as an aroace person with limited sexual experience, no interest in watching porn, and poor sex ed as a teen, there IS something simultaneously funny and vaguely tragic about being 28 adult years old and realising how extremely tiny your frame of reference is for genitalia and deciding you should expand this to better understand bodies (yours and others). and then you're just there like "okay so what the fuck do I even google right now, anyway"

update on this: never got my beach episode (if anything i’m in the most academically challenged period of my life that is actively going downhill), and i’m currently in the most complicated platonic-situationship-romantic relationship i’ve ever had ever so

i guess i got my love interest?? 😭😭

jesus fuck i’m in dire need of a beach episode—or literally any filler episode ever. like i’m done with the angsty summer depression arc, let’s get back to the arc where i finally get a love interest after my beach episode. i deserve it along with probably ten bazillion other people also suffering under capitalism.

dc x dp prompt inspired by this tiktok

if you don’t wanna click the link, in summary it’s a hyper-realistic animation commenting on American overconsumption and capitalism through the metaphor of jeff bezos owning a bakery and using his sugary workers as ingredients once he realizes it makes his pastries more delicious. (it’s permanently altered my brain chemistry, i recommend that you watch it it’s so good.)

anyways, i’m aiming for “they’re in the same universe already” type angle, but you can do whatever you want. so let’s say a former GIW dude gets laid off and ends up in gotham. through whatever hijinks you choose, the guy discovers that shades are DELICIOUS in your average pastry and decides to open a bakery with this knowledge. (the only reason this dude and gotham citizens can consume these is cuz they’re liminal contaminated or something, you decide.)

now also for whatever reason, we find danny in gotham (with or without his companions) and by some magic of fate (clockwork probably) he stumbles on the bakery. he’s maybe heard how good it is and they’re just so yummy or something or other. upon trying it, he immediately wants to puke because he knows that there are shades in it and it feels like full on cannibalism. what he does about it is up to you.

on the bats end, they’re all enjoying these pastries as much as any other person in gotham. some bat manages to coax jason into trying one and when he tastes, he has a similar reaction to danny. he doesn’t recognize the secret ingredient as shades or inherently cannibalism, but he just feels down in his being that there’s something fucked up about it. (lazarus pits obviously tip one further towards liminal than not.)

side note on that, considering damien was raised nearby the lazarus pits for a majority of his childhood, i say that he’s neutral on the taste. like, it isn’t delicious or anything but it’s not the worst thing he’s tasted. and he’s definitely not gonna search out the sweet treats. (maybe he connects the dots between his and jason’s liminal-bility? does he follow jason around as he investigates the bakery? it’s up to you ;) )

on the other hand, the other bats don’t understand their distaste/neutrality and think jason’s tweaking, but jason knows what he knows. (cass believes him obvi. they probably investigate the bakery together)

so this is probably where the duo meets danny, and they figure out the stuff together and now you add whatever angst you want that comes with the combined worlds of danny phantom and detective comics. is danny the ghost king? demon twin au? is jason a baby halfa? it’s all up to y’all ig

NOW BE FREE *drops the idea at fanfic writer’s feet and skedaddles away*

slay queen

“what if kids identify with something and it ends up just being a phase-?” good. stop teaching and expecting kids (and adults honestly) to formulate permanent traits and ideas of themselves. everything in life is a phase. that doesn’t make it any less legitimate while you experience it. let people explore themselves and know it’s okay if what you think about yourself changes.

[rainpunk07]

slay queen

i feel like it's absolutely crucial in the social justice world to take "he a little confused but he got the spirit" and similar sentiments/situations as a Win. intent is so much more important than saying it right the first time! if someone is approaching with scuffed language and incorrect terms but they're visibly being as polite as they know how, that person is a friend and should be treated better than what their words might invite in someone else's mouth.

YES he is a MASSIVE BITCH but hes also BISEXUAL and a PUNCHING BAG and ALMOST DIES AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK. AND hes my little meow meow.

so let me tell you a story

the time is 2024, a normal summer morning around 10–11am. i’m running around the house with my best friend on the phone, just idly chatting after never hanging up the night before. i’m sitting there eating a pb&j cuz i didn’t want cereal and she asks what’d i do if a roach fell on me. i go “from the sky??” to which she’s just like “yeah i guess”. thinking of my mother’s prior reactions to roaches merely on the ground (screaming jumping, the gist), i told her i’d probably just yelp or something then continue on with my day. she is satisfied with this answer, and we hang up half an hour later as i have other activities to attend to.

i go thrifting with some other friends, it’s a fun jolly few hours. i come back home at around 4–5 socially exhausted and bury myself into the depths of tumblr.

Cut to 11 o’clock. i’m watching hamilton on my laptop in my room while playing subway surfers on my phone, singing and all that jazz. my sister comes in and pauses it and we get to chatting for a bit. cue a quick buzzing/fluttering sound and a something lands on my arm but is also under the blanket so i don’t see what it is. my first thought it a moth, but when i move my covers slightly i see what?

a fucking roach.

was i right that i yelped? yes. the rest is history :)

moral of the story, don’t let people jinx you with something seemingly not possible. yell at your god in the sky saying “GIRLY POP DIDNT MEAN IT!!” or some shit like that

jesus fuck i’m in dire need of a beach episode—or literally any filler episode ever. like i’m done with the angsty summer depression arc, let’s get back to the arc where i finally get a love interest after my beach episode. i deserve it along with probably ten bazillion other people also suffering under capitalism.
