro does not have a stupidly defined six-pack wherever he goes. let him relax. let him sleep and have those muscles chill the fuck out. it's okay i promise

#lrb #just because he doesn't have a six pack every waking hour of the day doesn't mean he isn't strong. Guys.

Palestinian men and boys between the ages of 12 and 70 are stripped, cuffed, blindfolded and then loaded onto the backs of trucks to be taken for interrogation. Some have numbers written on their arms. Hundreds detained in Gaza have been transported to the desert prison of Ketziot, near the border with Egypt. Others have probably been taken to nearby military bases. Some men who were taken prisoner in Beit Lahiya were stripped and transported to fenced-off camps where for days they were tied up, beaten and tortured. Others have disappeared. The IDF has subsequently said that between 85 and 90 per cent of these detainees were civilians. Israeli forces have repeatedly raided UN schools and detained any men found inside. The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights documented an incident on 19 December when the Israeli army surrounded and then entered a building in the Remal neighbourhood of Gaza City. ‘The IDF allegedly separated the men from the women and children, and then shot and killed at least eleven of the men, mostly aged in their late twenties and early thirties, in front of their family members.’
