#The longer you keep him in this thing

[ducktracy]

there are a lot of evil people in the world and a lot of darkness in the world and so it’s very important for me to stress that now more than ever is the time to spread kindness and compassion. combat the evil by not only not partaking in it, but actively refuting it. destroy the notion that being compassionate or generous or kind to someone is uncool or embarrassing or even scary. be the change you want to see. start a chain reaction. positivity only breeds more positivity. do an act of kindness for someone so that that person who is too afraid to do it themselves can see you, realize that they’re not alone, and perhaps sheepishly follow your example. and then the next person who is too afraid but sees that person can do the same. when bad news comes out about bad people or horrible atrocities in the world it’s such an easy impulse to despair, and obviously it’s important to feel what you need to feel. grieve. be angry. be sorrowful. be empathetic. but dust off your pants and get up and be a part of a chain reaction that, no matter how small the scale, and spread compassion and love and care. all the reasons why you might not—“it’s hard! it’s scary! people will make fun of me! it’s useless because there’s too much evil!” are all grade A arguments as to why you should. you have no idea how many people you could inspire to do the same. even if it doesn’t get you anyway far, you can at least say you have the nobility of trying. please choose love and please choose life. you are worth loving and you are worth inspiring others to love

Ectoplasm and Jason Todd

Danny is wandering around Gotham (visiting, chasing a ghost, running from GIW, attending college, etc) and stumbles across Jason.

Jason who is flaring his ecto-signature like a madman (is he trying to get into trouble?).

Danny drags the guy into a nearby alley to give the guy some kind of crash-course on how not to do that.

Jason isn't sure why this guy grabbed him and dragged him into an alley, but if it's a fight he wants, Jason would be able to fight more freely in an alley, so he doesn't struggle. (Does he know that Jason is Red Hood? Does he think that Jason is a random civilian? Is it just him, or does this guy have really cold hands?)

Jason isn't sure why this guy is now trying to... ask him to meditate? The fuck is going on? But if it's not a fight, then... maybe it's fine to just listen to the weirdo? Taking a few deep breaths isn't going to hurt him.

Danny is very proud of himself for guiding the ecto-flaring guy through how to not flare his ecto-signature. He's such a good teacher.

And then Jason collapses.

Turns out, Jason has been using his anger to create a feedback-loop that artificially raises his ectoplasm-levels.

Ghosts need ectoplasm to live, but they'll also produce ectoplasm when feeling strong emotions. For most ghosts, this a bit like saying "everyone needs a good cry every now and then". For Jason, he's been basically aiming a gun at his own face for the adrenaline-rush. Constantly.

So, Danny is now holding onto a barely-conscious person who desperately needs more ectoplasm. As in, this is a medical emergency, and every second probably counts.

Danny, being that he wasn't planning on needing to carry around some kind of ectoplasm-container at all times (who the fuck does that? His parents, that's who), is now desperately trying to problem-solve this.

Danny realizes that, actually, even in his human form? Danny has a lot of ectoplasm in his body. Enough that he could probably save this guy by... feeding him his blood.

Cue intimately sexy reverse-vampire scene.

And oh boy, if Danny's blood doesn't taste fantastic to Jason's ecto-starved self.

stan twins the canon cptsd brothers i will always think about all your unaddressed issues that would make perfect plot fuel for your spinoff

and also the whole 'stan getting that poem by bill via a website which contrasts with bill getting one from the axolotl via a website' foreshadowing thing

like idk i would love something like su future but like more optimistic, aka not an accumulated breakdown that has to be mostly resolved off screen at the end :/// but something thats being kinda addressed throughout? (although would love to see one of them turn into a monster thats always fun lol)

stan having severe issues from his dad and those years of being homeless that we keep on getting more info on but never really getting confronted on (the drifter catalogue and tijuana incident...), him being completely alone for like twenty years when running the shack before soos comes along to the point that 1998 is noted as his low point, and him not really learning about bill+what he did to ford until ages after he killed him if he ever did get the full context

while i think amnesia and everyone seeing him as a hero actually helped with stan's 'i'm a worse version of my brother' thing its still a lingering issue too and we now got him being insecure over his own hands

ford being immediately thrown from 'being tortured by bill' to 'being stuck in the multiverse and being chased by bounty hunters constantly', him fully expecting himself to die when destroying bill, and him only now being safe for the first time in 30 years ....relatively safe, he's still in constant danger because of course he is

idk in the end the series wants them to be happy and they deserve it, its why i wasn't too worried about the book being like 'ooh bill is back!! and the book is haunting ford' thing cos i knew they'll be ok

Look, it's Whitepaw! How could anyone not vote for the older version of this little kitty! He's smiling!

About the cats:

"Spiderdrape, he/him or ze/hir. Theyre from a roleplay I was in a while ago and was part of a clan, AbyssClan, that lived underground on an island. They had glowing marking that they got for milestones in their life, and he was originally a warrior but became an artisan (one of the cats who designed and painted the markings). He's old as hell and a big loner. He's schizophrenic which doesn't help his social skills but he's generally pretty content with his life. He's always paranoid about rogues invading but aside from self assigned patrols he can't do much about it. He's just a weirdo who's made more offputting by mental illness. (by the way— im psychotic so this isnt like. a mean spirited caricature its based on my own experiences. thought id clarify just in case!)"

-@4usrhacidae

"His name is Whitewater, his pronouns are he/him, he currently resides as a ghost, but once was the medicine cat of my clan, TimberClan. It all starts when Whitewater was barely born, his dad (Silktail) died to injuries caused by a fox, unable to be saved. This causes his already harsh (mentally not okay either) mother (Chipmunkstar) to become even worse, insisting Whitewater and his sisters (Redmorning, Yellowscale) become the toughest warriors ever. But Whitewater would much rather be a medicine cat, a topic his mother would constantly argue with him about. Eventually, with Tabbythroat and Mambashadow's help, he is able to get apprenticed under them, but his mother now wants nothing to do with him. Whitewater continues to try to impress his mother, but nothing ever works. Throughout his tries, he meets Sunset, a calico molly whose twolegs abandoned her. And they become friends, bonding over their shared experiences, eventually developing crushes on eachother. It all goes wrong when Chipmunkstar finds out. She launches herself at Sunset, attacking the poor girl. When Whitewater tries to intervene, he ends up getting caught in her claws, but it's enough for Sunset to escape. She hisses at him for talking to an 'intruder' and storms away. Whitewater sits there and finally snaps. He realizes his mother doesn't love him. And he vows to kill her for what she's done to him. First it's the poison, he tries stuffing deathberries in her prey, but it is the Deputy (Redwoodclaw) that eats it and dies. Next comes the tree, he tries to push it onto her, but only catches the end of her tail. Then the rogues, he pays them in healing services to kill her, but ends up killng Heatherleap and Fallowwave. Next the dogs, who he leads to camp, but BogClan is called for help and he ends up getting their leader (Civetstar) killed instead. Finally, Whitewater decides to just kill her with his own claws. And he does so, when they are alone. But his sisters walk in on him, and in grief and rage they attack him. Whitewater is baffled how his own sisters would do such a thing over their mother, and rage on how they don see why this is good drives him to attack right back. But he is unfortunately killed, floating away in the nearby river. But, he refuses to go down without revenge, so he finds Sunset and convinces her to conduct a spell that would allow him to pilot his own body again. Once she does so, and they have a happy reunion, they become mates because they still love eachother. Whitewater goes back to terrorize and kill more cats but is eventually put to rest by his sisters again. Now he wanders outside clan territory with Sunset as a ghost again, doing their thing."

Honestly, I'm very excited to find out what happened to Caleb and Beau, but specifically because Ludinus's current status is WILD for Caleb's epilogue in particular. It means his boyfriend is basically free and clear of everyone who has explicit material knowledge of the deal he made. It means the goal he planned to dedicate his life to is basically complete within six years. It means that virtually no one left on the Assembly cares much what kinds of changes he makes to Soltryce from here on out.

Ludinus is on the moon and probably not coming back, given the general expectations of the heroic fantasy genre, and the rest of it is a whole lot of "not Caleb's problem".

What does this man even do with the rest of his life?

I’ve already made a post about Rafe keeping Thomas’s book of hours, but also saving his portrait? Wahhh

he kept all these things safe for decades and decades (almost exactly half a century) after Cromwell’s execution - he must’ve really looked after them. Then his family continued to do the same :(

HI MY BELOVED ANGEL!!! i am sending u mattsun + campfire as well as kisses n hugs <33

SAINTTT hello 🥺 thank you for sending a prompty!! 🥹 idt i've ever written mattsun fully before so this is something new!

help me get back into the writing groove! send me a character + any word and i'll write a short blurb about it!

contains: exes, stranded-y situation, feelings are complicated, some expletives

mattsun + campfire

"i told you we should've brought the spare—"

"yeah, let me go back in time for a sec and do just that."

"asshole."

lesson #1: nothing good ever happens when you're stuck in a car with your ex on the way to somewhere remote.

you blame iwaizumi for this one. who the fuck chooses to spend their birthday weekend in the fucking wilderness?

(okay, you don't actually think it's so bad. to be fair, he did plan this a year ago. and it did sound like a good idea. then. at the time. anywhere with the boys was always guaranteed fun―at least, until you and matsukawa broke up.)

"can you pass me the flashlight?" he points at the backpack behind you. when you hand it over, your fingers brush over his as he takes it away from you.

and you hate it, because―

lesson #2: you should never be alone with your ex when you still have feelings for them.

you'd agreed to take two cars to the camping spot: iwaizumi's with oikawa and hanamaki and matsukawa's with you. there was no way you'd fit in one, and hanamaki ultimately decided to ride with iwaizumi because, "you and mattsun have shit to sort out," he'd said.

with night setting and the two-hour headstart they managed to get ahead of you, the best thing you and matsukawa can do is to set up camp temporarily and wait for them to come back for you come sunrise.

you sigh.

leaves crack underneath your feet as you maneuver around your camping space. the light from matsukawa's flashlight tells you where he is, just a bit deeper in the forestry as he looks for wood to help set up the fire.

you unload the car in the meantime, bringing out some snacks and sleeping bags while waiting.

matsukawa eventually comes back with arms full of wood, and you help in whatever way you can, clearing the space and fetching more twigs when needed.

the entire car ride here had been quiet, so it's not surprising that this entire process has been equally as silent. until―

"did you already pull out your tent?" he asks, half of his body disappearing into the trunk of the car.

"huh?" you go closer, "i only brought out the sleeping bags."

then he sighs, ducking out from the trunk with a hand on his hip, "we only have one tent."

"what?"

"makki must have gotten yours with his when he decided to move cars."

his hand runs through his hair, a habit you know well. it lights up all sorts of weird feelings in your tummy

you don't know how to feel―

"i can sleep in the car."

―but you know that you definitely don't want him to do that. all things considered, you were friends first. and you've both been trying to be friends again since the breakup. you wouldn't want to cause him discomfort like that.

so, with a deep breath, you say, "it's okay, we can just share."

"are you sure?" he stares at you.

you nod.

after setting up the tent, you eat a few energy bars and clean up from the day's events. the campfire provides ample enough heat, but with how fast the flames are burning, you're doubtful it'll last the two of you the entire night.

it’s much later on, past midnight, that your doubts are proven right when you and matsukawa are cramped together in a tent made for one. it started to get cold a few minutes ago, and you've found yourself inching closer and closer to the warmth you’ve gotten used to laying against for the past two years.

he's only pretending to be asleep, you know that much, too. the rise and fall of his chest is hardly there; you can see it, how he's holding his breath being this close to you.

"issei," you whisper.

he opens his eyes, eyelids lifting lazily as he meets your stare. the vibration of his hum reverberates to you.

"it's cold."

for a moment, your stomach drops at the thought that he could ignore you; how it would make perfect sense for him to. you broke up with him after all, and he doesn't owe you anything, much less favors as intimate as this one.

but he closes the already dwindling gap between you, wrapping an arm around your waist as he pulls you closer. it's near, far too near for exes to be―noses touching and all.

"warmer?" his voice comes out hoarser through the whisper.

you nod, your head shifting up and down—which, truly, is where you ultimately fuck up. you feel it, a little chapped but still pliant against your lips.

in your carelessness, you accidentally brush your lips against his, the sensation alone surprising you enough to inch your head back as you mutter your apologies.

"sorry? really?" he asks, eyes half-lidded still as he chuckles.

his question settles into the small space you're in.

your vision trails from his eyes, down to the slope of his nose, until it lands on his lips again. a little split like you've always known, but still your favorite. still the only lips you want against yours.

when you lean in again, you know you're fucked, because―

lesson #3: the number one rule is that exes shouldn't kiss each other anymore.

[ryuubff]

you ever think about how much strain is prolly on the mc … although you think you’re somewhere familiar, with people whom you know and love. they don’t actually know you like You know them … and you only have one person who you truly do know and trust.

Little fucked up from whats been going on esp when it happened outta nowhere 😭😭😭😭😭 like the new card got me thinking abt how maybe solomon has comforted them before….. SORRY SOLOMON ALSO GOT ME FUCKED UP!!!!

[heybiji]

Dande sighs, “Man… don’t you ever just wanna go home?” Jalester replies, “A lot,” and Dande says, “You should.” Jalester says, “Maybe I’ll get to. Not yet.” Dande says, “You could after this. Shadowdale…” Jalester says, “Maybe. Maybe you could come with.”

Dande looks at him for a moment before saying, “I feel like we don’t wanna have the same conversation. That’s okay. We’ll just…” He stops, considers, then nods. “No, it’s okay.” Jalester does not press, giving another glance towards Solias and Khari, and the conversation dies away as they watch the fire burn down low.

THE USOS REUNITE WWE SMACKDOWN (OCTOBER 25, 2024)

[justashamwithwastedpotential]

Lucanis Dellamorte why are you so mad with me personally for going to Minrathous instead of Treviso that you refuse to use support moves

I literally sent HALF the team with you. Both of which who are archers only for you to tell me that you couldn't fight off the dragon bc it was... flying around???

Seems like a skill issue to me sorry /j

[oatmealcrisp-freak]

Matsuda could concievably pull off 'he had it coming' cell block tango but Light would absolutely give the better performance.

edit no actually yknow what im putting these in the body. look at them. LOOK AT THEM.

#Light revenge on Matsuda when

yeah yeah sure its compelling how Matsuda shoots Light

drags his own idol down from the pedestal he put Light on while Light comes down kicking and screaming for starting the circumstances that led to Soichirous death among other things but mostly Soichirou - who Matsuda also idolized in a far more paternal fashion - and basically throws Light at Ryuk's door

because with that many bullet wounds light is no longer capable of entertaining Ryuk or keeping the show going and thus Light dies. it's very good stuff. BUT. ALSO. CONSIDER. Light who barely cared about Matsuda whatsoever but cooperated with him nevertheless only to get punished for it BRUTALLY. The madonnawhore with his hands made of ceramic on Matsuda's throat ykno? Matsuda and the 'be careful what you wished for' theme of wanting Light's light

Buah!!

Pag 4

2: Buah...

So in the end you've decided to run?

3: Ace sprinter, Doubashi!!

Ugh.....

6: We're at “5km left” until the sprint

7: There's not much left

Pag 6

It's “san”!!

San!!

How many times have I told you!!

3: I can't win comfortably!!

Wa-

Pag 15

1: Hakogaku's Doubashi accelerated in an instant and passed Nagoya!!

Gallop!!

2: Together with Sohoku!!

3: Ah!? “Sohoku”!? Tch!! He reacted at the same time as me...?

4: You're the only one who can react at the same speed as me in this leading pack

Orange!!

Pag 16

2: Chicken!!

Pag 17

2: Orange is still behind!?

3: Did he give an order to this guy?

4: And he still managed to keep up with my speed of reaction!?

6: What, this guy's eyes, this running

Pag 18

1: What happened, your expression has changed!!

So this guy wasn't a chicken!!

2: Sorry, Doubashi-san

We'll take this sprint

3: The two of us!!

Pag 19
