Medieval Parchment Repairs

was talking with a friend who pointed out that higurashi is the one horror franchise where the characters having phones would actually make things much worse and decided to game out how the internet would ruin the casts' lives.

Rena: fullly Pastel QAnon-pilled. Has not been vaccinated and believes that hillary clinton is a lizard person. shows up to local school board meetings with a cup of her own menses she's ready to fling at people.

Keiichi: either one of the rare people stupid enough to actually become addicted to porn or he becomes like. Mr. Beast. He's not naturally unscrupulous and probably avoids scamming people but in the absence of real friendships he's the most dedicated and successful hollow attention-hound in human history.

Satoshi: learns about femboys and starts posting pics of himself in a maid dress. Is manipulated by channers into posting lewds of himself on social media.

Mion: learns about non-binary people and goes oh. OHHHHHH. begins to consider if moving to the city for a bit might help her find some new ways of expressing herself.

Shion: reigning moderator of r/femaledatingstrategies. locked in a neverending duel for control of the subreddit with Kyrie, who does not know that her mortal enemy is a teenaged girl.

Rika: somethingawful deadender. has not left the house in years. tweets with dril-like concision.

takano: basically just that rocket scientist dildo saleswoman convincing people to engage in white supremacist mass shootings. honestly the internet doesnt change her very much it just makes her an even greater danger to society at large.

irie: dont even need to say it do i

satoko: we couldnt quite figure her out. friend argued for 'general-purpose replyguy hater,' i argued 'fandom anti.'

i love reddit so fucking much

I want to play Fallen London again but the problem with Fallen London is that while you're playing it's all perfectly simple and ingrained but the moment you step away for like, a month, then when you come back suddenly the entire game is like "If you really want to continue this storyline you'll have to get 9 Whispers of a Lovelorn Dream and sell them to an authoritarian rabbit in the 87.2th circle of hell where it'll bestow on you the Token of an Inadequate Perfume-Maker, but first you'll need to buy the Indefatigable Jetski from the Fulminating Dowager at Watchmaker's Hill by collecting enough Pieces of the Flayed Corpse of God and converting them into Baptized Rat Kings." and I'm like wow I cannot believe how recently I understood what all of that meant. but now I. do not.

BREAKING: a witch has just cast a spell on a seagull, transforming him into a Seattle Mariners fan to teach him a lesson in humility.

Shahanshah Ardashir I (r. 224–242) receiving the Ring of Power from Ahura Mazda, Naqsh-e Rustam, Sasanian, 3rd century CE.

cant forgive one of my coworkers because our advisor came into the office and was giving us a very sad speech that he had to make us work more hours and he was very upset about this fact and we all had to be very somber listening to him when to my right this guys computer flashes into sleep mode which happens to reveal this image that i then had to look at and not lose my shit over even a little bit

But like. it is though. How is it not slang.

i hate when people say "unalive" is gen z slang don't group me in with those ppl on tiktok. i don't know anybody irl that says unalive. your experiences are not universal

The reason Battler has a veil--part of Battler's epiphany is surely the realization that the truth cannot actually be seen in reality unless it is in some sense concealed. In order to "grasp" Sayo he must accept the logic by which Sayo hides herself.

Art idea: give Battler a witch outfit? He deserves better than his normal clothes plus a cape (a dress would be neat but whatever you think fits his style)

Here you go! You have no idea how psyched I was to take a stab at this LOL

ty to @fisheatingowntail for suggestions/ideas on brainstorming this!
