Tim whom is still banned from caffeine went into looking into other ways to get caffeine.

He went into anonymous source from someone name KingTuck4ever who talk about a energy drink that kept him up for weeks during a critical time of his life and Tim was at this point of desperate to spend any time of money he got.

Later that night, he received 6 very large Dark green boxes with a DP logo on it filled with Lightening Green tall soda cans with the name Ecto-Spark!, ingredients tags on the back, made with organic vegan products, DO NOT NEAR MEAT RELATED PRODUCTS, guaranteed to keep you caffeine deprived souls awake and alive enough to enjoy a night afterlife party! Or your money back.

Tim at the point didn't read the back as he pop open the top, smelling a strong scent of caffeine, carbonated bubble and a taste of lemon lime mixed with a tang flavor that had his mouth drowning nearly in drool.

He took only one experimental sip, before his eyes widen instantly and immediately began chugging the soda can for all the liquid caffeine it had inside. This was 1000 times better then Death Coffee Cup from his favorite Cafe that he was still banned from.

It felt like his whole body got electrified with energy and feel like he can run a whole 4 week marathon without breaking a sweat. This drink was like tasting nirvana after a week of being in a Gobi desert for his fucking soul.

.....

Bruce can never know about this. He can't tell anyone about this drink. Not Damian, Not dick, not step, maybe Jason, but Cass can kept a secret since she knew body language. He might possibly go rogue and kill Bruce himself if Bruce tried to take this from him.

Meanwhile Tucker was amazed of the total amount of money he received from the anonymous Caffine obsessed ghost. Usually he ended up receiving old relics, Egyptian related artifacts, gold coins, etc but this is a first he got actually modern day money.

Poor dude must've been recently form a core to spend that much money. Good thing he had send extra since he know how crazy those caffine-obsessed ghosts can be over the new drink he made specifically for himself, Sam and Danny but it's nice to have extra cash for new tech making. Especially since Danny became high king of the ghost zone when he became 20 year old, and the amount of paper works that had been left for dust collecting could filled a planet to the very brim.

Took him, Sam, Danny, Ghost writer and Techno 5 months to fully turn at least 26% of sacrifical gifts from ritual, contracts, conquests, complains from territorial ghosts about humans taking their land/house/property/or about their murder, help hundreds of ghosts stuck in their personal hell of a limbo of their own death, guy name Constantine whom was rapidly becoming a pain in Tucker's ass especially when he got one contract form his former previous life about this guy.

#dpxdc #dc x dp #danny phantom #dp x dc #dp x dc crossover #dc x dp prompt #dcxdp #danny is the ghost king #tucker still have some memories and knowledge of his ruling as the pharoah #tucker sell ecto-made caffeine soda to Caffine-obsessed ghost for money #tucker is still liminals due to unfinished business from his pararoh life #he doesnt know why but he fucking hate Constantine #tim got his hand on caffeine soda that mostly ectoplasm and became feral obsessed over it like a starved cat caught with a fish in his mout #Tim lives and dies for caffeine #tim got a barely liminal core that just got fully charged into a full core #once he drank all the soda and have a full on crash to wake up half way in the floor to fully panic later #dead tired

forever thinking about that part in people love dead jews about how it's a myth that the workers on ellis island forcibly changed people's last names and most jews just petitioned in court to have their names changed because of all the antisemitism that came with being identifiably jewish.

specifically, i'm thinking of this one guy called louis goldstein who was talking about how his name is a curse and it's impossible to live a good life in the united states while being called louis goldstein, except the judge was also called louis goldstein and was like "hey excuse you what the fuck"

#louis goldstein on louis goldstein violence #there was genuinely a ton of housing and employment discrimination #so having what people could identify as a jewish name did (and for many still does) make life harder #the section is mainly a reflection on why this has gone down in the historical memory as name changes being imposed #but the louis goldsteins live rent free in my head #antisemitism #jewish history #people love dead jews #jumblr

patron saint of never growing old

#i think theres something uniquely tragic about how we never know what tessa looked like when she was alive #and that the only reason we have an idea of her appearance is via cyn wearing her skin #i interpret the humans being depicted as glitchy silhouettes to be very literal; the MDs barely remember what they look like #due to their memories being fucked with so frequently. and that makes the cynessa reveal a lot worse imo #to see something- someone- that you once remembered to be warm and familiar contorted into something unrecognizable and dangerous #and being unable to remember what she looked like before being puppeted by a monster #you try to imagine her face- young bright and happy- but can only visualize her dead skin stretching unnaturally across robotic features #belonging to the source of all your suffering and trauma.#guh. she was just a kid. man #never got to grow up. never got to get away from her shitty parents. never got to live before she died. whatever. im normal #murder drones #murder drones fanart #murder drones tessa #tessa james elliot #tessa elliot #tessa murder drones #md tessa #gloom.art

As per usual, it’s DP crossover with (probably) DC, although you could probably adjust it for other fandoms

ANYWAYS

A little kid and his mother are trick or treating in another city, perhaps at some kind of event rather than knocking on doors, and the kid is dressed as Phantom. It’s very adorable, with his little ghost-shaped bucket and clearly homemade and already stained costume—listen, white only works if you can just fly over street grime or phase it out of your clothes—and his slightly I’ll fitting wig. The kid is SO happy to be out and about dressed as his favorite, and maybe even showed it off to Phantom back in Amity Park before his family left.

The hero, insert whoever you wish here, is probably in civvies and just enjoying the event. The kid, meanwhile, is so glad when people ask who he is so he can explain, and so- the hero gets to hear ALL ABOUT the local town hero who is probably pretty small time despite the kid’s clearly exaggerated stories. The hero certainly never heard of him, but the kid’s mom confirms that Phantom really was the town hero, despite some mixed reviews of the poor guy.

“Did you manage to show him your costume?” the hero asks.

“Yeah! We went down to the cemetery to leave flowers and I got to show him my costume.”

Wait. Cemetery? Maybe it was part of theme, because Phantom had to be named that for a reason, but… it sounded like…

The kid ignores the suddenly VERY still hero and instead turns to his mom. “Momma, do you think we should bring him candy? He doesn’t get to trick or treat like we do, and I can work super hard to get him a bunch!”

The kid’s mom just smiles. “We could, but maybe we should bring him something homemade. I bet he’d like something more filling, teen boys like him have a hollow leg.”

The kid wrinkles his nose. “Like Vernie with the pizza bagels?”

“Like your cousin, yes. We can make some cinnamon rolls and take them to his memorial, maybe bring some of the apples from your grandpa’s garden…”

The hero is pretty much forgotten as the two-part family wanders off, not quite intentionally forgetting the hero is there so much as the hero somewhat accidentally ended the conversation when they just froze and didn’t ask anything further.

Not that the hero didn’t want to. But they’d learn something very serious.

One—there was a small town hero they’d never heard of. Two—that hero was apparently a teen. Third—most pressingly, the teen hero was both beloved enough to have kids dressing up as him and dead enough to have a grave.

This… might require some phone calls.

#dpxdc #danny phantom crossover #meanwhile Danny. sitting on a giant marble slab that has the most ridiculous gag gifts a ghost could ever ask for #he’s just like Oh Sweet Cinnamon Rolls!#he would try to convince people to bring him nasty burger but while val has MOSTLY gotten over her vindictive anger at Phantom DOES decide #that she’s gonna be petty and add cilantro to everything #because Danny has the cilantro soap gene #jokes on her he’ll still eat it #Danny likes his little memorial in the grave. it helps settle him sometimes. also he’s gotten to know the security guards for the cemetery #they’re fun. a bit morbid. they LIKE his jokes so you can stuff it JAZZ #MEANWHILE the hero. Whomstever they are but like 90% of you are thinking either batfam or Justice league #are having just. a TOUCH of a crisis #now they gotta figure out where the kid and his mom are from without either of them figuring out #dealer’s choice on what the GIW and why Amity Park isn’t on the radar #I’ll add my two cents bc when don’t I but I’m by and large not like… dictating this? anyways #I like making the GIW just a BIT more incompetent or just having some massive flaws as an organizational group #so they keep forgetting to tell people to not LEAVE and to keep quiet #average amity Parker if the GIW tried this anyways: aw that’s cute. anyways-#and if it’s dc I guess you need to figure out how the jl never found out. so #i mean there’s a LOT of heroes and cities in dc #and amity park is just lost to the noise or. bc Fenton bad luck #every time Danny tried to call. the jl had some insane disaster and or their systems were down #he eventually figured he might actually be cursed- jury’s still out on that -and he’s saving lives by just handling it himself #he can handle rhe metaphorical mega thunderstorms if it means he doesn’t accidentally summon a fucking tsunami to hit the planet ya know?#the kid and the mom have no idea that what they said was Odd #they are just so used to it. amity park already was using death puns and had an. interesting history and relation with death #even BEFORE there was a dead kid flying around in his white gogo boots

how cruel, how comforting

#long post #hollow knight #hollow knight fanart #hornet hollow knight #herrah the beast #forget about hornets dad issues her MOM issues omg #she had to live with her mothers comatose half dead body for how long??#do you think that screws with a person? because she knows her mothers face and probably has a few memories of her from when she was little #but hornet never really *knew* herrah #she only knew her corpse #so #whether this is really herrah or hornet’s radiance fueled fever dream can be up to interpretation #my art

something happening on a mission, something personal that has soap spiralling; panic and rage making him reckless, thoughtless, and ghost has to draw the line

“you’re compromised johnny; you know what that means?”

“you’re not pulling me out,” soap immediately snarls. he turns on him and ghost barely recognises him; venomous fear turning his eyes to unyielding ice. "you're not sidelining me; i need to be in this-!"

but ghost has never been afraid of venom; spat or dripped straight from bared fangs.

he snakes out a hand grip the back of his neck, jerking him in a rough shake. "if you can't think, you can't be a soldier," he growls and he flinches like he's been struck.

his lips quiver as they twist in a sneer and he wrenches, trying to free himself of his hold.

ghost doesn't let him.

"it means you give your body to me because your head ain't fucking attached to it anymore."

soap stills, body trembling beneath his hand as he sucks in shaking breaths.

he tightens his grip, pulling him closer and digs his forehead hard into his. “it means you give yourself to me so i can have the weapon that you are and use you the way you're meant to be used."

the ice in soap's eyes fractures.

ghost’s voice drops to a whisper, spoken only to johnny, not this facade of vengeance and pain, and wills it to reach him through the glaciers.

“so i can keep you safe ‘til it’s done and i can bring you back.”

#in my head its bc graves abducts his sister and is using her as hostage to draw him out knowing ghost will always follow him #but the intensity and intimacy of saying ‘you cant trust your mind not to betray you so let me be in charge of your body until you can��#after what happened to tommy he could never deny johnny his right to save his sister #but its bc of what happened to tommy that he knows he cant let him do it alone with only his rage to guide him #hes more likely to get himself killed and ghost wont live through that #so he has to balance it #and the only way he knows how is to completely shut down soap’s mind until hes no more than instinct and muscle memory #if he cant think practically then dont let him think at all #reduce him to a place where he can only follow orders #and when its finally over and his sister is safe and graves is dead #only then will he drag johnny back up to the surface #he’ll do it even if it means dragging him kicking and screaming back to humanity #instead of letting him sink in the depths where nothing hurts. theres no fear down there. no pain. only order #and thats the risk ghost took sending johnny to that place but he only did it bc he would stop at nothing to bring him back #and help him through the after #the breakdown. the rush of panic and rage and relief and anguish johnnys been supressing on his order #it was his word that turned johnny into a ghost #and its his touch that brings him back to the man #coming out of my cage and ive been doing just fine.txt #we’re a team. ghost team #cod #soapghost #ghostsoap #ghost x soap #ghoap #simon ghost riley #ghost cod #john soap mactavish #soap cod #save post

my personal headcanon is the vees were unremarkable nobodies when they were alive. i just love it as a thematic throughline for them. they love to let the public of hell speculate on them being famed and acclaimed since before death, but the the truth is they were a d-list failed influencer that got by on cheap controversey and scamming, a broke junkie who burned every shaky bridge he ever had, and a worn-out broadcast production assistant with more rejected auditions and tossed out script pitches than he could count. nobody missed them when they were gone, nobody cared who they were until they were dead.

#because villains who didn't start off supremely powerful are more interesting to me #vees #it's not that they CAN'T be better. or that they're simply ignorant of the ways they fuck up others lives #they actually all do have that knowledge of being the underdog. and it's made them all the more shitty #because they never want to be those people again #narratives about people who make each other worse <3 #to be clear they were still shitty people in life. manipulative. consumed by greed and envy. all their individual flaws etc etc #but hell made them into the absolute worst versions of themselves #of course what their Worst Self is and the journey/length of time/initial reaction to being in hell varies #like val sees hell as a continuation of the things happening in life. just w/ the power dynamics always privileging him #it's the same drugs and violence. except the violence isn't just survival anymore but the chance to indulge his deeply sadistic desires #vox has completely dissociated from his time alive. that person is dead and he's reinvented himself 1000 times over since then #90% of the time he has those memory files shoveled into a hidden directory #he refuses to acknowledge that he's still haunted by some of the same insecurities from almost a century ago #val doesn't necessarily see his living self in a fond light but he does see that person as fundamentally him #velvette thinks life was full of people who weren't her demographic but fortunately that's been fixed by sinners!#they just couldn't Get Her and that was all their faults #the primary way they view their past selves can be summed up as: scorn (vox) apathy (valentino) and in denial (velvette)#sorry the bulk of the post was in the tags. i will be doing this again #the scorn is the coping mechanism for shame. of course

really fighting to accept & make peace with the ways i will never find the things i lost, or never again have them in the same way. also trying to be liberated by this

#THE TOWER #i wish i could crawl back inside memories and be held by everyone #& laugh with everyone again #& play the role i played as the person i was #but now it’s like. okay i am without all of this #i am without these people these places etc #we are not friends anymore #some people i loved do not know me anymore #i do not have to drag their dead weight forward i do not have to drag their dead weight forward #i do not have to hold onto the warmth i once felt it is no longer mine #WHAT NOW WHAT NOW WHAT NOW #I WANT TO LIVE AS FULL AS I DID BEFORE I KNEW HOW EASY IT WAS TO LOSE EVERYONE!

Who had the worst time aboard the TARDIS?

TOURNAMENT MASTERPOST

#genuinely vote peri #i've not seen all of her stories but my god from what i've seen the 80s writers hated her #there are some stories where she'd probably be better off dead #she seems to be in a constant living torturous hell with 6 being constantly nasty too her #this poor woman #okay specific example #her first trip after her introduction (recounted from memory so some details my be wrong)#she and the doctor unknowingly touch a poisonous plant which will kill them slowly and painfully (but fast enough she almost dies by the en #so great they need to find a cure #which is horrendously difficult to find in the best of circumstances #but these aren't the best of circumstances #they get taken hostage pretty quickly and very nearly get executed by firing squad #they get rescued by one of the most unnerving villains i think in the entire show #he creeps on peri constantly #like he gets as close to assaulting her as its possible to depict on tea time telly #and peri can't do anything about it #her life is entirely in this guys hands #like most of the time i find caves of androzani the be so hyperviolent as to be funny #but jesus christ the shit they put peri through in it #anyway by the end she's so ill the doctor has to drag her near lifeless body back to the tardis #gives her the cure and then promptly regenerates #and now peri's nice friendly doctor is uhh tv 6 #bad times: quarters

hmm... in a "Charlie gets wings" scenario, which sparks more joy...

the idea of Charlie very awkwardly unfolding a pair of gold angel wings that almost perfectly match Adam's (the ones her mom would have had if Lilith hadn't gone all demon) except they have only one stripe (like Vaggie's) and Vaggie is gleefully assuring her gf that she wears them SO MUCH BETTER than Adam ever did

OR, Charlie deliberately giving herself a pair of dragon-like wings, to match with Razzle (and the fallen Dazzle), setting herself completely apart from angelic dad bc she's hellborn and proud of it

XD charlie getting the gold ones and being all "nooo.... nnnoooooooo i don't want those... icky, icky associations... let's just trade them out ok???"

and THEN making herself the demon wings like aaahhhh yessss MUCH better o^w^o

(vaggie waking up next morning to find Charlie not in bed but something overhead SNORES, and it's her girlfriend, her gf has become a sleepy demon-winged cocoon snuggle blob, hanging upside down from their bed canopy by her demon tail, crashing on top of vaggie with a yelp the moment vaggie tries tentatively poking her gf awake with one of her own feathery wings) (it Tickled)

#hazbin hotel #charlie morningstar #vaggie #chaggie #razzle and dazzle hazbin hotel #charlie equips wings au #like the gold wings would match her hair pretty nice #and can you IMAGINE the look on lute's FACE if she saw her dead boss / bro's fancy angel wings on the princess of HELL??? XD #on the other hand #Demon Wings Hot #plus... charlie being like a living memorial to dazzle...#and 100% done looking up to heaven- happy and proud to be of hell instead #she doesn't need wings to be that #but i like wings #charlie and the excitement of wings wearing off real fast #while she knocks something over with them accidentally AGAIN #and then SITS ON THEM #and realizes why her dad and girlfriend like keeping theirs tucked away most of the time
