Ah shit aight okay I do PSAs like this like, 3 times a year so here's the first one:
Father's Day is this Sunday, it's a painful day for me, I avoid it like the plague & have the tag blocked. Please don't send my muses anything to do with it. Don't bring it up to me. If you're feeling extra nosey, I'll explain why below.
Tw: parental death
Tldr: my dad dead lmao
The long version: my dad passed in a combo of a widow maker heart attack + car accident simultaneously, I have a lot of trauma regarding car accidents bc I saw the remnants of his truck across the highway on the way to the hospital, it was literally 6 days before Christmas.
+ the other father figure I had also died, and post death I found out the most awful shit about him so I can't even think of him in a positive light & I still can't bring myself to write or talk about what I was told because it's. Yeah.
So basically, dad's day??? No.
December 19th??? No.
Chrimmus??? Also no.
#𝕻𝖊𝖙𝖆𝖑𝖘 𝖎𝖓 𝖙𝖍𝖊 𝖜𝖎𝖓𝖉: [ o o c ]#[ someone told me i had daddy issues a few months back and it felt like a damn choir began to sing as i got to finally ]#[ drop the “funny you say that. my dad's dead.” card. they stopped talking to me & apparently deleted their account after lmao. ]#[ i use dark humor to cope with it but its smth that still haunts me 19 years later i cannot lie. ]#tw: death#tw: parental death

So you know how you can feel the hyper fixation slipping and it sucks but there's nothing you can do about it but mentally grip tighter to the shreds, even as they dissapate like mist in your metaphorical hands?
You know how things in your life start to go wrong, and you know you have to prioritize the important things before the fun things even though it sucks but leaving [financial/family/mental/medical] unaddressed would be worse?
You know how, when you stop interacting with people and you want to start talking to them again, but it's been an awkward amount of time so you feel weird reaching out because it's been so long without communication and what if they don't want to talk to me anymore?
You know how you have these plans of things you were going to do, planned on doing, and then something falls through and the ever looming guilt means you can't even bear to look at something you used to be excited about? And you can tell yourself that fan art/fic/theories/etc isn't the rent yoy pay as price of admission but it still doesn't help?
.
.
.
Yeah, me neither
#tw personal#i had lots of irl things going on over the past few months#and it sucked#it's not completely over#but I'm almost through it#just gotta cross the last name off of my hit list#because dark humor is a totally valid coping strategy so long as you avoid defeatism#reach out to someone if you're having a hard time#don't be ashamed or afraid to use a suicide hotline. that's what they're there for

Other people rating Uber drivers: "Nice driver, was on time and drove safely. 4/5 ⭐"
Me (a woman living in Mexico): "He had a good playlist and didn't try to kidnap me. 5/5 ⭐"
#this is dark humor to cope with the fact that taking any transportation service in Mexico is a ruse rulette#I hate using Uber specially in long distance drives#the fact that you need to be ready to jump from a moving car at any moment :)#freedle rants

fair warning, gonna talk about suicidal ideation a bit. pretty lighthearted but tread careful if that upsets you.
anyway, i was talking to that one friend i can talk to about anything, and I said something like "i'm not really suicidal anymore, but it's still just kind of a reflex whenever something goes wrong to think to myself 'I'm gonna kill myself'". And my friend burst out laughing and said, "that's just a reflex for you?"
#tw suicidal ideation#tw self harm#both of us cope with dark thoughts using humor so...#i wasn't trying to be funny but it did feel good to be able to laugh with them about it

Oh no
The 23rd anniversary of 9/11 is in 2 weeks and I can smell all the edgelord memes and shitposting people on this site are going to reblog from a mile away.
#i mean as someone born in new york and whose family used to visit the wtc before 9/11#and gets triggered over 9/11 as a whole because it was such a traumatic event#i can handle a few memes#but mostly from Americans because we use dark humor to cope with trauna#but if you're somewhere like canada or uk or Australia or europe#or any other place where people call us yanks#it isnt as funny and makes you look like an asshole#but i also dont want to control what other people post#no just because i get emotional over 9/11 doesnt mean i supported the iraq war#i have Palestinian heritage ffs and everyday over there is a 9/11

it’s my turn to go and I’m making a left into the parking lot. I have a green arrow :)
this car, I shit you not, is coming at me going at least 60 miles an hour :)
I am this close to being t-boned :)
My life literally flashed before my eyes :)
I park my car :)
I go inside the library :)
“Can I renew this?” :)
“Sure! Let me just—oh, I’m so sorry…” :(
“…”
“Someone has placed this on hold”
fighting back tears with a smile :) “oh, that’s okay!”
I almost died for nothing :)
can I indirectly blame this on Paul Mescal
I’m joking :) I just :)
#idk what to tag this as#tw I almost died#??? idk#I use dark humor to cope I’m sorry#all that just for the book to be on fucking hold#my friend then bought me normal people after my near-death experience#I almost cried :)

Tim Drake’s Coworkers (ft. The Fenton Family)
It’s not that Tim doesn’t like the Batfamily. He tolerates them just fine. Damian is great for sparring (if you like sparring with a tiny murder machine), and Jason’s brand of dark humor isn’t too bad once you get used to it. Dick’s a bit too much sometimes, but overall? Fine. Totally fine.
But the thing is… they’re just his coworkers.
And it never really clicks for the Bats until Danny Phantom joins the Justice League and everything starts unraveling.
———
The revelation comes during a League meeting. They’re strategizing about some ghost-related chaos, and Danny floats into the Watchtower, bright and glowing.
“Oh, hey, Tim,” Danny greets casually, giving him a little wave.
Tim doesn’t even look up from his tablet. “Sup.”
Superman looks between them, confused. “…you two know each other?”
Danny grins. “yeah, he’s my brother.”
Dead silence.
“WHAT?!” Bruce’s bellow shakes the entire room.
Tim finally looks up, unfazed. “What? Did you think I just spawned into existence?”
“You have a brother?!” Clark sputters.
“Two siblings, actually,” Tim corrects, utterly nonchalant. “Danny’s the younger one. Jazz is the older one. She’s great. Super organized. Kept me alive in middle school.”
Bruce’s eye twitches. “Why—why am I only learning this now?”
Tim shrugs. “It didn’t seem relevant.”
“Relevant?” Diana repeats, incredulous. “You’re the brother of Danny Phantom and it’s not relevant?”
Danny, who’s been munching on some ectoplasm candy, jumps in: “Honestly, Tim’s always been kind of private about his personal life. We just figured it was his way of coping with the whole ‘raised-by-rich-neglectful-aunt’ thing.”
“Yeah, about that,” Tim interjects, glaring at Danny. “Thanks so much for dumping me with Aunt Janet, by the way.”
Danny shrugs sheepishly. “Mom and Dad panicked! They thought you’d get ghost-napped next!”
“Uh, correction: Aunt Janet left me to raise myself, so that plan was awesome.”
Bruce, trying to keep up, interrupts: “Hold on. Your parents left you with Janet Drake?”
“They didn’t know she sucked at raising kids,” Tim deadpans. “And to be fair, they did call. A lot. I just didn’t pick up.”
Jason, who has been cackling this entire time, leans forward. “Wait, wait, wait—so you’re telling me that the Replacement’s entire family is a bunch of ghost hunters?”
“Yup.” Danny pops the “p” with a grin.
“You’re kidding me,” Steph says, borderline hysterical.
Tim sighs, clearly over it. “Look, it’s not a big deal. Jazz keeps the parents in check, Danny handles the ghost stuff, and I… stay out of the way. It’s fine.”
“FINE?” Damian glares. “Drake, you’ve been fraternizing with ghost hunters while working with a vigilante group, and you think that’s fine?”
Tim raises an eyebrow. “Dami, chill. It’s not like it affects work. You’re my coworkers. They’re my family. Separate categories.”
Cue collective Batfamily malfunction.
———
Later, Danny is chilling in the Batcave, feet kicked up on the Batcomputer, chatting with Alfred. The rest of the Bats are still spiraling.
“Tim, we’ve lived together for years!” Dick exclaims, sounding genuinely hurt. “How are we only your coworkers?”
“You’re not my family,” Tim explains, like it’s the most obvious thing in the world. “Danny and Jazz are my family. You guys are my teammates. It’s different.”
Jason throws his head back, laughing. “Oh my god, Replacement, you’re stone cold.”
“I’m not cold,” Tim argues. “I just don’t think we need to make it more complicated than it is. We work together. That’s enough.”
Meanwhile, Danny is wiping tears of laughter off his face. “Oh man. Jazz is gonna love this.”
#tim drake#batfam#danny phantom#danny fenton#dc x dp#fenton family supremacy#tim drake has priorities#imagine being called a coworker by your brother#jazz and danny are his real family#middle child tim#this explains so much#family vs coworkers#batfam shenanigans#i love this concept so much

“asian moms” this “asian parents” that can we please normalize the idea of asian parents who actually show love and support to their children instead of abusing them? can we stop accepting abuse and control as “asian culture”?
#and yes this is coming from an asian who has toxic parents#i know that a lot of us are coping with dark humor#but let's please stop the jokes about abuse#asian parents are capable of change they're capable of love and they should take responsibility for their actions#this shouldn't be part of our culture#we can only change if we stop saying “thats just how asian parents are”

#im actually shocked our dark humour hasn't made its way to the foreign media#like we deal woth trauma through extremely inappropriate dark humor that's what we do#(i have holocaust jokes that if you aren't jewish would make you extremely antisemitic if you told them)#and i just know that if anyone saw what we do to cope not only would they hate us#but they would try to kill us themselves
