what r ur hcs for Dan im curious

at one point i actually had a list somewhere of all my veep headcanons but i made it in my notes app for some reason and its buried under notes about my real life but heres what i got off the top of my head

he was a lifeguard as a teenager (he has lifeguard energy idfk)

he was a competitive swimmer as a teenager (again just vibes, he was a god at 400IM)

bpd (purely projection, i feel it's based in canon but i don't think someone without bpd would see it)

substance abuse (so many people in this show are canon irresponsible w prescription meds i mean dc is a stressful place)

he and selina fucked like years ago but she doesn't remember (based on when they almost fuck like idk why i get the vibe that it wasnt the first time)

he had a shit childhood this is basically canon

he has depression+anxiety+bpd (purely based on vibes)

i think he is a lot goofier than he lets on like i think when he is very comfortable w someone he is v silly but he isnt v comfortable w anyone, i just think no one who isnt a goofy lil goober would be able to write an extended parody of 50 ways to leave your lover hes a goofy lil guy okay, he is also rly quick witted and funny like in an alternate universe he is a writer on snl, he's just chandler bing if chandler had rizz

post-canon he retires early after making a shit-ton of money and just kinda travels about w hot women (i have not seen s7 maybe this is canon i know they have a peek at every character's future in the last ep but whatever)

i think he does have like literally a dozen illegitimate children and the doctor at the fertility clinic with marjorie and catherine was just incorrect and the test was a fluke bc didnt he get amy pregnant ?? idk i haven't seen s7

he has some kind of weird daddy issues thing with kent, in the early seasons he rly wants to be friends w kent (i read some fic abt this idfk) and he just wants to go on a little boat trip (fishing trip...? idk i just know hes good at fishing so he mustve done it as a kid right?) w his father figure (the seasickness thing contraindicates this but whatevs)

his brother has kids and dan is surprisingly good w his nieces and nephews like once they get older and theyre like young adults he is the cool uncle who will let them throw parties in his beach house and if his niece has like a shitty bf dan will punch him

idk i have so many headcanons these are just what i could come up with rn

Steely Dan, R.E.M. to Enter Songwriters Hall of Fame

- Hillary Lindsey, Timbaland and Dean Pitchford also slated for induction

Steely Dan and R.E.M. are heading to the Songwriters Hall of Fame

The Dan’s Donald Fagen and Walter Becker and Bill Berry, Peter Buck, Mike Mills and Michael Stipe of R.E.M. will be inducted June 13 alongside Hillary Lindsey (“Jesus Take the Wheel”), Timbaland (“SexyBack”) and Dean Pitchford (“Footloose”) in New York.

“I’ve said it before, but the music industry does not exist without songwriters delivering great songs first,” SHOF Chairman Nile Rodgers said in a statement.

“Without them, there is no recorded music, no concert business, no merch - nothing, it all starts with the song and the songwriter. We are therefore very proud that we are continually recognizing …songwriters who have enriched our lives and literally enriched music and the lives of billions of listeners all over the world.”

mini batman meta - superman/batman: world's finest

okay so i'm reading batman/superman: world's finest issue #2 right? and we have this panel of dickie saying he's worried about superman [among other things] "even if batman isn't"

here ^^

but then we get the low-down from "count frankenstein" [as robin called him] and we see negative man do his thing and---

bats looks TERRIFIED, and it reminds me of battinson's line in the batman (2022) -- “I never thought I’d feel fear like that again,” he says. “I thought I’d mastered all that. I mean, I’m not afraid to die. I realize now there’s something I haven’t got past. This fear of ever going through any of that again. Of losing somebody I care about.” -- it's especially poignant in the movie because it shows that apart from trying to push the persona of bruce wayne away, the reason bruce was so cold to alfred was that he was afraid [source]. Robin probably only assumed that Bats didn't feel worried was that Bruce was supressing the fear, it's an established part of his characterisation at this point that he's not open with his emotions. This makes even more sense for him in-character for emotions that make him feel afraid or uncomfortable -- being afraid of losing superman and being afraid of that fear and feeling like he did when he lost his parents again [if that makes sense??]

what i'm building to here is, we see bruce terrified, no longer stoic, and it's great.

Do you think when Dan went off on his solo tour that one or both of them listened to "You Belong to Me" off of the Shrek soundtrack?

See the pyramids around the Nile

Watch the sun rise

From the tropic isle

Just remember darling

All the while

You belong to me

See the market place

In old Algiers

Send me photographs and souvenirs

Just remember

When a dream appears

You belong to me

And I'll be so alone without you

Maybe you'll be lonesome too

Fly the ocean

In a silver plane

See the jungle

When it's wet with rain

Just remember till

You're home again

You belong to me

// Hey guys, I have another long night ahead of me. However, I have a bunch of jumbled conspiracy theory thoughts I want to write down before I slip into the void. So, enjoy.

Recently we learned that Jingliu and Luocha lied about smuggling the Stellaron a board the Luofu so they could meet the Marshal and tell them about their plan to kill Yaoshi with West Nile Virus 9000. Which leaves the question: Who smuggled the Stellaron on?

Considering everything that we know, I've come up with a few ideas.

A faction we haven't heard of. This one feels like the most likely option in my opinion since both Luocha and the Stellaron Hunters said they didn't do it.

Aha. I say this because you can hear Aha's bells during the boss fight with Phantylia (here). This is also the guy who faked being human for a year on the Astral Express only to blow it up. So yeah, I can see them doing this, that or they compelled someone to do it since they're an Aeon and all.

The Preceptors. Honestly, given everything that we've seen and read, I can see them pulling a stunt like this. Remember, Taoran was only one of these fucks. You still have the head female Preceptor (the one complaining about the sea parting and Dan Heng coming back) and who ever Gouchen is (we don't know if they're a Preceptor or not, but considering that they're the one that handed over Bailu to Dan Shu it's safe to assume that Gouchen is heavily involved with the Preceptors or is one themselves).

The Stellaron Hunters....

So this is where the conspiracy theory part of this post comes in. We know that Kafka said that they didn't do it, and the Matrix of Prescience also cleared them of that and discerned their true purpose for boarding the Luofu. However, we know Kafka can make people forget stuff. We've seen it with Blade and Yanqing. What we don't know is if she can use her spirit whisper on herself. If possible, then to me, it makes their involvement even more likely. From what we've seen of them I can 100% see them manufacturing a crisis so that the Express Crew and the Alliance allies. It's all for Elio's script after all. But this is only if Kafka can use spirit whisper on herself.

I also think there's a possible lead with Jingliu and Luocha as to who smuggled in the stellaron. Due to the fact that they needed to know that a stellaron was on board in the first place in order to in act their plan.
