#Lockdown Cities

[chaoswarfare]

dp x dc prompt #34

Everyone always says that having a good reaction time is a great thing in a town where ghosts attack daily. Nobody ever warned him that sometimes it’s a bad thing to punch first and ask questions later.

Danny gets startled by Bane while wandering around Gotham, and punts him four blocks into a brick wall. Danny scrambles to get gone before anyone notices, but unfortunately for him, Gotham has eyes everywhere. And one Red Robin cannot believe that a twink of a guy just sent one of their physically strongest rogues flying like it was nothing.

First month on the job and Sun seems already smitten.

They're lonely and touchstarved your honour.

Tari is also practically vibing, which is a nice change for them.

Part 1/2

This was originally just something silly to explain their drastic design divergence from anything even remotely canon in this au, but I went and I turned it into angst cuz that's what I do best 🙃

i'm stupid so i absolutely did not put together Conrad Schintz as "conscience" until i saw someone in the tag point this out but now that it's in my dumb brain i can't stop thinking about it. Alex's choice to portray Conrad as this softspoken never speaks up but still has to do Something boy who is kind and thoughtful to a fault. pitch perfect character choices!!! but also this tiny quiet boy somehow being pegged by the heads of the city as the BIGGEST DISTRACTION to the big guy's goals and ambitions!! and then his choice of the important article to pay attention to being the culmination of Elias' months and months of research - specifically for the goal of, as Conrad put it, getting it before the "big wigs" could get to it. WHAT is Elias Hodge DOING for Gobstopper Industries??????

I'm so sorry about your job. Losing out to automation really fucking sucks. I know it doesn't help much now but fairly soon a lot of those companies will be finding out that AI is not a good enough replacement for humans and so those roles will be opening up again. I hope you find something to bridge the gap soon. Just remember that you're waay better at what you do than any AI and hopefully when those companies come crawling back you can demand a wage increase from them.

thank you for your kind words, they're truly appreciated. i'm trying really hard to stay positive and remind myself that things won't be like this forever, but it's just... difficult. the last time my life felt hopeful and like it was actually going somewhere was pre-pandemic, when i was studying for my master's degree - then covid hit and after that everything has just been going steadily downhill.

i hope you're right, and that things will improve; this is just one of those days where believing that feels like holding on to a cliff edge with my fingertips. praying that i will be able to make some sort of change, any change, before the year is out

Let us all send up a positive thought that I will get hired somewhere else soon, win the lottery, or my landlord will suddenly decide they don't care about rent

i love my sister and for the most part, we are very close and genuinely like each other a lot but the one place where i'd just really, really, really like to see inside her brain is the part where she is still incredibly comfortable and cheerful—and even thinks it's really funny—talking about how much she didn't like me as a child while I'm like. yes. I am and was aware. and it sucked so so so much

[siaradwast]

yk how like. some british people make "jokes" about school shootings in the usa which are obviously not at all funny. well not only is it not funny but also it's like. not hypocritical, exactly, but something like that. because whilst the usa's issue with violence against children is based around gun violence, the uk actually has a pretty similar issue with knife crime against children. so i think the bigger thing to focus on is "hey it's pretty fucked up that there is so much violence against children" rather than "at least we don't have guns". because whilst i don't agree with the first amendment, im not entirely sure guns themselves are the whole issue, since a similar level of knife crime exists in the uk.

basically: the "violence" part of "gun violence in the usa" is quite possibly the bigger thing to focus on rather than "gun", especially when you consider that you can say "knife violence in the uk" and it would be a comparable sentiment

it's been six days since the vienna shows have been cancelled and london starts in 48 hours and taylor still hasn't said anything at all, and like ... even a "vienna 💔" would've been enough, this was supposed to be her first time playing in austria and now it didn't happen and she isn't even acknowledging it and it just sucks to feel so overlooked after everything

Saw this bloke talking to* some teenagers last week and I'm pleased to see he's causing havoc.

*generally being a horse near, sticking his head over the fence, asking for apples, directing people not to look at the "don't feed the horse" and the "don't pet the horse" signs
