Zatanna: Nightwing- God Damn! Oh boy, I forgot you wore that and looked like that!
Zatanna looks away seeing him in his suit.
Zatanna: Sorry, I've not seen you in a while and the only guy I've been around is Constantine.
Nightwing: Oh okay, understandable, but you called me.
Zatanna: Oh great heavens, right! I- I can't look at your physique and talk to you.
Zatanna turns the other way, looking at a billboard. She pulls out her phone and calls her father, Zatara.
Zatanna: Daddy, explain.
Zatara (sighing): She needs help with capturing a killer and you're the only one she wants to work with.
Nightwing: That's all? Sure.
Zatanna: Yes!
Zatara: One thing, Nightwing?
Nightwing: Yeah?
Zatara teleports himself into the area his daughter and Nightwing are in and grabs the man by the neck.
Zatara: If you do anything with her that is not apart of this mission, if you even kiss her hand, Batman will not be able to stop me from the punishment I will wreck upon you! I will turn you into the glob that was in "I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream." Then I will turn you back with the memories of that pain. You understand me?
Nightwing (terrified): Crystal clear, sir. I won't do anything to her.
Zatanna (lamented): Oh man.
Nightwing: Zattie, not now.
Zatara: Don't call her that nickname or I will make you relive your worse memory and not the one you think it will be.
Nightwing (scared): Zatanna it is. I won't touch her or look at her, I promise.
Zatara: All right.
Zatara releases Nightwing and the man walks a few feet nervous.
Zatara: Sweetie, be safe and keep the mortal alive unless he attempts to have his way with you again, then contact me.
Zatanna: Daddy, I am a grown adult.
Zatara: That doesn't matter when it comes to the possibility of you being with a Wayne child.
Nightwing: I mean I'm not that bad.
Zatara: Did you forget what I just said!
Nightwing looks down at his feet.
Zatara: Good luck, Zattie.
Zatara kisses his daughter on the forehead and vanishes out of the area.
Zatanna: Dad's I swear. Nightwing, you ready?
Nightwing whimpers, laying on the ground scared.
Zatanna: Chill, daddy was kidding around.
Nightwing: He's never cursed a man by turning them into a faceless glob in constant pain?
Zatanna: ...Okay that guy cheated on me with my friend and he turned him back. The guy's in an insane asylum, but you're not that bad.
Nightwing: You're lucky we're at least friends.
Nightwing gave her a thumbs up still trying to analyze what just happened.
Zatanna: Eh, that's more a benefit for you and don't worry I got us two separate hotel rooms.

Alright chat I'll make you a deal. When I reach 1000 followers on any of my platforms I will commission Davis to voice act this segment from my Errors in Resentment fic, and get it animated.
His grin wavered back into a frown, “Don’t worry about it.” He muttered, turning back to the surface of the table. “I am worried about it!” Ruin shrilled, “Quite frankly, your behavior as of late has been extremely worrying!” He continued, uncrossing his arms to use his hands for emphasis. “You haven’t even touched any of your personal projects in a week, and you’ve made hardly any progress on Bloodmoon because you’ve been burying yourself inside of your own code! I’m allowed to worry!” Irritation bubbled up and spilled over, “Why? Because I’m not working on your shit anymore?” Eclipse fired back, sitting back to scowl up at Ruin. “That’s why you brought me back, right? To work on your shit?” “Well, yes, but that’s not why I’m worried!” “Then why?!” Eclipse asked voice strained near Sun levels of pitch. He threw his hands up in exasperation, “You treat me well, you aren’t violent to the point you cause harm, and I know you can be dangerous, but you haven’t tried to pull a fast one on me yet. I’ve seen how you treat that golden idiot and his damned brother, but you don’t dance circles around me. So why, Ruin? Why do you worry, why do you act like you care ?!” He seethed, half out of the chair by now, on more physically equal footing than he had been sitting, when Ruin was sitting on the table. “Oh I don’t know, maybe because I do ?!” Ruin yelled back, posture stiff, built-in claws fully extended. A defensive position, Eclipse’s HUD informed him, a fighting position. “Well, don’t! Don’t care, it’s not going to get you anywhere! I’m not going to change, I’m not going to become this hero you look up to Sun for!” Eclipse snarled, own claws flexing in response. Geared for a fight, he hadn’t had a fight in stars knew how long, maybe this is what he needed. Piss off Ruin so those damnable emotions would stop. “Quite frankly! I don’t want you to change!” Ruin shot back, “Have you ever once considered maybe I enjoy your company the way that it is? Or are you too blind by your own fucking insecurities that you can’t see outside of the box that is Eclipse?”
Lucky me I don't expect to hit 1k for a long while, I'm only at 400 as of writing this. So I've plenty of time to let this fester. (For those that don't know what EiR is it's basically my "Eclipse and Ruin are friends" AU that I made before we got copy Eclipse.)

🎂🎈
Akaashi organizes a surprise party for Bokuto's 18th birthday. He enlists the entire team, assigning them each to a specific task—who brings the decorations, the cake, etc. He keeps lists in the weeks leading up to it, updating everyone on a secret group chat. 
He is adamant that the party has to be PERFECT.
The third years especially are happy to oblige—they find it adorable how serious Akaashi is about everything. They calm him down when something minor goes wrong, reminding him that Bokuto will love it no matter what.
The day arrives. Komi delays Bokuto since they share a final period class, while the rest of the team hurriedly sets up. Akaashi sternly (but still politely) barks orders as he scurries around with his clipboard.
“They’re coming!” Onaga whisper-shouts from his place at the door. Akaashi gasps, and then everyone takes their places, collectively holding their breath. 
Komi hops into the gym with a grin on his face. Bokuto is chattering away behind him, but the boy freezes in the doorway when he sees—
“Surprise!”
Bokuto’s eyes nearly bulge out of their sockets, and then he’s beaming, letting out a delighted laugh.
The party goes off without a hitch. The food is delicious, the music fun and the presents thoughtful. Akaashi had made sure to leave up the volleyball net, knowing Bokuto would still want to play at least a little bit.
“Thanks so much you guys,” he smiles as they clean up. “This was the best birthday ever!”
Konoha shrugs. “Thank Akaashi, dude. He basically planned everything.” He smirks as Bokuto’s jaw drops open.
“Really?” He glances at Akaashi, who flinches slightly as if caught. “Did you, ‘kaashi?’”
The younger boy nods shyly. “I’m glad you had fun, Bokuto-san.”
Bokuto surges forward, catching Akaashi in a quick yet crushing hug. When they part, Bokuto relishes in how the boy’s sharp cheekbones are flushed red. It’s… oddly satisfying to see.
“Happy birthday,” Akaashi mumbles softly, and Bokuto doesn’t know why he’s suddenly feeling so warm all over.
He’s pretty damn lucky, isn’t he? He’s got the best teammate, the best setter, the best friend in the world! The fact Akaashi did all of this for him is amazing.
Actually, Akaashi does A LOT for him. Bokuto’s not oblivious to how attentive the younger boy is to him. No one else stays with him every day for extra practice, or helps him study every week. Nobody else seems so dedicated to keeping Bokuto in tip-top shape.
And now this.
Maybe Bokuto should start helping Akaashi more. And maybe invite him out to do fun things—things that have nothing to do with school or club. 
He should definitely start repaying the favor…
// Thanks for reading! I know it’s not my best, it’s really sappy and simplistic but I hope you enjoyed. This might have a 2nd part later this year! Keep your eyes peeled around the start of December lol

The verb shanks uses being also break up/divorce is sending me. I’m going to be delulu and decide it is what Oda meant. Buggy burned their wedding certificate. /joking
Btw if you ever feel need to talk about buggy just go for it, it was one of the best analysis I saw recently on this site. /genuine
Where were you hiding all those years I needed you/joking
(context for the divorce comment)
the joke usually goes that the person burning the marriage certificate thinks it's like a receipt and now their partner can't get rid of them... of course buggy knows it's much more like a product registration form, and without it shanks can't get any of the support promised in the warranty!
& thank you!! people have been so very kind in their response to my thoughts! i don't have anything new and buggy-specific to say at the moment, i'm afraid—i have fic ideas, but i think we may be at the point where i need more material to read before i can generate meta without someone prompting me—though i did just find some buggy meta that was posted not long after 1082 came out that melted my brain a little. that should be coming out of my queue in a week or so!

When people are like "it sucks to spend a week in bed doing nothing I feel so isolated and bored" I think I'm totally immune to that. What sucks is coughing too much to get any sleep from the hours of 11 pm-4 am but being in bed for a week with no obligations outside of getting better rocks for me idk

there are doctors there are hospitals there are specialists there is medicine there are systems in place so people do not have to suffer and be tortured under their own chronic pain daily and yet. they're all fucking inaccessible to the people who need it most!!! to what I would argue is most disabled people!! I'm so fucking done with the medical system.
#today is an absolutely wretched pain day that makes me want to not be here anymore but guess what!#wasted a whole year trying to convince my doctors I was in significant and disableing pain daily and the best they could do#is tell me to go to PT and to wait 6 months and tell them if it gets better#to prescribe some shit like gabapentin or otc pain meds and write me off#tell me they'll get new X-rays to see if it got worse by the summer#disability exists!! specialists exist! good doctors fucking exist!! somewhere!!! I'm sure!!#but here I sit. in excruciating amounts of pain unable to convince any fucking doctors of anything#and that year I spent pushing myself to the limit is wasted bc at the very end of it all only one guy listened to me#and he said no one in their giant ass facility could diagnose me#so I'm back to square one bc I got a new job which means new insurance and new doctors to try and convince again#I just want to be on disability so i can want to be alive again#I'm so frustrated and in pain constantly#what are people like me who have to work 40hrs to afford to live but don't have any family to rely on supposed to do??#just die? am i supposed to continue to work until im too disabled to move and be profitable unless i get lucky?#bc some fucking doctor finally decides to actually listen???#ive tried ALL THE DAMN TRICKS TOO. telling them a friend has it and thats how i found out. that my previous doctor was looking into it#etc etc#I'm SO done living like this i am exhausted.#and to know that i COULD BE HELPED. RIGHT NOW. is the worst fucking part#these systems are in place so people like me dont have to fucking suffer.#but i cant even do anything about it bc i have a cat.

If you're a mutual I've chatted with on Discord or even just here on Tumblr, I'm just makin a scattershot announcement that I'm having some increasingly serious health issues in part based on the stress of my living situation and so if I drop off the face of the earth it truly was nothing personal and I've had a good time chatting with the lot of you.
Not trying to be majorly alarming just planning for the worst while hoping for something better. If you see me keep posting it means I'm continuing to improve my situation, which *does* have if not an end date at least the chance to work for something more sustainable and not frankly at times nightmarish. If not, it's been real. Had some of the most chill times of my life with some of y'all over the past few years, as well as many genuinely enjoyable casual convos. Hope everyone keeps finding stuff to enjoy about the world.

gruxime makes me a little insaneeeee esp from maximes perspective cus its like. damn. a hell of my own creation.
#like even outside of shipping or w/e if maxime hadnt embarrassed gru at homecoming they cld have been friends. more even#meeeee when im miserably unhappy in my group of friends trying to live up to something i can never be#instead of being myself w ppl who get it#it does make me smile that they seem to be on good terms at the end of 4 and makes me think that like. maybe gru never rllyyyy hated him..?#like to maxime it was world ending catastrophe but gru likes destroying ppls will to live for fun even as a kid#autism to autism communication… FAILED.#undecided on if gru wld have liked maxime back or not. at least in canon#ummmm. i think it cld be possible. but in a weird confused rivarly kinda way#like maxime is so bad at giving mixed signals that gru genuinely cant tell if he likes him or wants him dead for ages#like when ppl go ‘oooh hes just being mean cus he likes u’ but like. genuinely#um kind of a tangent but my thoughts for gru at lpb is that he mostly keeps to himself and doesnt rlly have any friends#but he dgaf (effect of literally never having had anyone close to him b4)#in comparison to maxime who is all abt cliques and surrounded by ppl …. but still alone 😔💔#i do think some of maximes friends wld be actually nice tho. like in the same position as him#everybodys just trying to fit in. u know#anyways i think gru wld spend 99% of his time either alone or chilling w the minions#but its just nicer for him to mostly be left alone instead of bullied by like. the whole school#btwwwww interesting that when maxime mocks him at the reunion 1. everyone laughs and 2. gru looks surprised that everyone laughs#like hm damn maybe having crazy popularity and connections pays off. Damn.#he doesnt seem to be bullied while actually at the school as ppl cheer for him at the show#i think this is maybe a byproduct of gru being considered a failed villain in the current day#HEY BTW i thought it was a littleeee strange that gru being an avl agent isnt like. common knowledge among villains. seems like big news#that wld have leaked somehow. but idk maybe he got lucky or the avl covered it up#but damn after the reunion they DEFINIETLY all know. cld be an interesting setup to dm5 [blinks cutely]#lol. anyways. my thoughts

truly a blessing that im not home right now or i don't what i'd do to my roommate. fucking audacity
#long story short results from the final test from water constructiona got posted#she got the 9th highest score out of all 150 people#i barely passed having 2 points over the limit and our 3rd friend was short on 3 points so she will have to retake#mind you that last girl was the one who actually put the most work into this out of us three#she actually thoroughly prepared me while i read the presentations twice and my roommate didn't do anything at all#roommate got a cheat sheet minutes before the test from some rando and just copied the answers that were there#and now is boasting how she got one of the top scores without wasting any time#got lucky okay that's life#but then on the general uni group chat one guy asked about when's the 2nd try for the test#and i response to which my roommate on our private group started a whole ass monologue#that how in the worst HE didn't pass this. he was always getting top scores from all the subject. he got a 5.0 from hydrology#well shut the fuck up he's just some guy who's a student like anyone else#it's not set in stone that he'll always have top scores because it's just fucking hard anyway can do worse sometimes even top students#maybe he was tired maybe he didn't have time to study maybe he didn't have any cheat sheets and just tried to rely on his knowledge#anything can happen and he can get any grade just like anyone can#very few things piss me off as much as people saying stuff like her#i got so heated up over this that my head started to hurt#i hate it here#this is what makes me always so damn anxious before any test#because if i fail everyone always starts asking what happened and how ME out of all people didn't pass#so now when dhe started saying this about that guy it just hit to close to home i guess#i need to go on a walk to cool down

gods, why didn't i get a college degree in anything useful?
#i've known since the day it unceremoniously came in the mail that my degree is worth less than the paper it's printed on#yeah i needed to college experience for social and lersonal growth#but why couldn't i have gotten something out of it that can help me find a damn job?#what was the fucking point of going through all that?#(the social and personal growth obviously)#ahgggggg#i'm too broke and disabled to go back to school NOW#(the way i'm coping with the anxiety of waiting to hear back about the internal job i just interviewed for#is to have Officially Decided That I'll Be Rejected Out Of Hand. So What Do I Do Next?#it hurts but at least i can move forward if the worst come to pass#and it gives me something to do while i'm Waiting#ughhhhh#why couldn't i have sold my damn soul and gotten the shitty computer science degree my school had??#i remember visiting a house a friend was pet-sitting for and seeing the couple's gaming setup#and just seeing dollar signs. they both worked in computer science and made $$$#but at the time it sounded like the worst thing in the world#and i'd already changed my major once... loved what i was studying... and had my dad breathing down my neck about how much my education cost#i'm so lucky i don't have debt. thanks to my grampa. but holy hell did my dad lord that inheritance over me and make me dance for it#i don't think he ever got over grampa pulling *his* college funding bc he spent college fucking around and dropped out#couldn't wrap his head around that the narrow thing he'd trained me to be would never follow in his 'rebelious' footsteps#i beat myself up over A-'s there was no way i'd do anything other than take my grades seriously#but that was the problem. i was worried about grades and what sounded bearable to learn. not what was realistic to do with it#i wanted to get a fucking phd! with what fucking money!!!!#of course not that i had the support or the maturity to understand what it meant to choose an education that could grant me a career#but who can i blame if not myself?#dad always said i had to Go To College. there was no choice in not going. but as soon as college came he shoved me out the door#and slammed shut. how was i supposed to know what to do without him there to make me do things all of a sudden?#that took nearly a decade to learn dammit#personal
