#Dan Maria

[firstfullmoon]

in her introduction to albert camus & maria casarès’ correspondence, catherine camus wrote that their letters made the earth larger, space brighter and the air lighter just for having existed. & in one of his last letters, camus wrote that a single heart had beaten within them so that it would still be heard in the mystery of the world even after both of them had vanished

disventure dump. hi guys

[thecatgirl-luvmyrocky]

Didn’t know they had this out till it popped up on twitter today! Tomorrow is my favorite characters birthday! 🥰

You know I’m going to celebrate it!

[dangerousdan-dan]

I can't describe the face I just made when I realized that Mary is supposed to be a character related to Virgin Mary in terms of her virtue (and maybe even her suffering) while Maria is related to Mary Magdalene because she was a "sinful woman" and a prostitute

Overheard

Summary: Relativity/Reunion Falls AU, Stan vents some frustration.

Masterlist

...

“Dude,” Dan says, looking way too happy given the situation.  “I didn’t even know you had a brother.”

“Yeah, well, join the club,” Stan says, chin propped up on his hands from his spot behind the cash register.

“Aw, why do you look so bummed about it?” Maria asks, leaning the broom against the counter.  “If I found out I had a long lost twin, I’d be running home to my Abuelo with a billion questions.”

“Oh, I’ve got questions all right,” Stan grumbles.  “Why does this stranger have to stay in my room and eat all our food, being the main one.”

“Oh come on, dude,” Dan says.  “Having brothers can be fun.  Give him a shot.”

“I don’t care what brothers are like,” Stan says, rolling his eyes.  “Grauntie Mabel didn’t even ask me.  So what if he traveled across the country by himself?  How is that my problem?”

“Woah, Stan,” Dan says, crossing his arms.  “That’s pretty rude.”

“And I think it’s pretty rude to show up at a stranger’s house and expect people to take you in just ‘cause you decided to run away,” Stan says.  He slumps down onto the desk and drops his head in his arms.

“Stanley,” Maria says.

“What?  It’s not like I’ve just been sitting around waiting for a long lost twin to show up, you know.  I had summer plans too.  How am I supposed to finally catch the Gremloblin if I have to do it in between rounds of ice breakers with a weirdo—”

“Hey,” Maria snaps, loud and firm enough that Stan stops talking.  She tips her head slightly over towards the other side of the store, and when Stan looks over, Stanford’s standing there, wide-eyed with his hands clasped behind his back.

Stan winces.  Okay, he hadn’t meant for him to hear that.

“Uh,” he says, trying to come up with something to say.

But Stanford doesn’t give him the chance, just turns and runs from the store back into the house.

Dan gives him a look.  “Nice.”

Stan winces and hunches over the desk.  “I didn’t know he was standing there,” he mutters.

“Because that makes it better,” Dan says.

“Hey.  Come on, you can’t expect me to just be fine with all this right off the bat!”

“I can expect you to not badmouth someone who hasn’t done anything to you,” Dan says, crossing his arms.  “Come on, Stan.  You’re better than that.  I know you are.”

“Wh— well I— ugh!” Stan pushes himself back from the desk and storms outside, in the opposite direction from where Stanford had gone.

None of them get it.  They don’t have to give up their rooms and their food and their time.  They don’t have to deal with a stupid normie nerd who probably hates monsters, and weirdness, and everything cool.  He didn’t ask for this!

Stupid random twin brother showing up and ruining Stan’s life.

I'm Your Man (2021)

[roseaesynstylae]

I just binge-read all the chapters of Maria no Dazai and Brutal available on MangaSee, and I have reached a conclusion. Maria and Dan would get along like a house on fire (quite possibly with someone inside). If Dan isn't gay, then I can picture them as the most terrifying, haunting, and creatively sadistic couple in manga history. Or they'd just be good (homicidal) friends. Either way, they'd probably meet up for coffee and torture tips, and hopefully keep an eye on that kid from Juujika no Rokunin.

[samasmith23]

One element that I always loved about Dan Slott's run on Superior Spider-Man was just how accepting and open-minded Otto Octavius was towards his love-interest Anna Maria Marconi!

And this element of Otto & Anna Maria’s relationship even carried over to the pages of The Clone Conspiracy event limited series!

Matt Gertz at MMFA:

A wildly flimsy internet rumor launched by a random pro-Trump X poster about an “ABC whistleblower” who purportedly claims that the network rigged the September 10 presidential debate went viral in MAGA spaces over the last several days, with Donald Trump and his allies floating congressional investigations and potential regulatory retribution against ABC News in response.  The right-wing pundits and Republican politicians pushing the story don’t actually know who the “ABC whistleblower” is, if their claims are credible, or even if the person actually exists — but the purported document supposedly supports their preferred narrative that ABC News’ moderators were biased, so they’re running with it.  The saga, while laughable, shows the right's ongoing tendency to embrace and elevate anything that confirms their worldview. Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) laid out that strategy in a Sunday interview on CNN, admitting that he pushed a debunked, racist, and demagogic claim about Haitian immigrants eating pets because he wants to “create stories” that drive news coverage of immigration.

In the instance of the absurd “whistleblower” claim, Trump's allies trotted it out as they tried to cover for his flailing September 10 debate performance. Right-wing media figures lashed out at ABC News and its moderators David Muir and Linsey Davis with deranged invective and absurd conspiracy theories. And Trump himself said in an interview the following morning that “they ought to take away their license,” reiterating his support for government retribution against news outlets that displease him.  Then on September 12, a “verified” but obscure X poster with the handle “Black Insurrectionist--I FOLLOW BACK TRUE PATRIOTS” claimed they would release “an affidavit from an ABC whistleblower” by the end of the weekend. “The affidavit states how the Harris campaign was given sample question which were essentially the same questions that were given during the debate and separate assurances of fact checking Donald Trump and that she would NOT be fact checked,” the poster wrote.

Right-wing pundits had no reason to take claims from “Black Insurrectionist” at face value — other than the fact that the story confirmed their preexisting biases. A casual review of recent activity from the “Black Insurrectionist” account — which has posted to X more than 32,700 times over the 10 months since its November 2023 launch — reveals a strong tendency for unhinged, conspiracy-minded, and violent pro-Trump rants. 

MAGA media propagandists are running a baseless claim about a “whistleblower” from ABC as part of their war on ABC and Disney over the channel’s conduct during the 2024 Presidential debate between Kamala Harris v. Donald Trump.

Unsolicited Headcanons (A Diary of How Much My Brain Won’t Shut Up About Big City Greens)

⚠️TW: Abusive parents, mentions of drug use and alcoholism, mentions of military service/war⚠️

💜Gwendolyn Zapp (she/her):

- ✨AuDHD✨

- Thinks she’s aro/ace for most of her life, but then in her 50s realizes she’s lesbian

- Really, really, really likes fruits and vegetables

- Flawless You was invented so she could delete her own emotions and further BigTech’s progress as a company without the restraint of her feelings (this was a bad move)

- Invents things because she understands robotics better than she understands people

- Her father left when she was little, and her mom struggled with drug abuse and ended up in prison, so she lived with her Uncle Andre and Uncle Kev for most of her life (we stan Andre and Kev in this household)

- A cat person — dogs are too loud for her, and she can vibe with cats way better

💕Colleen Voyd (she/her):

- Very Type A personality

- SUPER good at math, and an insanely hard worker

- Wears wire-rimmed glasses and has a full set of earrings that look like the planets in the solar system (she likes to mix and match, but Saturn and Mars are her favorite combo)

- Pansexual with a preference for women

- Her father passed away in a car crash, and her mother (Valentina) did her best to raise four kids (Colleen and her younger sisters — Margie, Destiny, and Sarah) on her own in one of the lower-income parts of Big City

- She’s Dominican, but she doesn’t have a super strong connection with her culture (she learned quickly that women of color in STEM face a lot of prejudice, so she disconnected herself from her heritage to fit in better — in her later years, she chooses to reconnect and be proud of her roots despite the backlash from others in her field)

- Always wanted to be an astronaut, and is OBSESSED with outer space

❤️Nancy Green (she/her):

- Enjoys rom-coms (the terrible ones on Netflix are her guilty pleasure)

- Vegan

- Dropped out of high school to take over her dad’s business — even so, she’s pretty smart, and she’s very good at common sense situations

- When she moved to Big City to get away from her dad, she wanted to start up her own repair shop, but she got stuck in a rut and ended up struggling to pay bills — this is how she met Skids and the Stingers

- Bill was in Big City for FarmCon when Nancy reconnected with him, and after hanging out together a few times, he convinced her to come back to Smalton, which is why she left the Stingers and moved away

- Lesbian af, but she can appreciate a hard-working guy (that’s how she got tight enough with Bill to start a family, even though she always kind of knew it wasn’t quite where she wanted to be)

💛Skids (she/they):

- Her given name is Emma Shelhammer

- Grew up in the suburbs with an inattentive father, an abusive mother, and two little sisters

- Her mother forced them to dye their hair blonde to attend prep school, and Skids is the only AFAB person in the family with naturally pink hair (they got it from her grandma on her dad’s side)

- Skids shaved her head and ran away from home the second she turned 18, where they met Leadfoot in Big City and started the Stingers

- They vowed to come back and save her sisters, but she wanted them to have a better life than she did, so they sent them to live with one of her friends from prep school

- She and Dan are childhood friends, both from the same region of the Big City suburbs, and they were each other’s only comfort in school, since they were both misfits

- Their eye patch is the result of something her mother did (my more specific thoughts on this are too sad and I don’t want to speak them into reality 😭 poor Skids)

- Lesbian (a little in love with Nancy)

- Has dealt with depression most of her life

💟Leadfoot (she/her):

- Her given name is Mary Donovan

- She was born in one of the poorest parts of Big City, and by the time she was 12, she was unhoused and living on the street

- She learned to fend for herself pretty quickly, but the government came in and told all of the unhoused people in her area that they were no longer allowed to stay on the street

- That put her on the run, where she met Skids, and they found a place to stay in the old Splish factory

- She has a great sense of humor, and she loves befriending the stray animals she finds (rats, cats, injured pigeons, etc — very Tilly-esque in that sense)

- She bounces between jobs as a cook in chain restaurants, and she brings the Stingers whatever food and money she can spare from the day

- Bisexual and genderqueer

💚Lord Chrome (he/they):

- His given name is Barry Friedman

- He’s like the dad of the Stingers

- Their father was an alcoholic and abusive toward him and his mom, so he makes it his mission to save kids in abusive households

- With their experience combined with Skids’, the Stingers are a very vindictive group against adults who have wronged children in any sense, and the gang seeks justice in their own way as vigilantes

- They enjoy carving art pieces out of metal, especially using the bottle caps in the Splish factory

- Bisexual with a preference for men, but he and Leadfoot dated for a little bit

💙Dan (he/him):

- As mentioned, he grew up in the suburbs with Skids

- He joined the Army when he was 18, and after serving for 6 years after West Point, he was honorably discharged following a traumatic experience at war that resulted in the scar on his cheek

- He moved to Big City and reconnected with Skids, and he joined the Stingers after that since he was struggling with income and his mental health after the military

- He’s one of the kindest people you’ll ever meet, but if you make him mad, he will show no mercy

- Gay and nonbinary (uses he/him)

- Very into punk music

- Works at a Wholesome Foods, and he smuggles food out of their inventory like Leadfoot

- Again, because he and Leadfoot have similar experiences being wronged by the government, they both have a vendetta against unjust legislation and greed, which is another major motivation that the Stingers combat

- Deals with PTSD because of his military service, and the rest of the Stingers do their best to help him in times of need

💗Rashida Remington (she/her):

- Born into a wealthy family, and she does her best to use her wealth for good causes

- Breast cancer survivor

- She met Russell at Big City University, where she was going into pre-law and he was going into marketing (with a football scholarship)

- She loves history, especially learning about East Asian dynasties

- Straight, but a vocal ally

🧡Maria Media (she/her):

- Loves the beach

- Feral about libraries (she checks out soooo many books at once and reads none of them)

- Always wanted to be a journalist, and she’s living out her dream in Big City

- Bisexual, in a straight relationship with her childhood best friend (don’t ask me about him because I have no clue lmao)

🔵Gloria Sato (she/her):

- Anime fan

- Enjoys watching sports, but doesn’t really understand them

- A little in love with Nancy, but it’s just a crush that doesn’t really go anywhere (because obviously. they are decades apart in age)

- Bicurious

- Undiagnosed autism (European history is her special interest)
