#the center of danger is here

[silly-plush-corner]

[12,000 years into the future]

Two teenagers, wandering the outskirts of civilization, take a small detour from the day’s adventure, drawn by the mysterious allure of a metal sign.

The taller, the leaner of the two takes the initiative. He approaches the object of interest, paying no mind to the now-clicking meter clipped to his legwear.

“Well, well, well, what is one of these babies doing in a place like this?”

“It’s an old, forgotten corner of the world, dumbass,” bites the second, a shorter, rounder boy, “where vintage, nerd shit reigns supreme.”

The taller boy draws yet closer. “I mean, how is this thing even still standing?” He asks with a laugh as he rattles the post back and forth.

The plate creaks as it is playfully thrashed about, before falling from its place, down into the sand.

“Welp, there’s your answer. ‘Cause we hadn’t come around yet,” the little cynic shrugs.

“Oh, shut up, you,” the jester playfully retorts.

“What does it even say?”

“How’s about we find out for ourselves, bud?”

As the investigator lowers himself to read, the bystander, still a few paces back from everything, notices a glyph that makes the distance close in the blink of an eye.

“WAIT, HOLY SHIT, IS THAT ENGLISH?”

“Woah, now that you mention it, you’re right! Heh, you and your vintage nerd shit! Good eye, bro!” He offers a fist bump, but the once-dismissive youth is now too absorbed to notice.

“This must be from before the New Age! Give me a minute, I can probably read this, if all this rust’ll let me.”

In a rare show of excitement, the boy leans in a bit closer, just close enough to barely - yet unmistakably - make out the first two lines.

THIS PLACE IS NOT A PLACE OF HONOR.

ngl fuck watcher, shane married a jew and has been awfully quiet about the genocide on Palestine. and since he's ryan's best friend ryan's quiet now too when he was NOT quiet about the blm and stop asian hate movement before.

i'm not gonna sit here and make excuses for them and defend their silence because yeah it is disappointing that they haven't used their platforms to bring more awareness and attention to the ongoing genocide.

ultimately it's your choice whether or not you continue to support them. i don't believe there's some agreed upon silence pact among watcher like you're suggesting. i don't see any of them being the kind of people to ask their friends not to speak on an issue because of what they may or may not personally believe.

#and yeah i know my perception of them and what kind of people they are means nothing because i don't know them but that's just what i think. #can i also caution you to make sure your antizionism doesnt veer into antisemitism bc there's an energy here... #idk 'shane married a jew' and putting sara at the center of them not speaking out feels like a dangerous place to be. #not an accusation just something that jumped out at me w the phrasing is all. #anon #💌 #ahtw #theres also a longer ask about this in my inbox and i'll get to that when i can give it the same amount of thought and attention that was #put into sending it.

Absolutely should have made Goto into a long-term villain he had the potential.

#solo leveling #goto ryuji #and im talking about how he could gain a lot of envy from not only his fight with jinwoo but also being able to bearly #survive against the ant king #so when Japan's S rank gate pops up and the architect needs to hide in a new place until the other monarchs are here. #bam new villain who gets the power of the monarch of beggining and also looses more morality than jinwoo entirely. #whereas the monarch of beggining also begin to take center stage as a more dangerous threat. now that he has seen jinwoo up #personally from all the infromation goto has about him #*waves hands* its there. the architect could also try to find a new player/vessel so as to not die entirely by the hands of jinwoo. and end #up secretly helping another monarch out. #*waves hands again* the potential!

my anxiety is unbelievably fucking bad rn. i am so scared

#purrs #delete later #ask to tag #(​putting slashes thru things so that they don’t show up in search btw) #i have no right to be scared bc im not there. but im so scared for the people of ga/za. and i am so scared that… idk. it’s completely my #fault bc i go looking for these kinds of things on purpose to hurt myself. but i doomscrolled last night about ww/3 and the possibility of #nu/clear war being fueled by is/rael’s ‘war’ on pale/stine and not only am i sick with fear about the people living directly in that region #but i am so fucking scared of the possibility of nu/clear war. or like. any war breaking out in the us. which i know is a ridiculous self #centered thought to have but my anxiety is out of fucking control rn and it has been getting worse throughout the week. i just don’t know #how to wrap my head around the violence of this week. and so few je/wish ppl i know irl are antizi/onist and ppl just expect me to be #supportive of is/rael jsut bc im je/wish and it makes me fucking FURIOUS not only because i resent these horrors being committed to innocent #people in the name of my own people but it is so extremely dangerous to conflate j/udaism with zi/onism. the consequences diasporic je/ws #are goi ng to face are of course nowhere near as central or all-consumingly violent as the people in gaz/a and i feel personally safe enough #as someone who (and i know this is kind of a terrible thing to say) passes very easily as a go/y (esp w a mask on) and has a g/oy last name #but i am so fucking terrified of the antise/mitism getting worse here and have been exposing myself to evidence of it even though it is #extremely destructive to my mental health. but also i deeply resent the rhetoric around ‘reach out to your j/ewish friends they’re suffering #rn’ because…. we are not a monolith nor are we the direct victims in this situation and it just feels so uncomfortable and centering to make #it an issue of silence etc etc when… there are innocent ppl in g/aza who are experiencing terror no human being should ever have to endure #and most of them are children and they are the people who will ‘pay’ most directly and immediately and severely for what happened a week ago #i just feel so fucking on edge from this entire situation and unable to do anything to help when the destruction is imminent and this #nightmare of a country is at the core of so much suffering in this world and it will take centuries to undo it all and in the meantime so #many innocent people are going to die and maybe the entire world will be destroyed by nu/clear war which we are basically begging for at #this point. it’s so hard to function in my personal life when i am keenly aware of what could be happening at any moment #i don’t know how to end this post. im just fucking scared and there’s nothing i can do

do y'ever think about how anthropologists of a distant future culture might find a nuclear waste site and read the messages on it and go "oh I recognize this from the digital fragments of memes we keep finding, this place must have been a really popular comedy venue"

#I don't want presents and I don't want to see family and I don't want to finish decorating the tree and I don't want to bake cookies #I just want to skip it. I want to go lie down. #but we bought a bunch of stuff for other people so we gotta go give it to them. so. #'oh my mental health's been a lot better this year than the last couple years! [notices this feeling] ... haha I'm in danger :)' #'better' here is extremely relative! I guess!! hahaaaa #also I'm stressed about covid and stressed about having to mask during FOUR meal-centered holiday celebrations with family who are Over It #also it's 50 and raining #sure was nice when Seasonal Depression Season had a big thing I liked in the middle of it. miss that. #I just want to lie down. #about me

Why killjoys use masks and their development

At first they served as one would expect, purely to hide the wearers identity. This was one of the main reasons why everyone wore them even when the war was still hidden behind the horizon and BL/Ind was barely grasping at it's power. After the war and after the city hid behind walls and locked it's citizens inside, masks were more about protecting the wearer's family than the person themselves, they confused the algorithms and when the computer can't recognize your face and match it with your identity in it's database it can't tie you to illegal activities which means you can protect your close ones even when you can't be with them personally, when you're outside scrambling to survive under the scorching sun while they're waiting for you at the diner table with already cold meal. At this point the masks were nothing fancy, any cloth, plain domino mask or old carnival mask did the job and that's what mattered.

With the zones becoming more and more toxic as a direct fallout of the war full head masks and helmets with filters and sun rays protection became widely popular. Plain gas mask was your best grab but motorcycle helmets were also good enough.

This was long before the outcasts even thought of calling themselves killjoys and the rebellion was still on the edge of it's birth but as it goes even masks and helmets had to become part of fashion and so crazy colourful designs representing the wearers personality and name became the heat. Perhaps that did quite a bit for messing with the computers as well but who cared the old days were too far gone to hang onto safety.

Only long after all this happened the belief that your soul can be tied to a physical object such like a mask arose in minds of the people lost in endless sand. Perhaps in the beginning The Phoenix Witch wasn't roaming the lonely dunes, perhaps she was born from the electric waves and unheard prayers, perhaps she was there all along but the teenage martyrs didn't need a god to cry out to but now she's the main point behind it all.

#idk if anyone ever talked about masks beyond the soul part so here's my bit of cyber security to throw into the rink #also I visited the Ars Electronica center where you can play with some face recognition algorithms #which was definitely the main motivation for me to finish this post even thought it's been in my drafts for over a month #to explain it quickly you draw a face and the three algorithms try to recognize it #while your aim is to draw a face we can recognize but the ai can't #and it's so fucking difficult the computer is so good at it it's scary #I got rid of two of them pretty quickly but I didn't manage to get rid of the last one no matter what #and even though I'm deeply fascinated as the huge nerd I am it is terrifying as well #such a shame I don't have photos of my drawing in the beginning and end because it was a wild ride #anyway i won't annoy you with my computer nerdiness #you can go try it out on your own it was fun #my posts #killjoys #ttlotfk #ttlofk #danger days

took a dangerous day trip 😱

#teresa talks #white girl in danger #spoiler warning for the rest of the tags #i do really appreciate the last half hour for those with no brain cells (me) #but also at the same time i think that most of it wouldve been best left to the audience to figure out themselves #not that i could ever get more than 50% of that myself #james jackson jr kills it tho #idk even in that last half hour mrj seems aware of the issues with the show #like when the self insert says maybe he made a mistake continuing the show after the battle or the election or #like the centering myself song is still in the show despite the song #i guess that messiness is intentional? #regardless it's a lot i got lost a bit sometimes #the lesbian song is hmm. what is the joke here? the existence of lesbians? #like when i went latoya and molly laughed through an entire verse #like exile in gayville is satirizing the nyc gay dating scene #but this kinda seemed just in there for shock value #no one puts lesbians in anything anymore? i guess yeah but i am not sure if this gag is helping #act 2 def a bit more of a hot mess than 1

As the Blind Channel concert in Nuremberg comes closer and I finally start researching the venue, I get anxious lmao

#first of all 800 people fit in there and i hope it's not that packed because i'm short and i hate when tall people won't let you through- #to the front or at least somewhere you can actually see the band ugh #and idk i don't really love the vibes from the photos i've seen because it looks like the rancid discos my ex classmates used to go to #it just doesn't have the cool rock club style like the paunchy cats where my last concert was #also it's in a city where i've only been to twice (and apparently one of the most dangerous cities in germany or at least bavaria) #the venue is outside the city center and i have to take a hotel room for that night but then how do i get there afterwards (taxi probably) #btw i really hope i won't be on my period then bc i don't wanna fight over two bathroom stalls with hundreds of other people #the fact that it's gonna be on a sunday and i have no idea how to kill the time before the show makes it even worse lol #why won't they play in lichtenfels even famous nwobhm bands come here tf #watch me going to the cats the week after the blind channel show and crying like 'home sweet home omg i missed this place' skhdksjs #this is why i'm hoarding tickets to basically every concert there bc it's the best venue in the state you can't change my mind #mel talks
