ppl on here and on twitter got really weird about the ear flicking scene. kind of disregarding that shiv was acting like a 6 yr old and then that he retaliated also like a 6 yr old. we actually have no idea what their dynamic was like before the events of the show and i think this was a peek into that. shiv is a little mean to him and he’s a little mean back but his type of mean is very weird (barnacle??) and that weirdness itself might have been intriguing to shiv at some point. her own little meow meow who makes really weird comparisons and references to things she’s never heard of or cared about.

#a lot of ppl more familiar with jesse armstrong's work said the scene was very peep show to them #and i dont think a lot succession viewers are familiar with peep show ( such as myself)#saying that tom was being abusive is inaccurate imo #and then painting shiv as an idiot for falling into old patterns by accepting this 'abuse' by asking him to dinner #is also really fucked up?? and ignores shiv's accomplishments in the episode #she is on a high actually #and is back to plotting and scheming #she's asking him out to dinner bc 1) shes feeling good 2) misses him and 3) for scheming purposes perhaps #she wants to get rid of cyd and put him in her place #like im sorry but shiv and tom do love each other #she herself admits that she hurt him first and then he hurt her #she knows theyre fucked up #the ear flicking wasn't what some viewers think it was #especially when we've spent 4 seasons with tom and he's never hit anyone except greg with water bottles #anyway this is just my opinion #goodybye

Due to issues with Jack’s fertility, the Fenton kids were both conceived using donor sperm. The donor they ended up receiving wasn’t anyone special; just a random chemical engineer from Gotham City by the name of Jack Napier

And perhaps things could have ended there. Perhaps in another reality, they did, and Danny never had to pay more than a passing thought to his genetic father.

But in this world, Jack Napier faced one extraordinarily bad day, and it broke him. All he could do in response was laugh at the utter meaningless of it all. And by the time his cackles subsided, the man he had once been was dead. In his place, only the Joker remained.

Yet despite how suddenly everything changed, neither of them knew the truth of things right away. The Joker had never even known he had a son, since the service didn’t inform people if their donations were used. And though Danny had known Napier’s name, he had no reason to pay enough attention to the man to notice his disappearance.

That ignorance couldn’t last forever, though.

All it took was a few medical tests from Danny before the automated database systems made the connection.

And that certainly didn’t go unnoticed by those in Gotham.

It looks like it’s time for Uncle J to pay his kid a surprise visit! Ooh, maybe he could break out the ol’ electroshock kit and bring back Joker Jr too, make it a proper family reunion!

#dp x dc #dpxdc #dc x dp #dcxdp #danny phantom x dc #danny phantom x dc crossover #dp x dc prompt #dpxdc prompt #dc x dp prompt #dcxdp prompt #dpxdc the joker #danny is the joker’s biological son #IMO danny definitely shouldn’t be overpowered in this #like i feel like this’d have way more potential for drama than comedy #having danny genuinely be on the back foot and have to work with his still-inimical rogues and/or the Bats to make it through #the joker has survived as long as he has for a *reason*#(well and plot armor because he’s popular but putting aside that)#he’s smart and sets up plans to push things in his favor #he may be at a disadvantage by not being on his home turf but he can still set up schemes

In-game Narilamb:

based on my gameplay, post-usurption

Settled down, former god of death, retired and now wifed up, occasionally gives each other kisses, danced together when the flock is asleep

Narilamb in the Fanfics:

#q myers thoughts #I’d like to think this video was just narinder doing the usual log work in somewhere secluded bcs yknow #he’s trying to adjust to the cult #and then lamb prolly said summ triggering hence why narinder started jumping them #actually. is it even a narilamb fanfic without narinder plotting some scheme to take back the crown or #cotl #cult of the lamb #cotl lamb #cotl narinder #narilamb

Do peri and irep still get along? They were friends in school but what about now?

(Btw I absolutely adore your iddie bitties (?) au, it's amazing )

As of current? They're enemies once again.

Going to Boarding School forced their hands to become frenemies. It's a bit difficult to hate each other when they had to share a dorm room!! Their truce ended the moment they graduated.

Although Irep and Peri has had much less interactions since they both have very demanding jobs now.

Bitties Series: [Start] > [Previous] > [Next]

#fairly oddparents #fop #fop a new wish #fop peri #peri #fop irep #irep #asks #itty bitties fop au #very hard to scheme and plot to kill your counterpart when you have to keep anti fairy world functioning #and its VERY hard to remember your counterpart is trying to kill you when you've a kid to watch for #their relationship is. pretty complicated.#they're close like brothers. theyre sworn enemies. they want to kill each other. nobody understands them like hte other. they annoy the oth #a constant back and forth and push and pull

okay i will admit it: i don't like 431 from a narrative standpoint (or really any standpoint) but if you view it exclusively as the true epilogue in an alternate universe of mha in which 5 year old katsuki is right about deku looking down on him and doing everything to spite him and wanting to bring about his downfall then the whole thing becomes kind of absurdly funny

#telling a guy that hes your symbol of victory and that youve been chasing after him for years #& establishing a rivalry with him & getting him to confront the fact that he's in love with you & fighting TOGETHER in your final battle #to the point that he DIES for you and you lean on him when you lose your quirk #and he spends 8 years grinding so he can buy you a suit and be partners with you so you can BE together #and then JUST when he decides to ask you to work with him- you leave him for a woman haunted by the ghost of yuri's past #and specifically dump him in his car with his best friend next to him.#ALL as an elaborate scheme to get back at him for bullying you in middle school #like idk its almost fucking funny.#imagine thinking that the guy who helped you up once when u were both 5 is plotting to make you suffer and twenty years later #it turns out you were RIGHT #okay to be clear this isn't actually how i feel about what happened in 431 #thats more complicated. in the meantime: shitpost!#mha leaks #mha manga spoilers #mha #bnha #bkdk #bakudeku #bkdkbk #bakugou katsuki #midoriya izuku #ant speaks

Pages from trying to keep a little sketchbook-scrapbook type thing going for two weeks lol. I gave myself specific rules in hopes they might all end up more cohesive/consistent seeming, but alas, scribbly chaos reigns, it seems

#sketchbook #scrapbook #Actually I feel like these are kind of incomprehensible in photo form like.. In person holding the book its easy to look at #but as images on this scale I feel like there's so much tiny little text and small scribles and stuff you'd have to 'right click > open #image in new browser tab > zoom in' just to actually really see the thing. which for 7 images is excessive lol.. so. probably not the best #medium for sharing really but. I suppose I thought they might look cooler lined up next to each other. The whole part of using a #limited color palette is so that maybe they kind of seem to have more consistent color schemes or something throughout. but I dont #know if they look all that 'related' or not. I think these types of challenges I have always sucked at because I am a being of clutter and #excess. I can't just do like one little simple nice looking design and have that Crisp Neat calligraphy with evenhanded perfect lines #and perfect symmetical composition and etc. etc. Like some poeple post very aesthetically clean and cohesive looking sketch #pages or something but I simply cannot hold back the brain impulse to add more. more. more. Fill every single blank space with color #or a little drawing or a sticker or something. I take away 500 things and there are still a million there. Even when I thik I'm being #'simplistic' I'm still usually being 2x more complicated and cluttered than the standard or whatever lol. I guess thats clear from my #outfits/costumes though too. Like whatever that saying is from that person about something like 'before you leave the house take off one #more accessory. you dont need it' for me is like.. 'before you leave the house. add 10 more accessories. and 6 more layers. and another'#AAANyway. I wonder if also maybe some people would try to plan theirs in a way to look good or something or like.. plot things on the page #before placing them. I did sometimes have a theme for a day kind of (like day 10 I ended up finding a few gold and green things and then #was like.. hey... what if I looked for a few other things and only used these colors today') but aside from that I was just slapping down #stickers randomly and working around them to fill the page. Maybe a lot of neat minimalistic asthetic design is about planning and #having a Vision set ahead of time. instead of just complete random whatever. doodling whilst watching youtube videos or eating lunch. It's #a miracle actually I've managed to not spill any food on the book the whole time. anyway.. I do wish the highlighter really showed up. the #scanner kind of makes the colors look VERY different to irl. But also it got much clearer images than just camera pictures of pages. alas..#..Still oddly enjoy the phrase 'Salisbury Steak gently kissed with industrial pollutants'#probably my favorite section of 'gluing random papers and things onto the page' lol #Also I wonder if it's super obvious that I literally never ever use references when I draw (save for the few freakish looking youtube #face sketches) since everyone is always in the same positions and looking very similar ghhb. This could have been a good opportunity to #work on not solely drawing from my mind and try to do more Dynamic Experimental scribbles. NO. Same exact eye for the 90th time #be upon ye. But I guess it was meant to be casual 'daily doodles'. True 'practice' would make it seem too effortful like a full project. hm #(lol the one decimated pencil in the set... never hand me a writing utensil. i will passively destroy it somehow. shaving the sides of a #pencil off with a knife or snapping a pen in half as a nervous fidget without even realizing i've done it. sorry to the drawing implements)

well, he doesn’t say “i love you” in this fic, but he does approach you fresh from a fight, covered in his enemies’ blood, sword still drawn in one hand, and you think he’s going to force you to stand up or grip your chin and make you look at him, which is what he always does, but you’re surprised and frozen in place when he falls to his knees. his words come out shaky, like he’s moments away from snapping, when he tells you you’re the only one in this world with the power to betray me. which is basically in and of itself a love confession

#this is from the naoya fic #just something abt how he doesn’t trust anyone #that everyone is against him and wanting to kill him #and so when people do plot and scheme against his back #he doesn’t count it was a betrayal bc he never trusted them in the first place #but you!!!!! are the one person close to his side !!!!!#YOU are the only one he allows by his side

I'm in ruins. I'm devastated. This is the opposite of how I felt at the end of last season. How did we go from OLD MAN DIVORCE CUSTODY BATTLE to THE JURY SENTENCES THIS EIGHT YEAR OLD TO DEATH FOR MAKING FRIENDS

#the dragon prince #the dragon prince spoilers #first of all. how is this children's show gouging out my heart #second of all. how much do we want to bet the last crystal will bring that kid back #if I were Aaravos I too would want to plot a millenia-long vengeance scheme

I don't think anything will ever be funnier than Banesaw's first of his only two sentences being, "Finally, I get to kill a Schnee," knocking Weiss unconscious in a single hit, then just chucking her into the next room so Blake can save her

#rwde #forever giggling and exasperated by this train sequence #this could have been avoided if it had been BLAKE fighting Banesaw and far more interesting too #they (presumably) had HISTORY. HE WANTED TO DRAG HER BACK INTO THE FOLD. THIS COULDVE BEEN PERSONAL #and literally NOTHING came out of a white fang member meeting a schnee so what was the FUCKING POINT SHAWLUNA #YOU DIDNT EVEN TRY #also im like 99% sure banesaw is just yatsuhashis model w a mask #anyway wtf was that train plot eh? was the purpose solely to cause chaos and destruction? wtf was the goal?#seriously early rwby schemes feel so random. reminds me of mcu thanos oddly enough #the way both cinder and thanos bip bopped between destruction for destructions sake and Big Smart Plan with Big Purpose is uh. Bad #and for the exact same reason: there was no structure or forethought in the writing process #also both were written by shitty men. i will fight the russos in a parking lot with nothing but my teeth #they absolutely shouldve been fired after civil war. absolute dogshit #do not ask me abt my mcu opinions i will never stop screaming #edit: forgot banesaw opened for roman at the white fang recruitment meeting so he has FIVE lines not two #two out of five lines are abt members of rwby yet neither amt to anything. yeehaw

gold star for cathy parr!

#sjdhdjdhdhhfhf found a vid of sydney parr and immediately dropped everything to draw this!#six the musical #six the musical fanart #catherine parr #every time i go back and do canon stuff i lowkey imagine being 14 again like this was the exact brush i used akshdjdhd #it's like. internally i am kicking my feet and giggling but also simultaneously expecting to be told 'oh grow up'#but like canon wise i love the idea of it being a fake competition. like. the queens all plotting and scheming out the show #i love the hc which is just that. they are all incredibly cleverer than they make themselves out to be in the show!#if i have time #i'd love to draw them all making the show. the behind the stage stuff #i think the closest thing i got to that was making fake insta lives for the characters HAHA #this is so so self indulgent. i love her

As a big sibling with a lil sib with epilepsy, when they read TBC they Honestly thought if they got struck with lightning reciting the lord's prayer they'd be cured like Shadowsight is from their epilepsy. I had a discussion with them on how that's not how it works, but ge was so upset they took it away from Shadowsight that he hasn't picked the books back up and has stated that 'he hopes Ashfur wins and starts a new religion.,'

I do not even know how to respond to this besides saying that your little sibling is 100% right to be pissed and I now also hope Ashfur wins and starts a new religion.

#Legit I did not know that Shadow's epilepsy being taken away was so deeply upsetting to SO MANY people #I put it back because putting it back was just the right thing to do (even asked the small following I had at the time what type to portray #(they picked the full tonic-clonics. I would have just done localized or absence if they'd asked me to)#And I did all that research for one single anon who asked for an epilepsy herb guide #So holy cow I didn't know that SO MANY people were snubbed and upset by canon's choice to do that. I'm so sorry #Your little sib isn't missing anything btw they do just go on to confirm that Shadow no longer has seizures.#In book 4 of TBC they say that it was all Ash all along and that's what they've stuck with into ASC #I'm sitting on an essay about... That plot thread. The Ashfur Grooming one #But it's in my drafts because I was a bit afraid of controversy #because i think it was written poorly. Even on top of Book 4's pivot to retcon away Shadow's seizures #I know a lot of people like and are invested in the grooming subplot of TBC. But. I think it was executed AWFULLY #and its really telling that THIS is the plot they tout as grooming *by name* in-canon.--#--and that Shadow has to 'pay' for what he 'did' in some way as if there was ever a choice in the books they wrote--#--But seemingly didn't even seem to clock that what was happening in Spotted's H was grooming until there was intense backlash #and a big part of my contention is the way that Book 4 suddenly tries to retcon that Shadow was groomed from the time he was a child #when it was actually part of book 1 that Shadow was able to personally tell the difference between a real vision and Ash's suggestions--#--BECAUSE he didn't have an accompanying seizure #So like... just know it's also NOT just 'you' if you connected to the character that was epileptic. It WAS there. It was a BIG part of him #Book 4 retconned it so that his epilepsy was part of a long scheme when before that point it was part of him #''ohh ur destiny is to see into the shadows'' BULL SHIT!!#bone babble

i had to do some truly impeccable, old-fashioned scheming and plotting at work to hoodwink the competition and get us out of a tight spot, so I retreated to where all my best plans hatch (*). After pondering my orb (**) I came up with something so devious and devilish that when I told it to my boss he was enthusiastic but also a little nervous like he was wondering where do I get it from, i get it from carbs and an unrelenting fountain of spite I guess

(*) local Egyptian pizza joint

(**) margherita

#i do all my best plotting in pizzerias #when my old boss wanted to fire me I had pizza and then went back in with a revenge plot #it's just how it is #anyway as thomas cromwell says you better have the axe in your hand you better not miss #LOVE scheming against shitty competitors. honourable competitors can stay

Btw I was correct in my hypothesis that having a job again has reactivated the fanfic writing juices in my brain lol. Goes along with what some of those ppl on YouTube have said in that being bored can be so good for creativity

#i don’t. know how to say that in a better worded detailed way lol #but /i/know what I mean lol #now I just gotta fight against myself forever to focus on job bbdbfbfdhdhdhrhthth #it’s ok once I get past the intro stuff and know how to do tasks #i think it’ll be okay lol!!!!#but in the back of my mind. plotting and scheming about characters in situations

i always feel like there's such an underappreciated aspect of lumpus being the one to have feelings for slinkman (over the years) which is that there's something so Hilarious about him wanting to dump his head in a vat of acid because he's thinking stupid mushy shit, or Worse, about this Thing again

who also does not pick up on this at all and just thinks he's being weird again

#camp lazlo #talk #shipping stuff #scoutmaster lumpus #slinkman #slinkman.jpg is always there for us #you love your silly little slug don't you scoutmaster lumpus...#''an underappreciated aspect'' there's only like 3 people in the world who've ever written in-depth thoughts about them in general syd #it's just so easy for me because i also see slinkman doing anything and i'm like (holding my head in my hands) wtf #My Beloved Slinkman Calms Me Down #i think about it a lot though because before i started joining in over here #slinkman being the one with the crush is what i would see like 99% of the time #but i Literally had to actually go and plot things out for lumpus to get better before i could see slinkman liking him back #and that's also why i have this Entire larger picture here #where in the grand scheme of things i'm not even really imposing on canon in that way...#i'm not really planning for tension to be at the forefront there #its some other weird shit going on. y'know. until other stuff gets revealed in the past and the future #the whole process here is like a 30-year journey we're taking the advanced course and still not ending with anything labelled #so i do get it especially with lumpus being preoccupied with jane #and yet still not for a moment have i subscribed to slinkman having feelings first ☝️

finished hera & started lady macbeth and we have got to start blaming women for shit again for real

#this is a joke. but.#if i have to read one more retelling~ that’s just #‘but what if the woman was ASSAULTED ALL THE TIME and had NO AGENCY so everything bad she did was JUSTIFIED or a LIE???’ please stop #when you’re actively taking agency away from women written and portrayed in deeply patriachal cultures you’re not giving them a voice #youre taking the voice they had away.#women worked around and within the patriarchy while having feelings and ambitions and wants and dreams and flaws and virtues forever.#without the necessity of ‘but what if the MAN in her life was just SUPER EVIL and NOT NUANCED and she was just ASSAULTED’#what if no women wanted anything but SAFETY ever what if they were never power hungry or jealous or predatory ever themselves?#yes circe did this too if i have to see one more person say ‘oh except circe’ i will scream.#circe is literally like. the worst offender here.#pivoting back though sorry but it also all feels very bioessentialist PRESUMABLY without meaning to but ‘oh men are just inherently evil #with no nuance. nuance is for women and by nuance we mean was just super oppressed and wronged’ is uh haha actually terfy as fuck #good ol lady macunsexmeherebeth who definitely didn’t plot the whole thing to begin with for sure needs to be Given a Voice #i haven’t finished this one yet btw. i like this author’s work on the whole i just think this one is a swing and a miss because like.#this is not a woman who didn’t do anything and who didn’t have a voice.#if you want to show us her perspective in terms of her psychology and her inner workings and how she got to this place excellent wonderful #but not when the answer is just ‘but actually nothing was her fault ever!!!!!!’ like. lol let her want that crown for reasons that aren’t #my husband is abusive.#like oh my god.#same with hera you’re gonna go with the ONE tradition where she didn’t want to marry zeus #and all her rage is just about Injustice and the Patrairchy and not actual envy. okay.#she & zeus were an og most toxic couple of all time but they WERE in virtually all tradition a couple still who had times of reconciliation #and attachment.#like you know. actual toxic and abusive relationships do.#also it completely erased rhea who was actually the character whose story this more closely resembled #(warrior goddess with flop husband she finally schemes against)#instead she just. uh. went away oh no hera’s so afraid of being weak like mama she must break the cycle.#like okay this is the story you want to tell stop superimposing it on mythical entities from thousands of years ago then.#justice4rhea.#okay sorry. end rant.
