Anecdotally, one of the big differences between pre-Internet and post-Internet popular culture is a sharp reduction in misinformation about bizarre celebrity deaths.
Back when the Internet wasn't a thing and most people had very limited access to current information about anything that wasn't covered on the evening news, basically any time a notable celebrity dropped out of public view or a year or two, rumours would start circulating that they'd died in a bizarre accident – and sometimes, those rumours became accepted common knowledge, at least until the celebrity in question made their way back into the news cycle.
(There were weirdly specific recurring themes, too: I can think of like three otherwise-unconnected celebrities who "everybody knew" had died while attempting to jump a motorcycle over the Grand Canyon!)
One of the big consequences of Internet access going mainstream is huge numbers of people suddenly becoming aware that a bunch of celebrities they'd been led to believe had been killed in unlikely ways were in fact alive and well. For all that the Internet facilitates the spread of misinformation, it killed this one very particular type of popular misinformation stone dead.

I'm in such a weird place right now. I'm somehow both very hopeful for the future, while also feeling like it's all a breather before more pain, or that I don't have much time to enjoy it. I think my brain is so used to the constant overload of depression and cortisol for years on end that the slight improvement in my mood makes me think....I'm dying? Kinda like "oh this is just God and Fate taking pity on me and throwing me a bone before it takes me out like a dog. Makes sense". Kinda like a last meal. Sorry for this kinda dark post, my humors are unbalanced

do you ever think about how small a grave for a tiny would be? how quick the grass would grow back over the tiny plot, almost like it was never there at all. how with each visit, it gets harder and harder for the giant to find the exact spot. there’s a grave marker, but it was built by giant hands, so the grave marker is so big, while that tiny specific few inches of earth is so, so small.
#g/t#death tw#death mention#deaths been on my mind a lot. for personal reasons#not like i wanna die or whatever bc i dont. i just. keep losing things.#and the grief eases but itll never go away. and tomorrows gonna be so hard#sorry im having a rough day. if you have a pet hug them extra tight for me

Here’s some positivity for headmates relating to pets in some way!
Pets are often like family and are an important and cherished part of our lives. It makes sense that many folks may have some pets involved in their system as a result. Regardless to how pets or domestic animals relate to your system, if your system includes pets in any way, this post is for you!
🐶 Shoutout to systems with headmates who are introjects of pets owned by their system or their family!
🐠 Shoutout to systems who formed a pet headmate as a result of pet death or trauma that their pet went through!
🐴 Shoutout to systems with members who have pets in their headspace or inner world!
🐢 Shoutout to systems with pet headmates that were consciously created, arrived randomly in their system, or formed through spiritual means!
🐱 Shoutout to systems with pet headmates who are daemons or familiars!
🦜 Shoutout to systems who are struggling to cope while grieving the loss of a beloved pet!
🐹 Shoutout to pet headmates who have roles, so important jobs, and otherwise chip in to help their system function and thrive!
🐍 Shoutout to pet headmates who have trouble communicating and interacting with the other members of their system!
🐀 Shoutout to systems with headmates who are introjects of famous pets, fictional pets, or pets who they met but never owned!
🐰 Shoutout to pet headmates who appear as humans, are fictionkin, otherkin, or behave in ways that others wouldn’t expect of pets!
Pets truly are treasured and important members of our families and systems. If your system formed a new headmate due to gaining or losing a beloved pet, has introjects of pets, pets in your headspace, or interacts with pets in any capacity, please know that your system is valid and you are loved just the way you are!
We hope that all the pets inside and outside of your system can feel safe, comfortable, and happy, today and every day! Remember that you are so loved, and we feel honored to be able to share the plural community with you. Please enjoy a treat, a scritch, or some kind words today, be them from us, someone else in your system, or a loved one! Thanks so much for reading, and take care!

The "Why aren't you dead?!" line is always going to be so haunting to me. Like Elijah lets it slip that he knows he was going to kill Sydney. Whether he thinks death is immortal life in that way or whatever, it doesn't matter, he wasn't accidentally causing harm out of ignorant bliss or blinded by love and devotion; he had full intended to kill Sydney. And that's just kind of terrifying to me

ideal ways for me to die
1. old age, peacefully in my sleep
2. after a long and illustrious career i am at a rooftop gala hosted in my honor. i am wearing a beautiful gown, holding a glass of red wine, standing by the railing. a scorned lover approaches and, after a passionate spat, they push me over the edge of the building. the wine glass goes flying, splattering their outfit in red as a visual metaphor for the blood on their hands. as i descend my gown flies around me like two beautiful wings, a bird in flight. a photographer on the street manages to take a photo before i hit the ground and that photo wins the pulitzer. a new york times think piece is released regarding whether or not it's moral to profit off a photo of someone's death. the think piece also wins a pulitzer.
3. sex accident.

we still get immediately shoved out of our immersion in tv shows or films when The Girl find a dead body and immediately shrieks - we just don't find it realistic because we're pretty confident most people would gasp rather than shriek (i.e. sharp inhale rather than sharp exhale) and it also feels unnecessarily (and predictably) misogynistic too, as men encountering corpses almost never do the same on screen
also of course please do tell us if you've actually encountered a corpse unexpectedly, because tumblr is absolutely a place where some people have done this thing and we love a good anecdote
suddenly imagining "burst into song" as a potential response
edit: since lots of people are still responding to this (we were amazed at the huge response over a just 24 hour poll), we want to make it clearer that we were never saying "of course nobody shrieks", we were railing against how on screen, women always do in an over dramatic way, and when men do it's made fun of like they've emasculated themselves by shrieking (so it's clearly a deliberate misogynistic trope)
meanwhile of course some people do shriek, as clearly demonstrated not just by the nearly 11% in the poll, but by all the tags we got inundated with - the main responses seem to be: gasp, swear loudly, vomit, grunt or make some other kind of other inarticulate noise, and shriek
anyway, thanks for playing

Not to keep reliving trauma on main, but I'm getting weird deja vu from where my health was a few years ago and where it's at now. And most of it is revolving around Good Omens.
In May of 2019, we genuinely thought I was dying because I was dying. My organs were in the process of shutting down because my red blood cells were prematurely self-destructing and damaging my kidneys in the process, and I was rapidly coming to terms with the fact that I might not survive much longer. I'd fought the good fight, and I'd lost. Mostly due to medical neglect. And I was mad about a lot of things, but do you know what I remember from the traumatic blur I'm left with?
"I'm going to be so pissed if I die before Good Omens comes out."
I'd waited 20+ years at that point for something like a tv adaptation of Good Omens. Ever since I was a child and my dad read the book to me, and I fell in love with it. And here I was, mere weeks away from the TV release and on the verge of death.
Then like a miracle, a miracle that hinged on human compassion and a doctor being willing to listen to me, I was saved. Dragged back from the jaws of death by a relentless hematology department that refused to give up on me and ultimately saved my life. And a week later, I got to watch Good Omens propped up in my own bed, still weak, still ill, with my heart stuttering in my chest every time I laughed. And I remember thinking, "I did it. I got to see it."
That it's now it's 2023 and my health has tanked again. My organs are rebelling against me and no one seems to know why. But yet again, a few weeks before Good Omens is set to release, I find a doctor who listens to me and is doing all he can to help. Striving with the grim kind of determination that can only come from a place of compassion and care. Like my world is worth saving, and not just his.
Which is rather fitting, I think.
#good omens#death mention#chronic health tag#I'm not saying it's a sign#I'm just saying if Neil wants to keep writing more Good Omens content#I will not object

Movies where the lead actor did their own stunts are always either "the director forced them to stand in freezing water for fourteen hours a day while periodically throwing rocks at their head for the sake of 'authenticity' and they got PTSD and almost died" or "they insisted over the explicit objections of the production's insurance company that they be set on fire for real because it would 'help [them] understand the character's motivation'" – there's absolutely no middle ground.

Two people were talking and one went, "That's a funky dead guy on your necklace," to which the other replies, "That's Jesus Christ."

Freak of the week
Danny, in his human form, can take one hell of a punch.
Online he's a well known stuntman, doing absolutely batshit insane stunts that would 100% kill anyone else. He makes a point of flaunting the lack of a meta gene in his genetic tests he took for his audience, and is generally known to be juuuuuust slightly unhinged.
So he's in Metropolis, getting ready to do a stupidly dangerous stunt, when a mind-controlled Superman lands in front of him.
In front of a live stream.
So he can't go Ghost like he wants.
Instead, he turns to the camera and grins, all teeth and feral.
"Who wants to watch me eat a punch from Superman and live?"

If your sapphic ship has never tried to kill each other, or at the very least hated each other, is it really valid?

Pro-Palestine music as protest has been a thing for ages but nothing prepared me for "Hind's Hall" by Macklemore, which has both some great lyrics, some great commentary on protests at Columbia, and for which ALL PROCEEDS GO TO UNRWA.
You don't gotta like his music, but damn. Gotta admit Macklemore has been putting his money where his mouth is for months on this issue.
You can donate directly to UNRWA on their website.
It's not yet on streaming platforms but I heard a snippet in Democracy Now, and he posted part of it to Twitter/X.
I will disclaim that I disagree with the "not voting for Biden" thing, due to the fact that I personally believe that the American political system forces a Lesser Evil approach. I understand the intent, but I do disagree on a personal and political level.
