Everybody Straight Till The Narrative Foil Walk In

Btw- spoilers for bungou stray dogs chapter 109

This is what I've been working on for the past week, since I wanted to post it all at once,

It took longer than I planned, but it was worth it.

After seeing tumblr panic after chapter 109 dropped I couldn't get that one scene from zootopia out of my head, and then it just spiraled from there.

:D

just a fun lil thing im toying with, not complete or nothun :)

“In 1984, when Ruth Coker Burks was 25 and a young mother living in Arkansas, she would often visit a hospital to care for a friend with cancer.

During one visit, Ruth noticed the nurses would draw straws, afraid to go into one room, its door sealed by a big red bag. She asked why and the nurses told her the patient had AIDS.

On a repeat visit, and seeing the big red bag on the door, Ruth decided to disregard the warnings and sneaked into the room.

In the bed was a skeletal young man, who told Ruth he wanted to see his mother before he died. She left the room and told the nurses, who said, “Honey, his mother’s not coming. He’s been here six weeks. Nobody’s coming!”

Ruth called his mother anyway, who refused to come visit her son, who she described as a “sinner” and already dead to her, and that she wouldn’t even claim his body when he died.

“I went back in his room and when I walked in, he said, “Oh, momma. I knew you’d come”, and then he lifted his hand. And what was I going to do? So I took his hand. I said, “I’m here, honey. I’m here”, Ruth later recounted.

Ruth pulled a chair to his bedside, talked to him

and held his hand until he died 13 hours later.

After finally finding a funeral home that would his body, and paying for the cremation out of her own savings, Ruth buried his ashes on her family’s large plot.

After this first encounter, Ruth cared for other patients. She would take them to appointments, obtain medications, apply for assistance, and even kept supplies of AIDS medications on hand, as some pharmacies would not carry them.

Ruth’s work soon became well known in the city and she received financial assistance from gay bars, “They would twirl up a drag show on Saturday night and here’d come the money. That’s how we’d buy medicine, that’s how we’d pay rent. If it hadn’t been for the drag queens, I don’t know what we would have done”, Ruth said.

Over the next 30 years, Ruth cared for over 1,000 people and buried more than 40 on her family’s plot most of whom were gay men whose families would not claim their ashes.

For this, Ruth has been nicknamed the ‘Cemetery Angel’.”— by Ra-Ey Saley

warning! boobies

this one goes out to @caelanglang we've been afflicted by the same brainworms

We need to talk about Manfred von Karma as a villain because quite frankly I am obsessed with how good his writing is. “Haunts the narrative” no this man IS the narrative. His shadow looms over the entire game before we even know about him and his presence lingers long after he’s gone. He makes one decision that sets the entire trilogy in motion. Every main character is directly or indirectly molded by his hands and his decisions, his effect on the legal system is a curse that clings to the characters for the entire series, and he only shows up in one singular case to serve absolute cunt and then die in prison. Who the fuck is doing it like him.

Dazai and Chuuya’s relationship across alternate universes

basically me doing coloring and style exploration with soukoku as my muses

In a universe they are…

Young demigods, each carrying unwanted burdens and expectations—unfavored by the Fates. (the song of achilles kind of angst and hades game kind of comfort)

In another,

They are the most wanted criminals of the sea, yet no one seems to have information on the real names of the notorious “Demon Pirate” and the legendary “Stormbringer”……aside from ‘mackerel’ and ‘slug’…(the only universe where dazai gets the fancy hat title)

In one universe,

They are the most feared detective duo of Yokohama. Despite their violent history, Dazai Osamu and Nakahara Chuuya now set their hearts and abilities on saving people and protecting orphans. (and are father figures to several of them including the wanted weretiger)

In yet another universe,

They are world class figure skaters, known to be bitter rivals by the media. Famous for their own record breaking programs and titles, their rivalry would always be the main attraction of every competition. (only for them to announce something completely unexpected during their last olympic gala performance: their engagement)

And perhaps in another one, or in a timeline they’ve live through in the past…

They are warriors of the sword in their ancient homeland. A fearsome duo—powerful enough to defeat armies; cunning enough to end dynasties of schemes. (yet a tragic time they lived in, a tragic ending they got)

My dealer: got some straight gas 🔥😝 this strain is called "the mithraeum" 😳 you’ll be zonked out of your gourd 💯

Me: yeah whatever. I don't feel shit.

5 minutes later: dude I swear I just saw Cytherea’s corpse under the bed

My fellow lyctor Mercymorn pacing: god is lying to us

wake up babe, new reason to ditch FANDOM/Wikia just dropped

Previosuly

corporate monster infested with ads which devoured Gamepedia and other companies (feat me on their shit policies, SEO and migration process)

turning entire articles into ads if paid enough

limited functionality preventing admins to even fight vandalism

merging and removing of LGBT+ wikis (and forced domain change for educational [think serious] wikis to "fandom")

official wiki status has no meaning in controlling shit

very much censorship (same good ol' allergy to adult stuff)

gets paid by US Navy to advertise their events (one, two)

Alternative free wiki hostings (aka wiki farms)

Miraheze - started in 2015, non-commercial - no ads and runs on donations, wide array of MediaWiki features, wide array of allowed types of wikis and content, much autonomy for projects, custom domain and private wiki options

wiki.gg - started in 2022 by former Gamepedia staff, limited to video games, accent on involvement of game devs and thus hosting official wikis, has ads for anons (but only of games having wikis here)

Telepedia - started in 2022, limited to entertainment (although might allow other themes upon review), has ads for anons, replicates Miraheze structure

WikiTide - started in 2023, no ads and runs on donations (but also tied w/ premium version called WikiForge), largely replicates Miraheze but has stricter content policies, custom domain option

Other free options I'm aware of are either too limited in allowed content or are very outdated/unstable in technical department to recommend here (or in case of Neoseeker - I'm completely unfamiliar with it, and can't say anything about it), but you still can check them out, alongside paid hostings, on this MediaWiki page.

If you (or your community) are brave and dedicated enough you can go with self-hosted MediaWiki instance (aka independent hosting), like JoJo Wiki (who started on Wikia and succeed at overtaking the SEO) or NIWA wikis. This option, of course, requires funding and technical knowledge, but it's still very much possible.

How to find existing alternative/independent wikis

try to use "-fandom" filter for search query in Google, or use other search engines like Bing or DuckDuckGo

Indie Wiki Buddy browser extension - it modifies search engine results and performs redirects based on its centralized list of independent wikis; a new indie wiki has to be requested/submitted to get added [ Firefox / Chrome ]

Redirect to wiki.gg browser extension - same as IWB but for wikis moved to wiki.gg (as I understand, works automatically without dedicated listing) [ Firefox / Chrome ]

(simple) Redirector browser extension - in case the wiki is neither on IWB or wiki.gg, and it doesn't filter out search results - only performs redirect on whatever you get; a redirect has to be set manually - see this tutorial [ Firefox / Chrome ]

Fuck FANDOM, support real people, support indie wikis
