once again i am so in love with the way that leverage treats parker. because oh boy, the grave danger job. hardison is buried alive, he's freaking out on the phone, and parker feels like she can't help him, she's not good with emotions in this way, not like sophie, so she says that hardison needs sophie. but sophie knows that what hardison needs is to hear parker's voice, that whatever is going on with those two, parker is the person who will be most reassuring for hardison right now, but she also knows parker won't be convinced by that, and she needs parker to feel confident. so she speaks parker's language. she gives parker a reason for why parker is the best person for this job - not he loves you, not you love him, not even he just needs to hear your voice it doesn't matter what you say, none of that will land with her. sophie says, parker, you've spent more time in air ducts than anyone. if anyone knows how to hold their breath it's you. that's what hardison needs right now. she gives parker a job: help hardison breathe. she doesn't try to push parker, she doesn't make it into some more profound thing that parker might not be ready to hear or able to understand at that moment; she takes stock of the situation and knows (1) hardison needs to hear parker's voice right now and (2) parker needs to feel confident and useful right now and she feeds them the answer, because she loves them exactly how they are. i can't put it into words any better than this but i just love that over and over leverage says "you can be loved and love in return without trying to be different than you are" and never more than with parker.

What's the process if you're a superhero and you come out as trans

Do you tell your villains?

Do you keep it a secret so no one can connect Spider-Man with your secret identity for a while? Or do you pop a pronouns pin on your costume and the next time you web up Doctor Octopus and he goes "I'LL GET YOU NEXT TIME SPIDER-MAN" you go "Spider-Girl actually! I've been figuring out some shit"

Trans Dipper HC: Their parents are transphobic but Dipper was introducing himself as a boy from the start and Stan never even thought to question it, so when their parents called asking about their "daughters" he was like "SHIT DID I ALREADY LOSE ONE"

DP Mechanic AU Part 10

Masterpost

Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Part 4.5 Part 5 Part 6 Part 7 Part 8 Part 9A Part 9B Part 10

Danny was pulled out of his doze by the sound of gravel being crushed under heavy tires. He sat up from where he had been sprawled across the backseat of his Honda to see a familiar white truck parked behind him. Both boys exited their vehicles. 

The tension was palpable. After crying into Dash’s shoulder for longer than he wanted to admit to, Danny had immediately excused himself and left Dash outside on the stoop. While both boys were trying to play it cool, after more than two weeks of no contact after the incident, their nerves were on fire, each waiting on the other to bring up what comes next for their tentative situationship. 

“What happened?” Dash asked? 

“Smoke started coming out of my hood when I was driving. Figured that was a problem, so you know. Pulled over.” 

Dash gave a small smile before continuing, “What color was the smoke?” 

“Uh... white I think.” Danny replied as he followed Dash to the front of his car. 

Dash hummed as he looked over the engine bay, glad to put his focus on something tangible and less awkward. 

“I think it’s just a coolant leak.” He said after a moment. “See there?” 

Danny followed the direction Dash was pointing to see a goop of green viscous substance crusted on a hose near the engine. 

“Looks like ectoplasm.” Danny stated, looking perplexed. 

His response confused Dash in return. He knew- as did all residents of Amity Park by this point - what ectoplasm was and what it looked like, but he has no reason to believe it would be found under the hood of a car. 

“Pretty sure it’s just coolant” Dash countered. 

“Is coolant green?” 

“It can be. Your car needed this kind anyway. Didn’t you see me replace it when I was fixing your water pump?” 

“I was doing homework.” 

To Dash’s horror he watched as Danny swabbed some of the goop with his fingers and brought it to his face. 

“It’s ectoplasm.” Danny stated as he stared at Dash, surprised at such an emotional reaction. “I was checking to see if it was ectoplasm, and it is.” 

Dash could only gawk, his eyebrows drawn together and mouth slightly agape as his bewilderment over Danny’s actions sank in. 

“Wha-...a-... Is that how you normally check? Also what if it wasn’t?! What if it was coolant and you ended up poisoning yourself?!” 

“And what, die?” Danny laughed. “Been there, done that.” 

“WHAT?!” Dash cried, his state of horror skyrocketing.

“What?” Danny returned defensively, “How do you think you get ghost powers?” 

“I don’t know! I figured you just got zapped by something your parents made!” Dash countered. 

“I mean you’re not too far off. I just also had to die a little bit.” 

“Holy shit” Dash breathed. He understood now why Danny hadn’t wanted to talk about it ages ago when they were in his truck. But Danny’s current casual tone at the admittance of his own death was making the already overwhelming news worse. 

“Danny, you’ve died.” Dash reiterated just to put into words the problem that was happening. 

“Yeah?... Did you really not put that together? I know people- I mean, I’ve literally heard you and Paulina talk about who Phantom was when he was alive. you know, past tense. Like I know you know ghosts are dead” Danny recounted.

Finally! Part 10 exits! Thank you all for waiting. It took a hot minute to gain the time, motivation, and inspiration for me to figure this bad boy out. But it's finally here, and I'm so happy to announce that the boys are not getting back together. Unfortunately for you all I love a bittersweet ending. There is still one more part to this AU before it's all wrapped up, and I might make an epilogue. But overall, I'm looking to leave it more open-ended because I think it's more satisfying that way (I'm sure many would disagree, but unfortunately I am not sorry.)

Alrighty. I'll see ya'll in the next part (whenever the hell that happens)

Also don't ya'll love that the art in almost every part looks different from the last part? I personally am not upset by this, but it's funny to see what drawing process I'm vibing with during the creation process

so a few days ago I saw this post, and the accompanying tags from @brrmian :

the idea of Cody being simultaneously so cool on the surface and constantly overanalysing every interaction stuck with me so much that I ended up spitting all my thoughts into existence

so

enjoy a brief look into Commander Cody's mind:

[lordsmeldingtonthethird]

If Obi-Wan had actually stayed on Mandalore with Satine after the Civil War and left the Jedi Order, it would've made The Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones peak comedy.

Like, Qui-Gon would still be sent to Naboo and end up on Tatooine, he'd still meet Anakin and take him back to the Temple. But, in this AU, he survives the battle on Theed and takes Anakin as his padawan. And the entire Order would be making jokes:

"Congrats on the new padawan! Hope he sticks around longer than the last one!" "We'll keep this one off the bodyguard missions, eh Qui-Gon?"

So one day little Anakin’s like "hey master, what happened to your last padawan?" And Qui-Gon's like "oh he ran off with a girl, yeah he's royalty in the Outer Rim now".

And it's all fine and dandy until Anakin’s nineteen and they get assigned to protect Padmé, and Qui-Gon takes one look at this kid's face and thinks "You've got to be fucking kidding me, this shit again??"

cloth fibers ranked by how much sense they make to me

wool. the most sensible and natural fiber. wool is hair from meaty, not very bright animals. I have hair, meat and did not excell in school, so I relate and understand this best

cotton. Cotton is made from plants, but don't be scared yet. these plants are basically small sheep for they are wooly and have hard seeds in them like how sheep are wooly and have hard bones inside them

silk. I was fairly terrorized as a child by caterpillars that made massive silk tents in mulberry trees. We came in into conflict because both of us liked to eat mulberries and climb mulberry trees and also because they liked falling out of the tree upon my person. this was distressing for me for various reasons primary amongst them was that I had been told by the wisdom of my peers that if one of them bit me I would die. anyway I believe that silk comes from caterpillars because I have seen it I have witnessed it I have lived it

linen. bizarre. have you watched videos of people turning flax into fibers? I have watched video after video of flax being transformed from plant to linen and none of it makes any sense. One moment, it's a plant and then if you comb it enough it becomes hair. utterly incomprehensibe witchcraft

PLASTIC? PLASTIC? PLAstic??????

spandex. incomprehensibe. uncontainable. might as well be string theory to me.
