Black Mirror - Tumblr Posts
You pull a face, and poke it towards the stage, and we la-di-dah, we sing and dance and tumble around. And all you see up here, it’s not people, you don’t see people up here, it’s all fodder. And the faker the fodder the more you love it, because fake fodder’s the only thing that works anymore. It’s all that we can stomach. Actually, not quite all. Real pain, real viciousness, that we can take. Yeah, stick a fat man up a pole. We laugh ourselves feral, because we’ve earned the right, we’ve done cell time and he’s slacking, the scum, so ha-ha-ha at him! Because we’re so out of our minds with desperation, we don’t know any better. All we know is fake fodder and buying shit. That’s how we speak to each other, how we express ourselves, is buying shit.

Thorquill Black Mirror!AU
What if marriage therapy, but too much?
Thor Odinson and Peter Jason Quill have been married for just over a year, but during that time, their relationship began to suffer as both men often had disagreements that either led to vicious verbal arguments or physically violent brawls. Both men possessed explosive tempers and unyielding levels of pride, but they also knew that they loved each other so much and refused to even consider the idea of getting a divorce.
Plus, their chemistry was electric and insatiable as far as their sex life was concerned.
At the advice of a relationship counselor, Thor and Peter mutually agreed to sign up for Reconcile.
Developed by an international team of behavioral scientists and psychologists, Reconcile is a rehabilitation program where couples experiencing severe problems in their union would be sequestered in an isolated and undisclosed location. They would be housed in a controlled environment with the appearance and amenities of a typical domestic smart home powered and monitored by an artificially intelligent assistant.
The individuals who signed the contract stating that they have given their full consent to participate in Reconcile are required to perform a series of simulations varying in emotional or psychological intensity that must be completed within a specific time frame which is determined by the AI assistant after gathering the data collected from the subjects via an in-depth pre-screening examination and several interview sessions.
The primary objective of the program is to improve the compatibility level of a given pairing at the end of the testing phase and will only be released from the premises if they are able to reach a match percentage of at least 99.8 percent.
While this unorthodox system of relationship therapy boasted a high success rate and backed by supporting testimonials from people who graduated from the treatment, it was not without its fair share of controversy from critics who viewed Reconcile as an unethical and dystopian torture experiment.
But Thor and Peter were desperate and wanted to save their marriage no matter what it takes.
And off they went to their designated residence.
What could go wrong?
+++
Hello, gentlemen.
I am THANOS: a Theraputic Helper And Nuanced Operating System. I will be your AI assistant for the duration of your stay within your assigned homestead.
Welcome to Reconcile.
You are here because you understand the importance of preserving and treasuring your relationship with your significant other.
You are here because you recognize the need to become better not just for each other, but for yourselves.
You are here because you acknowledge the necessity of having a healthy and loving partnership that will thrive in the long-term.
You are here because you cannot live with the failure of a broken relationship. And where has that brought you? Here with me.
Worry no more.
You have come to the right place.
Every interaction you make with your partner throughout this journey will be monitored closely and provides my algorithm with valuable information.
I will gain continuous insight as each participant progresses through every simulation designed specifically to ascertain your strengths and weaknesses, both as a couple and as individuals.
The path to get to your ultimate goal of Reconciliation is not an easy one.
You might scream. You might cry. You might laugh. You might want to die.
But remember that the hardest choices require the strongest wills.
Reconcile knows what it’s like to be in your shoes. To feel so desperately that you are right in every petty argument, yet to fail nonetheless. It’s frightening. Turns the legs to jelly.
But we ask you: to what end?
Dread it.
Run from it.
Destiny arrives all the same.
And now it’s here.
Thor Odinson and Peter Jason Quill, based on your preliminary screening results during the application process, I have determined that you will remain in confinement for a period of three years, under which time you are both required to complete exactly one thousand simulations together as a unit in order to increase your low compatibility level which is currently at 16.9 percent.
The system will shred your old destructive patterns down to its last atom. And then, with the data you’ll be providing me during your simulations, it will create new productive habits.
It is not what you will lose but only what you will be given: a splendid relationship.
Failure to comply with the requirements of the regimen or attempting to leave the facility before the end of the timeframe will result in severe consequences.
Please observe strict compliance and have faith that the program will work wonders for your relationship.
Have no fear.
Your futures are bright.
Both of you are in good hands.
Rest assured, everything happens for a reason.
And at the end of it all, you will be perfectly balanced, as all things should be.
Please proceed to your respective quarters so you can settle in and wait for further instructions.
I hope you’ll make yourselves right at home, and thank you for choosing Reconcile.

Maybe what's taking Season 3 so long is that parts of it are going to be interactive. Netflix seems to like flirting with the idea of interactive tv shows and even made an interactive Black Mirror episode.
Interesting
The Rory brain rot won. I’m no longer Gyrowife now
I’m Rory Culkins husband
I started watching Black Mirro and it made my head explode on some depression and deep thoughts that makes me scared (btw this is why I'm not posting that much)
NOT IN CONTROL ↝ stefan butler x reader
prompt ▹ The reader is in somewhat of same situation as stefan, having the feeling as if she is being controlled.
warnings ▹ not much, female!reader, cussing, implied drug use, lowercase intended, and some violence. (if not in this chapter, it will be in the next ones.)
this is part 1 | part 2
﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋
your alarm went off at 6:00 am, you gasped trying to catch your breath from the dream you just had. This happened often for the past month or so, you could never remember the dream fully. it was almost always something normal happening to you.. the only thing that stood out of place was that peoples faces were always blurred out and their voices slightly muffled so you could never pinpoint who it was in your dream.
wake up | sleep in.
you went to reach for the ‘snooze’ button but something stopped you from doing so. slowly you sit up and rub your face to wake up.
you wanted to sit there on your bed and try to think over your dream so you weren’t left in the dark yet again, but you felt like something was pushing you along to get moving and start your day. it seemed like you could never have time to yourself anymore. it was absolutely bonkers. was it too much to ask of yourself to just sit and be alone with your thoughts for a few fucking moments?
the annoying thought in the back of your head got the best of you when you got up, your feet hitting the cold floor as you made your way to the kitchen.
i could eat, i think i have enough milk for cereal today.
eat cereal | grab an apple
you went to reach for the milk in your fridge but you suddenly stopped, your eyebrows furrowed in confusion as you tried to push yourself to grab the milk. no matter how hard you tried you couldn’t reach it. you let out a frustrated breath and slammed the fridge shut, grabbing an apple as you passed by the table on your way to the bathroom.
what the FUCK is going on? can i not even enjoy some cereal?
your mind raced as you bit into the green apple, your face scrunched up at the taste. why did you even have that in your house? the flavor is horrid.
oh yeah, you felt like you needed to get it a day or two ago at the store. lovely.
you swallowed the chewed up piece and tossed the rest of the apple in the little trash can near the sink. without any hesitation you started to brush your teeth, then your hair.
you glanced down at your watch and saw that it read 6:30 am. already? you needed to get moving or else you’d be late again. walking to your closet you had two options, a simple long sleeved shirt with jeans or a short sleeved shirt, jeans, and a baggy orange jacket.
the jacket, i haven’t worn it in a while.
long sleeved | baggy jacket
you grabbed the jacket without any trouble, thank god.
after getting dressed the rest of the morning went smoothly, you put on a little bit of makeup before leaving the house and began your walk to work. it wasn’t far so it didn’t bother you, plus traffic is a pain.
you managed to walk in right at seven, five minutes early.
elevator | stairs
biting your bottom lip out of habit you walked into the elevator and pressed the floor number where you worked. you hands stuffed themselves into your jacket pockets as you looked down at the ground, your stomach growling in hunger from only having a bite of an apple this morning.
“h-hold the elevator!” a voice called out as the doors began to shut, quickly your foot shot out in the middle of the two doors, making them stop before they even came close to closing. the boy who seemed to be your age, perhaps two years older stepped in next to you and smiled shyly. he went to press a button but stopped, he must be going to the same floor as you.
odd.. usually choices like that take a little bit to happen.. that one seemed right away, normal even.
you got snapped out of your thoughts when the boy started to speak again, when you looked at him to pay attention you could feel your cheeks heat up a bit.
he’s cute.
“uh, thanks.. f-for holding the elevator i m-mean!” he stuttered, clearly nervous for many reasons. you couldn’t seem to tell why though. all you did was smile and nod softly, taking note or his eyes. definitely one of his many beautiful features.
“yeah, not a problem. i like your jacket by the way.” you smirked, seeing that you were wearing the same jacket, yet his was yellow. it fit him, the color.
he looked down quickly at his jacket as if he forgot he wore it today then looked back up at you with a toothy smile, it seemed genuine.
“thanks, i like yours too..” he spoke, looking like he wanted to say more but the elevator came to a stop as the doors started to open. he hesitated for a few seconds before gesturing for you to get off before him.
you grinned and stepped out only to see your boss waiting by the elevator. his face lit up when he saw the boy in the yellow jacket and went to shake his hand. “ah steven! how are you?” he greeted warmly and quite excitedly.
“uh— its stefan actually..” he replied, glancing back over to you for a moment before you realized you were already looking at him. (more like admiring)
you swallowed and quickly looked away. you muttered a to yourself about how dumb you may have looked while walking over to colin’s desk that was right across from yours. he seemed to be working on his newest game, Nohzdyve.
“how’s it going ritman? making yet another hit game?” you teased in a friendly manner before hopping into your own chair infant of your computer. colin looked up from his screen and simply gave a lazy thumbs up.
“it’s going alright L/N, now that you’ve found the bug it’s been much easier. i owe you one.” he spoke as he pushed up his glasses and finished typing a code needed for his game right as stefan and mr. boss man walked up to his desk.
“colin, this is stefan. he’s going to be showing me a demo for his new game. he’s also expressed his admiration for your games.” mr thakur spoke while putting his hand on a smiling stefan’s shoulder.
you simply rolled your eyes and smiled to yourself, typing away at your computer. what you did here was make the graphic art for most of the upcoming games made here, but you did also have a great talent for coding. colin often used your talent for help with his own games.
as you were working on the ideas for cover art that might be used for Nohzdyve, you got snapped back into reality.
“i couldn’t have done most of my games without the help of Y/N over here, well i could have, but not as quick.” colin grinned, gesturing towards you.
“ha ha ritman. very funny, piss off. but i’ve been somewhat acquainted with stefan. nice lad.” you smiled, snapping and giving him classic finger guns with your left hand.
stefan’s smile grew as his ears turned a light shade of pink. “th-thanks y/n.”
before you could say anything else colin let out a short laugh, almost a scoff. when you looked over at him with a questioning look he just smirked and turned in his chair to face thakur and stefan.
“y’know, i don’t think i need anymore assistance with my game, y/n has already done her part with my game. perhaps she can work with stefan if everything goes well.” colin suggested nonchalantly. wingman of the year.
agree | disagree
yes! YES! why aren’t i agreeing outloud? i don’t want to say no!
she clenched her jaw and held back the urge to say no to colin’s idea. she looked up at stefan and saw that his smile dropped and he looked somewhat confused.
you pushed with everything in you to get an answer that you liked out, for once it worked.
“i..i say yes, i’m free and i’d like to work with you.” you managed to get out, not seeming too forced.
after a few seconds he nodded, biting his nails what seemed to be out of habit. “sure, th-that’d be great..” he smiled, seeming suddenly calm.
“right then, should we get moving?” colin interrupted as he stood up and patted stefan’s shoulder, practically marking the other two men move to the office.
stare at stefan | get to work
y/n watched as they left, before the door closed she couldn’t take her eyes off of stefan.

DUMB MARKS ↝ colin ritman x reader
prompt ↝ the reader has her soulmark like everyone else, one part is meant to represent her while the other part is meant to represent her soulmate. the reader chooses to wear long sleeves whenever they can, not sure if they are ready to meet her soulmate.
warnings ↝ cussing, fem!reader, and that’s it i think hehe
———————————————
you tugged at your sleeve of the yellow hoodie you wore often. your head was pounding from the stressful day at work and at home. your roommate was being a jerk and so were your co workers.
“late coffee, get it while it’s hot!” you announced to the remaining people at the work place, it was ten pm after all. your bedtime was starting in thirty minutes. sleep is important!
after handing four people their coffee you moved over to colin ritman, easily one of your favorites here.
“coffee for the bleach blonde boy, don’t spill it.” you winked teasingly. there was a close call the last time he was around his computer with coffee in his hand.
“yeah yeah, piss off girlie.” he deadpanned, typing a few times before stopping and facing you.
“why is it that you always serve the coffee but you never have any for yourself?” he questioned, your eyes flickered down to his left wrist where a bandage covered it. his soulmark.
“that’s an odd thing to point out, but i suppose you’re right. coffee is for the weak.” you spoke, a smirk tugging at your lips. even with the joking and conversations you had with colin you always thought about the bandage wrap around his wrist.
“what’s up with the bandage?” you asked, playing with your necklace without much thought, nervous habit.
“oh this old thing? as you probably thought, it’s my soulmark. i’m not sure if i’m ready to meet my one and only yet.” he scoffed, leaning back in his chair and looking at your covered wrist. “what about you? already found your true love?” he questioned, pushing up his glasses as he spoke.
you only laughed at the last bit, shaking your head and leaning against his desk. “nope, same reason as you. i don’t want to end up with some bloke i know nothing about.” your hands removed themselves from your mouth to pull down your sleeve covering your own mark.
“find anyone close yet?” he asked, running his hand though his hair. he had decided to stop working for the day since he had already gone over the usual limit for himself.
what ‘close’ meant with soulmates and the marks was when you would share one of the two marks in common. but it was only meant to be if both of you had the exact same ones.
you had pac man and a necklace that resembled the one that hung around your neck since you were a child.
“yeah actually, i’ve met two other people with pac man that looked identical to mine, yet it never matched up with the second mark.
“no shit? i have pac man too. they are probably just some dumb marks anyway, so who cares?” he chuckled, grabbing the end of his bandage and un wrapping it. he set the bandage down on his lap and looked at his marks, not able for you to see though. when he looked at his own marks it was as if a wave of realization hit him.
“come closer.” he mumbled, putting his left arm down where his mark stained his skin, out of your sight. you raised an eyebrow and leaned closer to him as he asked. his right hand reached up and lightly grabbed your necklace. out of your control you cheeks heated up.
“this wouldn’t have anything to do with your mark, would it?” he asked slowly, tearing his eyes away from the necklace to meet yours.
you swallowed and licked your bottom lip before nodding lightly. his fingers still holding your necklace. “yeah, it’s.. it’s my other mark.” you replied in a soft voice, never had you ever been this close to him. it wasn’t a problem though, not at all.
you rolled up your sleeve to show your mark to colin, once he saw it his face reminded still. the only thing that moved was his left arm so he could show you his marks.
they matched yours. they were identical.
“at least i know you.” you spoke, a smile forming on your face. you looked up to see his reaction, when he was grinning like an idiot you were surprised to say the least.
“i’m definitely okay with this, i guess i was ready to find you.” he spoke as you stood back just as you were before he asked you to come closer.
“so, i guess it’s time to ask.. you wanna go out sometime? somewhere other than work.” you asked, shoving your hands into your back pockets.
“i know just the place.”

HERE FOR YOU ↝ stefan butler
requested? ↝ yeah!! by my favorite follower! @edgyandbi-michielle
summary ↝ Hey I have an idea for you. A Stefan x reader imagine where the reader and him are really good friends and the reader has been checking up on him pretty much everyday (like bringing him food/music and whatever) but they don’t show up for longer than usual and he notices so he stops takes a break from his game to check on them because they are really important to him. It could be a romantic ending or like just a platonic show of care and stuff up too you.
warnings ↝ fem!reader, cussing, mentions of verbal abuse.
i love this! i adore this idea and everything that came to mind when writing it. i may have gone over my five hundred word limit i wanted to stick by, but it’s okay!! i hope you all like it!
ッッッ
chinese food in hand you managed to fish out your spare key to stefan’s place. you had gotten one a week ago since you’ve been coming over so much to check up on him and make sure he isn’t going crazy from the game he was making.
you slipped off your shoes and moved over to stefan’s room, knocking on the open door lightly to let him know you were here.
he would usually jump a foot since he was so focused. now though, he had become used to it.
he immediately turned around and faced you, getting up and helping with the food in your hands.
“wh-what time is it?” he asked, his voice always so soft since he barley spoke to anyone besides you lately. the game had become his top priority ever since he got into it.
you glanced down at your watch and sat down on his bed. “half past seven, just in time for dinner.” you responded while taking the noodles and chopsticks from stefan.
he seemed shocked at the time, quickly glancing at his clock on the wall and rubbing his face softly. “oh, alright then.” his tone was still soft as he sat next to you.
“you didn’t know it was that late, did you? let me guess.. you haven’t eaten since this morning. and that was just a banana with some juice?” you sighed, looking his way, stuffing some noodles in your mouth.
“you know me too well..” he chuckled as he picked at his rice and crab rangoon. he usually ate really fast when you brought food since he barley ate otherwise. this wasn’t normal of him to pick at his food.
you nudged his leg with your foot trying to get his full attention, even if that rarely happens. his mind was always all over the place, never thinking about just one thing.
“talk to me stef, what’s up? you aren’t eating like it’s the end of the world.” you chuckled, setting down your food on his side table.
he shrugged and took a bite of the food, avoiding your eyes.
“am i a bother to you? i mean you come around a lot to look after me.. and i don’t want to be holding you b-back or anything.” he spoke, unsure of himself. he was obviously nervous about what he said and the meaning behind his words. he set his food down on his desk before looking down at his hands.
you frowned, scooting closer to him and wrapping your arms around his body. your head leaning on his shoulder and a hand softly rubbing his back.
“you’re the best person in my life right now. of course i’m going to be here for you when needed. even when you don’t think you need me, i’ll be here. i want you to understand that you’re not a bother to me, if anything you’re a breath of fresh air.” you reassured him, speaking with emotion in your voice. everything you said came from your heart, it was true.
he smiled, letting out a breath he didn’t know he was holding in until that moment. he relaxed while wrapping his arms around you, letting the both of you fall back onto his bed.
you calmed him, eased his mind. like always.
you looked up at him as he looked down at you, eyes meeting. your hand was rubbing the side of his arm softly while his fingers played with your hair.
you two didn’t notice your faces slowly getting closer until stefans dad opened the door abruptly. “y/n? you mother w- oh, uh- your mom wants you home.. so..” he stepped out when he saw how close you two were and shut the door quickly.
you sat up, pulling yourself away from stefan and rubbing your face a bit. you heard stefan chuckle from behind you as he followed your lead and sat up.
“thank you for everything y/n. i’ll see you soon, yeah?” he asked,getting up to walk you to the front door. you nodded and hugged him, kissing his cheek like normal before you left.
the smile on his face didn’t drop until later that night when he passed out.
ッッッ
it’s been a week you last come over. the longest before this was four days when you didn’t see him. so this was really out of the ordinary.
he took a step back from his computer and put on his yellow jacket, walking out the front door and just catching the bus to get to your house.
it only took a few moments to get there since you didn’t live too far from him, he got off the bus and walked to your front door. he knocked on it hesitantly, waiting for an answer.
when he didn’t get the answer he was hoping for he remembered the spare key under the ‘welcome’ mat. quickly, he lifted the mat and grabbed it. once he unlocked the door he walked in, calling your name.
“s-stefan..?” your soft voice was heard from your room. right away he rushed over to your room, almost falling before he opened your door to see the messy room and your body curled up on the bed.
you sat up and looked at him with tear filled eyes, your cheeks already had tear stains on them. his heart broke at the sight.
he didn’t say anything as he sat down next to you and let your body fall into his warm embrace.
“what happened?” he asked, rubbing your back soothingly. you stayed silent for a moment before taking a deep breath and answering.
“my mom and i got into an.. argument. it was more one sided.. she said that i wasn’t allowed to go see you until she said otherwise. she hasn’t come back for two days and i don’t want her getting mad at me again.” you spoke, starting to ramble before stopping yourself. your head was laying on his chest, listening to his heartbeat and breathing pattern.
“it’s okay, it’s okay. i’m here for you, always. if you e-ever need a place to go.. my door is open anytime.” he responded, keeping his hold onto you to keep you calm. your heart fluttered and you could feel yourself smile.
“thank you stefan.”
