#NOT MY MOST HINGED OF POSTS

[gideonisms]

My deepest fantasy is to be mercymorn's stupid underling who she treats like I'm useless but due to my many years in customer service and my blatant autistic tendencies I pretend I'm too oblivious to notice until she has to admit her days are much easier when I'm working versus admiral sarpedon and gradually my combination of feigned innocence, ability to empathize without technically agreeing to anything, genuine human emotion peeking out from underneath several tantalizing layers of deflection, and let's be real my status as a nonthreatening gay friend remind her of the past she's left behind and she finally imprints on me to the point where she's left broken when I leave for $2 more per hour at a different job and has to confront who she truly is in a way she hasn't in 10 thousand years

in order to catch the killer Arthur must think like the killer, like really really think like the killer, practically become the killer, and-- oh. Oh dear. Arthur babygirl, maybe take a step back, you're thinking too much like the killer

what i say to my therapist: yeah im holding off on re-entering the dating scene right now bc im still working through a lot of trauma from my last relationship, this is the longest ive ever been single and i wanna make sure i know how to take care of myself and navigate sex & intimacy without retraumatizing myself or repeating old patterns like i have every time before

what i really mean: i can't go on the dating apps until i have a haircut that isn't so fuckin ugly

Are you still active?

Heyo! I took a big long break from all my sideblogs for a while because my grades were slipping really badly in Spring :') I'm doing summer courses now because I love to suffer but I'm not as busy, so I'm probably gonna get back to posting here again. Posts may be a little more sparse than before though.

I live! And I'm writing a fic

Hello, everyone! :) I've re-started the process of moving this blog over to a side blog (@darkeneddawning) when I have time. End goal is to have all my art and stuff from here over there, so my main blog (this one) can be used for everything. The side blog will be where I post new phandom art and stuff.

Hopefully the transfer isn't too confusing for everyone. If you want to follow me to see my phandom art and stuff, you might want to wait until my side blog is all caught up, or you'll be spammed with me reblogging all of my old art over there for the next while. I'll announce on this blog when it's done and wait at least a week so people have time to unfollow this blog if they don't want my reblogs of everything I like to clutter up their dashes.

But I'm too impatient to wait until I'm done with that before I start posting again, so here's a blurb from the DP x DC Circus Gothica crossover fic I'm writing! It's going to be a while before I can post it since I've got a lot going on and I'm a very slow writer so far, but I'm hoping posting about it will keep me motivated to continue working on it :)

It's not a very long blurb, but I'll put it under a read more anyway (along with a synopsis of the fic):

Fic synopsis:

Wait, but if I’m mind controlled, and you’re mind controlled, then who’s catching the evil ringmaster??

Jason wasn’t expecting to join the suspicious circus he was investigating on Dick’s behalf, but a day in found him planning a heist with his new posse of co-slaves. At least getting in on the action gave him the answers he was looking for, as well as some others to questions he’d forgotten he was still asking.

Or: A new circus rolls into Bludhaven, trailing a history of too many pilfered towns to be a coincidence. Dick asks Jason to look into it on account of Dick’s circus related trauma. Jason was expecting to find evidence, not a one-way ticket to minion town, or a mysterious boy who somehow calmed the insatiable waters of the pit. Who is this boy, and what can he teach Jason about himself?

----

Though he felt compelled to come, he didn’t know what was wanted of him now that he was here.

“This area is off limits to guests. Can I help you?”

That reaper kid from the performance, head attached, was looking at Jason with a raised brow. The same Red color that was swirling around Jason’s brain occupied the kid’s irises. Now he was up close, Jason could see how the kid’s stage eyeliner was only a slight enhancement to the genuine dark circles under his eyes. With those in addition to the gaunt hollowness of his cheeks, the kid looked like he hadn’t slept in years.

Jason smiled. It wasn’t a natural smile, but the Red liked it. “I’m here to, uh… cross over to the dark side?” That was all the Red was giving him to work with.

Reaper kid squinted at him, then drew back in surprise. “Woah, I totally thought you were human. Is that a disguise?” he asked, walking up to Jason.

“Disguise?” Jason glanced down at his body like it would clue him in to what reaper kid was talking about. He looked plenty human to himself. “What else would I be?” Was this important to the Red’s mission? Red was starting to feel a little more impatient.

“Uh, you know,” the kid gave a dismissive hand wave, but clarified: “Dead?”

biting thru my tongue torn btwn making a joke abt the mindcrack ep where bdubs talks about why he's going full time with mcyt because it has my favorite type of work gossip, contractors complaining about nightmare customers + insurance claims litigation as well as comments about male nurse but then it's just. i do remember things from 10 years ago bc i watched it like 2 years ago tops. but i can't win

[galacticlamps]

very minor thing I still definitely deserve a medal for:

being raised catholic, and now as an adult repeatedly falling in love with characters that fandoms like to declare catholic, but still managing to reject those headcanons because at heart I'm too much of a stickler for accurate analysis to get behind them when i know the person in question is really meant to be anglican/episcopalian/whatever other flavor of christian

i am being, as the poets say, so brave about it

So to recap the last 11 days I've:

- caught covid

- hyperfixated on superbat

- read about a million words of superbat fanfic

- watched my first DC movie (Injustice)

- somehow gotten even sicker

- finally gotten back to watching season four of Gunsmoke

- came up with no less than three separate superbat fic ideas that I cannot write because I'm still too sick

- gone to the ER because y'know covid (I'm fine btw, I promise! I'm back home now)

- came up with a Gunsmoke/DCU crossover fic that is so far beyond my current capabilities I swear on the karking Force

- started reading my first comic books (Injustice: Gods Among Us)

- written a superbat fansong because of said Gunsmoke/DCU crossover fic

- I'm still sick btw

- girl help?

Ok but Rust With You by spg is an extremely Karlach song. I think Karlach and Rabbit should hang out actually i think Karlach should wear the Rust With You leather jacket

(oc talk )

the most silly goofy thing ive done is my "nothing bad happens AU" , bc it´s in actuality a doomed narrative, a ticking time bomb that no one will actually be prepared for

the only reason the main timeline survives the way it does is bc through several tragic backstories, the characters end up exactly where theyre supposed to be and take care of blooming problems before they get out of hand, until the final conflict happens, by which point there arent really any loose ends and they can achieve relative peace.

but in this au the era of "peace" comes too early, with Caelios seemingly taking care of all the void issues and becoming somewhat of a pillar (such is the burden of the overpowered oc) , but a single person can only do so much and hes unknowingly covering only the superficial problems, which gives time to all the undetected ones to get stronger

And as another consequence of Caelios is that key players in the main story are severely weakened, Nyx never makes it out of egarim, Cindy and Akira, key players in the elimination of voids, straight up don't have to face any until after Caelios takes a hard blow, at which point they're incredibly screwed due to inexperience. Viv doesn't *exist*, Roy doesn't get his secondary ability and is perhaps a little unhinged

Just, there's all these little actions and roles characters play in the main story that might look dumb or unnecessary, but actually result in the only stable timeline via butterfly effect and i think thats great :D!

anyways!

apologies for the ramble, it will happen again lol

someday I will go insane and make a playlist of top tracks to grade to and you will all be like, “are you good?” and the answer is no

My favorite thing is people who talk in the tags about the reader's sex instead of plainly tagging the type of sex happening. That is 100% very helpful to people who do not want to read that. You clogging up the search results is very fun, and I hope you have a wonderful day absolutely free of vats of lego bricks. /sarcasm
