Prompt 299

Hear me out- Ghosts have wings. They have wings, which are affected by their cores, and can make them disappear from sight if they want or need to. You got that? Good. 

Ecto-contaminated people? Don’t have wings. Liminals and Halfas, who have developed cores? Do have wings, and they can’t hide said wings, because unlike ghosts? Their bodies are physical living flesh. 

Now Gotham? Ecto-contaminated, there’s no doubt about it. The amount of portals that have been opened there and death pits and death cults… yeah it’d be surprising if it wasn’t. But again, no one really notices, because at most? Most just get a bit of eyeshine. 

The Bats however? Oh man are they freaking out when they wake up with aches in their back and feathers starting to poke through their skin. Curse? Nope! Welcome to Liminality, enjoy the second puberty of wings, emotion-sharing, fangs, claws, and whatever else you might develop- also enjoy the whole eating fear thing. (Wait, the what-)

i know the hunger games isnt about romance i know it isnt a love story but. theres just something so beautiful in the way peeta is the personification of what it means to heal and he /is/ the dandelion and the bread and the hope that things can be better even if they wont be fixed. even if the nightmares dont stop he will still hold her. wake her up and tell her shes alive. shes safe. and when its over and done and theres no more saving or protecting or trying their absolute hardest to die if it means keeping the other alive, the horrors dont stop. but katniss will still find that comfort in peetas arms.

PSA from a dumb shit idiot

the in-game UI/settings backup does not save your account-wide macros. it only saves macros per character. if you use shared macros for complex UI operations like a full suite of pop-out hotbars, and you are depending on this feature to transfer these macros, you will have to redo them. backup your .cfg files and character-specific .dat files located in Documents\My Games\FINAL FANTASY XIV - A Realm Reborn and put them somewhere that even you can't possibly lose them. the game tells you this, but if you're like me and you forget all basic forms of literacy when text is too boring, you will never see this information

penumbra and glamourer backups are located in AppData\Roaming\XIVLauncher\backups by default. these are useful to upload to perhaps a cloud drive. maybe even a discord server. you could email them to yourself. you could put them on an external drive of some kind. in case you do not want to remake 69 outfits from scratch and recategorize all your mods

those fancy marty mcfly reshade shaders you paid for to Support The Creator? they clean the patreon permissions out every couple of months and you won't be able to download the thing you paid access to get. "i can download them later" LMAO clowned on. put them somewhere safe, brain genius

Rhiannon: *calling Ianto*

Ianto: Hi Rhiannon, are the kids ok?

Rhiannon: Yeah they're fine, I was just wondering-

*sounds of machinery in the background*

Rhiannon: ...what's going on? Is this a bad time?

Ianto: Oh that? No yeah its fine I'm just tossing my boyfriend off a cliff.

Rhiannon: You're...what? What's going on? Is everything alright?

Ianto: Oh yeah. It's just that he's currently fully encased in cement so I've gotta break him out.

Rhiannon: ...

Rhiannon: But wouldn't that kill him Ianto?? If this is a bad time I can-

Ianto: *laughs* Oh don't worry about him he'll be fine. So what's up?

I'm actually struggling so immensely right now. I'll be turning asks off and stuff because life is very unkind. Being queer where I live really sucks, and I feel so extremely isolated constantly, actually. Like, all the time. I just can't do this right now, I'm sorry, guys. Queued posts will be unqueued.

[bandtrees]

find us alive: in a horror setting, has horror elements and some parts that skew heavily towards it, but those elements are moreso to express the results of things like isolation, neglect, abuse, etc: the anomalous, and all the horrors of the foundation, are horrific because they are equivalent to animals being locked up and starved, and it's no wonder the -2s or the d-class act as 'scary' as they do given their living conditions. the real horror is tragedy, both predictable and unpredictable, and the capacity humans hold to neglect and hurt one another hymns for the road: flesh billboard flesh billboard FLESH BILLBOARD FLESH BILLBOARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

been playing the worst game of all time again, sooo have a sketch of the pretty boi (straight out of my sketchbook ooohhh a mysterious place, only crazyness happens there)

[bookdragonideas]

I just finished rereading httyd.

Defiant optimism

That is how I would describe the overall tone of the last few books. (Read the first eight a few weeks ago, read the last four tonight.)

Again and again the story tells us that History Repeats Itself. That the future is doomed. The Doomsday is coming.

And again and again the heroes decide. "You know what? I don't care. I'm going to hope for the best anyways!"

again and again and again.

The Wodensfang decides to hope for the best. One last time, even if he really thinks they're all doomed. Hiccup will not stop looking for Fishlegs. Even when everyone tells him that he's probably dead and that they have other, bigger problems. Hiccup refuses to give up on Snotlout. Even though he has betrayed them so many times, Hiccup keeps giving him more chances. Camicazi refuses to believe that Hiccup is dead, no matter what the evidence would suggest.

Hiccup refuses to destroy the dragons. He keeps offering Furious peace. Keeps promising to try his best to fix this broken world.

Yes, the story tells us, Doomsday is Coming, History Repeats Itself, and sometimes even the greatest heroes will find their triumphs turned to tragedy.

But.

If it doesn't end well, it isn't the end.

And sometimes all it takes is someone saying "No."

"No. I dont care what you say, or how hopeless it is. I will keep fighting. I will keep trying. I will not let your hatred destory the world I love. I will always try."

That makes a hero. That makes a king.

Hiccup doesn't win because he's lucky or chosen or smart.

He wins because he never gives up hope. Even when his friends tell him it's hopeless he keeps going. Keeps trying. Keeps doing the right thing.

And that is what makes him a hero. A legend. A king.

And it's what wins the day.

Because no matter how many times his tries fail, Hiccup keeps trying.

Again and again and again.

Hiccup tells Furious that as long as there is even one human, humanity will keep fighting for those they have lost.

But I think that might be how Hiccup sees himself.

One last human fighting for what humanity has lost.

For the dragons, for freedom, for peace. For love.

Because at the heart of all that trying, is love.

Love for his dragons drives Hiccup to plead for their freedom. Love for Hiccup the Second leads Furious to choose peace. Love for her son leads Valhallarama to change the Slavemark back to the Dragonmark, and rally the tribes to try again. Love for her friends makes Camicazi fly to find Hiccup.

Sometimes all you can do is try your hardest.

But if you keep trying your hardest. And try your hardest out of love. Sometimes it will add up.

Its the smaller things of the world that change things. All those little acts of trying your hardest. Doing the right thing, no matter how small.

They add up.

And sometimes they add up so big...

That they make a hero.

And that hero could be you.

Irondad fic ideas #145

Scientists at Stark Industries frequently make groundbreaking discoveries. Since the work is collaborative, they also usually have long lists of acknowledgements at the end when publishing their research 

Post-NWH fic where someone notices a pattern in the published research from SI: for a period of several years, nearly every paper, from every department in the company, expressed gratitude to... empty space.

The name is not there. Clearly, it's meant to be. The pattern starts slow, with just a few papers, but it's soon present in every single one, and the praise is effusive. (Even during the Blip, researchers thanked this mystery person posthumously)

Then, not long after the return of half the population, the pattern just stops. No more mentions of the mystery team member. No more gaps in the acknowledgements page

Maybe it wouldn't be a big deal, maybe the whole thing would just stay as a niche mystery in the tech world... Except it can't. This question can't stay a small thing

Because Tony Stark, who has never worked with anyone except for occasionally Bruce Banner, thanks this empty space in his published work too.

Just who exactly is this person? 

Bonus:

The media dubs the missing person the "Stark Ghost"

Extra points if this fic follows either MJ, Ned, Pepper, a random curious citizen, a lowly SI worker, or Tony himself as they try to find answers
