…worm jokes don’t do very well in the Archives.
He’s just built different
what do you mean elon musk did a nazi salute on live tv at the united states presidential inauguration twice and is now erasing the evidence off the internet by replacing the footage with the crowd cheering instead?
would be a shame if people reblogged this, wouldn’t it?
Enjoying the Horrors?
Honestly yes, yes I do. They're fun! And interesting! And terrifying! Of course I love them!
And this is why I'll now give you my unrequested top 5 Powers - for now at least:
______________
5) The Buried
Amigara Fault vibes always appreciated
The Casket accompanied us for seasons and I feel attached to it. Also, it sings in the rain, which is weirdly peaceful
Love the contrast between the fear of being stuck underground forever vs the attraction of what's hidden below the earth, all those secrets waiting to be discovered
______________
4) The End
The holy Power for lazy people. All you have to do is sit and wait, because everything is destined to die anyway (this also means The End is the most powerful horror of them all, because all of them will inevitably succumb to The End)
Doesn't even have a ritual, because why wasting time when you can chill
It's viscerally universal, because it's related to the biggest mystery of life and the universe: death itself
______________
3) The Spiral / The Distortion
Michael was my Best Boyo and I loved everything about him, from his laugh, to his voice, to the creepy echo
Helen is a good Distortion and she's bestie with Melanie - which is right and good, because they both deserve a bestie
It's a weird Power. I don't get it entirely, but I like how trippy it is and the constant identity crisis is fascinating as well
______________
2) The Vast
Simon Fairchild is a funny old man
Theatrics because he can
It's such a fascinating fear! It makes you feel small and alone, it gives you a sense of dread... but it also makes you feel awe and respect, while facing things much larger and powerful than us, like the ocean or the universe
______________
1) The Eye
Big loser know-it-all <3
Knowledge means power. But also accepting everyone flaws and all
The avatars of The Eye live the best life! They compel people to talk about their secrets, learn something new everyday and use their knowledge to get what they want/do whatever they want. Absolute. Win.
Just a psa for fic writers who use the “trauma bond” tag, please make sure you’re using it correctly. A trauma bond is not two people who experience similar trauma and bond over it. It’s a carefully curated, manipulative bond between abuser and victim to keep the victim coming back because of the addictive highs and lows that come with abuse.
If you want to tag two characters bonding over shared trauma, a good substitute tag would be “bonding over shared trauma.” Trauma bonding is, by definition, an abusive relationship and may steer people who have experienced it away from your fic. Please spread the word and happy writing!
Let's connect some dots here
The Trump administration kidnaps and sends hundreds of people to a prison camp in El Salvador with no due process (meaning they never have to prove these people committed whatever offence the Admin claims)
The Administration sets the precedent that anyone, up to green card holder and naturalized citizens, will be subject to this for practicing free speech in a way the Administration doesn't like
The Administration puts out two Executive Orders, one which says they believe trans people and parents of trans children are all sexual offenders and another that anyone who criticizes Israel is a terrorist
The President puts out a statement, in public, saying he wants to find ways to send US citizens to those foreign prison camps
The Administration directly defies 2 different SCOTUS decisions that say anyone who is deported must get due process and (this one a unanimous decision) they must return a wrongfully deported man
The US President now tells the President of El Salvador, again in public, that they will need to expand their facilities because he wants to start sending "homegrown criminals" to El Salvador very soon
We aren't even in boiling the frog territory any more, we're in a flash frier.
Like I hate sounding like a fucking tinfoil hat nutjob, but it's clear as day, right? He's saying exactly what he wants to do. And no one is doing anything about it. They're just saying "hey that's illegal!" and then letting it happen anyway.

MAGA cowardice and fragile masculinity on full display. Pete Hegseth is invisible in a world of merit and commitment.
His sole quality is fealty to a rapist felon fraud.
DMC1, Dante I love you 💕
