personal rant

my in-laws are literally doing the most. We were all so good until I had my baby. Then they started getting obsessive and weird over my kid. Long story short, they started talking shit about me and making up lies. They are at my house now while I am working to see our son. Apparently my husband’s mom had “a bad reaction” to finding out we aren’t going to have anymore kids. We are “only thinking about ourselves”.

Fuck yeah we are. If we have more than one kid, we would be doing a disservice to our kids. WE, the parents, made a decision that was best for our family and she has the audacity to make that comment. 

I am LIVID. They also are obsessed with wanting alone time with our son. Why????? And they keep offering to do nice things but there are ALWAYS conditions/strings attached. 

They have had a chance to see our son once a week lately but that isn’t enough for them. They want more. If it was up to me, they wouldn’t have time with him at all.

Is blue hair considered to be an unusual hair color in her world?

I tend to consider Annalise's mainverse more historical fantasy — at least, that's how I've been writing her story and world for a majority of her mainverse threads. However, I tend to be flexible between Annalise living in a fantasy realm and actually living in rural France depending on the muses she's interacting with.

Regardless, in both realms, dragonskins are rare, mythical creatures. And a majority of the dragonskins, in their human forms, sport abnormal hair colors — greens and blues, purples, firey reds, etc., that tend to match what their dragon forms look like, as well as any additional subtle facial or body features such as hidden scales or feathers.

The village that Annalise lives near is isolated, just as she's isolated in her forest that she's afraid to leave — and she's afraid to leave because of how close-minded and superstitious many of the villagers are. The people who killed Annalise's dragonskin family saw dragons themselves as evil — which is a common trope not only in historical religious (generally Christian) imagery, but in fantasy worlds as well. The dragonskins who were killed in human form were merely mistaken as cult members, worshippers of the dragons (but even if they were discovered to be shapeshifters, they still would've been killed).

Therefore, even in a fantasy realm, a small rural village in the middle of nowhere containing superstitious folk who are fearful of witchcraft and the supernatural can, in fact, exist. Fantasy characters having negative views on magic is also a fairly common trope, too.

It's not just Annalise's abnormal hair color that she has to hide, it's just about everything that's considered non-human about her. Perhaps in a fantasy realm, there are people with abnormal hair colors just like Annalise. But in that village, it's not a common sight. In a historical fantasy setting, you wouldn't see that hair color at all, unless you were rich enough to have access to wigs or dyes.

Annalise is fearful to actually go out into the world because the only other people she's ever known are the people in the village, people who accuse her of witchcraft for the most absurd reasons possible. When she meets new people through threads — people who actually treat her kindly, regardless of her hair color or her draconic shapeshifting abilities — she'll come to realize that, perhaps, the outside world isn't all just like the village.

i hope everyone knows that the last wga strike was ~100 days and it's a pretty common phenomenon for strike support to tank after a month or two when it feels like it's dragging on and some writers and talk show hosts are crossing picket lines and trying to "return" to "normal" because of people's livelihoods etc when they're really just scabs. sure hope that we keep that in mind and are prepared for the long haul and aren't just in it while it's convenient for us <3

Fast-forward to the present day, Danny meets the bats, who ask him what is he doing in Gotham, he tells them that he's chasing one of his most dangerous enemies who's planning to do something in a place called Arkham and that he doesn't have time to speak before flying away, looking for Spectra.

Although the Batfam are confused about this strange meta they understand the gravity of the situation, so they end up following him to the Asylum where the Joker and Spectra are seen arguing among themselves like little children. They don't understand why the meta is standing by when the woman there is in danger, until they get close to both of them.

The topic of discussion is basically "My rival is much better than yours", where the woman (who now has half of her body transformed into shadows, what?), is furious pointing out "Phantom" abilities and how obviously he is a much better rival than the Joker, while the Joker is praising Batman with his intelligence and many tools saying he is a better playmate than "the old woman".

Honestly, both Danny and Batman don't know whether to be flattered or embarrassed because neither of them is aware of Spectra and Joker past relationship, but as soon as the Joker starts kicking his foot on the ground repeatedly and Spectra lengthens her nails in fury they realize it's time to interfere.

Laugh until the end

Penelope Spectra was an excellent school psychologist, she loved her charges and they loved her back, there was only one problem: her age.

Spectra had trouble coming to terms with the fact that she was getting older, she covered every wrinkle with makeup, every sign that she was over 25 disappeared, but always the same kid found a way to point out a mistake, which made her miserable.

She started using experimental products, which led to her death, luckily or badly she appeared in the Realms with a very human appearance, and shortly after learning what she had become a natural portal appeared.

It turns out that no one had properly reported her death so she disposed of her own corpse and went back to school trying to help the kids.

One specific boy who loved to play pranks started to get depressed during their sessions, Spectra couldn't understand the reason so she continued to try to help: she gave him comfort items, advice, even gave him a stuffed bat knowing they were his favorite animal, but nothing helped.

Strangely the more the boy got depressed she seemed to feel better, satisfied, and young, although it made her feel horrible at first, she began to get used to the feeling, want it, search for it, and her empathy faded.

Contradictory signals from her ended up driving the boy crazy, a small vein of madness that had barely been present before expanded while the constant sessions worsened his condition, until one day he stopped crying and started laughing out loud.

Then their innocent therapy sessions became a very dangerous game, their relationship changed until it became the reverse of the original and almost seemed like a rivalry, Spectra was trying to push him into submission and the boy was laughing, talking about jokes, and starting to show psychotic behaviors.

Unfortunately they had to stop their game when the school began to suspect that something was wrong with the psychologist, Spectra was forced to run away, but the boy never forgot, he suppressed his behavior until he seemed normal and waited for a new rival while hugging his stuffed bat.

He was sure that one day, someone would enjoy his jokes, even the deadly ones.

It's sweaty medic season

[kensatou]

forget the horrors and think about this baby achieving everything he wanted and more (first goal, 2005 vs 600th goal, 2024)

[basmatazz]

Am I sweating, my heart beating out of my chest, with a declining interest in life and constant pain of EVERYTHING because I am depressed and it’s the first HOT (80°F+) day of the year, OR because it’s been 5 days since I’m pretty sure my internal cyst on an organ has burst and sepsis is setting in? Only time will tell!!
