harry dubois would end death note in one episode. he'd be unkillable bc he has no fucking idea what his name is and then he'd go drink driving and accidentally run light over and the killings would mysteriously stop

Harry: Kim, what's following that kid?

Kim: ...

Harry: What?

Kim: What are you talking about?

Inland Empire [80%]

Looks like you're the only one who can see it.

Harry: The... bone monster?

Kim: The bone monster.

Harry: Yes. The bone monster.

rockergiirl

THE BONE MONSTER - As you approach it grins, watching you watching it.

THE BONE MONSTER'S KID - "Good morning officers."

YOU - Continue looking at the bone monster.

THE BONE MONSTER - It tilts its head to the side quizzically at you.

YOU - Tilt your head in response.

THE BONE MONSTER - It begins leering over you, grinning even harder.

THE BONE MONSTER'S KID - The kid turns towards you.

PERCEPTION [LEGENDARY: SUCCESS] - For a moment he looked at the bone monster, and then to you.

THE BONE MONSTER'S KID - "Is there a problem, officers?"

KIM - "You will have to forgive my partner, he has quite an active imagination."

THE BONE MONSTER - "You hear that? I'm just a part of your imagination."

INLAND EMPIRE - I don't think he's a part of your imagination.

This man... He can see Ryuk? But how? The only explanation is that he touched my Death Note, but I've had it with me all day! Did he sneak into my room last night while I was asleep? But, all my security measures were intact... And he seems confused, is he putting on an act? Let me see if I can...

"Pardon me officer, I don't think I caught your name?"

"Uh, well that's the thing, I, uh, don't actually remember it at the moment."

Damn him! He knows I need a name to kill, and now he's taunting me! He can see Ryuk, too, so one wrong move could end me! I might have to make the eye deal at this point...

---------------------------------

LOGIC [Medium, failure]: This bone monster is obviously Kira. You are fucked.

Try to make Kim see the bone monster. [Suggestion, Legendary]

Attempt to arrest the bone monster.

Put yourself between the bone monster and Light.

Ask Light for some money.

Try to play it off as a joke and leave quickly. [Composure, Formidable]

transcyberism

> Attempt to arrest the bone monster

PERCEPTION [EASY: FAILURE] - You can't tell what gender it is.

YOU - "Excuse me, sir-- or, uh, madam?-- Bone... person..."

THE BONE MONSTER - It laughs, a deep, gutteral sound, like air escaping from the lungs of a corpse. As its jaw moves, you can see rows upon rows of sharp teeth inside its gaping maw.

COMPOSURE [CHALLENGING: SUCCESS] - You stand your ground and manage not to freak out.

YOU - "I'm afraid I'm going to have to ask you to come down to the police station. You... uh, match the description of a suspect... I think."

THE BONE MONSTER - It lets out a loud, phlegmatic belly laugh. "What are you going to do, arrest me?"

AUTHORITY - Damn right you are. Cuff him.

YOU - "Yes, as a matter of fact, I will. You are under arrest on suspicion of being Kira. Put your hands forward, wrists together."

KIM - "How exactly are you going to handcuff a hallucination, Detective?"

THE BONE MONSTER - It laughs again, like this is the funniest thing in the world, before obediently sticking out its arms.

THE BONE MONSTER'S KID - His eyes go wide and his face goes pale as you place the cuffs on the monster's wrists, before his gaze darts to Kim.

KIM - He is staring at the cuffs. He looks bewildered. "Are those handcuffs... floating?"

-----------------------------------

Shit! Ryuk, why did you have to comply?! Is this a game to you? No matter... They still don't realize that I'm Kira, not Ryuk. All I have to do is stay calm and act surprised. I'm sure Ryuk can just escape later, once he gets bored. And this other cop obviously can't see him, so it seems it's only the first one who has touched a Death Note... I just need to make it seem that he's the only one who can see Shinigami. Then I'll seem innocent, and he'll be the suspicious one!

"How did you do that? Is it some kind of magic trick?"

--------------------------------------

SHIVERS [Heroic, Success]: As intimidating as it looks, the bone monster isn't the real threat.

Deduce who the real Kira is [Logic, Godly]

Ask Light what he knows about the bone monster.

Tell Kim I-told-you-so.

Convince Light you are a sorcerer [Drama, Impossible]

Ask Light if he has any cigarettes.

I don't know shit about Harry's universe but I wanna see where this is gonna go. I vote cigarettes next.

i do think theres something sad about how largely only the literature that's considered especially good or important is intentionally preserved. i want to read stuff that ancient people thought sucked enormous balls

literaryreference

Time to take this post entirely too seriously:

I often wonder if this is why you so commonly see the sentiment that we are in an era of uniquely bad literature, or at least that the fact that most books don't have artistic aspirations and are not aiming to be anything other than mindless entertainment is new. In fact what's new is the idea that everything is worth preserving (and also the internet making it easier to preserve it). The dumb artistically unambitious trash books of the past have survived only sporadically, because people thought of them as literally disposable.

When I was in college I had a professor who was an expert on detective fiction. He had a longstanding beef with the idea that "Murders in the Rue Morgue" was the first detective story. He thought that it seemed way too polished to be inventing a new genre, and also that the whole orangutan business had the vibe of someone subverting preexisting audience expectations and maybe engaging in a bit of stealth parody. With the help of some student volunteers, he went trawling through old magazines and newspapers and found hundreds of detective stories from the early 1800s that just hadn't garnered enough individual attention to be remembered. This was because most of them sucked balls. He created an online archive of them, so you too can read these mostly terrible stories.

I've spent a ridiculous amount of time on Project Gutenberg sifting through forgotten old fiction and lemme tell ya. a lot of that stuff sucks ass.

*trying to pitch public transportation to Americans* it’s like a legal form of texting while driving

vodkassassin

So, the thing is this: it isn’t the americans who you need to convince. We WANT easily accessible public transport, and we have the entire time.

It’s the corporations. You know, the ones that make bank off how dependent the entire country is on their overpriced cars and gas.

The very same corporations who bankroll their pick of government representatives that they keep in their pocket. You know, the ones that make decisions on laws and regulations and everything.

Laws of the sort that could improve the quality of life for all of us if only they would push for reform of the country’s transportation systems.

Which they will never do, because the corporations that own them and their votes wouldn’t make as much money off an America that has good public transportation systems.

So yeah. Join the club of wanting us to have better public transit. But you’ll have to get in line behind us, because we were here first.

evangeliamerryll

People’s refusal to even glance at let alone truly understand the history behind why America’s public transportation is so poor is baffling. Many, many, many years ago, for example, the rail system was booming. By 1916, 98% of long distance trips were taken by train. So much so that monopolies began. So that led to the government creating what’s now known as AMTRAK. 20 of 26 train systems with intercity service joined and were relieved of their obligation to provide said service.

And guess what happened next? Ford made the model T so affordable that by 1929, there were 23 million automobiles on the roads.

So then guess what happened? Automobile (mainly GM), tire, truck, petrol, and oil companies got together to gain control of the mainly electric public transit in major cities, which they then tore out. They put busses into play instead— because they benefited from and monopolized the sales of them. (To be fair, the streetcar systems were far from perfect. But there was clearly an over eagerness to remove them.) In 1949 they all got in trouble, if you can call it that. For example the treasurer of GM was fined $1. Sure, the GM busses were in service for decades, but at the cost of the railway system, and at the gain of the diesel industry.

Let me make myself clear— they were pushing out railroads and electrical street cars to push for cars and busses powered by gasoline and diesel.

In 1956, a bill was signed that authorized 25 billion dollars for the construction of 41,000 miles of highway paid for (on the federal side) by taxes on gasoline and diesel. Aka- More pushing for cars funded by gasoline giants.

Then there’s the entire deal of the government funded home loans favoring car-dependent suburban neighborhoods over inner city public-transit dependent neighborhoods, further pushing people towards needing cars.

All this to say— the American government and the fuel and automotive industries are in bed together and have been for decades.

The American people have very evidently always wanted public transportation— it’s simply been ripped away from us. So it’s incredibly insulting to so many of us when people who won’t even look at the context, tell us we are lazy and car dependent by choice.
