#Mad Monster Convention
Text
Horror Con books Pedophile Rapist!
Since I'm posting about this on all my socials here you go tumblr! Mad Monster Convention, a horror con that operates in both North Carolina and Arizona booked Kevin Spacey as a celebrity guest at their North Carolina con this February.
I know, what the actual fuck, right?????
Obviously this decision was met with backlash. Kevin Spacey was very publicly called out a few years ago over his sexual assault allegations (all of which I believe were boys under the age of 18). He went to court in London and was acquitted last year because of some sort of mistrial I believe (I could have that wrong but it was some legality thing and NOT because he's innocent). OJ Simpson was also acquitted but we all know. And I believe the two are under the same management. Shocker.
Now you may be wondering, how has Mad Monster dealt with the backlash? Have they talked to the fans, taken time to consider what this means for the future of the con, opened the floor for a discussion? Nope, instead they began on Facebook by deleting any comments not kissing Spacey's ass, then went straight to blocking anyone that would make a negative comment. I was blocked for commenting, and I quote, "Not Cool." Seems kind of harsh to block a top fan and avid Mad Monster attendee over "Not Cool," but they were blocking others for far less.
Now they have disabled comments on all platforms and continue to block not only fans and cosplayers like myself, but the artists and vendors that pay to be at their event! You would think at a fan centric event, the convention would want to cater to the fans. There would be no celebrities without fans!
Apparently the convention is under new management, which should have been apparent when they started booking more and more non horror celebrities i.e the cast of Smallville, Lou Diamond Phillips, the cast of Dukes of Hazard- which I am about to circle back to. Not to say these aren't good guest, and I'm not trying to diminish (most of them) in the least, but it is a horror convention. Another tip off to the new management should have been when John Schneider (Bo Duke from Dukes of Hazard) was not immediately uninvited from the con when he tweeted about wanting the President of the United States publicly executed. Yes, you read that correctly. He is still on the guest list even though I believe he is under FBI surveillance.
Another new management decision has been to get rid of the Madame Monster Showcase, a horror themed burlesque show that happens every Saturday when there is a convention. I have never attended since it takes place late at night and I am a granny who has to go home to feed her cat, but from clips I have seen and what other people have said, the Madame Monster Showcase is always a big hit! These ladies are super talented and they are a big part of the reason people attend the after party.
The convention is unfortunately doubling down on their poor decisions and disregarding the fans in every aspect. I don't really have a point to make with this post, I'm not telling people to go flood their socials (they're only going to block you if you try) I am just trying to raise awareness about the shit show that is currently Mad Monster NC. The more people are aware, the better chance there is of them righting this wrong and uninviting Kevin Spacey.
I know a few vendors that have pulled out, but most cannot afford to do so. I myself and stuck attending because the tickets are non refundable and I really can't afford NOT to go. The vendors who are still attending are not bad people, they are just artists and small business owners who have already paid to attend and make a lot of their livelihood from conventions.
Anyway, if this could get shared to raise awareness, I would really appreciate it. And if you stuck around this long, holy crap and thank you for listening!

#that which could not be included:#scarecrow#sci-fi (aliens‚ robots‚ mad scientists. my mind seems to separate sci-fi and horror as concepts so it just lumps these all together lol)#pirate apparently#the headless horseman. just a smidge to specific and singular#generic 'monster' that isn't an alien but is physically weird as if it were#technically haunted dolls but veering a bit less ''conventional''#i wouldn't count folklore like Medusa or the minotaur cause then this list would be endless. plus feels weird to level those as 'spooky'#I'm thinking too much now I'm done lol#Halloween

Last weekend I had the awesome opportunity to meet Kane Hodder at Mad Monster Party Arizona and had him sign one of my original paintings as a birthday present for a friend. I just have to say what an amazing guy he was 😭 I could've sat and talked to him all day.
Also got a pic with Nick Castle (who's also just the fucking nicest person) but not sure I want everyone to see my fat face lmao.
I ended up selling out of almost all of my stuff at my table so now it's time get back to work lmao. I'm really excited to be working on some new paintings and hopefully I'll have my Etsy updated with some new stuff soon! If anyone knows of any horror conversations in the Las Vegas area let me know. I've been really enjoying meeting so many wonderful horror fans 🥰

Narratively, Izzy’s arc only ends two ways - his redemption and death, or his full immersion as a villain. This is going off from what is discussed in this post by @areyoudoingthis, but I didn't want to start writing essays on someone else's post.
The problem of redeeming antagonists is that it’s often in the eleventh hour, and often not emotionally satisfying because it ignores or discards the violence (emotional, psychological, or physical) done by them earlier in order to give them a saving grace.
In the case of OFMD, Izzy suffers, and he suffers as a direct result of the choices he made and the consistent violence he inflicted on Ed and on others. He becomes beloved by the Kraken crew because they see him suffering along with them, and using what little influence he has to try to stop Ed from descending further. But that doesn’t erase what Izzy has done, which is born out by the attitudes of Stede’s crew and Izzy's continued isolation from them until the unicorn and even after.
Does Izzy bear the brunt of Ed’s direct physical violence? Yeah, he does. He's the only one that Ed physically harms (and the cutting off of toes and limbs seems to be a leaveover from Hornigold, as Ed performs the role of the monstrous father who tortured him). That suffering is part of the redemption narrative. It is one of the narrative conceits for Izzy to atone for his sins.
(Please note - I am talking about narrative conventions and how the show is using them, not making a moral judgment on characters' actions.)
Again, narratively, Izzy being the target makes sense. He has systematically tried to deny or eliminate every spark of happiness in Ed’s life. He has tried to have Stede killed multiple times, all of them either by Ed or in front of Ed. He has allied with a repressive regime, itself the biggest villain in the show, that wants all pirates dead or in chains. Failing all that, he has attacked Ed in the only safe space he has - Stede’s cabin - and told him that if he doesn’t turn into the caricatured monster of Blackbeard, then Izzy will KILL him.
He has zero claim on Ed’s mercy and Ed shows him none, not least because Ed's descent is exactly what Izzy insisted on from the very start. Ed, half mad with grief and self-loathing, directs his hostility at his jailer and at himself.
All of that sets up a redemption arc, but how much does Izzy touch on his own culpability? He tells Stede that Ed "took my leg because I dared to mention your fucking name," which is not true. Izzy blames the toxic atmosphere on the ship not on himself and not even on Ed, but on Stede. It is Ed's feelings about Stede - his namby-pamby, pining for his boyfriend feelings - that Izzy thinks have created this violence. And Ed shoots him for suggesting it. Izzy misses his role entirely, that Ed was in fact in the depths of grief but not a violent suicidal spiral when Stede left him.
It may be that Izzy does indeed recognize his role at this point, but he's not admitting it - the furthest he goes is to say that "we did this to him," but he never fully defines what that means, and in this case he's appealing to Stede to save the crew.
Later, when Stede reappears and Ed recovers, it is quite obvious that Ed himself is still angry and still hurt and still distrusting, but the mere mention of Stede's name or sight of Stede's face doesn't send him into a rage. Stede was the source of his grief, but Stede and Ed's feelings for him did not cause the toxic atmosphere on that ship.
Throughout, Izzy does indeed begin to find redemption. He accepts the crew's offering of love, and he begins to express himself outside of Ed and Blackbeard. He decides to move on from what Ed did to him (and he cannot really control if Ed decides to forgive him for his part). He offers sympathy to Stede, and support for their relationship. His suffering is part of that arc, and it is a function of Ed's arc - Ed cutting off the gangrenous limb to save himself. But we never see Izzy taking on the blame for his earlier behavior. Unlike Ed, we don't see him working through, or trying to work through, the pain he caused others and what that says about himself. Which makes sense - Izzy is a secondary character, not the lead. His healing matters less to the narrative than Ed's, and his characterization from the beginning is not of a man given to introspection or longing for something different. Him suddenly embracing Lucius or being really kind to Stede wouldn't make sense.
The only possible narrative conclusion here is for Izzy to die. He cannot continue to exist in the same space as Ed. His character cannot continue to interfere with Ed's healing and relationship with Stede. The show gives him peace and love, and it gives him an opportunity to tell Ed to let go (though, again, he cannot control Ed letting go, and he cannot and should not be the character who "gives" Ed his family - Ed already had that). It allows him to suffer so that he can indeed have redemption that doesn't happen in the eleventh hour, and an arc that feels moving and satisfying, in which Ed crying for him (Ed, who did not care when Izzy got thrown off the ship in Season 1) has resonance. But it was always going to end like this.

SHATTERED EARTH INTRO POST
DEMO | DISCORD
Shattered Earth is an Interactive Sci-Fi/Fantasy Fiction about retreading old ground and working for your good ending. less formally, this is meant to go on my portfolio
Five years ago, you watched the world split open, bore witness to what you could only refer to as "dragons" made manifest in scale, flesh and skin. You saw cities razed to the ground, asphalt streets shattered like ice. Fleets of dragons and foreign—almost alien—aircrafts alike seared across the skies, while towers of dirt and metal tore free from the landscape. The world has inexplicably, incomprehensibly changed, but you know this to be true: Earth never really stood a chance.
With your world now overrun by dragons and dangers alike, you've lived alone, hiding from the world you once called home, scrounging for scraps and surviving by the skin of your teeth. But when a chance encounter with a mercenary ship leaves you reeling with the realization that you're not the average-joe of a human that you thought you once were, you're forced into an ultimatum: enlist with the Seekers, or live out the rest of your life in a Human compound on Therius. But your horrors extend far beyond the threat of the dragons; your monsters are at home in your head, but they might just be the key to stopping all of this madness… if they don't take you out first.
The gears turn, the worlds spin inwards like ever-onwards like painted tops. You will undergo a journey of self-discovery, of potential romances and of incredible loss. And somehow, you can't shake the sensation that this has all happened before…
A customizable protagonist: Customize your gender, your body type, your pronouns, and personality.
Five ROs to romantically pursue—some in the most conventional sense, others in… a not so conventional sense.
Engage in brief flings, one of which is... an RO's estranged divorced mother. (Your crewmates will disapprove.)
Train your body or your mind to perfection. Are you a frontline fighter, or do you prefer the aethereal arts?
Cute cat dog wolfboy…?
The female version of a himbo
There's no good way to put this: you remember things you shouldn't. The end of your story is not the end; something awaits you at the place where your endings converge. What is it? What are you?
There's an egotistical mind entity in your head, and the flags aren't just red; they're blood-crimson. Romanceable, but at a steep cost to your sanity. Or maybe…
Skippable, customizable NSFW content. My friends have advised me not to continue.
Avett Ironsturm
Role: RO
Gender: Male (he/him)
Race: Kattish
Age: 20
Specialization: Arms specialist
Appearance: Avett is a Kattish man of average height. His complexion is fair. Perched upon his head are two swivelling cat-like ears, and at the base of his spine is a prehensile tail that is about the length of his arm—both are adorned with soft, black fur. His hair is black, hangs just below the shoulders, and he keeps most of it in a messy ponytail. Most of his frontal hair frames his boyish, youthful face. His irises are copper colored, his pupils slitted.
Personality: Avett is bristly, prickly, and very easy to anger if he's not trying to get into your pants. He's a flirt through and through, and knows how and when to be charming, just… not with his coworkers. Or you. Though if you can get him to let his guard around you, you might just find him a lot more bearable.
Your impression: Once upon a time, you saw his old ID, stuffed in a cabinet along with his boxers and body spray, and you realized he was smiling in his photo. Not outwardly—they don't want you smiling on those cards, but behind those eyes was a laugh ready to bust out at any moment. That was four years ago. Now? All he does now is sulk and yell at people. Something happened in those four, long years, and those years have only been getting longer since.
Sexuality: Bisexual (woman-leaning)
Yuda Hellsbridge
Role: RO
Gender: Female (she/her)
Race: Half Gallian, Half Kattish
Age: Secret?
Specialization: Restrainer
Appearance: Yuda is a half-Gallian, half-Kattish woman of above average height. Her complexion is a pale, seafoam green—common for most Gallians. Her hair is white with blue undertones in the right lighting, and is short and choppy. If you look too closely into her metallic gray eyes, you will notice a swirling, foggy substance within her irises, as is common for all Gallians who are at least a bit adept in magic… which is to say, almost all of them. Yuda is extremely fit and exercises often, and as a result her build is stocky and muscular—very uncommon for a Gallian, though she claims that she's half Kattish.
Personality: Yuda is outwardly cheerful, loud, and brash—tact is not her forte. But behind every sunny smile is a shadow, and Yuda keeps her shadows well away from the spotlight.
Your impression: It's not trauma. It's not a blip in her personality. There is something genuinely terrifying hiding behind Yuda's eyes, and that's not including the fact that you don't know how old she is. Oh, she's nice, and she's got no ulterior motives, you'll give her that. But it's like she's wearing her own body like a shadow.
Sexuality: doesn't care for labels, but for clarity's sake she is pansexual.
Ysh'vanna O'Raal
Role: RO
Gender: Female (she/her)
Race: Draconian
Age: 26
Specialization: Captain/Pilot
Appearance: Ysh'vanna is a short girl with wispy, white hair that topples down to her waist—if she doesn't brush it out of her face, it has a tendency to smother her slight frame like an oversized scarf. Her irises are orange, with a ring of emerald green around her pupils. Trailing from her ears are two, small, green webs that resemble translucent dragon wings.
Personality: Everyone onboard the Seeker is a wreck, yes, but Ysh'vanna is always at least two crises away from a mental breakdown everyday. Sorting through admin, funds, Avett's shenanigans and the odd dragon attack has left her riddled with anxieties. She has difficulty forming bonds outside of work because of this, so her relationship with Avett isn't great. After any particularly grueling mission, she will often be found comatose in front of the navigation panels, staring off into the skyline. Otherwise, Ysh'vanna tries to be cheerful. Most of the time. Some of the time.
Your impression: She's probably by far the most average person on this ship. Every morning she takes her coffee with three sugars and a cupful of milk; every night she takes a nail-sized tablet along with a full glass of water. "For the anxiety," she says. She's incredibly open about most things... until it comes to her family. What's the deal?
Sexuality: bisexual (woman-leaning)
Auren Draksparrow
Role: Platonic Option
Gender: Male (he/him)
Race: Gallian
Age: According to Avett, "Like, a hundred or something." He looks about forty in Human years to you.
Specialization: Warder
Appearance: Auren is a Gallian man of above average height. His frame is gaunt, almost frail; his hair is platinum blond, and is secured in a low ponytail that reaches down to his waist. His complexion is seafoam green, and his eyes are a faint violet. Swimming in his irises is a fog, a trait most Gallians share. His facial features are long and soft, but his cheekbones sit high upon his face.
Personality: Auren is cold, aloof, and it can be difficult to discern what he's thinking from speech and body language alone. He is clear in mind, even during high-pressure situations, until his abilities as a caster fail him.
Your impression: Here's the deal about living past one hundred and one; you're going to mess up. You're going to mess up a lot more than the average person, and your book of guilt's going to be pushing a trilogy if you don't start forgiving yourself for some of those mess-ups. You know for a fact that Auren has never forgiven himself, not even once, because he's yet to save the Seekers. Because he's yet to, in his eyes, make himself useful. But you're his lucky break: he's the only one on the ship who can see that thing in your head for what it is, and he knows it's a threat.
Sexuality: he's not looking for a relationship right now, if ever. He's married to his tomes and the study of aether.
Liam Salazar
Role: RO
Gender: Male (he/him)
Race: Human
Age: 24
Specialization: Researcher
Appearance: Liam is tall with an athletic frame and broad shoulders. He usually keeps his dark brown hair in a nest of curls atop his head. His skin is a deep umber, and his eyes are an even deeper shade of brown. He often wears a white lab coat over a simple sweater and dress shirt.
Personality: Quiet, but goofy; aloof, but sensitive. You sense that this boy would rather bury his head in a good book or some other complicated research than look you in the eye. That's not to say he's meek, though—come any threat, and he'll lash out swinging. You had to be a special kind of tough to have survived the Migration as a Human, and Liam is no exception.
Your impression: You didn't expect to make friends at the IRC training facility—most Humans there wanted your head on a stick for the cardinal sin of having a deal with a merc ship already. The Migration wore everyone's patience thin, but not Liam's. For a hot moment at that facility, you were two renegades against the hateful world. Until your training period finished up.
Sexuality: Panromantic demisexual, though initially he believes that he's straight.
The Entity
Role: RO
Gender: Customizable/it
Race: Something intangible. A voice in your head.
Age: It laughs when you ask this. "How old is a concept? The fear of death, the love of life? How old? Are you counting? Think about that."
Appearance: A dark wisp of smoke that occasionally shifts to form parts of a person.
Personality: Loves you, like an overbearing parent. Punishes you, like a torturer gleaning for answers. It maims you and calls it affection.
Your impression: When you're not talking to it, it's rummaging through your memories. Why? For fun. It knows about that time you did this and that in the locker room and almost got caught for it. It knows about that time you stopped someone from leaving after class just so you could hit on them, unsuccessfully, for ten minutes before they had to beg you to leave. It knows everything about you, all the bad, all the good—and it loves you anyway. That's the purest kind of love, isn't it?
Sexuality: Wouldn't you like to know.
With that all said, thank you for checking out this post, and DOUBLE thank you if you decide to try out Shattered Earth. 🙇🙇

I really hope a revival or new season of SPN never happens. For me it's impossible to add something new without ruining what's already been done, and I like it the way it is. But after Misha's word vomit at the last convention the hellers are more excited than ever that they'll finally get what they want, Cass and Dean SO in love etc. Never gonna happen! But let's suppose that there really is another season of SPN: how do you predict it will go and what will be the reaction of the hellers?
My guess is a SPN revival would be a limited series taking place between 15x19 and 15x20, as originally intended in The Winchesters where Dean was narrating from the bunker. It could be divided between Sam and Dean on a classic monster hunting trips and helping Rowena wrangle wayward demons back to hell. There were hints in season 15 that some demons would not follow Rowena. We could even meet Sam’s future wife. I know Misha wants a rescue mission into the Empty to free Cas but that would run counter to Dean’s words to Sam in 15x20. Nah, better to let sleeping dogs lie.
Hellers will always be bitter no matter what. Let’s say everybody at WB collectively have an aneurysm and say Destiel is a thing in the revival. 99% of the hellers will still be mad because it wouldn’t confirm their fanfiction version. Meanwhile 99% of the SPN audience who doesn’t know Destiel is even a thing will be WTF-ing because that ship just came out of nowhere. There are even The Walking Dead fans to this day that say the Richonne ship came out of nowhere even though it's been canon for years. Therefore it makes absolute no sense to acknowledge a fanfiction ship because the general audience wouldn’t know about it and the hellers will be mad regardless for not conforming to their porno fanfictions.

Idia Shroud with Robecca Steam!reader
➥ 🇷 🇪 🇶 🇺 🇪 🇸 🇹 🇪 🇩 : 🇳 🇴
a/n : Headcanons about what it would be like if Idia had a s/o like Robecca Steam from Monster High, I plan to do it for the other leaders and maybe do another one for Ever After High.
If you read it on another blog, I'm still the original writer, I just decided to move to another blog.
w a r n i n g : Mention of panic attacks and anxiety, "Death" suggested but not actually. English is not my first language, so sorry for any mistakes ( ╥ω╥ ).
You were raised by the same context as Ortho. Your father was a great mad scientist who lost his daughter, the "original" you.
You probably met because Idia went after your father to ask for help with Ortho and you were in the laboratory with him.
To say that Idia is beyond amazed by you is an understatement.
During the years he spent recreating Ortho, you were the only person he allowed to be by his side. Helping him and making sure he was well taken care of.
Idia is completely obsessed with you.
Everything about you fascinates him. How you function, whether you can feel emotions, your routine, your aesthetics. Everything.
100% made a steampunk costume for Ortho so you two match.
One of his favorite pastimes is watching you and Ortho interact. Just seeing you and his brother floating around and playing tag brings him peace and eases his anxiety.
He also loves checking up on you. After your father gave him permission, Idia likes to see what he can do better in his function. Although you look old on the outside, you have the best and most modern system on the inside.
Even when Idia went to NRC, you still stay in constant contact and you also visit him when you can.
Ignihyde students really appreciate it when you visit their dorm and always ask you questions. Which could make Idia jealous and lead to a long session of him cuddling with you in bed.
❝ Hey. I am truly grateful to have you by my side all these years. I-I don't know what it's like for you b-but I l-love you. ❞
Many people don't understand their relationship and sometimes Idia doesn't either.
Idia knows that he loves you with all his heart and knows that you also love him in your own way, but sometimes he has doubts.
You are not really human, although you have your own consciousness and can feel to some extent… you are not human.
and that's what Idia is afraid of.
Since he met you, sometimes you have "flaws".
Although it doesn't happen anymore and has become a rare occurrence, Idia vividly remembers the day you hung up.
Sometimes you need to "sleep" to recharge your energy but on this specific day you just switched off out of nowhere.
Your father thinks that some part inside you malfunctioned and then fixed it, making you fully functional again.
But Idia remembers the trauma it caused. For weeks he wouldn't leave your side for anything and stayed sleepless nights just to watch you recharge.
Even though you receive updates whenever there is something more advanced, Idia lived in constant fear and it is at these times when you need to stay by his side to prevent him from collapsing and avoid a panic attack.
Another fear he has is that you will lose the feeling of love and that along with that you will lose interest in him.
Once, during an anxiety attack, Idia told you about this fear and the answer you gave brought him to his knees.
You said that even if you impossibly lost the ability to have feelings, you would never EVER leave his side. Years ago, when he was mourning his lost brother and doing everything possible and impossible to bring him back from you, you drilled deep into yourself that you would never leave him.
Regardless of what would happen, you would be by his side until his "heart" stops beating.
Idia may or may not have proposed to you after that.
Overall, Idia considers herself very lucky to have you by her side. He loves you very much and he loves the family (you and Ortho) he has.
Idia knows that their relationship is not "conventional", but honestly, he wouldn't change anything and would do it all over again.

"Harsh Words" [Xiao, pt. 2]
Warning: Angst, mention of blood and injuries
A/N: I'm finally back with part 2! I've finally graduated college, got my school trip and I JUST CAME BACK FROM A FIVE DAYS TRIP/CONVENTION IN TORONTO IM SO DEAD. Anyway, here's finally part 2 of Harsh words with Xiao ( ｡ •̀ ᴖ •́ ｡)
Part 1 here!
Masterlist here!
“Have you heard about Y/N?”
“I haven’t seen the new employee in a while, I hope they're okay.”
“Their family must be worried…”
“Maybe they just went on a vacation!”
That’s what Xiao wanted to believe too. Maybe that you were simply gone on a vacation. It’s been about a week since Xiao had seen you. Since he got mad at you. Since he called you a burden. And oh Archons, he regretted it. Every single day, guilt was making his heart feel heavier and heavier. It was a feeling that the adeptus wasn’t familiar with. Why was his heart so heavy? He had purposefully tried to keep you away to avoid such feelings. He tried, but he failed. And he tried the wrong thing. Maybe instead of keeping you away, he should have been more understanding. If he were, maybe you wouldn’t be lost right now. Xiao sighed and shook his head to chase his thoughts away. But even then, I couldn’t help but feel the pit of anxiety growing in his stomach. He didn’t think twice before teleporting to the spot where he last saw you.
As his feet touched the ground, he was surprised by the strong winds that almost knocked him over. The weather had been horrible in the last week. And only now, was he realizing that you were probably fighting with this opponent as well. Without realizing it, Xiao started walking. He didn’t even know where his feet were taking him, they were moving on their own. A strong gut feeling was guiding his legs. Water was slowly creeping in his shoes, as the rain wouldn’t stop falling. He was getting cold. But what about you? If you were still out there, you were at nature’s mercy. And Xiao knew how cruel nature could be at time. Lost in his thoughts and worries, he did not notice the shiny metallic piece on the ground. He only felt it when his foot hit it. Xiao bent down, curious to inspect the object. His heart sank when he recognized it.
It was your weapon.
Or at least, it was a part of it.
It was clearly broken, metallic and wooden pieces scattered all around. It was as if your weapon had exploded. Xiao’s heart was pounding in his chest. There was your weapon, or at least what was left of it. But what had cause it to break like that?? And where were you. The next thing that made Xiao worry even more was the faint smell of blood. It wasn’t a lot, probably not enough for an ordinary human to notice it. But sadly, Xiao was used to its scent and could tell right away what it was and where it came from. Of course, the smell worried him horribly, but at least, he now knew that you were close.
The next thing that Xiao saw were droplets of blood on the ground. They were permanent red stains on delicate white petals, that proved that a fight had happened. There weren’t many droplets, they were barely noticeable in this weather. But Xiao was about to get sick. Now, he knew that you were injured. He tried to reassure himself. Maybe that it was monster blood, no? But deep down, he knew that it was human blood. And he had to hurry if he wanted to find you alive.
His breathe got stuck in his throat as your body came into view. Your unconscious form was lying on the ground, under a makeshift shelter. He could also see the wound on your leg that you had tried to cover with some of your clothes, that you had simply torn apart. At this sight, Xiao was quick to be by your side.
“Y/N! Can you hear me??” he asked as he pressed your shoulder, his voice filled with worry.
No reaction.
“Come on Xiao, you must be hungry, no?” Ganyuu asked. “… Well, actually I know that you don’t eat much, but you should rest a little”
His hands then reached your neck, trying to find a pulse. A sigh of relief left Xiao’s lips as he felt your heartbeat. It was weak, but it was there. Of course, it was way too soon to feel any relief. You were alive, but barely. And Xiao had to get you out of here immediately. He didn’t have much knowledge about human health and injuries, he couldn’t try to heal you himself. Not when he could hurt you. As he picked you up in his arms, you weakly groaned in pain. Xiao hated to see you hurt and to hurt you even more, but he was relieved to see you react to the stimulus.
“No way.” Xiao answered, shaking his head. He was sitting on a chair next to your bed, waiting for you to wake up. It had been almost two days since he found you, and you were still unconscious. Guilt was washing over him everyday, and he hoped you would wake up soon, so he could apologize. So he could tell you how important you were to him and how much he regrets saying those horrible words.
A raspy breath left your lips, but the boy didn’t notice.
“-ao…”
Did he hear it correctly it? Xiao snapped out of his thoughts and looked at you. You were awake, looking at him and trying to sit up in your bed. Seeing this, Xiao quickly got up of his chair to help you up.
“How are you feeling Y/N? Do you need anything? Are you hurt?”
Your hands were resting on the soft blankets of the bed, and you were looking at them. You didn’t dare to look up to Xiao. Soon enough, tears started to fall down from your eyes onto your hands and the bed sheets, leaving dark spots on the fabric. Seeing this, Xiao was certain that you were hurt.
“I’m going to get a healer Y/N, don’t worry I’ll be quick, I’ll be right ba—”
But as he started to get up from his seat, you grabbed his wrist. Xiao turned around to see that you were now sobbing. His own heart twisted in his ribcage.
“I’m sorry Xiao… I-I really am sorry…”
“Wh- What are you apologizing for Y/N?”
“For being a burden! I-I’m sorry Xiao I just wanted to help you, but I guess I just made things worst, didn’t I? I’m sorry, I-I really am… I understand if you’re mad, I’ll try to stay away from you as much as I can so I won’t be a burd-“
The mattress sank as someone sat beside you.
“I don’t want you to leave.”
You looked up to see Xiao, who was now sitting next to you.
“I don’t want you to leave Y/N… I’m sorry. I’m not good with humans and their habits… I thought that if you were to come to close to me you’d get hurt. But I was wrong, you got hurt because I was trying to keep you away.” As he said this, he tried to wipe your tears with his thumb. It was clumsy, but the attention warmed your heart.
“I’m sorry Y/N, I promise you’ll never be hurt again.”

Monster megafan and Laios superfan here, I'm really interested on Laios relationship to monsters. For example, I wonder if, given the chance to change his body, he would despite the repercussions. I do know what happens in Vol. 13 and past it, but I'm thinking like - he gets the chance to become a sustainable taur-chimera while remaining sapient, would he?
Those extra comics, like his description of chimera falin, his talk with the beastkin elf, and the one post-story one about what he wants to happen after his dead, have helped me understood more about how he views monsters and how he's interest in them, but it also gives me a lot of questions.
I know he's more interested in monster behaviour and ecologt than just monster looks from his conversation with the beastkin elf (forgot his name), not to mention everyone around him would have choice words for Laios if he showed up with four extra limbs... But maybe that new body changes his behaviour as well, and he'd like to document that too... And what sort of changes would he make to his body then... What's your opinion on this?
Beastman elf is called Lycion!
It is interesting to think about! I doubt that Laios would want to be a part human chimera if given the chance to change, seems like the escapism of wanting to become a monster is partly because he just wishes life were simpler (no need to worry about social conventions and all that he has trouble with) which is very relatable.
If being partly human was the only choice for being a little more monstrous maybe he'd take it? Unsure if he would be happy about it tho, maybe for a while but then he would get nitpicky about the anatomy if it wasn't something he designed himself. (Thinking about my own case I'd love to have cat ears and tail but if I had 4 ears (cat and human) I'd be very mad)
His reaction to Lycion is also relatable to be fair. The first time I saw furries my reaction was "Why do they have human hair? Why do they only have human looking boobs? And why only two? This isn't an accurate humanoid animal at all!" and I went to draw some "accurate" anthro abominations, I got better tho now I appreciate both.
I still think its funny how much he criticizes Thistles chimera making choices when he made that Mary-sue of monsters.

Watching Hannibal for the first time S2E9-E10
Let's take a moment to assess what in the Kentucky fried hell is going on in this story. So Far.
Hannibal knows that Will knows he's the Ripper. Will is trying to play the player by allowing Hannibal to manipulate him. Under the guise of Will accepting the fact that he and Hannibal are the same kind of monster. Everything Hannibal does to Will at this point in the story is to test him and get him to accept his true nature, so they can be friends. In reality, Will and Jack are working togother to catch Hannibal, so everything Will is doing is just an act. Hopefully.
I need a nice no-think palate cleanser after this. I better now have to use any brain cells when I watch Yellowjackets, or I'm coming after everyone who voted in the poll and backing them into a pie, I will then feed to their families. Just one giant people pie. I'll break hearts and world records.
Back on track episode 9
Long story short, someone takes their Freddie Fazbear cosplay too far. Makes a suit out of prehistoric cave bear bones, and goes postal on some random people. Hannibal then directs this person, who was a former patient of his to attack Will. Will beats the holy hell out of this guy and brings his dead body to Hannibal. Stating that now they're even after having both sent people to kill the other.
This episode opens with Jack and Hannibal having dinner togother. I feel like we need to acknowledge that Jack and Will are knowingly eating Human meat and organs. I would be so pissed if I was Jack's wife. I'm laying in a bed dying of cancer, and my man is out eating gourmet human meals with a serial killer. You are out of Will I'm leaving everything to my cat.
Margot and Will also meet in this episode. Margot is quick on the uptake and is just like "Wow our therapist is a psycho!" and Will is like, "Sister you do not know the half of it."
One of Will's dogs escapes in this episode and his little sausage body barely clears the snow he had to run through. It was much much-needed moment of levity.
Ep10
Pookie is going a little bit off the rails. He is devolving, and Hanni is super into it. I'm not, I want my sweet baby boy back, but I don't think he can hear me over the sound of his own psychotic breakdown. Will admits that he felt more alive than ever when he killed the bear suit guy, and Hannibal says that he should honor the bear suit guy. So Will mutilates the body and merges it with a cave bear skeleton in a museum. It...it's something...
Then Will is of course called in by Jack to analyze the crime scene Will Made. Will has a hallucination that the bear suit guy thanks him and that this event is a part of their becoming.
Also, I hate that there's more, Margot's bother, Mason, shows her his pig pit. Where he attends to feed living people to pigs, and he fully attends to feed her to said pigs, if she doesn't get in line.
Hannibal's right. Mason needs to die. Like yesterday. Unfortunately, Magot cannot just kill Mason, because all their family's wealth would go to the Southern Baptist Convention. So Hannibal tells her to go get pregnant then. Who does she pick to be the daddy, Will of Course?
What proceeds is the weirdest sex scene. David Lynch would be proud. Will knows this is Hannibal's doing because Margot already told him she's gay. This scene is intercut with Hannibal and Alana having sex and Will imagining Alana and Hannibal having sex. Except Will sees Hannibal as the goopy deer man. I'm really glad this show was produced for NBC and not HBO.
Some poor bastard had to put on a mask of Mads Mikkelsen's face. Plus other makeup and had to simulate sex on some other poor bastard. Imagine having to lay in a flesh-toned body suit, or worse be actually nude, and staring up at this lifeless replica of your coworker's face. Now add like twenty other people on set watching it happen. People left work that day changed forever and for the worse.
One more thing, one more. Freddie is getting suspicious of Hannibal. So she goes to Will's house. Goes to his shed, because she has more hair than brain, and finds a bunch of body parts in a freezer. Will shows up, and this encounter does not go well. We cut to Jack telling Will that Freddie is missing, and then Will and Hannibal go home and eat Long Pig.
I'll probably post again later. Stay safe, and don't sleep with goopy dear men. Do not investigate sheds, ever. You have a fifty/fifty shot of it being lawn care equipment or something from the pits of Hell.

I also got a photo with Alex Winter alongside my books being autographed AND I went to the Q&A and got to ask him a question! I asked, “I don’t know if you’ve read the prequel script, but—if they had approached you for that project, would you have reprised your role as Marko?”. Guys, HE DIDN’T KNOW THERE WAS A PREQUEL! T_T I was the one who got to tell him there was a prequel AND gave him the info to find it online!
P.s. I’ll post the photos of my non-TLB stuff in another post if anybody wants to see it too. I got some cool pieces 🖤
P.p.s. I learned that it actually hurts not to stim if I am THAT worked up 😂 I was trying so hard not to…

CW: mention of blood-death related stuff
Note: my philosopy class inspired me and its not actually good/hj
The complexities of the human mind often defy simple explanation. Among the myriad of puzzling phenomena, the paradoxical nature of a man who indulges in acts of violence while harboring a soft spot for a select few is particularly enigmatic.
Imagine a man whose very existence seems to defy conventional morality, a figure shrouded in the shadow of his own actions. He moves through life with a chilling indifference to the sacredness of human life, finding perverse pleasure in the act of taking it. Each victim is nothing more than a pawn in his twisted game, a means to satiate his insatiable appetite for power and control. For society, he is the epitome of evil incarnate, a threat to be feared and loathed.
Yet, in the midst of the darkness, there exists a faint glimmer of light, a fragment of humanity that refuses to be extinguished. In fact, this man, despite his propensity for violence, possesses a peculiar predilection for a few selected individuals, among whom you find yourself inexplicably included.
In the eyes of the world, you are nothing more than another potential victim, yet in his gaze you see a spark of something deeper, something almost akin to "love?". It is a disconcerting observation, because how can you reconcile the tenderness of his gaze with the brutality of his actions? How can love and violence coexist in the same heart?
For this man, the line between love and hate, between tenderness and cruelty, is blurred beyond recognition. In your presence, he finds comfort amidst the chaos, a respite from the darkness that threatens to consume him ever faster.
Yet even if you feel drawn to the warmth of his affection, you cannot ignore the chilling reality of his true nature. Because beneath the facade of tenderness hides a monster, a predator whose bloodlust knows no limits. Loving him means dancing on the precipice of madness, risking being consumed by the darkness that lurks in his soul or being thrown away after he gets fed up with you.
In the end, the riddle of the killer who has a thing for you remains unsolved, a mystery that defies any easy explanation.<3

AITA for accidentally starting an apocalyptic-like event to get back at my friends?
I’m aware the title sounds bad, but you don’t know my half of the story yet. I (M, Old man coded) used to be in an adventuring group with my friends, who I will call G (M, Ageless), S (M, Ageless), M (M, Ageless) and E (F, Ageless). We traveled all across the world, even into different dimensions! One day, we sent out on a quest to kill a dragon allegedly tormenting another dimension (the inhabitants seemed very neutral on their whole predicament). We eventually defeated the dragon but not by…conventional means. E invented a device that would allow us, among other things, to delete the dragon from existence. Seems weird but we rolled with it. But then, days later, I find out that all of my friends were planning to lie to the general public, saying that we bravely slayed the dragon in a combined effort with our super cool combat abilities! I was angry. I rightfully complained to them but they kicked me out of the group and erased my entire existence from their story in response! I was furious! They ended up becoming extremely famous off of their lies, three of them even going on to found towns all across the world. They were regarded as “heroes” and “living legends”. I, of course, became extremely resentful of them and writhed in my anger, so much so that I began to devise a plan. I would created a creature with the device E had made and sic it on a crowd of people at a convention in G’s town. I took some precautions, of course. The device allowed me to have full control over the creature and, in case of something going totally, horribly wrong, I crafted an elixir to immediately stop it. Everything was going according to plan. I scammed my way into getting all the ingredients I needed, built an evil lair underneath the main stage of the convention, and practice my grand speech to that bastard! That was until a band of idiot, naive fools (M, M, F, F, X, Young people coded) snuck into my evil lab and stole the elixir and replaced it with a fake bottle!! Apparently they were mad about me scamming their friend or whatever. Anyways, I sicced another creature on them and made my way up to the main stage, where G was having a QnA panel. I made my grand speech, brought my creation to life and continued on with my plan. G was standing there like a coward, barely doing anything as people fled in horror. After a while, I decided I had humiliated him enough and ordered my creature to retreat. But the creature refused and started mutating right before my eyes. I told it to retreat again, thinking it didn’t hear me, before going for my emergency elixir. But, as mentioned before, one of the idiots swapped it with a fake bottle and I didn’t notice because I wasn’t expecting them to do something so greedy and stupid. I threw the bottle at the creature and, surprise surprise, it did nothing! One of the other idiots still had the real thing on their hand but, at that point, the creature had too much time to react and managed to protect itself from the elixir’s effects. It began to mutate into this giant, three headed monster and started sucking people inside of itself with multiple tractor beams. I had no idea it could even do that, mind you!
Fortunately, none of the people inside the monster were seriously hurt and the whole ordeal was dealt with. The only lasting effects of the monster’s attack were some major property damage and the death of one of my friends and one of the idiots’ pet. The truth had a 50/50 chance of being revealed to the public and I was forgiven for my crimes and invited to live amongst the townsfolk in G’s town.
Do I regret my actions? Everyday, yes. Would I have done them if I knew what it would lead to? Absolutely not. I’m trying my best to better myself now and open up to a few of the aforementioned idiots, but I can’t stop myself from feeling exceptional amounts of guilt for everything. So, AITA?
