“
If you are a monster, stand up.
If you are a monster, a trickster, a fiend,
If you’ve built a steam-powered wishing machine
If you have a secret, a dark past, a scheme,
If you kidnap maidens or dabble in dreams
Come stand by me.
If you have been broken, stand up.
If you have been broken, abandoned, alone
If you have been starving, a creature of bone
If you live in a tower, a dungeon, a throne
If you weep for wanting, to be held, to be known,
Come stand by me.
If you are a savage, stand up.
If you are a witch, a dark queen, a black knight,
If you are a mummer, a pixie, a sprite,
If you are a pirate, a tomcat, a wright,
If you swear by the moon and you fight the hard fight,
Come stand by me.
If you are a devil, stand up.
If you are a villain, a madman, a beast,
If you are a strowler, a prowler, a priest,
If you are a dragon come sit at our feast,
For we all have stripes, and we all have horns,
We all have scales, tails, manes, claws and thorns
And here in the dark is where new worlds are born.
Come stand by me.

Okay but imagine this: Evil!Len has no memory of who he once was. He doesn’t even know his own name and when he was first found he barely knew how to speak or do pretty much anything how much memory he lost, he maybe could have been taken in by some evil group or something I dunno and they refer to him only as ‘Project Cold’ or ‘Cold’ and that’s what he knows. He doesn’t speak or anything and they don’t give him any info on his past or why he’s a meta with ice powers. He literally is confused all the time and he isn’t being evil because he’s just plain old evil, but maybe he’s being controlled and doesnt know any differently because his lack of memory?? But maybe he remembers like one person, like Lisa or his mom. Maybe not by name but by face, and he atleast remembers that they are his sister/mom.
Extra ColdWave addition: 'Project Cold’ is a trigger word for him to go all soldier mode, but Mick is able to snap it out of it somehow. Whether he say something he’s said in the past that Len unconsciously recognizes or he just simply is like “…. Snart?” And Len just snaps out of it.
I just really love the idea of not only amnesiac!Len but also him acting all pure and curious all the time and the first time he speaks it’s to Mick and it’s really soft and quiet like please I want this–

Every time I recommend Discworld to someone, I get asked “where should I start?” There are several reading order guides floating around the internet, but they just give the order of each series, they don’t give you any information on which to base a choice of starter novel. For that, use this handy (and very biased, okay, I admit it) flow chart!
For everyone one who has been asking ME where to start (I’m sorry I don’t reply to you all I get asked this so often) this is an exceedingly good chart.

Star Wars/The Mummy fusion fic. Sort of crack.
=My love.=
Already on edge from the utterly insane events of the past few days, Padme shrieked and spun, facing the source of the scratchy voice. It wasn’t one of the idiot adventurers playing a joke on her. Somehow, the undead mummy, Skywalker, had found her.
EVERYONE READ THIS!
This is amazing and giggleworthy, and I kinda want to collapse at the sheer *feels*, applaud nonstop, and beg the author to grace us with their presence, because they deserve ALL PRAISE AND THANKS FOR THIS LITERARY GEM, BRAVO!
(why yes, The Mummy IS my all-time favorite movie, why do you ask?)

So. This is another donation request post. I hate making these but we keep getting slapped with new costs and no way to make up the difference. I have been unemployed since this July, and they took away our benefits several months ago because me and my brother were making “too much” money to qualify anymore, without taking into consideration that I was per diem and was not making the same (the maximum amount if I worked every day, all my hours, which was impossible due to the very nature of my job), every month. So it has been very difficult just to make ends meet, all our money goes towards rent and food and cat food and litter. Our cats probably eat better than us, cats are the priority after all.
Today we come to find out that they’re increasing our rent by over $100 a month, and we have to pay retroactive fees of nearly $1,000 on top of the increase. There was absolutely no warning, and my mom just walked into my room crying to let me know. We’ve barely been making it month to month, so even a hundred dollar increase is a lot. That, plus utility bills, food, and miscellaneous bills equals way more than we can afford. We also happen to live in a neighborhood that is going through heavy gentrification, so facing the fact that the landlords want us gone so they can rent it out at four times the price to Columbia students or young white families hurts. We’ve literally lived here almost 30 years. This is the first place I came to right after I was born, in the hospital ten minutes away. I’m terrified of losing our apartment because our neighborhood has suddenly become appealing to others. This community is where I feel comfortable, where I feel I belong. I am Dominican-American, I don’t want to leave Washington Heights!
I’ve been pursuing all options open to me, but everything takes so long and there aren’t really many job opportunities available to me. I suffer from severe depression and anxiety that manifests mainly as a very barely contained (and often not contained at all) agoraphobia and social anxiety, so finding a new job has been going about as well as you can imagine. Along with that, my mother also suffers from depression and other chronic physical illnesses that has made it difficult for her to work (though she’s been going to school again, which is awesome). The other people in my house are my grandparents who are in their 80s and also have chronic illnesses, and my brother. Scrounging together money for just the bare minimum every month is extremely difficult for us, as you can see.
I mean, this is my bank account at the moment so it’s kind of impossible for me to help my own family, which kills me…
That’s $1.45, and I have no income coming in.
(Also, as an aside, my teeth are fucked up, my crown fell out and I only have a tooth…. stump.. thing from my root canal in that molar’s place now. Which has a big hole in it now since the blue filling stuff is falling out. I’ve avoided going to the dentist for over six months despite this, because I can’t afford a new crown or any new procedure I might need and avoidance is clearly the best solution to health problems. That was Sarcasm. But it’s gotten so bad I need to suck it up and see what the damage is before it gets worse. So anything I get would also help me not have my teeth rot out of my head.)
Anyway, the gist of it all is that we’re getting screwed over with our rent and we owe money all of a sudden even though we’ve paid our rent on time every month. We really cannot afford this sudden cost when we can barely afford to eat anything besides ramen (which, as a family of people that suffers from high blood pressure, is an awesome food staple, right?) and rice and beans. I would appreciate any thing anyone can give, even if it’s a dollar. Even if it’s fifty cents. I am so desperate and we are on the edge of losing everything every month. We cannot take hits like this. So I would all appreciate it and thank anyone who can help with all my heart.
