Soot tags gather after fires in areas with low circulation. They are not, as commonly believed, ash covered spider webs.
oh, well then what the FUCK are they???
They’re made of sticky particles from a polymer or petroleum based fire, like burning carpet, drapes, upholstery, and clothes. Due to a static charge, they chain together and naturally gather near ceiling corners because the rising hot air pushes them into the cool spots by convection.
Because they’re formed by static electricity, they can only be removed with professional chemicals and equipment. Attempting to remove them improperly will only break the chain before all the soot can be captured, leaving the remaining soot to spontaneously reform the webs later. Even worse, trying to wipe or wash them away can firmly adhere the soot to your wall or ceiling, which will permanently stain it.
A natural phenomena that only coincidentally resembles the damned webs of transdimensional ghost spiders.
you ever see/hear a dude you liked/admired say or do somethin gross and suddenly the veneer washes away and you finally see him as he is and ur like “wow he really was a man the whole time”
why is there like… no media (fan content or otherwise) involving characters dealing with/working thru past trauma while in a healthy relationship. like its all either Pain Pain Pain bordering on exploitative or “we have this person be traumatized so theyre submissive because we’re freaks and think thats hot”.
being traumatized while in a positive relationship and supportive of each other is a really interesting thing and my most meaningful relationships (romantic and friends) have been with other equally fucked up people and i wish people would actually like……explore that
