Derren Brown probably can kill you with his brain

[wanttobeatree]

Where the devil have I been? I'll tell you where I've been. I've been dividing my time neatly between the beach, uk_lolitics and rewatching all of Derren Brown's available back catalogue on 4OD. With some ineffectual job hunting on the side.

• THE BEACH: it is very very pretty. Cornwall is basically one of the most beautiful places in the world, imo, albeit

I LOVE DERREN BROWN. And now it will forever be my canon that he actually has magic powers. Also where do I find this zombie video?

[wanttobeatree]

I BOTH LOVE HIM AND FEAR HIM. Andddd I don't think the video is readily available anywhere :( It's on Channel Four On Demand but I think that's UK only and C4 is really strict with youtube so it's not on there.

That would be awesome. He would so dismiss all the weirdness as coincidence and subconscious bias influencing things, and not realize it at all.

Unless he was telekinetic. I think he'd notice that.

OH I DON'T KNOW. There's an episode where he makes a load of tables move around whilst volunteers are touching them. Perhaps he subconsciously channels his telekinesis into objects people are touching 8D

[wolfy_writing]

And what, his subconscious is just so good at tricking him that he never makes things fly when they're not being touched by volunteers?

[wanttobeatree]

Well he believes he can't, so he doesn't! Perhaps if he actually tried to move an untouched object it would go flying and all his delicate illusions would be SHATTERED.

I love the idea of Derren Brown having real powers and being in denial about it. He's probably one of the psychic children. Or an angel. Or a demon. BASICALLY, DERREN BROWN WOULD FIT REALLY WELL INTO THE SUPERNATURAL UNIVERSE.

[wanttobeatree]

IT IS SO TRUE. He could be like the Trickster - an angel that ran away from home and set up shop elsewhere, but he's been hiding for so long he has FORGOTTEN WHAT HE ACTUALLY IS.

TREE TREE I READ THAT GOOD OMENS FIC YOU REC'D THE OTHER DAY AND IT WAS AWESOME AND THEN SAD AND NOW I AM DELIGHTED YET GRUMPY AND IT IS ALL YOUR FAULT.

[wanttobeatree]

Ugh, good luck with the Great Job Search. Maybe your ~charisma~ can make up for lack of experience. It works, sometimes!

[wanttobeatree]

Hopefullyyyy /o\ I don't think my ~charisma~ rly comes through in my CV though. I really need to rewrite that bitch.

[karabou]

Oh, that's true. I don't know why my brain thought you'd be able to get interviews right away. Bah!
