As an Asian, am disappointed no Asian pope was picked. However, I’m giggling that the conclave chose an American who CRITICIZED Vance.
Lmao he has dual citizenship with Peru. MAGA and Trump are in for a rude awakening!
What can the orange do? Deport this pope?
My Peace
Move—ignore the phone.
Prioritize. Check deadlines!
Work, and then go gym.
Relax later; evening’s mine.
Who dares rob me of my peace?
The devs killed off Doey bc they knew Doey was OP enough to kick the Prototype’s ass
Okay, has anyone ever tried explaining to a friend of yours (who is interested in you) that you are aroace and it terribly backfires?
Instead of them backing away, that little shit starts thinking, “Hehehe. They’re playing hard to get!” And then suddenly becomes closer as if they believe you were just capping the entire time.
Is this an aroace cannon event? Or is it just me?
Tbh, even though the CEO and other Mob members gushed abt how Chap 4 will be the best one yet, I was alrdy skeptical. Tbh, I found it concerning that we needed an ARG to fully understand what’s going on with the Poppy Playtime lore. The ARG itself was fun—although it’s bad news if the story isn’t self-contained within a specific medium, imo. Especially for casual players.
And the constant promotional materials! Am always suspicious about too much advertising.
They hyped up Chapter 4 too much to the point most of us are feeling disappointed the chapter itself didn’t match the hype. Maybe, most of us would’ve been forgiving if we weren’t bombarded with all the promotional material.
Never expected to see toxic yaoi in Squid Games, but I am not complaining.
🙏🏻
I NEED MORE
I love how the people are driving the masked manager crazy. Frfr I can sense how done he was with the cast during ep 3
As someone whose country’s been colonised by 2+ countries, I find it accurate that Piltover didn’t really do that much reflection about how they screwed Zaun over. A lot
The Living Dead
I am the living dead, waiting for my coffin
I have befriended Death, for it is my friend
This world is my foe, hoping to drown me in
Its senseless pleasures, pains, and evils with no end
I do not wait for my time to run its sad course,
Because Death is a jealous friend with greedy hands,
While Life is my enemy, whispering its curses,
And frauds, idiots, and monsters rule Earth’s own lands
The future promises a distant paradise,
One I will not live to see in its fruition
Yet that hope gives me strength to fight the world’s great lies,
To continue pursuing my fatal mission
Perhaps, soon, I’ll no longer be the living dead,
My own corpse six feet under, in an unmarked grave
But tomorrow’s promise is stronger than my dread
With death beside me, I’ll continue being brave
Gone are the days where books were well-beloved. Reading comprehension has been at an absolute low, where students cannot read through a single book. All the ideas presented by authors will slowly be lost to time, as no one except a few will read. Even with these, it’s difficult to properly read given how fast-paced our world is.
School is no longer a center for learning. Students who actually wish to learn are punished for their curiosity. They are seen as outcasts, nerds, weirdos, etc.
Children are exposed to screens at a young age. They see bright, nauseating neon colors daily, fingers and eyes moving. Patience is a virtue growing rarer and rarer, and along with it cognitive function.
Corporations grow bigger. Prices go higher. Salaries remain the same, for decades. And more decades. Each generation cannot afford what their predecessors could.
Art is an empty husk, no longer filled with meaning. It is beauty with no soul. It is a flower vase with no flower inside. It is a masterpiece created by reluctant artists, whose main goal is to survive.
Oppression persists, growing in strength. Politicians become stronger, no longer needing to sound intelligent. The crowds absorb their words without a second thought, as if under a spell.
Mother Nature is getting sicker day by day. Yet everyone continues on with their lives as if the day isn’t getting hotter. As if CO2 isn’t steadily climbing. As if the plastic in the ocean mysteriously disappeared. As if Nature will fix our shit, when it is the one dying.
We all look at these horrors, wondering if we are the ones insane instead. Isn’t it easier to stop thinking about these?
Maybe we are looking for someone. The next Martin Luther King. The next Tesla or Einstein. The next Mandela. The next Shakespeare. The next da Vinci. Regardless, we are looking for a saviour. Someone to take the fall for society’s cruelty.
Perhaps the worst thing of all is that WE have no choice but to be the ones who act.
I feel like Poseidon would just let Odysseus go out of spite.
“Do you really fucking think you can threaten me?” —Poseidon to Odysseus maybe.
& Maybe, thru this, Poseidon gets the last laugh. Because no matter what Odysseus can even do in the future, he’ll never get true vengeance against Poseidon. After all, a recurring theme in Greek mythology is basically gods acting like assholes & getting away w/it
Love how everyone immediately started calling CC Dave/David after Hyperdroid’s theory dropped
My sheer disappointment in not seeing Wolverine/Deadpool fics increase exponentially has led to me staring at my laptop and refreshing the page every minute or so
Barely a few minutes of ao3 being down for maintenance, and I’m dying lmao q_q
Just playing “Hurricane” while it’s raining so hard outside i can’t see shit lmao
The Student’s Lament
Here I am, in my room, looking out the window
The mountains are a dark smear, yet lights are twinkling,
Beauty so far, creating a starry meadow,
Yet I’m still stuck here, with all my thoughts swirling
My laptop is open, and so are my notebooks
I’ve got too much deadlines, and very little time
So I’ll study and study, yearning for my books
But I still look outside, staring at those lights
Laughter comes drifting near, so bright, and so. Carefree
So I start pondering if I made that sound once,
Rather than my sighing, filled with all my misery
That kind of laughter’s just memories, long, long gone
Here I am, hunched over my desk with all my notes,
No longer reading them—Rather, I’m just staring,
My jumbled thoughts just running in different roads,
While I’m here, sitting down, stuck with all my musing
When you spend multiple hours choosing a character name rather than actually writing:
Unnatural Nature
Gray replaces blue,
Smoke is the new oxygen,
While buildings stand tall
The Midterm
The room’s deathly still,
Save for the scribbling of pens,
And students sighing
Siblings

Lmao, probably post-canon Hunter would go to Darius to check if his outfit isn’t an eyesore whenever he goes on a date with Willow. Each outfit he has would either be straight up cosplay, streetlight colors, punk in a way that isn’t punk, too stiff, or too boring.
Darius would snark about it and spend 1+ hours finding the right outfit for Hunter. Then give him pointers on how to not become a tomato during the date. He’d never complain though, feeling happy Hunter would feel comfortable enough asking him for any sort of help.
(“Dear Titan, he chose to wear a neon polka dot suit. The color scheme didn’t work. At all.”—Darius to Eberwolf over a glass of the Boiling Isles’s version of wine)
Now, if some dude claimed he's from the 1600s and just eradicated all witchkind and demonkind from the "Demon Realm," ofc I'd think he's crazy. But, thinking back to that episode with Vee and Jacob Hopkins, I don't Belos being cuckoo would be unanimous in everyone's head.
Yup, he's a crusty dusty creepy freak, although let's say he honors the deal with Luz and spares the squad. He goes through the portal, drags Hunter and co. kicking and screaming, with Luz beside him.
Gravesfield is a small place, so Belos goes around proclaiming that he saved humanity, and here, he brought proof.
They're teenagers, so why would Belos say they're pure evil? That should be the thought going through every human, right?
Right?
It comes down, I think, to the fact these teenage witches are seemingly overpowered. This time, most people wouldn't think like Belos did, focusing on religion only.
Consider how Willow COULD (but ofc wouldn't) strangle someone with a house plant. Consider how Gus can theoretically sneak in anywhere, fooling security cameras. Consider how Amity can use abomination goo, or in the human realm, mud or earth. Consider how Hunter is a child soldier who can probably kill a person. Consider how Vee can copy people, which she did with Luz.
That's scary.
To top it all off, they have Palismen. They're not guns, but some people in this theoretical scenario might argue they're somewhat the same. Palismen can fire spells, both offensive and defensive.
(Some might say they're vehicles, since Palismen can carry their witches "everywhere." Since Dana said the BI is as large as Vermont, then in this case the Palismen could do what airplanes couldn't: fast and efficient travel. Lawyers would scream it's a violation of aviation laws.)
No teenager should have this power. Right? In the BI this is normal. YET in the Human Realm this is not the case. Witches and demons, then, would be considered a security risk in all countries. Heck, world leaders might thank Belos for getting rid of most of these..."risks."
(I believe, too, prominent world leaders would want...very, very deadly tools. Willow, Hunter, Gus, Amity, Vee--they all fit the bill. Five teenagers with no laws protecting them. )
There would be a faction of people who don't give a shit about security, instead wanting to learn about the Boiling Isles and its inhabitants more. Yet, in this scenario, they might "dehumanize" witches and demons, viewing them as a sort of species they want to learn more about. Historically, there were HUMAN ZOOS. Wtf, yeah? How can humans do that to another?
Now *coughs*, back to religion. I won't be specific about which religions, but some I read about actively denounce witchcraft. Given the human idea of witchcraft, would the BI's "witchcraft" count as the same thing? It depends on how a religion defines witchcraft, but I'm certain most would say nay to magic in general. So, there's another bunch of people who are going to be glad Belos did what he did.
Buuut, there is a silver lining, I suppose. I'll use Caleb as reference, even though he barely had a minute of screen time. During the memory portrait with Caleb and Evelyn, he's either looking on with apprehension or fascination in regards to the Demon Realm. Given he was once a witch hunter and fell in love with a witch, it does show time would do wonders to acceptance.
So, yeah. Time is key.
In short: humans would be shit scared of witches, but they could change their minds about witch and demon kind. Probably they'd cancel Belos. Arrest him. Or whatever works.
Yet, again, as others in this fandom pointed out, Belos is terrifying because he's realistic. So, there would be a lot of similar people who'd share Belos's sentiments either due to prejudice, fear, or religion.
This is purely a "what-if" scenario, apologies for this ramble XD
Anywhoo, how's everyone doing so far? I hope y'all are doing great, I swear I'm overwhelmed by projects right now XD
The City
Gray skies, tall buildings,
Noisy silence somehow dull,
The lights bright yet dark
When you ship Elibarra and your teacher swears Elias is a really “good” friend:
The moon shines calmly,
Amidst the darkness and stars,
A reflecting thief
She Is
She’s crying from hurt because of you, eyes swollen,
You tell her it ain’t right to play with Barbie dolls,
My goodness, look at how far the world has fallen,
And see how your words hit her and took its big toll
She is hiding herself when you come to the room,
She stashes her dresses in the lonely closet,
‘Cause the moment you came, it entailed certain gloom,
And you hated how she continued to crochet
She is begging faceless people for help, hopeless,
And they can do nothing but tell her to just wait
And to walk around and pretend she has no dress,
But their well-meaning but hurtful words came too late
By day, she is gone, by the tree, dead eyes colder,
Her final thoughts unveiled through angry words online,
And so you now feel the public’s righteous anger,
Forever cursed to think of who caused her to die
Burning
The sun always smiles,
Giving light to those below,
While burning them all
The Sea
There resides the sea,
With frothing insanity,
Beckoning sailors
