My goal in life is to be the person running the bookstore in the horror thriller where the protagonist has to go to track down a rune. I've got stupid hair and a vest or something. The protagonist shows me a rune drawn on a napkin and I say shit like "Aha! Just a moment!" Before skittering off for some gay ass book
If you see this on your dashboard, reblog this, NO MATTER WHAT and all your dreams and wishes will come true.
Oh hey! Haven’t seen this in forever! Didn’t reblog it when it came across me before, not gonna skip it this time, I need some good vibes.
Not superstitious and not not superstitious but a third secret thing (read a lot of fairytales as a child and doesn't believe them but also would never be rude to a mountain while still on it just in case)
I've said it before but this is both the Icelandic and the Irish approach:
Of course we're modern educated people who don't believe in fairies
But we're also not gonna fuck with 'em, we're not idiots
listen up chucklefucks, i just gotta say. I'm not defending zir, but I'm sad zie deactivated. Like, i get that trauma lasts a long time and the good stuff is maybe easy to forget?? so maybe it's just like that. And my beloved mutual @/pompeyspuppygirl made a post about zir clout chasing behavior, which is pretty shitty behavior if it's true (and if we're canceling someone it had better be pretty severe). anyways now that zie's gone pompeyspuppygirl said it was okay to make this post (again, thanks ppg everyone go follow her --really everyone in this whole drama is worth a follow)
ANYways yeah zie was my mutual and like, reblogged a lot my smaller posts. (that isn't to discredit what my mutual pompeyspuppygirl is saying about zie clout chasing ofc). AND idk zie was always reblogging art from new and undiscovered artists and reblogging donation posts (which if you don't know is really bad if you're trying to clout chase...) (again, though, ppg is my mutual i believe her.) and like, remember on valentines day i tried to blaze zir posts and zie told me to stop because zie didn't want the posts to go viral? (but again ppg is my mutual and has a lot of proof in the Google doc I'm not trying to disprove that I'm just saying what else I know)
Idk, like i feel like a lot of people loved zir's blog a while back, bc like zie DID make some good posts?? So idk why everybody's acting like they aren't even a little bit sad.,. like ngl this feels like maybe all the reasonable people left to Twitter and all the Twitter refugees who love drama came here??? shdfhhdhdhdhdh haha but idk...look idk, i just, julie i do miss you. idk. more thoughts later sorry I'm getting worked up shshs
Here's the original text because honestly this is impressive and I don't think it fully hits unless you know the Shakespeare.
Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears;
I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him.
The evil that men do lives after them;
The good is oft interred with their bones;
So let it be with Caesar. The noble Brutus
Hath told you Caesar was ambitious:
If it were so, it was a grievous fault,
And grievously hath Caesar answer’d it.
Here, under leave of Brutus and the rest–
For Brutus is an honourable man;
So are they all, all honourable men–
Come I to speak in Caesar’s funeral.
He was my friend, faithful and just to me:
But Brutus says he was ambitious;
And Brutus is an honourable man.
He hath brought many captives home to Rome
Whose ransoms did the general coffers fill:
Did this in Caesar seem ambitious?
When that the poor have cried, Caesar hath wept:
Ambition should be made of sterner stuff:
Yet Brutus says he was ambitious;
And Brutus is an honourable man.
You all did see that on the Lupercal
I thrice presented him a kingly crown,
Which he did thrice refuse: was this ambition?
Yet Brutus says he was ambitious;
And, sure, he is an honourable man.
I speak not to disprove what Brutus spoke,
But here I am to speak what I do know.
You all did love him once, not without cause:
What cause withholds you then, to mourn for him?
O judgment! thou art fled to brutish beasts,
And men have lost their reason. Bear with me;
My heart is in the coffin there with Caesar,
And I must pause till it come back to me.
I am losing my mind laughing THANK YOU SO MUCH OP
Et tu, Brute?
Yes
No
Caesar has grown too ambitious and knives are flying in the senate! Select a trio of coordinates below and click (keep reading) to see how you contributed to his assassination!

scarlet hollow is a game where you come to town and everyone competes to deceive and betray you like it’s a national fucking event
Do we think the deans might be able to control the spectres in some way? Is that one of the reasons they are pushing so hard for people to manifest?
Manifesting that it’s not that bad™️ that it works out just as planned.
You know what? I do feel vindicated. I called the playmate being behind their deaths a full year ago.
Is this a problem?
THAT’S WHAT I’M TALKING ABOUT
I think Lenore may just be a little bit inspired by the ballad by Gottfried August Bürger as well
Love all the theories coming out of ‘Annabel pulled the trigger’ (because what do you MEAN?!) but just to cover all the bases, have we considered that we already have a scene in the comic where someone pulls a trigger and nothing happens? And it escalates the situation?
Purloined letter theory
So now that we know that one of the new characters is based on Auguste Dupin let‘s look at the purloined letter.
For those who don’t know, Auguste Dupin is Poe’s detective archetype, vastly considered to be one of the first/if not the first. Arthur Conan Doyle even references him when introducing Sherlock Holmes. The purloined letter is the last Dupin story, but it’s the one I’ll be focusing on, because it fits so well here. Dupin is tasked with retrieving a letter that has been used to blackmail someone. Since we have just been introduced to the letter written by Lenore that has some juicy details in it, it makes sense to assume this is what’s going to come into play later.
The interesting bit is however the surrounding circumstances of the story. Because I don’t think the letter will be used to blackmail Lenore. See, in the original story the letter is specifically used to blackmail the queen. It’s Annabel who is consistently referred to as the queen.
The letter is stolen by someone only referred to as Minister D. Duke at least fits that naming scheme and he also has the letter already.
Shot in the dark here, but I think Duke will read the letter and instead of turning on Lenore will be trying to blackmail Annabel with it, threatening her to expose her double game to her team.
Dupin is then called in to retrieve the letter, in this case not for Lenore, but for Annabel.
i think at the core of it my sole requirement for a playlist boils down to Does It Have Vision. have you thought about how these songs work with the character + media and with each other. i am NOT listening to your 200+ song long playlist with 3 whole taylor swift albums on it
