#defacation

[scriptmyth]

I had an idea for a horror story about a monster attacking people in public restrooms as a metaphor for bathroom rights where some people are afraid to use restrooms. I was wondering if you could come up with some malicious supernatural characters associated with defecation or the like. I'd prefer a European/U.S.-centric character. The only things coming to my mind are hungry ghosts, which aren't really malicious, and a yokai associated with bathhouses but not bathrooms as Americans mean it.

Hello!

So, as far as any of us know, there really isn’t anything that fits what you’re after. Lots of cultures have gods/spirits associated with toilets and defecation, but they’re not really malicious. Mostly, they’re fertility gods, reflecting the ancient practice of using the contents of toilets (nightsoil) as fertiliser. I suppose you could pick one and have it attack because somebody has offended it; this is fairly normal for gods and spirits the world over.

I’d suggest maybe an enraged genius loci, a Roman god of a place (I see no reason why a public loo couldn’t have one, and it fits your criteria re: Western) or Cloacina, the Roman goddess of sewers. But, keep in mind that gods do not tend to die easily, being immortal, so it’s going to seem weird if you have your protagonist kill it. Try giving it something it wants instead, like vengeance or justice.

Animal experimentation, cover ops, secret missions, Loid's excuses, and classified identities in Spy x Family

Early on in vol. 4 of the Spy x Family manga, specifically panels from Mission 18, Loid makes an absurd reason for why he has to leave, a total and absurd lie. As Anya puts it early on in the manga, he is a “bad liar.” I’ve written about Spy x Family before on this blog, many times. In fact, to date, it has been mentioned in eight posts, including those about: Spy x Family: Family Portrait (a…

food, he lived in great faecal felicity. Every evening before the second and last curfew he went to the latrines and stayed there as long as possible. It was perhaps the best moment of the day and brought back vividly the years in Beauvais. It was an interlude of solitude, calm and meditation during an act of defecation performed generously and without excessive effort, by a regular descent of the turd into the lubricated sheath of the mucous membranes.

Red Card for Dog fouling in Torrevieja

The mayor of Torrevieja, Jose Manuel Dolón, has told the Local Police to increase their vigilance in respect of urban cleanliness in the city, particularly regarding the matter of the defection of dogs that is left behind by their owners.

He said that he is a great animal lover himself and there is absolutely nothing wrong with owners taking their dogs for a walk but when they foul the mess must be cleared up and not simply left behind for people to walk in.

Dolon said that articles 15 and 22 of city regulations show that hygiene must be maintained in the city and that the excrement must be removed without fail.

The Local Police imposed just 8 infractions in 2016 but now, after a summer focused on other priority services, he has asked them to enforce municipal regulations and both warn and punish the owners of dogs where this is appropriate.

The mayor also requested members of the public to politely but firmly encourage irresponsible dog owners to clear up after their dog. “However, if you don’t feel that you can approach someone,” he said, “report dog fouling to the local police – particularly if you know who is letting their dog foul regularly.”

In December 2015 the mayor promised that he would clamp down on anyone who didn’t clean up after their dog had defecated in a public place. He promised there would be no mercy and that offenders would be hit with fines of 3000 euros. 

The promise came from the Los Verdes leader, whilst he was under increasing pressure from residents to remove all of the ‘Pipican’ and WCcan’ facilities in the town.
