You are a villain famous for ākillingā heroes. In reality, heroes come to you to fake their deaths.
Sometimes they try to pay you.
You are posted out by the Hollywood sign tonight, sitting under the frame where the W used to be. It got burnt to a crisp during last weekās big superhero fight. A hero died right where youāre sitting. The whole areaās been closed down until Hero Force can coordinate a recovery effort. Usually itād be done by now but no oneās willing to touch it until the ash has been completely blown away.
Itās a rule that the world must stand still when a hero dies.
āHow much?ā
The voice comes from behind you. The lights that illuminate the Hollywood sign are down to hide as much of the scorch marks as possible. You wouldnāt be able to see anything even if you did turn around, so you donāt.
You put some chapstick on, the glide of the balm against your wind chapped lips grounding.
āI said,ā the Hero says, voice tightening, āHow. Much.ā
Thereās the sound of gravel crunching now. Theyāre wearing heavy boots and the scent of fresh blood grows stronger the closer they get. Their breathing is smooth and even which means itās not their blood.
You put the cap back on your chapstick and tuck it into your leather jacketās inner pocket. āI donāt take money.ā
āThen what do you take?ā The Hero rounds the Y and comes into your line of sight. The dark hides most of their features, but you can make out a glittering gold mask and the dull shine of drying blood on their chest plate. Their breathing may be even, but their stance isnāt. They sway in place, back and forth, back and forth. Their arms wrap around their stomach. āIāve got land. A house. You can have it.ā

random PSA, I know a lot of people use duckduckgo as a Google alternative search engine, but it always kind of annoyed me when I was using it because it felt like No Name Brand Google
I have switched to using Startpage.com and vastly prefer it. for one thing, instead of displaying an "AI summary" at the top of the search results (unless you turn it off, yes I know), it displays the first paragraph of the Wikipedia article, with link, whenever it finds one that's relevant.
also a waaayyyyy better sense of design than duckduckgo
also private, European based, least annoying search I've used lately (RIP old "don't be evil" Google)
Keeping a list of Google alternatives just in caseā¦
i have one of those, scraped from multiple different rec posts:
Search Engines
Infinity Search is an alternative search engine with a special focus on privacy
DuckDuckGo is a popular search engine for those who value their privacy and are put off by the thought of their every query being tracked and logged. Uses bangs, ![site] for in-page search (sells your data to microsoft and draws from fucking bing)
WolframAlpha is a privately owned search engine that allows you to ācompute expert-level answers using Wolframās breakthrough algorithms, knowledgebase, and AI technology.ā A data search engine.
Boardreader is a search engine for forums and message boards. It allows you to search forums and then filter down results by date and language.
Based in France, Qwant is a privacy-based search engine that wonāt record your searches or use your personal details for advertising. Uses ā&ā as a bang search.
Another privacy-based search engine is Search Encrypt, which uses local encryption to ensure that usersā identifiable information cannot be tracked. Metasearch across multiple engines.Ā
Offering unbiased results from several sources, SearX is a metasearch engine that aims to present a free, decentralized view of the internet. Can be self-hosted.Ā
Gibiruās tagline is āUnfiltered private searchā and thatās exactly what it offers. Requires AnonymoX Firefox add-on for privacy.Ā
Disconnect allows you to conduct anonymous searches through a search engine of your choice.
Swisscows provides fully encrypted searches to protect your privacy and security. Built-in violence/porn filter cannot be overridden.Ā
MetaGer offers āPrivacy Protected Search & Findā through its anonymised search. A plugin will allow it to be made a default.
Gigablast is a private search engine that indexes millions of websites and servers real-time information without tracking your data, keeping you hidden from marketers and spammers. Variety of filtration and refinement options for searching.Ā

https://search.marginalia.nu/ an independent DIY search engine that focuses on non-commercial content, and attempts to show you sites you perhaps weren't aware of in favor of the sort of sites you probably already knew existed. Use old-school searching rather than query-based for the best results.Ā
https://www.mojeek.com/Ā
https://wiby.me/ - Itās goal is to index as many personalized websites as possible, and NOT commercial sites.Ā
https://4get.ca/ it works a lot like SearX, but honestly better. It doesnāt have its own index, but pulls from many others. I think itās the best for research, since it allows you to search for answers from different indexes, is easy to configure, add free, and avoids censorship as much as it can.

Hello Scum Enjoyers
I recently found some fun reference photos that i wanted to use.
As you may be familiar with "Kiss Challenge" I figured I could make a spinoff of it. "Captive Challenge" loosely speaking I suppose. I am leaving you with thumbnails
1. Fist: Make a fist around the epi-pen, donāt place your thumb/fingers over either end
2. Flick the blue cap off
3. Fire. Press down into the outer thigh (the big muscle in there), hold for 10 seconds before removing (the orange cap will cover the needle). Bare skin is best but the epi-pen will go through clothing. Avoid pockets and seams.Ā
- Ring an ambulance even if everything seems to be fine!
Oh my god. So as someone who has to carry an epipen EVERYWHERE I am so happy to see that thereās an info post about them. Like in the extreme case that I canāt inject myself, somebody else would have to do it, but nobody knows how to do it! Thank you, this may just save my life some day.
Donāt be wimpy about it, either. I know friends who are like,Ā ābut idk if I could stab you with a needle!ā Please stab me with the needle, donāt be hesitant about it.
In my case (I canāt speak for all allergies), an epi buys me 20 minutes of breathing to get to the hospital. It is not a magic bullet, itās a few critical minutes to help get me where I need to go.
For those who donāt know, people with serious food allergies carry epinephrine which is an adrenaline shot just in case they have anaphylaxis, which is a life threatening allergic attack. This shot is life-saving and must be administered to someone who is having an anaphylactic attack as SOON AS POSSIBLE, because an extra waited minute could mean their life.
It doesnāt hurt much at all to use this needle. The first time I used mine, I didnāt even feel it. But be sure to stab it IN THE OUTER THIGH. Do not stick it anywhere else or you could seriously hurt or kill someone. Just right to the outside of the thigh and then call the ambulance - even if your friend starts doing better, they could have a biphasic reaction, meaning a reaction that comes back (or they may need a second dose, be on the look out). If your friend has an epipen, then they have an epipen trainer that doesnāt have a needle and you can try it out just to be sure you know how to use the real thing if you have to. Iād also advise holding it a few more seconds then 10, maybe go for 14 just to be sure all the medicine is administered and that you didnāt count too fast - thatās what I did.
Hereās a graphic of where to stick it:
THANK YOU FOR THE GRAPHIC I was about to ask because my mom carries one around and so do some of my friends and I wanted to make sure I would do it right if I ever needed to!
Learn about this or get a refresher, if youāre not already familiar.
āI donāt want to stab youā theyād be dead otherwise. Stab em.

insane like/reblog parity on this post btw
This is what hozier meant when he says he falls a little bit in love everyday with someone new
I once watched a girl in the produce aisle pick up a bushel of bananas that were precariously perched on the edge and move them farther back and under her breath she said āthere you go sweeties - that will be more comfortableā before shuffling off and⦠I think about her often.
« Silent lovers » is such a sweet way to put it.
I was driving on the highway and passed a dude absolutely JAMMING alone in his car, doing those little half dance moves you do when youāre stuck sitting down in a small space, bellowing unheard lyrics at the top of his lungs, and my instant reaction was to think āI love you.ā And then to pray he had a good day, or whatever, because those fleeting moments of connection are so incredible.
Was driving down the road from work on a really relly bad day and saw a young man whoād be deemed a āthugā based on his apparel walking on the sidewalk where city workers had recently blown a bunch of leaves into big ass piles (it was fall) the guy paused by one, tossed his hat to the side of the sidewalk, dropped his pack and fell into one like a big ol kid and just started playing. Iāll always remember that.

okay that was not my last straw but i have maybe 3 to 4 straws left at most so watch out.
i might have already talked about this before but itās actually crazy that jogging gets treated as a default āgetting into shape for the first timeā exercise ESPECIALLY if someoneās goal involves weight loss. people who are more than ~200lbs often need special gear and running techniques to avoid shin splints etc *even if all that weight is solid muscle*, and the likelihood of injury only goes up as strength to weight ratio decreases. someone whoās both heavy AND untrained is just going to be miserable for however long it takes their bones and connective tissue to adapt to the sudden increase in demand. usually this takes months, but it can take even longer under adverse conditions like, say, suddenly eating way less than normal. and all this for an activity that literally isnāt even fun unless you are a specific type of insane. there are so many low impact and actually enjoyable forms of cardio why are we slapshotting biomechanically disadvantaged novices into the david goggins torment dimension
could. could you maybe. list some of those 'low impact and enjoyable forms of cardio'? this is not sarcasm, this is a genuine request, every form of exercise I have tried recently has put me in the torment dimension. thank you and I love you
yeah sure! thereās a lot of good suggestions in the notes, iām probably missing a few
if you have access to a gym/appropriate facilities:
a LOT of people in the notes vouching for swimming, and it makes sense. not only is it basically zero impact on any of your joints, it engages just about every muscle in your body and itās actually easier to stay afloat the higher your bodyfat%
stationary bike/elliptical: works for some better than others, but definitely far lower impact than running, usually has adjustable difficulty, and you can watch youtube videos or play games on your phone to pass the time
non stationary bike: the benefits of a stationary bike plus the ability to travel to a location
weight lifting: if youāre a total beginner to exercise this genuinely might be a better place to start than any designated ācardioā activity, it Will get your heart rate up and build strength to do higher impact stuff with less risk, but designing a routine can feel overwhelming without help from a trainer/more experienced lifter
classes: yoga, pilates, dance, kickboxing, spin class, water aerobics, etc. as long as you can find one that accommodates your current fitness level and is a reasonably friendly environment
rowing: i actually know relatively little about rowing, but this has come up in the notes several times and people seem to like it. def seems like a good overall workout with little to no jarring impact
roller derby: definitely less of a Safe Beginner Activity and more āform of cardio you can do if you are on the fit side but still hate runningā but has come up in the notes multiple times specifically as a sport where a range of body types can do well
minimal equipment alternatives:
walking: if you have the resources to jog you have the resources to walk, and it really is a good form of exercise that also puts less strain on your joints
dance tutorials: seen a few people recommending these, thereās apparently a huge variety on youtube and you can take things at whatever pace works for you
yoga: also beginner friendly classes on youtube, good way to build up mobility and bodyweight strength
someone in the notes recommended hula hooping?? which actually sounds kind of genius especially if you donāt have a lot of gear or space. also iirc you can buy different weights of hula hoops for reasonably cheap so thereās a way to up the intensity over time
this seems like a decent resource at first glance and i think i saw more than one rec for them
one important thing to remember for anyone out there whoās significantly out of shape and feels overwhelmed is that when it comes to fitness you have one enormous advantage: it is currently EXTREMELY EASY for you to get exercise
do you 𫵠get winded walking up a flight of stairs? is curling a 5lb dumbbell 10 times difficult for you? can you barely do a single knee push-up? well i have great news: doing all of those things twice still probably takes less you less than 10 minutes. which means you can do a genuinely worthwhile daily workout in less than ten minutes. and itāll probably get easy fast, and then you can find a heavier dumbbell
Even if I didnāt have a solid plan, in the back of my head, I always assumed Iād kill myself.
Now Iām an adult and people my age have their lives in order and Iām stuck here, confused, because I never planned to be alive and Iām so far behind.
I feel like Iāll never catch up.
Hey all.
I want to make an addition to this. I made this post a long time ago.
Iām currently back in university, and Iāve made so much progress with my trauma. Iām in a loving relationship.
Things can and will get better. Itās not too late.
Nothing is perfect by any means. But Iām happy Iām still here and didnāt kill myself. I hope you get to that point, too š
The addition is important! I see the original post circulating a lot, but the addition is important!
New addition two years later. Iām still going strong!
Iām getting married. Iām still in that loving relationship.
Iāve learned that thereās no real timeline. Itās okay. And while it sucks that I lost time, thereās still so much for me to experience and enjoy.
Newest addition. 7 years after the original post!
I got married last month! My dog is laying on me snoring. Iāve learned to have healthy friendships and relationships. Iāve learned that Iām not alone and that even when things are hard, Iām going to be okay.
This showed up in my notes again. And here we are. 2026.
Iāve been married a little over two years. I just got home from friendships that feel like home and family. My husband and I have our own place. I have a full ass book ready to be published.
I donāt know. Iām still in a good place and I canāt believe how far Iāve come from my original post.
REBLOG IF YOU HAVE STRETCHMARKS
This way people can see theyāre not alone. I have them and this would help me see that.
