ngl im low key scared of.. what comes after tøp7?? cuz like.. this is the lore finale. what will they make music about next. taxes?.? lmao

#my irrational(hopefully) fear is that they will disband or retire after #also since the trench saga's stretched on for four of their albums #im too deep in their story and the world they built so like im not really prepared for a new album without all of that stuff like??#wdym i dont have to overanalyze every pixel of some photo they uploaded or rearrange cryptic anagrams etc #will they come up with a new story and such? idk #but what am i saying they havent even released a single for this era yet lmaoo #twenty one pilots

also I would bet money that karan has some sort of achi savings account and has for years like he is SO organized and efficient you KNOW he has been putting money away for achi-related purchases and lbr it's probably like 60% of his pay

#like he definitely of course bought Items for achi before they even got together but like #I do believe he also was preparing for their future monetarily speaking for years i just KNOW it. like that honeymoon fund is there #the 'achi retires whenever he wants and never works again' fund is there #'achi has a bad day and I buy him whatever he wants' fund is there #he thrills me #karanachi #cherry magic th

Also it feels so good to be taking classes again even though the subject is human development and at-home care instead of literature or religion. I'm nervous about the practical skills exams, especially for very personal tasks, but I'm just going to do my best and leave it at that.

#a sock speaks #work tag #I'm working for 2 clients this month. scheduling around my training #a lot of it is shopping and errands which is a lot of fun for me #but also it forces me to practice driving with a passenger and parking in tricky places. I make a lot of mistakes but it's been good for me #one major reason I considered this job is that I knew it would push me to learn life skills #I'm so so scared of violating HIPAA or getting into a car accident with a client in the car or accidentally getting a client sick or or or #but it's good to face my fears. this is through. this is the way out.#I've also had the thought that this training will help me be prepared as my parents age. they're in their mid sixties now #and will probably both need to retire soon. I want them to be able to relax and only work if they want to #I don't want to panic if/when they need care. I want to be capable of taking on responsibility when needed.#I feel so much more like a real adult in this job. I think some of my work anxiety is learned #like I start out anxious in a new job or school program bc I'm new. but then I stay anxious bc I've learned that anxious is how to feel #in that role #but so far I'm doing better at staying calm and treating myself more like an adult #and other people also seem to be treating me more like a real adult. please please please let this be transferable to other contexts.#local construction #my mental health has also been decent so far this month despite the intensely busy schedule #I'm really thankful for that. far less stressful caring for one person at a time than bouncing between 2-6 tables at a time

Speaking of adaptations I will probably watch while in recovery, given it looks like L&Co aged up the characters, I wonder if they adjusted the talent loss timeline or if the characters are that much closer to aging out. Lucy might be ok but hopefully the others are polishing their resumes. Probably not though.

#Lucy interviewing for her job: how does your agency handle post-retirement planning #Lockwood: oh we've got that all planned out!#George is going to be a researcher and I am going to be dead :)#Lucy: do you support any other career tracks or is that it #I should probably reread hdm and pjo in preparation...#spring/summer is going to be my Middlegrade Madness Marathon #maybe I should really commit to the MG bit and also watch the Animorphs tv show #I hear it's dreadful #lockwood and co

You must have knowledge of Ester, then. Have YOU thought of anything to do in case Termina was revived by him? No one else has, and they're fighting all three of them right now.

Quincy: "Of course, he never mentioned where he was going...I'm not sure he even knew at the time. Really, all he said he was that he was going to search for some sort of power on his own. ...The point is, the last time we did see him, it was on really bad terms. I mean...we'd all like to help, but...if he's revived Void Termina, which...I didn't think he even could, then...I'm not sure what to do. I...might need to go tell the others. Maybe we could stand a chance if we work together? Or, well...we could at least talk with him again...try to make him see reason...but it'd be difficult...he's always been so stubborn once he's made his mind up on something..."

They sighed, pausing.

Quincy: "...Sorry. You didn't really need to hear all of that, huh? ...I guess I'm still upset over what happened. I feel bad...and partially responsible...but that's not the point. ...Do you...know where this is all happening?"

#Event: Chapter 2.5 - Intermission #story #ask #revolver115 #here you go here's some Lore that's what it's all abt man!!#literally no one prepared for this tho. like in hindsight yeah probably should've #but it's one of those things you don't think abt cause you don't think it's even possible at the time. i think #look i dunno their thought process i just up and left but honestly it's complicated #i needa not bring the personal ester kin aspect into this so much oops #i say as part of bringing them into the story is to process my emotions. coping mechanism and potential for more memories #then again i've also been off in another kinshift that's not even kirby related in the slightest so my brain's everywhere rn pls ignore me #kirby #kirby star allies #kirby au #kirby fanart #kirby series #kirby oc #quincy #ask blog #ask-the-retired-cultist #retiredcultistredux #retired cultist redux

Never mind I ended up yearning anyway

#idk i have let go of the sillies of downloading duolingo to prepare for retirement and now i'm like hang on this is a little real maybe #idk if i'm ready yet. like. i know i only really figured out i was polyamorous a couple weeks ago and almost as soon as i figured that out #i accepted that i might need to live pretty monogamously anyway. bc not to be overly practical but with the amount of support i need from a #partner i was okay with monogamy being the tradeoff for that. or at least i thought i was. but now i'm wavering #i have friends i want to kiss #and there are so many experiences i've never had #i don't think i want my only kiss with a woman to be with my engaged monogamous friend when we are both drunk as fuck #but i also REALLY don't want to flush this chance at a relationship that could be really amazing down the toilet before i try just #because i'm scared. and also like. how many larpers are monogamous really. could be just fine on that front #faer personal files #friend you know who you are. i want to kiss you.#maybe i will make out with some hotties at goth night next week #anyway grow the fuck up julian you have not committed to shit the world is still your oyster and you are in charge of your decisions #don't be a baby and shut down bc you're scared to explore the possibilities of how this could go!!!#but also no untenable compromises!!!#glad we had this talk #and also you have not even had ONE proper date yet. chill.

conceptually funny press conference, one of my favourite things about sports is how often you return to the scene of the crime

#i mean for valentino it's very much 'moments before disaster' given that jerez was the first and not last time he was fucked over that year #and well for sete it was also moments before disaster because apparently you can't escape curses by switching manufacturers #and after having to retire from the last race of 2005 when the engine of his honda failed on lap four #he had to retire from the first race of 2006 when the electronics of his ducati failed on lap two #which. incredible work valentino #hope summoning the forces of darkness to do your bidding was worth it. hope you were prepared to pay the price #//#brr brr #curse tag

oh, the unmatched relief of cancelled plans

#Seven.txt #cw dentist #i was supposed to be laying in the dentist chair rn but instead i am comfy and cozy in my bedroom ehehe #i say ehehe but i’m actually not all that giddy abt having the appt. delayed. like yeah cancelled plans r great in the short term #but i was already ready to go!! i only got 3hrs of sleep so i could get up and get ready in time for my appointment today #and then while i’m in the middle of putting my boots on they call me and let me know the assistant isn’t there today #and he needs his assistant for my procedure so they gotta reschedule me. which is like fine it’s nbd but also #i already got all mentally prepared to go and forced myself out of bed for nothing. AND this delays the other future appointments as well #but it’s fine as long as it all gets done before he retires at the end of the year it’s all good #so anyways now i can at least use this unexpected free time to do some other stuff that i wanna do instead #and yeah i Could go back to bed but that’d fuck up my sleep schedule even more. so i shall just suffer through the Tired today #it worked out anyways cause my father was able to move his afternoon appt. up into my appt’s vacant slot so he’s in that chair rn instead #which is good cause i felt bad that he got up early to drive me and then. they had to reschedule me anyways. so it all ended up working out #and now i’ve got about 18 more days before i’ve gotta worry abt going again!

I love supportive parents Fentons. We're they good parents? Not always but they are trying. More so now that they knew how they'd failed Danny. They did a 180 on their research going from Ghost are evil to ghost are just people. Though some ghost wish they still just acted violently rather then stalking them to ask so *so* many questions.

Danny is happy, his parents are trying and while the GIW are still around as a nuisance he doesn't see then as actually a threat. Everyone in Amity had started treating him better both in and out of Phantom form. He is thriving.

Enter Constantine, there on league business. That business is decommissioning the GIW. The acts had been repealed and the group was supposed to cease activity. But they kept those things from Amity park and everyone there. How the league found out about it was just superman overhearing the agents brag about how they still worked in Amity.

Constantine had a fine time with the civilians there until he mentioned working for the league. Suddenly everyone turns on him. They don't harm him but they ice him out, over charge anything he buys, and hurl insults. He was also pretty sure his string of bad luck was caused by them too not just the obvious things.

So the hellblazer has no choice but to ask the local heros. Phantom tell him to leave, that he had it all covered. Red huntress is luckily more forth coming. If by forth coming you meant telling the truth while insulting a person and group so bad it makes him want to retire. Seriously he knew teens could be vicious but this is special levels of vitriol.

Once he finds out the situation, he can feel a migraine coming on. Not only did the league not answer a call for help repeatedly, but the local heros were two teens who think the league was for the anti-ecto acts. Plus neither of them were *good* at hiding their identities. Phantom was a palate swap and used a pun on his own civilian name. Red huntress Aka Valerie was *proud* of being red huntress and saw no real reason to hide it anymore.

The town is shocked when the league member in town starts taking down the GIW. Even more shocked when he told everyone the acts were repealed. They don't warm up to him though. Well things are better priced again at least.

As he finishes up and prepared to leave, he is stopped by the town mad scientist. They're smiling at him but he just knows this was about to be bad. Which is only proven when the lady pulls out a note pad and pen and he is being given the third degree on how magic works.

Constantine tries to leave he really does. But the man Jack has him body blocked via side hug he can't escape from. They wouldn't take his non-answers as answers and he felt his day get *worse* when they ask him to teach them.

The Fentons want magic only so they can figure it out. Magic doesn't exist so what ever power the hellblazer has has to be ecto based! And they need answers! It could help their son master his own powers and they could finally join him in fights on equal footing. A family that fights evil together stays together. Danny would be so proud of them!

Constantine doesn't want to deal with possible future magic rogues so he hits his s.o.s beacon in his pocket as he goes for a cigarette. He'd get shit for it later but he could handle a Bat lecture not what ever this was.

#dc x dp #dpxdc #dp x dc #dcxdp #danny phantom #I'm just picturing budding magicians jack and maddie who somehow manage to mix it with tech #which shouldnt be possible as science and magic while simalliar dont usually work as one #but these two manage it which leads to them getting a jld invite #Constantine hates it because Jack has decided they're friends #and wont leave him alone
