There are moments in the dead of night when I can't sleep, and I wonder if I will ever be able to truly rest again until I know that Eleanor Guthrie has paid for what she took from me. And then there are other moments when I wonder if it would actually please him to see her dead, to know the scales had been evened. Or if despite all they had been through, despite the anger and the blood and the betrayal and all he'd done to her and she to him, despite what I or you or what anybody else might think of it, if wherever he was, he still didn't just a little bit love her.

Hello anon! Thank you for the boop :)
Did you know that in ancient times that bogs were often used as a burial place for the dead? They have amazing preservation of the bodies that were buried in the peat and a lot of very interesting things have been learned and discovered about the peoples who lived in these places because of it
Just don’t ever look at the pictures of the bog bodies anon. Don’t do it. It’s not worth it.

Alright so I’ve wanted to say this for awhile and it is actually my primary reason for creating this account lol. Just to clarify first though, I love horror, and more importantly I love unrealistic horror so please take everything I say with a grain of salt and do not think I’m trying to tell anyone how to write as that is not the case, I simply am really interested in this kinda thing and believe in the sharing of knowledge.
Anyways,
Embalmed bodies don’t really rot.
Embalming is the preservation of the body by replacing the blood with embalming solution and some formaldehyde, it makes the body a unfavourable food or nutrient source for any kind of bug or microorganisms which would cause decomposition.
If someone in your story is dead and you want them to be a rotting corpse then most realistically they’d have had a direct burial since embalmed body’s arnt supposed to decompose and typically if there was an open casket an embalming would have had to have taken place.
Again this does not mean you have to change your story or how you write in anyway at all, just wanted to share the reality for anyone interested.

Please stop scrolling and give me a minute of your time
This is Conner Ostricki. He was a classmate of mine. He unfortunately was a passenger in a car that got hit by a semi truck. He didn’t make it.
He was only 16 years old and he was a great person with a kind soul. His mother is trying to raise money to afford a proper burial for him.
Please donate if you can. Even if it’s just 1 dollar.

In August, the state became only the second, behind Washington, to legalize natural organic reduction, aka “body composting,” which in the span of about four months turns a human body into rich black soil. In 2019, Colorado also became one of the first to offer water cremation, which proponents say uses about one-tenth the energy of a conventional cremation and emits fewer pollutants.
Meanwhile, the state’s first “conservation burial ground,” the Colorado Burial Preserve, opened last year in the foothills of Florence, enabling families to bury their loved ones in a simple biodegradable shroud — no embalming fluids, steel caskets, vaults or lawn-mowing allowed. Families, if they so wish, are invited to close the grave themselves, the collective shoveling serving as a powerful act of closure.
And in the small mountain town of Crestone, about a half-dozen individuals are laid to rest each year at the nation’s only public, open-air cremation pyre.

I've been experiencing severe health complications since I was very young. As such the matter of mortality has always been very close to my heart. My abysmal health has kept me from a lot of things in life but this relationship with death has been a strange gift amidst that personal hardship. It has given me perspective on a lot of different things and I know it has also made me a kinder person to others. Every living thing is born into the world without consent and nothing seeks to suffer or to die, I think we need to remember that. As for this poem in particular it was inspired by a conversation I had with my mother. It's a topic that has come up for practicality reasons as there's a chance she may outlive me and so may have some say over the matter of my burial.
I had told her that I didn't want to be embalmed or cremated. I'd prefer to have what's referred to as a 'natural' burial. It's better for the environment and I like the idea of returning to the earth in this way. Sadly she said that she wouldn't be comfortable with that and I would be dead anyway so what does it matter if they cremate me? Hence the poem haha. Hopefully, it speaks to someone else having trouble ensuring their ideal burial.

I cannot stop thinking about Wei Wuxian and how. like. blatantly suicidal he is when Wen Chao throws him into the Burial Mounds. We really truly do not talk about this enough.
Wei Wuxian talks about how losing his golden core breaks Jiang Cheng, because JC sees himself as having nothing to live for but rebuilding his clan and getting revenge against the Wens, and so without the power to do that, his life is nothing. It's not worth living. But the thing is, Wei Wuxian feels the exact same way after the transfer. He directly thinks, when Wen Chao threatens to kill him, that dying "won't be any worse than living." A life without power is not better than death to him, because he can never again seek to do anything meaningful or great. He is nearly as torn apart by the loss of his core as Jiang Cheng was.
Then the Wens show up, and in his desperation for the power to enact revenge, Wei Wuxian welcomes his own death with open arms. He thinks of the fact that he might come back as a ferocious ghost to enact his revenge, and he feels "an unparalleled thrill," because nothing matters to him anymore but somehow regaining the ability to enact violence against Wen Zhuliu, Wang Lingjiao, and Wen Chao, even if it means his own death.
And I know that it's different in different adaptations, but in the book, Wei Wuxian has never actually controlled/harnessed resentful energy before he's tossed into the Burial Mounds. He's interested in learning, and he might have some ideas on how to try, but I think the fact he learns when he does is important. He needs the Burial Mounds' surplus of resentful energy, and he needs desperation as the impetus to try demonic cultivation in the first place, but beyond that, I think the suicidal fury of his mindset when he's thrown down by Wen Chao is absolutely vital.
The Wei Wuxian that's tossed into the Burial Mounds wants to die, and he's purposely filling himself up with as much hatred and resentment as possible. He actively wants to become a fierce ghost. And I'd argue that it's this state of mind, this empathy and parallel to the bodies and monsters around him, that enables him to unlock the secret of demonic cultivation.
Who better to learn to understand the undead than a man that's already halfway to becoming one?

Imagine being the one who assisted the birth of Thranduil's elk, who trained him and gave him as a gift to the King, but also being the one who has to help Thranduil bury him.

this is perhaps morbid but i love talking about death plans/learning about what options are available to people after their deaths. death and funerals can be incredibly expensive and i think one of the best things you can do for yourself (to ensure your wishes are taken into account) and for your loved ones (to help ease the struggle for them as they are grieving) is to have a formal death plan/legal will.
this is especially important for those of us who are queer/trans, particularly those who may have next of kin who would not respect their name/gender identity in death (i.e. deadnaming on gravestone, burying in clothing of your agab, etc.) without being legally required to do so.
i wont talk about my death plan here (idk if it would skew results but just in case) but when i texted my mom a few months ago to notify her of the plans i was setting into motion (i wanted her to be aware just in case of the off chance that i die before she or my dad do) and she was shocked that i had a plan at all, and told me that she and my dad don’t have one, which was concerning, tbh, since they are older than most parents of people my age.
a lot of people naturally don’t like to think or talk about death but it’s such an important and personal thing. i can’t and won’t force my parents to talk about it until they’re ready, but i hope this inspires you to give it some thought if you haven’t already!
oh also pls reblog the poll if you feel so inclined so as to increase the sample size!
