Theres A Hole In The Wall In My Brothers’ Room Because They Were Fighting (for Fun Not Anger) In There

ive been reading a book that basically explains how so-called “brain differences” between the genders is the result of gendered socialization and not the cause of it. i honestly expected the book to be very cis-centric but its actually the opposite, the author stresses that testimony from trans ppl is actually indispensable because we’ve, in a sense, “lived both experiences”

more cis feminists should have this mindset

It’s that time of year again! 💖🎃

Surviving IKEA

Never enter near closing hours.

Do not mispronounce IKEA product names. What you summon will haunt you.

Do not trust the arrows.

Walls shift and new ones appear out of nowhere.

Avoid, at any cost, staying after closing hours.

Do not ask employees for directions to the exit. Most of them have been trapped inside the building ever since they signed the contract. These once happy and good people have grown spiteful. Do not trust them. They want you to stay.

Make the bed after trying it out. It makes them less angry.

In case you are trapped:

Find John. He has lived in the store for six years, unnoticed.

Avoid eye contact with employees roaming around.

Hide whenever possible.

The ghost families living in the showrooms won’t betray you.

Do not steal any pencils. It will give away your position.

Avoid walking through the bed area. The creatures sleeping there won’t appreciate your presence.

When music from the 30s starts blasting through the speakers, Walter, the handyman, has noticed you and wants to drive his screwdriver through your ear.

Run.

He often shouts jokes chasing you followed by the laughter of IKEA personnel echoing throughout the store. Never let your guard down.

Open as many wardrobes as you can. Some of them are magic portals. Pray that you find one in time before he finds you.

Only go through a portal when absolutely necessary. What you find on the other side is often not pleasant.

If there is no other option, try pronouncing the name of the IKEA furniture closest to you. The ground will start to shake. Prepare yourself for the worst.

I think I went a bit overboard with this (◎-◎；)

Also I’m sorry for the low quality 

Please don’t repost without my permission, it ruins my soul! (´Ａ｀。)

some time ago i read good omens and thought “great book, but what if crowley were gay, a great writer, and somewhat sexually involved with aziraphale?” and, me being me, i wrote a poem on this concept entitled “What If An Angel And A Demon Fell In Love? Wouldn’t That Be Nifty?” and today it won me a hundred fucking dollars in a poetry contest. so take that neil gaiman

crying about cave paintings at 7:51 pm is a good exercise that i recommend

my roman empire is the subtle differences in appearance between jinx and (alternate universe) powder. powder is taller and has fuller cheeks compared to jinx because shes not malnourished. powder is tanner than jinx and has freckles because shes out in the sun more. powder's voice is deeper to signify that she has matured, while jinx's voice is high-pitched and raspy because of her constant screaming and the poor air quality in zaun. powder has prevalent smile lines, while jinx doesnt. the difference between jinx and powder is one night, one decision.

Who is Nico?

Each of the nine bishops match up with a pattern on the Blurryface cover. (turned the bishop’s image to the left. East is up now.)

Keons - HeavyDirtySoul // Savarver - Tear In My Heart // Listo - Ride // Lisden - Polarize // Reisdro - Doubt // Vetomo - Lane Boy // Andre - Fairly Local  // Nico - (supposedly Stressed Out) // Nills - Goner

The names are random chunks of lyrics. Example: Sacarver is taken from “she’s a carver”. All the bishops do follow this rule, all but Nico. There are no lyrics in Stressed Out that make “NICO”.

So the the first time a spotlight was shed on Nico was the cheetah gif with the phrase “U STILL DONT KNOW HIS REAL NAME DO U?” hidden between the letters N I C O in the place of spaces. We still don’t know Nico’s real name.

My two theories are: 

1. Nico is hiding his true name for some reason. 

2. Nico is replacing an old bishop. (Perhaps he overthrew the previous bishop. Or the old bishop died/stripped of his title and Nico was elected as the new bishop. I don’t know how Dema’s politics work lol)

I am very interested as to why Nico is called out specifically in “Nico And The Niners”. What makes him more significant than the other bishops? The only other bishop that has been name-dropped is Keons. Clancy wrote about Keons in a positive light, and the other eight he considered to be ruthless. (this could be due to Keons brainwashing his personal region or he’s possibly just not as bad of a leader as the other 8.Clancy seems to be too enlightened to believe Keons to be good if he really isn’t) 

Nico may be especially ruthless and a bit of a leader among the bishops. (whether he is a new bishop or has been around a long time will be an interesting detail in the story.) That’s why Tyler addresses them as “Nico and The Niners” instead of just The Niners. Nico is leading them in the chase. 

I am not sure if the cloaked man in the Jumpsuit video is even a bishop. He appears to be a direct representation of Blurryface. From his black fingers and face paint. The veil literally blurring his face, and of course the red cloak. If he is meant to be Nico (Stressed Out), we could take the line from the song “My name’s Blurryface” and perhaps that is Nico’s true identity? 

Probably not, but it’s something to think about. I have gone through all the lyrics of Blurryface and none of the songs explain Nico’s name. So whether Blurryface is just Nico or a combination of all the bishops’ control would be very intriguing. I’m a believer that Tyler doesn’t portray Blurryface, but simply portrays himself “possessed” by Blurryface. So that cloaked figure might be the real Blurryface in the flesh. 

Hopefully we can get more lore and letters to satisfy us till October 5th. I absolutely love the way they are telling this story and I can’t wait to read what everyone else has to say. Please add any thoughts you have! I have so many but the puzzle still isn’t complete! (totally call me out if you have plain and simple answers to any of this. I’m dumb and miss things in plain sight.)
