Here’s a sort of…. Prompt? Headcanon? Idea?? For Danny Phantom.
Let’s 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, it’d be a fun possibility to explore Danny ‘plays as a tank in irl superheroics 4 times out of 5’ Phantom finding out he can heal people while doing a school-mandated cpr class.
#danny phantom#dp#bonus points if it’s 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 it’s 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#he’s just hovering his hands and lil glowy snowflakes start drifting down and healing the person#Tucker is like Oh Hey This Means I’ll Just Go To Danny For Medical Stuff#the b plot is getting Tucker to get his damn shots… cartoon logic says somehow he gets them done at the vet#it just popped into my head you don’t gotta do that lol#Sam meanwhile is like. hm. homeopathy bc she’s not. AGAINST doctors and medical schools per se#but she’s protesting something or another about them#probably concerns about medical mistreatment#meanwhile Danny is like I Did Not Agree To Be The Medic!#he’s played video games okay HE KNOWS HOW THAT GOES DOWN.#…. 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

If I had had my world completely shattered by finding out I had been Manchurian Candidated and finally clawed my way to a semblance of peace with myself and then had my colleagues accuse me of again having had my brain manipulated to force me to do things against my will, I would lose my mind
#i have not actually seen the manchurian candidate#but given both the my general pop culture understanding of it and the fact that the show itself referenced it#i assume it's a fine comparison#ash tyler#dsc

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 [–]
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

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 😬😬😬 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 🥺 (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 Thimothée 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 🙂👍#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!!! 😡😡😡#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 👀)#darya talks to herself

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

confession compulsions are the worst ones actually
#ocd tag#do you know how many times i stop myself from messaging someone or posting something on here#in a way this post itself is just scratching that itch djfsakl#but i HATE THEM I HATE THEM#edit: every pop science article on confessions and ocd in general is sooo#sometimes confessing doesnt look like point blank 'these are my intrusive thoughts im so sad reassure me'#when u are selfaware it can become much subtler#anyway these articles about how to stop reassurance seeking arent being very good at reassuring me LMAOOO

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 😔
#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 😬 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??? I’m shit with acronyms… 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 — not that tavern, the other — 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. :) nrm²⁹ 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 yet‚ but that does make it seem like the Ifrit just popped up one day#-after Rivals 1‚ began wreaking havoc‚ 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*‚ both in the game itself and outside sources‚ 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 looking‚ 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 it’s 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 it’s staged like that. like I’m maybe it’s not ur cup of tea but saying it’s bad bc there’s no spectacle is.#like it’s so ridiculous too bc Chicago is a show ABOUT spectacle of the press and sensationalizing of death and murder and like listen#it’s not my favorite show by a long shot yk but I appreciate it for its art and I’m not trying to make it smth it’s not. just. ok the ig.#like you do not have to like the show itself but saying boo it sucked bc there’s no costume changes or flashy sets is. a mid take at BEST.#and that’s generous. like. gdjdbskdhsmdhfksbfksjfjsbdj im normal.#I’m 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 everyone’s thoughts and memes eases the post eurovision depression but this year was so disappointing… i feel like it’ll just make me sad all over every time i think about it you know, even if we’re all commiserating it’ll just be a reminder
#eurovision#here’s to next year ig#sweden being insufferable about hosting even if it’s petra who i love#lots more bland pop songs because that wins apparently#everyone singing in english#what a disaster i don’t understand what happened#i know my taste isn’t the general eurovision public’s taste i was expecting to be disappointed but not THIS disappointed#there is nothing about the shows that i can remember fondly#i didn’t 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 much😔

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

speaking of everyone like where's the story songs where's the songs about specificass situations where's songs about anything that's not generic romance or generic i want to hook up tonight, what a great time i had the other night just ending up on a thread going Sure Show Me That One okay now Sure Show Me This One nyc cabaret videos lol. that usually whatever show things were from will have its own overarching theme but individual songs will probably have this standalone quality to them & be bangers while also probably getting surprising, funny, odd, have Specificity. obviously being youtube posts of live performances of nyc cabaret like singers who are also Actors left & right, songs that are written for live performance with a story, musicals, musical theatrey concerts, cabarets, standalones. going like well i don't have specific context for what might be a larger work this was developed to be a part of but damn if i don't need that to follow gists & enjoy shit anyway. damn if some songs take situations that could be framed in a more "relatable" mundane or [remove disambiguating details] way but makes a point to clearly put it in some really specific Situation & lord knows please with sense of specific character(tm)
#fun fun fun....#i also don't suffer like charting Recorded Music Love(tm)/Tonight(tm) escape room b/c i just don't go in ever now lol#was the peak Listening To The Radio Years overlapping w/years i would more regularly be driving e.g. & now shrugmoji#discovering Unheard By Me Music From Whenever like i'm open to that but don't seek it much. don't often fire up my own Liked Music lol#even specific artists like yea might listen to a single; what rarity i've listened to whole New To Me albums#think last time i did was like whew ok for crj....wouldn't do it again prob lol i was like this is too much All About Romance Generic#meanwhile cabaret random new song like oh fun to listen funnily specific funly acted And i cried (even had romance; hooking up)#going like oh this is just like the black suits to me & gongeous melody/singing that's also just in a style a straightup pop non live#recorded song wouldn't necessarily. oh this song doesn't Need to go ''& i'm an astronaut in space'' a few lines in but god why not?#& thank fuck it does like hip hooray something exists to be fun in funny unexpected weird idiosyncratic ways. please please tyssm#meanwhile also speaking of artists like Yes sure random joe iconis song. so vivacious it can be like oh This refrainyeah i've heard this 1#yknow presumably like even amidst theatre musical acting Music realm there's still the ''ah less character(tm)'' oeuvre but like#impassively pivoting walking away / not having much of an inroad to walk Up to that in the first place#whereas like oh will roland singing what itself could just be considered a Love Song? it'll have specificities &/or certainly Character#& what i wouldn't care at all about from someone else like If You Can Do Specificass Funny Little Material i'll watch you do anything#& ofc be more poised to get invested right off have a good time w/Whatever the material is

Anybody else have an instance where their shoulder was bent weird while doing something and it felt like it was out of place but you could still use it and popped it right back but now it does that same thing every once in awhile and you’re starting to wonder if you dislocated it and healed it wrong?
#emma posts#is this a super specific instance or do I share this experience with someone?#also should I see my doctor about it?#it’s been like a year so idk what she could do even if it was dislocated back then#it might have happened even earlier but I just remember it really fucking up while I was building a chair#I was holding something in place at a weird angle and pop! but then I put it right back#and I never lost the use of it during that whole thing and it only took two days to feel totally normal again#but it’s happening a lot more since that day. just not often enough for me to know what does it#I keep doing these things that it’s like ‘should I see a doctor? should I tell the nurse that looks at me once a week?’#and then I forget about it until something goes wrong again#my body just has a habit of fucking itself up and then going right back to normal again within a day or two#some stuff is extreme enough for me to go to the er or something like that kidney stone#but a lot of other weird injuries or symptoms that go away right afterwards I just feel like#what could my doctor even do about it? and then I have to schedule an appointment and get a ride and all that. ugh’#I do need to get an iud and vaccines soon though#I’m pretty sure I’m up to date on most vaccines but I’m not sure about the flu#I did go in last year and get two or three at a time to catch up with anything I missed or needed updated#it was mostly updating stuff like tetanus#I don’t know if there’s been a more recent covid booster from the last one I got I think a few months ago#but when I get an iud I need to schedule an appointment with my neurologist and that’s also annoying and takes time and finding a ride#and getting a ride there isn’t even going to somewhere in the same town! my general doctor is in this town#but apparently estrogen levels can effect one of my seizure medications so I would need a dose adjustment

Wanna add a similar trope that's SO hostile to aros:
Hanahaki aus
I hate them so bad
Because everything in them goes like:
"Oh no!! MC loves X! And now they'll PAINFULLY DIE if X doesn't love them back!! X must love them back now to save them or it'll be their fault <3 The other alternative is MC PAINFULLY GIVES UP THEIR ABILITY TO LOVE! FOREVER! I can't think of anything more horrible!! Most people in that situation would simply keel over!!"
Sucks so fucking bad
Rancid trope
Soulmates are inherently amatonormative and it's so wild how many people refuse to acknowledge that and instead go around trying to "make it more inclusive" which mostly just leads to then forcing aspec characters into a amatonormative narrative.
#it's not that there are no aspec characters in soulmate content its that the world around soulmates is inherently against aspecs in general#it's not that Aspecs don't show up. it's the fact the universe itself is inherently hostile to the idea of aspec people#the soulmate trope erases us from existence completely. because no matter what we will never fit into it's ideal narrative.#<- op popped off in the tags#reasons I avoid soulmate aus#they get me thinking. in a bad way#aro#aromantic#amatonormativity
