Psst, I was tagged by our community's embodiment of a horror god, someone who makes you swallow glass shards and asks if the taste of them going down with your blood is sweet or should it be sweeter, the one whose words make you clutch your chest and keep reading anyway, the cool and cool @vamporg ! Actually that's too much, I was tagged by a good deity. Very sweet. It's a nice feeling to read her works, and they aren't too scary, just makes you rethink a few things, which is a good thing. In today's day and age, articles that ask you to think about something not just as a joke but as something realistic is very important. Getting Face slapped makes you smarter.

Thank you for tagging me, Vamp.

G- "Guess I'm a faulty produce then," However, crude words weren't as deadly as bloodthirsty ghosts, nor did they sting as much as poisoned blades. But they were enough to quietly carve into a certain hero's heart, filling it with a sour feeling.

U- Utterly undeserving and pathetically lacking.

A- Actually, this wasn't a problem at all. You could simply raise the sunken carcasses at the bottom of the dark river to the surface, and the scent alone would keep any living organism a million steps away from your tower.

Z- x Attendant B: "Z Z Z Z Z, what sentence could possibly begin with such an unsightly looking letter?" Attendant A: "Words beginning with Z aside from simple words like Zoo and Zero include; Zealous, Zest, Zenith, Zephyr, Zipped..." I: "Stop, don't speak anymore. My ears are already buzzing from all your zi zi zi zi. Why don't you guys screw off to your Demon Lord's side now!" *Flicks the two little cuties away, sending them flying towards the sky, where hopefully they will airdrop at the Demon Lord's Location.*

E- Everything has a reason to exist. No matter how inconvenient they are for you, or how frightful, disgusting, envious, this and that they make you feel. If you can remove them, then simply do. If not, it's unreasonable to continue complaining.

As for the tags, I will be tagging @blccded, @aprismaticodyssey, @wearetheabyss-if, @shaywrites-ifs, and @galactic-idols-if With the Word ALONG

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: 5.16 The Body

tw Death of a major character, grief, dealing with the death of a parent

Buffy, Dawn, and their friends deal with the aftermath of Joyce's death.

The purposeful removal of music for the whole episode, the grief portrayed, the portrayals of people with varying amounts of interaction with death. It hits so hard.

This episode killed me. I have never watched anything that has fully emcompassed the feeling of loss and what it's like to experience death close to you than The Body. It is an absolute gut punch in the best way. I actually had to take a week off of watching Buffy to recover because I was so destroyed. 12/10 I don't think I will ever be able to watch this episode of TV ever again

One of the greatest depictions of grief and bereavement of all time. Both formally inventive and unique in its cinematography, sound design, editing etc. while also being an incredible personally affecting emotional experience.

There’s another buffy episode that probably deserves the title more, but I did have to give this one some recognition. For a whacky silly show about vampires, this episode is maybe the realest portrayal of death and grief I’ve ever seen. It’s not just a sad episode that makes audiences cry - I mean it is that - but it’s also this incredible examination of what it’s like to lose someone, and how the world shifts on its axis when that happens. The lack of any non diegetic music is an amazing touch to give this episode a sense of distance from all others. It’s real in a way that’s hard to watch but also unforgettable. Certain scenes and lines will always stay with me and will forever shape my feelings on life and loss.

Avatar: The Last Airbender: 2.07 Zuko Alone

As Zuko tries to make it by in exile without his uncle, he remembers how his father became Firelord and what happened to his mother.

Don't Go Breaking My Heart

Written By: Bernie Taupin & Elton John

Artist: Elton John & Kiki Dee

Released: 1976

In the book 1000 UK #1 Hits, Kiki Dee talked about the idea behind this song: “Both Elton and I were big fans of those duets on Motown by Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell and there hadn’t been any around for a bit—we thought we’d do one ourselves.” This song became John’s first #1 single in the UK and his sixth #1 in the US.

[Verse 1: Elton John & Kiki Dee] Don't go breaking my heart I couldn't if I tried Oh honey if I get restless Baby you're not that kind Don't go breaking my heart You take the weight off of me Oh honey when you knock on my door Ooh, I gave you my key [Pre-Chorus: Elton John, Kiki Dee & both] Ooh, nobody knows it When I was down I was your clown Ooh, nobody knows it (Nobody knows it) Right from the start I gave you my heart Oh, I gave you my heart [Chorus: Elton John, Kiki Dee & both] So don't go breaking my heart I won't go breaking your heart Don't go breaking my heart [Verse 2: Elton John & Kiki Dee] And nobody told us Because nobody showed us And now it's up to us babe Oh, I think we can make it So don't misunderstand me You put the light in my life Oh, you put the spark to the flame I've got your heart in my sights [Pre-Chorus: Elton John, Kiki Dee & both] Ooh, nobody knows it When I was down I was your clown Ooh, nobody knows it (Nobody knows it) Right from the start I gave you my heart Oh, I gave you my heart [Chorus: Elton John, Kiki Dee & both] Don't go breaking my heart I won't go breaking your heart Don't go breaking my heart [Pre-Chorus: Elton John, Kiki Dee & both] Ooh, nobody knows it When I was down I was your clown Right from the start I gave you my heart Oh, I gave you my heart [Chorus: Elton John, Kiki Dee & both] Don't go breaking my heart I won't go breaking your heart Don't go breaking my Don't go breaking my Don't go breaking my heart Don't go breaking my Don't go breaking my I won't go breaking your heart Don't go breaking my heart Don't go breaking my I won't go breaking your heart Don't go breaking my heart Don't go breaking my I won't go breaking your heart Don't go breaking my heart Don't go breaking my I won't go breaking your heart Don't go breaking my heart Don't go breaking my I won't go breaking your heart Don't go breaking my heart Don't go breaking my I won't go breaking your heart Don't go breaking my heart

Demolition Lovers

Written By: Matt Pelissier, Mikey Way, Ray Toro & Gerard Way

Artist: My Chemical Romance

Released: 2002

The Demolition Lovers are the couple seen on the cover for MCR’s next album, Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge. This song, along with much of the album, is a prequel to the story of Three Cheers… in which a man makes a deal with the devil to get his dead lover back by killing 1,000 evil men and giving the devil their souls in exchange for her. This song is most likely where the lover dies. The two “Demolition Lovers” are featured on the cover of the album.

[Verse 1] Hand in mine, into your icy blues And then I'd say to you, "We could take to the highway With this trunk of ammunition, too" I'd end my days with you, in a hail of bullets [Chorus] I'm trying, I'm trying To let you know just how much you mean to me And after all the things We put each other through and [Verse 2] I would drive on to the end with you A liquor store or two keeps the gas tank full And I feel like there's nothing left to do But prove myself to you, and we'll keep it running [Chorus] But this time, I mean it I'll let you know just how much you mean to me As snow falls on desert sky Until the end of everything I'm trying, I'm trying To let you know how much you mean As days fade and nights grow And we grow cold [Post-Chorus] Until the end, until this pool of blood Until this, I mean this, I mean this, until the end of [Chorus] I'm trying, I'm trying To let you know how much you mean As days fade and nights grow And we grow cold But this time, we'll show them We'll show them all how much we mean As snow falls on desert sky Until the end of every… [Interlude] All we are, all we are is bullets, I mean this All we are, all we are is bullets, I mean this All we are, all we are is bullets, I mean this All we are, all we are is bullets, I mean this [Guitar Solo] [Bridge] As lead rains will pass on through Our phantoms forever, forever Like scarecrows that fuel this flame We're burning forever and ever Know how much I want to show you You're the only one Like a bed of roses There's a dozen reasons in this gun [Outro] And as we're falling down, and in this pool of blood And as we're touching hands, and as we're falling down And in this pool of blood, and as we're falling down I'll see your eyes, and in this pool of blood I'll meet your eyes, I mean this forever!
