Assigning Characters To Ways My Friends Have Responded To Me Asked “how Would You Dispose Of A Body”

Arisu: honestly sucking toes just isn't fun. Unless its your own obviously  Chishiya: not in normal circumstances no  Usagi: yeah guys suck some other body part instead  Arisu: like the ankle?  Chishiya: no idiot the di-

There’s toxic old woman yuri in season 5 episode 4 of psych?!? Best show ever made 10/10.

This is gonna be a mish mash of cultures and ideas so bare with me. In eastern Europe (specificly slavic countrys) the vampire was an almost ghostly spirit rather than our common undead sexy friend. They were trixters to some extent, spread disease but in the way rats do rather than the specific bite we know. They also didn't consume blood. So this is the technical truth aspect of this idk 'theory' (but more headcannon I suppose). From this, I headcannon, it evolved into two specific paths: the vampire as we know and the seer. Both evolved to revolve around blood since blood is commonly seen as a holder of the human spirit and life force making it a very powerful energy source. Vampires evolved specifically as almost undead creatures, focusing on that ghostly aspect and almost making the souls haunt the dead body in such a way that it becomes 'imortal'. The sucking of blood is to create a constant source of energy to power the 'possession' and inturn their existence- like food for us. The 'infectious bite' then becomes a combination of corpse germs and supernatual infliction that continues to create vampires- something their ancestor obviously did not have due to the lack of biting and corperal form. on the otherhand, seers found their powersource in blood by creating their own. Specifically in having a functioning human body. The living body acts as a conduit for the supernatural power wich is displayed by divination and prophecy, what which ghosts being conected to the past and human life being seen as something of the future. This ghostly ancestor also explains why Ethan can see ghosts when touching their objects, he's channeling that energy. Of course if having a living body was such an easy way to have blood the vampire would have done it too, the problem with using your own body as a conduit continuously is that it starts to degrade over time either with natural circumstance like being old as shit and dying, or your body contracting ilnesses. It's has it's ups and downs. anyway the idea of a common ancestor is so intresting to me, especially since in the few mythologys I research prophecy and disease are strangely commonly linked. And I mean blood has ALWAYS been apart of seeing the future, think of literally any form of animal sacrifice amongst religions. Or how in some underworld storys the souls must consume the blood of a sacrifice (not necessarily human!) to be able to comunicate.

Arisu: so yeah in ancient greece and Rome they’d read the entrails of thier blood sacrifice to predict the future

Usagi: facinating 

Chishiya: I wonder what my guts would predict Arisu: I would prefer not to see your guts? please and thank you<3 

Chishiya: just for that heart Kuina come chop me open your gonna read the future 

alot of shipping drama is fixed with polyamory. so anyway hoa is a big polycule and when people try to explain it it sounds like a meme and not everyone's dating everyone but somehow their all linked. the teachers have a bet for who's dating who because some days they see Fabian and Nina walking through the halls with their hands linked, and the next they see Fabian and Mick hugging the hall way as Mick holds up a mirror behind Fabians back for Amber to use.  or like how Jerome is some days bugging Mara but clearly flirting with her, and the next he’s stealing Alfie's food and resting his feet in his lap.  oh and the whole no one ever being in their bed but whenever Victor can be asked to catch them he never finds the same 2 people sharing a bed

Wanna know why I love avatar so much? Cuss the avatar really was the friends we made along the way. This isn’t some big deep dive into the morals of the show so be warned, it’s as surface deep as you can get but…

Being able to bend all 4 elements isn’t what the avatar is. The bending is just a physical representation of bringing those 4 clashing cultures together. Without Aang there is no reason for zuko, toph, katara or sokka to be friends. But because of him they are. They as representatives of their nations work with the last air bender (AND THE AVATAR!) to bring peace.

Because one man, one culture, cannot be the defining force in a universe. It’s just not true to reality. Sure some people helped more than others (the earth army was larger than the water tribes) but it was still a group effort. Everyone has to put effort in to keep their world at peace because every nation/ element plays a role in sustaining their life.

Honestly would love to write a fic about the avatar spirit dying/ disconnecting with humanity after aang gets stuck in the ice to further explore this idea but …. Im lazy.

the most unrealistic thing about this show is the lack of field trips. like where’s the geography kids going to visit some random ass gardens in London that apparently have fancy plants but you went during winter because your schools thick as shit so all your seeing is dead grass? where's the drama kids being taken to a play for their GCSE only to realise taking 30 kids on a train who all think they know better then you and probably do is actually hell on earth?  wheres the history students going to the britihs mueseum and laughing over the naked statues ( aka the genetalia because teens are dumb) and whining that their feet hurt and buying way to much gift shop items for students who refuse to pay for food in the diner? like okay no I get not showing the first two ideas but for a show that literally revolves around a history time period them NEVER visiting a museum ( and no the display thing held in the library doesnt count) is such a pissy thing to do.  like imagine Fabian and Nina sneaking off to look at the egyptian part, Jerome and alfie trying to pretend to be art critics to pick up ladys b ut they accdentally start speaking to someone really smart and Jerome sorta hoes “oh shit...im into this please tell me more) and Alfie is pissed because ???? what no their meant to mock the posh twats who like this stuff together! and Patrica and Mara both trying to distract the teacher from realising their missing 2 studetns but for completely different reasons. Patrica because she knows why they’ve gone, mara because she thinks they’ve snuck off to make out and honestly ? ya girls proud of Fabian for finally getting a date that ISNT a picnick so shes willing to extend how long it takes for her to read each induvisual info plack. Mick is just trying to rember how to read and Amber is complaining about how the fashion is so cool why cant they focus on that instead 

Alice in borderland au where everything’s the same but hatter is animated like a cartoon

You know I do think it's interesting how strongly Fullmetal Alchemist (2003) makes the point that bringing someone back from the dead is inherently selfish.

I've seen it elsewhere but not nearly as unequivocally and plainly put. First, we have Majhal in episode 4 - an alchemist so obsessed with bringing back his dead love, he completely fails to notice that she survived and returned to him. And even once the truth is revealed... he rejects her, since she's not the ~perfect girl~ from his memories, but an old woman - an actual person, with an actual life.

And if you missed it there, we then meet Tucker, so obsessed with keeping his lifestyle and success as a State Alchemist he does, you know, that. And then he goes on to become obsessed with bringing her back - but not her, not really, as he straight-up tells Ed in the 5th laboratory - he wants the girl from his memories, the perfect, unchanging doll.

Both times, we see that those obsessed with bringing someone back from the dead aren't interested in bringing back a person, with thoughts and feelings and their own independent life to live - no, they want their idea of that person, the glowing angel who could never change, never grow, and never go wrong. And that also goes for Ed and Izumi too - Ed was so obsessed with bringing his mother back that he ignored Pinako, ignored the family that took him in, and selfishly put his brother's life at risk... for which he paid the price. Izumi lost her ability to have future children, any of them, stuck on a dream on the child she could have had. Both didn't want that mother/child - they wanted their loved ones, the ones they dreamed of, not the ones that were actually there.

Most times resurrection is brought up in media, it's with the lesson that "oh, the cost is too high", "oh, you're disturbing their rest", "oh, they don't come back right." It's rare to see it put so clearly, so obviously, so horrifically that actually, no, even the fact that you attempt it - even the fact that you want to - is an inherently selfish act, that turns your back on life and the living to chase a dream that may not have ever existed.

It's an interesting take on the whole idea, of death and life and memory and obsession. For all that 2003 dropped the ball on the ending, I do love the development they gave to the characters!

Okay so not a on-shot BUT:

Go full on British pe lessons and make it bench ball. Inter house bench ball at that. Realllly give in to how pathetic this is. It’s just every house on campus playing bench ball against each other for shitty sports day points.

And of course these two lads are creating extreme practice regimes and have at least 50 pages of pure sport strategy hand written. Yes they did ignore their homework for this. Yes it was worth it. They rated everyone’s throwing, catching, and blocking skills 1-100 down to the 5th decimal place. This is the most math either have done in their life. They have the perfect strategy worked out for their team.

Either way they lose the inter house competition because no amount of strategy can overcome an all girl team of mean girls (said with love, being on those sort of teams was great).

someone write me a one-shot au where mick stayed for season 3 and he and eddie are running dodgeball like the marines please i NEED IT
