Profiles have been made it's #joever for me

(Context: In this AU, mortals find out about magic in like 2019, but before anyone can get their pick axe the UN and the sanctuaries make a peace treaty or whatever and now everything is kumbaya but to keep the kumbaya the dead men lowkey become a PR prop (mainly pushed by the American sanctuaries) to show that sorcerers can be good. Hope this makes sense. This is all SEVERELY self indulgent🥹)

(Profile context: Fletcher and Valkyrie were in charge of making everyone's profile, except for Taniths. Only like two of them are active and Skul hasn't noticed how they made his profile picture. Omfg why was it so hard finding pictures that match them on Pinterest💔💔)

he is literally all i think about every song reminds me of him everything i do i relate to him and he’s most of what i talk about

any time someone mentions him i get so so excited i want to explode

tiktok mutuals who see my stories will know

BATTLE OF THE DISCIPLINES

that’s right, baby, it’s time for another event! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

this time, we’re figuring out what the best discipline in the skulduggery pleasant universe is. is it throwing fire — like skulduggery —, walking on walls — like tanith —, or “knowing things” — like saracen rue? 🔥 ⚔️ 🤫

it’s up to YOU to decide!

like always, votes will last 24 hours a piece ⏰, and will be tallied up across our socials (discord, tumblr, & instagram) 🗳️

first up: it’s 💥 ENERGY THROWER against SHUNTER 🫥

so what will it be: dexter vex’s ability to throw beams of harmful energy, or silas nidar’s knack for shifting through dimensions?

*for now, we are using official art for our character examples, but if you have character art you’d like us to use instead, please do send it to me! we love showing off the fandom’s work 🎨

Have we considered that Ianto's shrine may have been load bearing?

[weirdly-specific-but-ok]

yes, India made legal gender change impossible but the doctor down the street who gives me my T shots in a clinic so small that it's just two rooms was excited for me when she said my voice had dropped yes, India made legal gender change impossible but the receptionist who could see that I was a man didn't bat an eyelash when I asked to see the gynecologist and called me sir when he asked how I wanted to pay yes, India made legal gender change impossible but the barber cuts my hair exactly how I want it and never gave me strange looks for being in a men's salon not even back when I didn't pass as one

yes, India made legal gender change impossible but my friends have always gendered me correctly and stick to it even when it confuses other people and my friend's little sibling calls me older brother in Kannada yes, India made legal gender change impossible but my dog learned my new name quicker than the humans and she runs to give me a kiss when she's told to without being confused about who's being referred to

yes, India made legal gender change impossible but I can feel the Adam's apple growing in my throat and my muscles getting stronger, and my smile more real and I'm growing a beard, and I talk more freely

yes, India made legal gender change impossible but I'm here, and I'm alive, and so are you and there are good people, people who care and don't let them make you forget that-- you are not alone.

it’s a beautiful day to check out a book from the library

[hackedhearts-deactivated2024111]

“Tell me your favorite weird fact.”

The Earth is covered in corpses. We breathe the air the dead exude, eat the food they nourished with their decay, pour their remains into our cars, wear them and sleep on them. And then we call them scary without even noticing that they are present in every single thing of our lives. We live because of the dead.
