the fact that shakespeare was a playwright is sometimes so funny to me. just the concept of the "greatest writer of the English language" being a random 450-year-old entertainer, a 16th cent pop cultural sensation (thanks in large part to puns & dirty jokes & verbiage & a long-running appeal to commoners). and his work was made to be watched not read, but in the classroom teachers just hand us his scripts and say "that's literature"

just...imagine it's 2450 A.D. and English Lit students are regularly going into 100k debt writing postdoc theses on The Simpsons screenplays. the original animation hasn't even been preserved, it's literally just scripts and the occasional SDH subtitles.txt. they've been republished more times than the Bible

Danny Phantom, The Show:

geeky kid gets super powers from his parents' weird inventions! now he has to fight a rogue gallery of ghosts... but uh-oh! he still has to keep his grades up, deal with his embarrassing parents, and navigate girl troubles! rap theme song!

Danny Phantom, the Fandom, After 19 Years of Fermentation:

a child dies. but not quite. the inherent tension between life and death. the obsession of the dead for faded remnants of the living. warped green shadows on the walls of a dark laboratory. having to hide your true nature from those who should be your greatest allies. the fear of the monster you could become if you let yourself. being a ghost as a metaphor for the trans experience. a cold breath on the back of your neck in the dead of the night. rap theme song!

DC x DP Prompt: Bruce is bad at emoting but at least ghosts are empathic (too bad bat kids are not)

Was reading Twincognito on AO3 when I stumbled across this gem again:

~

" “Danny, Tim. I was just…checking in. Is everything alright?” Curse his inability to make meaningful conversation when it wasn’t a life or death situation.

They glanced at each other and shrugged.

Then Danny hauled himself out of the bed and walked over to Bruce.

Bruce tried not to let too much excitement show on his face. "

~

Now I really want to read a story where Bruce adopts Danny post Meta trafficking and is being his usual emotionally constipated self. His kids keep getting mad at him because he's treating their new meta brother who was trafficked poorly (generally being stilted in conversation with him, walking away hurriedly mid-conversation, avoiding Danny when he's feeling really awkward, etc). They think Bruce is discriminating against Danny for being a civilian, meta, dealer's pick, but really it's just Bruce being horribly socially awkward. Danny knows this because of ghost empathy and find the whole thing hilarious. The whole thing comes to a head with the Bat Kids staging an intervention in the Bat Cave.

yes, this!

i also headcanon that the oldies, the burbs and the pleasants used to have their own gather up group of the typical conservative middle-class families who were extremely judgmental (that's why the newbies weren't part of their club (too broke) or the goths (too zany for their tastes)). like, the more i look through the mary-sue/daniel and jennifer/john couple arrangements the more i think they were rather encouraged to tie the knot with each other. yeah, that wasn't an arranged marriage situation like in the capp family but i still think there was a pressure from their parents to do so and continue the generational cycle.

they haven't really explored their options beyond their spouses that was particularly crucial for daniel, since, he's like, a romance sim. i think, he's bisexual but he's never got the chance to explore this side of him, opting only for women.

jennifer being a tomboy, was charming as a kid and probably jeff, being traditionally masculine (he's an army man after all), liked his daughter's "quirks", cause he could relate to her better. but still, she, eventually, had to "grow up" and become a real Woman. which also meant she had to abandon her dream of becoming a sport superstar since it's not feminine for a woman to aspire something like this.

mary-sue was probably conditioned by coral to ignore her husband's affairs and be the housewife, while her husband is making a success in a career field. that explains why mary-sue is at the bottom of the business career, she has just recently started working, after the twins were old enough to take care of themselves. and daniel's affair with kaylynn was a straw which broke camel's back.

john is the least royally fucked out of four of them, since he's actually grown to like this suburban life and being a sahd (after all, the burbs were a bit less conservative compared to the pleasants and the oldies)… but he's just so… freaking oblivious it's almost comical to the extend.

anyways... the burbs are like... soo tragic in a heterosexual suburban way. like i don't think john's a bad husband at all i think he's even down to be malewife of all time and all that i think it's more like. he's completely ignorant to the fact that jen genuinely doesn't like being a nuclear family fashion mom and a lot of it is her own internalized problems because she wanted to grow up and be a sports star... but her own family pushed her against that and john's content to not pry or push her into following her actual dream. like. he's genuinely invested in living in the suburbs with the garden and all that stuff and just assumes that because jen isn't outrageously openly upset with it, she's happy with it. because he's kinda dumb in that straight guy way yk. i think their issues run a lot deeper than any kind of simple dislike like they simply couldn't make it work and both be happy even if they were honest.

but jen is Not happy and she's probably pissed that she's not happy because she's supposed to be happy. got husband and a happy kid and a house in the suburbs she is not supposed to be soooo sad. and her brother Does have what she wanted but takes it for granted it's sooooo sick

I feel the need to share since my lube post is going around that my life is just like that since I worked at the sex shop. Sex Ed is a very standard topic. People just immediately pick up a vibe from me and even in situations where someone doesn’t know I used to sling dildos for a living they’ll just start confiding sex stuff to me.

Not in a creeper way. But like this weight had been lifted and they can finally talk freely about sexual topics. The energy I put off is just so blasé and accepting that people tell me about their sex lives, usually very quickly after meeting me. They usually then have a moment of panic or regret and apologize but I always reassure them that I used to work in a shop and that I see nothing odd about talking about it.

My go-to line is, “I’m a creature devoid of judgement.” They always laugh. Then the questions get more specific or people start asking for brand recommendations. It’s always been funny to me.

My beloved has always been a little confused by it. “People don’t just start talking to me about sex! I know you don’t bring it up. It just always seems to go there when people talk to you.”

“It’s just my energy.”

The first time I was meeting their mom she was coming to stay with us. We picked her up from the airport and brought her home. My beloved went upstairs to use the bathroom. When they came back down their mom was asking me questions about vibrators and their jaw hit the floor.

In our room later they said, “She doesn’t even talk to me about that stuff! She’s so embarrassed about sex topics, I cannot believe she was asking you about that!”

“What can I say,” I shrugged, “I’m a creature devoid of judgement.”
