Unnatural Nature

The Sea

There resides the sea,

With frothing insanity,

Beckoning sailors

Just playing “Hurricane” while it’s raining so hard outside i can’t see shit lmao

Miss Joker

Miss Joker, you’re funny! You put smiles where you go!

So when the days are tough, you continue to smile,

And it is crazy to think someone is your foe,

But when I said this, why is your smile not so bright?

Miss Joker, are you trying out gallows humor?

Your puns and jokes and tricks are very dangerous,

And it is not crazy to think you like horror,

When I said this, why do you look mysterious?

Miss Joker, can you stop? You’re talking to yourself!

You chatter at invisible audiences,

And all of your former fans have already felt

That you’re falling into a world of craziness!

Miss Joker, you’re no longer funny…stop laughing!

You make jokes to the wall, no longer an inch sane,

And as you are laughing and joking, you’re crying…

Oh, pity Miss Joker in her circus of pain

Barely a few minutes of ao3 being down for maintenance, and I’m dying lmao q_q

I feel like Poseidon would just let Odysseus go out of spite.

“Do you really fucking think you can threaten me?” —Poseidon to Odysseus maybe.

& Maybe, thru this, Poseidon gets the last laugh. Because no matter what Odysseus can even do in the future, he’ll never get true vengeance against Poseidon. After all, a recurring theme in Greek mythology is basically gods acting like assholes & getting away w/it

My sheer disappointment in not seeing Wolverine/Deadpool fics increase exponentially has led to me staring at my laptop and refreshing the page every minute or so

My Peace

Move—ignore the phone.

Prioritize. Check deadlines!

Work, and then go gym.

Relax later; evening’s mine.

Who dares rob me of my peace?

Burning

The sun always smiles,

Giving light to those below,

While burning them all

If Belos actually "won" and ways humans would respond

Now, if some dude claimed he's from the 1600s and just eradicated all witchkind and demonkind from the "Demon Realm," ofc I'd think he's crazy. But, thinking back to that episode with Vee and Jacob Hopkins, I don't Belos being cuckoo would be unanimous in everyone's head.

Yup, he's a crusty dusty creepy freak, although let's say he honors the deal with Luz and spares the squad. He goes through the portal, drags Hunter and co. kicking and screaming, with Luz beside him.

Gravesfield is a small place, so Belos goes around proclaiming that he saved humanity, and here, he brought proof.

They're teenagers, so why would Belos say they're pure evil? That should be the thought going through every human, right?

Right?

It comes down, I think, to the fact these teenage witches are seemingly overpowered. This time, most people wouldn't think like Belos did, focusing on religion only.

Consider how Willow COULD (but ofc wouldn't) strangle someone with a house plant. Consider how Gus can theoretically sneak in anywhere, fooling security cameras. Consider how Amity can use abomination goo, or in the human realm, mud or earth. Consider how Hunter is a child soldier who can probably kill a person. Consider how Vee can copy people, which she did with Luz.

That's scary.

To top it all off, they have Palismen. They're not guns, but some people in this theoretical scenario might argue they're somewhat the same. Palismen can fire spells, both offensive and defensive.

(Some might say they're vehicles, since Palismen can carry their witches "everywhere." Since Dana said the BI is as large as Vermont, then in this case the Palismen could do what airplanes couldn't: fast and efficient travel. Lawyers would scream it's a violation of aviation laws.)

No teenager should have this power. Right? In the BI this is normal. YET in the Human Realm this is not the case. Witches and demons, then, would be considered a security risk in all countries. Heck, world leaders might thank Belos for getting rid of most of these..."risks."

(I believe, too, prominent world leaders would want...very, very deadly tools. Willow, Hunter, Gus, Amity, Vee--they all fit the bill. Five teenagers with no laws protecting them. )

There would be a faction of people who don't give a shit about security, instead wanting to learn about the Boiling Isles and its inhabitants more. Yet, in this scenario, they might "dehumanize" witches and demons, viewing them as a sort of species they want to learn more about. Historically, there were HUMAN ZOOS. Wtf, yeah? How can humans do that to another?

Now *coughs*, back to religion. I won't be specific about which religions, but some I read about actively denounce witchcraft. Given the human idea of witchcraft, would the BI's "witchcraft" count as the same thing? It depends on how a religion defines witchcraft, but I'm certain most would say nay to magic in general. So, there's another bunch of people who are going to be glad Belos did what he did.

Buuut, there is a silver lining, I suppose. I'll use Caleb as reference, even though he barely had a minute of screen time. During the memory portrait with Caleb and Evelyn, he's either looking on with apprehension or fascination in regards to the Demon Realm. Given he was once a witch hunter and fell in love with a witch, it does show time would do wonders to acceptance.

So, yeah. Time is key.

In short: humans would be shit scared of witches, but they could change their minds about witch and demon kind. Probably they'd cancel Belos. Arrest him. Or whatever works.

Yet, again, as others in this fandom pointed out, Belos is terrifying because he's realistic. So, there would be a lot of similar people who'd share Belos's sentiments either due to prejudice, fear, or religion.

This is purely a "what-if" scenario, apologies for this ramble XD

Anywhoo, how's everyone doing so far? I hope y'all are doing great, I swear I'm overwhelmed by projects right now XD

Sir Liar

Sir Liar, how do you manage to be charming?

How can you fool your friends and victims easily?

Oh, you’re a warlock with that magic you’re spinning,

If a skeptic accuses you, you smile sweetly!

Sir Liar, looks like you’re losing your memory,

You’re starting to forget to weave the truth with lies

As you’re begin to forget your identity,

So you do your best to cover it with a smile!

Sir Liar, you’re looking a bit queasy and pale,

And why would a liar ask his friends for the facts?

Your tuxedo’s wrinkled, have you been drinking ale?

You’re losing victims ‘cause you’re forgetting your act!

Sir Liar, you’re walking without your great magic!

Everyone scrambles to hide from you, the faceless!

All say, “He’s a man cursed by a witch, how tragic!”

This warlock can’t speak magic no more, what a waste!
