Hereās a sort ofā¦. Prompt? Headcanon? Idea?? For Danny Phantom.
Letās go with the,, semi-fanon idea of cores. We see the Far Frozen with ice powers, with their whole little civilization. They are ALSO the only ghosts we see that have any medical knowledge.
So what if ghosts with ice cores had healing powers? Danny is very durable, but he also (probably) has advanced healing.
Idk, itād be a fun possibility to explore Danny āplays as a tank in irl superheroics 4 times out of 5ā Phantom finding out he can heal people while doing a school-mandated cpr class.
#danny phantom#dp#bonus points if itās just shy of necromancy but that might be a different turn#did my school do mandated cpr training? no. but we did do mandated self defense training so. I imagine itās possible#I have made a story or two where Danny had healing powers#but up to you how they work#and technically the way I made them in this one story was an indirect use of two different powers#I can explain if someone is SUPER curious but this particular. prompt? is like#him DIRECTLY having healing powers#heās just hovering his hands and lil glowy snowflakes start drifting down and healing the person#Tucker is like Oh Hey This Means Iāll Just Go To Danny For Medical Stuff#the b plot is getting Tucker to get his damn shotsā¦ cartoon logic says somehow he gets them done at the vet#it just popped into my head you donāt gotta do that lol#Sam meanwhile is like. hm. homeopathy bc sheās not. AGAINST doctors and medical schools per se#but sheās protesting something or another about them#probably concerns about medical mistreatment#meanwhile Danny is like I Did Not Agree To Be The Medic!#heās played video games okay HE KNOWS HOW THAT GOES DOWN.#ā¦. I also really like battle and field medics in general in fiction so this is me and my blatant attempts for More Of That#feel free to crossover but just by itself it seems fun :3

Not me creeping up to the wordcount of the fourth longest book ever written
#A Reflection of Starlight#AROS#valvert#fanfic#writing#Hey I switched back to LibreOffice again after setting up my new computer#(RIP my old computer's installation of MS Office 2009)#And also my old computer in general as it is now giving me the blue screen of death upon boot#but ANYWAY#does anybody know how to make LibreOffice stop highlighting formatted areas? BC with Dark Mode it's highlighting white text#which makes it impossible to read my footnote and page numbers#Also I CANNOT believe this program was coded to be so that 'Ignore' and 'Ignore All' options only do so for the CURRENT SESSION ONLY#Like what in god's name???#I spent 3-4 hours reformatting AROS after converting it only to learn that all the 'errors' I told it to ignore just popped back#the second I reopened the document like jesus christ#Why even offer those options if it doesn't do it permanently for that document file#HHHHHHHhhhhhhHHHHHH#I then spent another several hours being forced to change the language formatting to French for all the French bits#JUST so it would stop underlining all of them in red#And there's no way for me to get rid of the underlining on things like cut off bits of dialogue#bc they are NOT proper words and I refuse to add them to my Dictionary (thus polluting it) just to get rid of them#Ugh#So anyway remember years ago how I joked about what if I accidentally wrote a fanfic longer than the source material itself#That being one of the longest books ever written (technically THE longest book ever written#if we're counting the FRENCH version of it and not the English translation#And yeah I know I technically split AROS into 3 books but that was only for reader convenience#It's still one book in my heart#And also because I think it would be REALLY funny to surpass Hugo's wordcount#Which is entirely plausible bc in English it was only about 531k so I only a little over 100k off and I think I can easily make that#with the material I have left to write but is already mostly plotted out

WRT the fraudulent itch.io takedown, the siterunner specifically blames:
BrandShield.com, the company Funko hired to shoot off their takedown notices for them.
Itch's domain registrar iwantmyname.com, which didn't respond appropriately.
leafo 2 days ago | next [ā]
I'm the one running itch.io, so here's some more context for you:
From what I can tell, some person made a fan page for an existing Funko Pop video game (Funko Fusion), with links to the official site and screenshots of the game. The BrandShield software is probably instructed to eradicate all "unauthorized" use of their trademark, so they sent reports independently to our host and registrar claiming there was "fraud and phishing" going on, likely to cause escalation instead of doing the expected DMCA/cease-and-desist. Because of this, I honestly think they're the malicious actor in all of this. Their website, if you care: https://www.brandshield.com/
About 5 or 6 days ago, I received these reports on our host (Linode) and from our registrar (iwantmyname). I expressed my disappointment in my responses to both of them but told them I had removed the page and disabled the account. Linode confirmed and closed the case. iwantmyname never responded. This evening, I got a downtime alert, and while debugging, I noticed that the domain status had been set to "serverHold" on iwantmyname's domain panel. We have no other abuse reports from iwantmyname other than this one. I'm assuming no one on their end "closed" the ticket, so it went into an automatic system to disable the domain after some number of days.
I've been trying to get in touch with them via their abuse and support emails, but no response likely due to the time of day, so I decided to "escalate" the issue myself on social media.
#itch.io#funko pop#brandshield#iwantmyname#further down there are people suggesting that .io tld management itself fucked up#this would not be the first time that's happened. i don't think .io is a safe tld for hosting user-generated content/marketplace services.#itch#io tld

Could I ask where I can find the more "spicy art" for your MH fic?
So far, there's honestly not much, only two pieces for Sorry, It's Locked and like literally one for another fic, tho hopefully that'll change sometimes soon if I can finally get my ass into gear and start working on more porn art for S,IL, cos I've already started one, then I just immediately abandoned it with the sketch not even done. My brain got on such a fluff art kick. OMG I meant to do art for finger painting too, how tf did I forget about that???
Anyway:
My Girl chapter 2 art this has dick
Sorry, It's Locked chapter 4 art this has Tim boobs in a see through tank top
When I Call The Shots art this has Alex in lingerie tied up
#nsft#nsft in the links :] techniclally the post itself is fine lol#i might pop a link to the squidge albums in general in my pinned so its easy to find all the art in one place for people#marble hornets#marble hornets fanart#mh sorry its locked#fic/series rated e on ao3#in case anyone would prefer not to read that

I need people to stop thinking of robots and AI in their current states of advancement as conscious beings. It's a weird amount of anthropomorphization that really misses the mark on what the concerns surrounding these things should be. When you start talking about AI and robots as anything but tools, you begin to view robots and AI themselves as the problem instead of the people in charge of them and what they're being used for. It also makes you sound like a luddite who thinks the voice in their smartphone is Literally The Devil.
#your concerns first and foremost should be tangible things like workers rights. not some wishy washy Pure Human Spirit shit#like can we focus on things that can actually be fixed instead of your own personal beef with Soulless Robots(tm)#also it leads to an extremely annoying amount of scaremongering#'omg guys look š±š±š± this ai said it wants to take over the world š±š±š±' it is a generative text model.#you literally told it to say that. chatgpt is not planning world domination just because you asked it to tell you abt world domination.#it is physically incapable of thinking in the way that we think. it does not have emotions either.#i know ppl are allergic to nuance abt ai on here but yknow. shouting into the void#if ur boss is trying to replace you with ai perhaps the problem is with ur boss and not with ai#because if ai didn't exist and some cheaper easier alternative to hiring employees at a full wage & benefits popped up--#--ur boss would be all over that alternative too. bc it is literally just smth to hold over ur heads to stop u from asking for better pay#or better conditions/benefits/hours/etc.#idk im rambling but my point is that ur boss will always find a boogeyman to scare you into settling for less. its not new or unique to ai#ergo... perhaps ai itself is not the issue here and we should focus less energy at ai itself and more energy at the people wielding it--#--against workers.#please please pleaseeeeeee use ur critical thinking skills im beggingggggggggg dont be stupid about this#talking

Can someone please either validate me or send me to the Corner of Shame? This is very silly but I'm wondering.
So. I was talking to my sister the other day about movies and such, and she told me of one she recently watched with this one actor. And I casually mentioned how much I hated him. Not in a "he's a bad actor" or "he's a bad person" way. Nothing to do with whether I find him attractive or not. Just in a "he looks the most punchable guy on earth and I have this irrational rage against him" way, to the point that I just can't watch movies with him without being annoyed.
My sister looked at me like I was crazy because, "what do you mean you hate the guy". And I told her yeah? That's normal? Don't you have at least one person you can't stand for no reason?
Sister was like š¬š¬š¬ No??? Which is wild to me, because I could easily name 50 (which I did - not 50 but we were getting close to 20 before i got too annoyed lmao).
Now she thinks I'm slightly insane (/j) (I made myself angry and may have referred to a few individuals as "stupid" and "obnoxious"), and I kinda don't believe I am the only person alive who feels this way. But also she's an incredibly empathetic extrovert, while I'm a very low empath socially anxious creechur so. There's that?? I guess ?? Idk.
Can anyone relate to this? Or am I the weird one?
Also wait. Little disclaimer: I am not generally a violent person AT ALL. Do i get annoyed and angry easily? Yeah. Do I feel like bitch slapping someone right across their stupid face? Yeah, sometimes, sure. Do I do something about it? Not really.
I can be real bitchy and extra sarcastic and petty SURE, but that's the most I'll do if I am legitimately angry. Mostly I just go to my room and cry š„ŗ (crying when angry yes it me). So yeah. Before yall think I have unsolved anger issues.
#if you're curious. the guy in question is ThimothĆ©e Chalamet#look. from what i've seen he's good at his job and he seems a genuinely nice guy#nothing against him at all like. you go timmy šš#i do however have an illogical boiling rage against him#i don't know what it is but i genuinely feel like punching his face everytime he pops up#maybe in another universe we were arch enemies. maybe i was his school bully. maybe HE was my school bully idk#obviously i would never do anything like that but if there's one person that looks like it could use a wedgie is him#and don't get me wrong. i DO feel about about it cus it's not like i'm choosing to be irrationally angry#and this goes for a bunch of other people#i just!!! š”š”š”#seeing him (as in his vibe and general presence. nothing to do with physical appearance)#is the equivalent of trying to use cling film while it keeps sticking to itself#you know that one family guy scene with Peter and the cling wrap?? YEAH. THAT. genuinely so annoyed#i've always assumed this was a common thing. as in. there's always at least one person that gets on your nerves for absolutely no reason#but i guess maybe not???? *am* i a hater???#and btw this ONLY happens with either celebrities (in various degrees)#or people irl i've had some close proximity to <- and in this case it's always justified. i don't generally hate irl people out of nowhere#(okay there is ONE person in specific BUT i do feel slightly justified IMO. and in any case i always make sure to be as nice as possible)#(because poor girl didn't really do nothing wrong. i just have never vibed with her. i tried!! but yeah)#idk where i'm going with this lmao i might just ending up deleting it#whatever. don't worry guys you're all safe i love you very much and wouldn't slap any of you (unless asked you little freaks š)#darya talks to herself

thinking about how in DAI's Jaws of Hakkon the spirits have been calling the Inquisitor "the one who blazes like fire".
thinking about how Cole supports that because he says in a few banters that he can't see through the Inquisitor because they're too bright, because of the anchor
thinking about the confirmation that elves come from spirits
thinking about how Sera was always hinted to be closer to her spiritual nature and that it's, in a way, likely why she rejected current elven culture
thinking about how Sera's ears point where the Fade is, how Sera sees more into the Breach, how Sera has instincts she can't explain that makes her more Elfy
thinking about Solas saying she had "a purity of purpose", and also says "We are not so far apart, you and I." when Sera describes how she sees the Breach
thinking about how, when meeting Sera, the first thing she asks the Inquisitor is "so you're the one who glows?"
#i've been thinking about this sort of lore things while falling asleep or waking up these days#normal icha mood#but i also i was always fascinated by Sera and the implications around her character#[hot take] but in a sense i think she's similar to Oghren about how they're both people who are closer to their inherent nature as dwarf/el#but the society that built itself around the loss of this nature staked the decks in a way that alienates and isolates them#which make them fail by default at the rules of their cultures despite this sensitivity rarely anyone have#i was a elves=spirits truther since DAI so the reveals didn't change that to me#i always looked into Sera's contents with interest#i remember also a theory of how she may have inherited Andruil's spark#and that it's why her friendship card looks like Andruil's vallaslin#i always thought it was not possible bc i firmly believed Andruil was locked in the Black City#but now that we know Andruil is 'dead' or- according to the AMAs - reduced to a wisp that lost herself since the Blight led by her archdemo#adding to Sera's reactions to the Blight in general knowing Andruil was the one driven crazy by it#i still am not sure about it and i think in a more general term she is just closer to her nature than most#but im still having this theory at the back of my mind#anyway i always overthought stuff that connected Sera to spirits and magic because of it all#but i didn't connect the whole 'you glow?' thing#i was thinking about spirits say the Inquisitor 'blazes like fire' and suddenly Sera's line of 'you glow right?' popped up in my mind#and im mhmmmmmmmmm#ichablogging dai#ichatalks about da#ichablogging davg#for the spoiler of 'it was confirmed in davg'

It's insane listening to actual musical theatre performers in this age of shitty idiots in movie musicals. Like these people literally train to be able to do this shit extremely, extremely well with a profound depth of feeling and the ability to project their emotions and communicate the acting part of it very clearly. Like there is no comparison. This is why Smash sucked from the very beginning btw
#not in the sense of writing. though maybe in writing too i haven't watched it in a long time#like there is literally no pitting any pop singer against megan fucking hilty#the basic premise initiated by the casting itself was fucking ludicrous#this post is also true of theatre actors in general vs. movie and tv show clowns

Agh man rip glass animals for me, I don't even have a desire to touch their newest album bcs I don't want it to ruin my opinion on them as a whole lmao. I will stick to the first two albums for the rest of time and pretend they arent making music anymore fhfjkg š
#idk if i can say theyre my fav band anymore if i dont like the vibe of half their albums#dreamland is okay but all the songs that got popular off it are my least fav#and i feel like it pushed them into making more generic music bcs thats whats popular#nothing will ever be zaba#ik music evolves right? so its not like im like they should forever stick w zaba vibes#bcs that album is contained within itself and perfect#but like. zaba and htbahb are completely different but equally good#but dreamland is eh. and the newest one i dont even want to touch lol#for example i think mgmt has completely different vibes every album#but i like all their sounds and it never felt like they sold out or anything#i mean considering all their most well known songs are from the beginning of their career#i think though yeah they're a good example to me of a band evolving +#but not losing their uniqueness#ill try playing a song from the new ga album and its just š¬ to me. so pop and generic#Anyways. salty.#the smiths will be my fav forever i guess#idk theres smth nice abt being into a defunct band bcs you know they cant ruin their image anymore LOL#though i guess morrissey is certainly trying....#catie.rambling.txt

nrm??? Iām shit with acronymsā¦ could you expand his name maybe a a tiny bit more???
okay so get this there's a chance he might wear the number twenty-nine. and furthermore there's a possibility his jersey may include a color some would call burgundy. some claim word of it being adorned with blue and silver as well. and the folks down the stream... near the tavern ā not that tavern, the other ā yes, they even hint at an inkling of him having ties with one sidcros. the nature of which is up to personal interpretation. allegedly.
#i don't know why i etched towards a dnd npc hinting at a quest at the end. my instincts#ANYWAY lol it's literally just personal beef. i use nrm because i love typing out his Full Government Name when speaking of him#but obviously dont want that to pop up in searches. because it is. again. personal one sided beef#(<- ex longterm coloradoan who upon escape decided to pray on every sport teams downfall)#so! nrm. :) nrmĀ²ā¹ if i'm feeling fun and flirty#he's a lesser version of the peoples princess i understand this. but what am i if not one to live on the wild side.#kiers.txt#mail tag#also just generally dont think i fuck with how the franchise runs itself but thats a different discussion entirely#and a conversation i dont have enough cited info to start. source i saw it in a dream#source. God told me it to be true#the tone of this is also to be read as if im telling you hot goss btw. so the tone comes across correctly

Silver needs a new backstory already his character profile in Sonic Generations describes his Sonic 06 background even though that timeline was erased.
The other day I was going over his profile in Sonic Channel (auto-translated to English), and I noticed that as well. But the issue is, the Rivals games were never actually released in Japan! There is no Japanese translations or voice-overs by the cast noted on the wiki, and the only release dates provided are for North America, Europe, and Australia. Which does make me insanely curious what Silver's first actual unerased-from-the-timeline meeting with Sonic is for Japanese fans, actually. The next Sonic game chronologically that he appears in is Sonic Colours DS, barring Mario and Sonic at the (2010) Olympic Winter games, whose games were released in autumn 2009. And since Colours DS is the handheld version of the main game, I'm not sure how its canonicity really lies, nevermind the fact Silver cordially greets Sonic there and sends him off to some rides. If Colours Wii is the fully canon game, it would make his first true appearance in Sonic Generations... where he also knows Sonic already. Unless that is some kinda situation like with Blaze being able to recall Crisis City there and the like?
As it stand, it makes sense to me Silver's bio in Generations mentions the fact he is "from a destroyed future", because in Japan from which it was translated they presumably know simply no other backstory for him than the one in '06 where that was indeed the case... even if '06's story technically never happened in the first place. But this whole mess does not add much cohesion between the various world regions, and with '06 erased, Rivals going all but unmentioned in Japan, Sonic in Japanese!TSR making clear mentions about '06's story while Silver has no idea what he is talking about, and Silver just plain knowing Sonic already in Colours DS, Generations, and even the M&S DS Winter game if it counts... just how in the world did they meet?
#silver the hedgehog#sonic colours ds#sonic generations#sonic rivals#sonic rivals 2#mario & sonic at the olympic winter games#I'll be honest... just what happens in Silver's future during the Rivals games is a MYSTERY to me#because in Rivals 1 the world seems to be fine!! Eggman Nega got a cool camera he seems to have stolen from someone!#Silver *never* mentions the world being in ruin! Most of Onyx Island is a gorgeous paradise!#and of course that is likely because they hadn't thought up the Ifrit yetā but that does make it seem like the Ifrit just popped up one day#-after Rivals 1ā began wreaking havocā and forced Silver to go to the past while Eggman Nega did the same to try and make it invincible#that does align with what I recall Evan Stanley saying that Sega's current stance is that the future changes before Silver's very eyes#but there is legitimately just *nowhere*ā both in the game itself and outside sourcesā wherein I can *clearly* see them state smth like#'the world was totally fine for a bit but then the Ifrit appeared and ruined everything'#and yet I am certain I've seen it before#I'll keep lookingā at least!

being so normal about peoples bad opinions on theater. being so normal.
#saw someone just complain that Chicago had no costume changes and barely any set so#therefore it was bad and itās like. people are entitled to their own opinions. but also.#does theater NEED to be flashy? is that what theater is about? does it have to have pop music and high intensity dancing (which Chicago has)#or big brightly colored costumes? perhaps a mushy gushy heart warming story of love?#or just something silly? like dude. what the hell. did you consider maybe the story is just. not suited to that.#did you stop to think abt why itās staged like that. like Iām maybe itās not ur cup of tea but saying itās bad bc thereās no spectacle is.#like itās so ridiculous too bc Chicago is a show ABOUT spectacle of the press and sensationalizing of death and murder and like listen#itās not my favorite show by a long shot yk but I appreciate it for its art and Iām not trying to make it smth itās not. just. ok the ig.#like you do not have to like the show itself but saying boo it sucked bc thereās no costume changes or flashy sets is. a mid take at BEST.#and thatās generous. like. gdjdbskdhsmdhfksbfksjfjsbdj im normal.#Iām being normal. i will not discuss the art of theater and get into fights abt it on Instagram. amen.#roxy talks

idk what to do because normally being on tumblr and seeing everyoneās thoughts and memes eases the post eurovision depression but this year was so disappointingā¦ i feel like itāll just make me sad all over every time i think about it you know, even if weāre all commiserating itāll just be a reminder
#eurovision#hereās to next year ig#sweden being insufferable about hosting even if itās petra who i love#lots more bland pop songs because that wins apparently#everyone singing in english#what a disaster i donāt understand what happened#i know my taste isnāt the general eurovision publicās taste i was expecting to be disappointed but not THIS disappointed#there is nothing about the shows that i can remember fondly#i didnāt think the songs were that weak i really liked most of them#but the show was such a let down i was way happier about this year before the actual performances#eurovision season was good but eurovision itself not so muchš

In the early twenty-first century, it is common to rate subjective matters on a scale out of 10, so calling someone a 10 is a (potentially objectifying depending on the context) compliment.
The pH scale is a logarithmic scale measuring the relative presence of free Hydrogen ions in a solution. At 7, you have pure water where every Hydrogen ion (H+) is matched with a Hydroxide ion (OH-). At numbers less than seven, there are more free Hydrogen ions, increasing as you get further away from 7, marking the solution as acidic. At numbers greater, you have more Hydroxide, marking the solution as basic. Because Hydrogen and Hydroxide ions aggressively bond with substances of the opposite charge, tearing apart weaker chemical bounds to do so, both highly acidic and highly basic compounds can be toxic and damaging.
The word basic also can be used as an insult when talking about people, referring to lacking any form of unique individuality or opinions of note. A basic individual has the same appearance and personality as any other basic person, a homogenous blend of non-controversial views. It is a scathing insult that dismisses another person's identity as simply being part of an unexamined generic crowd.
A 10 on the pH scale would be about as alkaline as laundry detergent. This would be an irritant to the skin, toxic to consume, and solidly on the side of being 'basic.' In all these senses, it would be a scathing insult, made more so by the fact it is juxtaposed by the faux complement of calling someone a 10 right before it.
An individual in the early twentieth century would likely have enough basic chemistry knowledge to understand the insult. The pH scale is often taught to elementary school students.

#period novel details#explaining the joke ruins the joke#not explaining the joke means people 300 years from now won't understand our culture#the ruthless pursuit of individualism and rejection of 'basic' is itself a super mindless ideology#the problem with being basic isn't liking pumpkin spice lattes or purse dogs or pop music#the problem is the inability to diverge from the crowd whether by fear or expressing potentially contrary opinions#or because of the fear of even trying to experience anything that has not already been approved of as generically good#the problem is being unwilling to hold an opinion in the face of any controversy#if in your heart of hearts you enjoy pumpkin spice lattes romcoms pop music trendy clothes in the like#and if you pursue such interests of your own volition#then you are a valid individual
