This is going to make me sound like more of an asshole than I usually am, but I am so, so tired of people under 30.

(wow this rant is long so more under the cut)

Like, my old therapist left her job a couple months ago and I got assigned a new one (and they won't let me change because it's some bullshit policy or something, like you can only change therapists a certain number of times ever; it's not my goddamn fault they have a high turnover and I've had 5 different therapists in as many years because they move on to other jobs), and I don't know how old she is exactly, but I can tell she's young.

I don't have anything against young people as a whole, and having self confidence is good and all that, but Jesus fuck, when somebody tells you they've done everything ever suggested to them (by a professional or read in an actual paper book or just saw on the internet, whatever) for well over 25 years, stop trying to suggest goddamn apps or teensplaining dietary choices. Fuu-huuuck allll the way off.

This has been eating at me since yesterday, and I'm so yuck about it because I have to keep talking to her, I don't have a choice in the matter or else I'll be dropped by the practice and lose access to my medication. I tried to very gently explain to her why her advice wasn't helpful to me and she literally just repeated herself, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

And then, on top of that, I've been reading a lot of fic lately and wow has the quality gone down across the board. Beta readers are a thing of the past, as is grammar [grinded is not a fucking word at all you numpties, the word you're looking for is ground, ffs the American public school system has really failed us all]* and the same exact visuals and tropes almost copy-pasted from some universal outline of how XYZ pairing is meant to interact--I just can't. (I am so very tired of that anime-inspired string of spit between lips or dick) And fact-checking or research? Why bother, they'll get the kudos either way, right?

I mean, I don't have a lot of day-to-day contact with, well, anybody under the age of 75, but... I dunno. I'm having a lot of "well, in MY day" feelings about just about everything. I don't want to be a Karen about anything, but I just feel like everyone's phoning it in all across the board and I'm just tired (don't get me started on service industry jobs; I know they're garbage but manners are goddamn free, learn to eat shit with a smile like the rest of us had to).

So yeah, anyway (old woman shakes fist at cloud.jpeg)

*this doesn't count for ESL writers, English isn't easy and to write a wholeass story in your nonnative language is way, way more than I could ever do, keep on doing amazing sweeties)

#sunken gets personal #and look i know it's not all kids #and i was just as much of a know it all asshole in my teens and twenties #but i'm just out of patience with it #midlife crises are bullshit too

Look lets be honest, we all know student body president doesn’t do SHIT in high school and none of what they do affects anything for any students. With this thought in mind, would you rather vote for the preppy, annoying, “better than everyone because I believe I deserve it” girl who cheats the system you have to deal with, or the coolest girl in school who is kind to everybody and saved the world THREE TIMES because of that fucked system, and also did a sick shrimp jump at this cool party everyone was invited to without discrimination

#look i know where my vote would be #kipperlilly copperkettle #can suck it #oh btw #one is also a saint #and is friends with #the elven oracle #a rockstar #the captain of the bloodrush team #and two other people who like are cool ig but they’re not the point #kristen applebees #all the way #fantasy high #fantasy high junior year #dimension 20 #the bad kids #the rat grinders #d20

love fics where Danny ends up in the DC universe & every alarm goes off at once & the magic users are like "yeah that's the most powerful being in the universe & also possibly super evil we are FUCKED fucked" & the Justice League is freaking tf out trying to find this thing that casually tore a hole in reality & it just cuts to Danny (Fenton) standing in the background blissfully unaware & like "man my life sucks but at least i have this candy bar—" *drops it in a puddle*

#danny phantom #dc x dp #dp x dc #sorry it's 7am i havent slept & all i can think about is dp shit #so a normal day for me basically #you know that ''oh hes fucked up actually'' meme?#i like to view Danny as that but opposite. ''oh he's normal actually''#i think that is underutilized. Danny just being some kid #his life is insane & he has superpowers & is half dead & his parents are ghost hunters & his house is a lab #but underneath it all he really is just some kid #okay so this has gotten almost 300 notes in less than 12 hours so i need to say something #Danny being a little bit pathetic is key here #the others can view him as some super powerful god king. he can even look like it. but he HAS to be a little pathetic & even a bit stupid #he HAS to accidentally drop that candy bar & it HAS to land directly in some dirty street puddle #& he has to stand there for a minute just staring at it before picking it up phasing the water off & sighing so dejectedly #it rattles his lungs like he's about to cry & then he eats it anyways because that boy will eat anything #& all he had with him when he fell through that stupid portal was this candy bar Tucker threw at his head 2 seconds prior #so really he doesn't have anything else to eat at the moment #& then Batman is there #whipping the adoption papers out of his cape & choking out ''god i can't NOT adopt him'' or whatever

patron saint of never growing old

#i think theres something uniquely tragic about how we never know what tessa looked like when she was alive #and that the only reason we have an idea of her appearance is via cyn wearing her skin #i interpret the humans being depicted as glitchy silhouettes to be very literal; the MDs barely remember what they look like #due to their memories being fucked with so frequently. and that makes the cynessa reveal a lot worse imo #to see something- someone- that you once remembered to be warm and familiar contorted into something unrecognizable and dangerous #and being unable to remember what she looked like before being puppeted by a monster #you try to imagine her face- young bright and happy- but can only visualize her dead skin stretching unnaturally across robotic features #belonging to the source of all your suffering and trauma.#guh. she was just a kid. man #never got to grow up. never got to get away from her shitty parents. never got to live before she died. whatever. im normal #murder drones #murder drones fanart #murder drones tessa #tessa james elliot #tessa elliot #tessa murder drones #md tessa #gloom.art

As a neurodivergent arospec you're either very oblivious to people having crushes on you or are cursed with the hyper awareness to people liking you in a way you DON'T want them too

#aromantic #I had a fixation on crushes as a kid #like not my crushes #because i didn't have any #but on crushes as a concept #i used to look at all these “how to know if a boy like you” shit #and was obsess with it #so now every time someone has a crush on me i immedialty notice and hate it #even if it's flattering #i've to an age where people actually act on these feelings and i don't like it at all 🙂#asexual #ace #aroace #aro #asexuality #aromantism #queer

I need codependent Danny/Jason as a little treat (for me) and I love the idea of them having some sort of instant connection the moment they meet (bc ghost stuff idk)

Danny who's been dropped in Gotham with no way home (alt universe??) and he's been here for 36 hours and having a Very bad time senses a liminal being and immediately latches onto them heedless of the fact that his new best friend is shooting at some seedy guys in an alley and goes off about how stressed he is and how he can't make it back to the ghost zone and what a bad day he's been having (and it's important to note Danny is a littol ghost boy literally hanging off of Jason's neck as he floats aimlessly) and Jason is like "who are you??" And Danny is like "oh sorry I'm Danny lol" and then just continues lamenting his woes

And honestly ? This might as well happen. Nothing about this Danny guy(is he human?) gives Jason a bad vibe and tbh he's never felt more calm and level headed before so he just keeps up his usual Red Hood patrol and doesn't even think about it when he heads back to a safehouse and feeds Danny dinner (breakfast) before crashing for half the day

The only thing I actually need is Jason meeting up with the bats for some sort of Intel meeting and they're like "uhhh who's that" and Jason is like "that's Danny." And does not elaborate (very ".... What do you have there?" "A smoothie" vibes)

And it takes them a while to realize that these two have known each other for less than 12 hours and are literally attached at the hip

#very remora fish with a shark #jason todd #danny fenton #danny phantom #dpxdc #dp x dc #this isnt super important but i imagine Danny's ghost form as young and unaged from his death so jason is used to this small whispy kid #who just hangs off him and talks literally all the time #so when something comes up and someone is like 'idk if we can bring danny looking like... that' (glowing and a literal ghost)#danny is like 'oh ok u need a human? ok :)' and transforms #its been WEEKS #jason didn't know he could do that #nobody did #and now theres this 20ish dude standing there #human form danny doesn't talk a lot (anxiety) ghost form danny can't stop talking (anxiety)#could be a ship fic and at this point jason goes from 'where is my little buddy :(' to 👀😳#i imagine theres a sort of feedback loop with them both feeding off of each other's ecto energies and vibes idk #so when danny is human its not as strong #batman is convince this strange entity is like hypnoyizing his son and like hes not WRONG #but it goes both ways #idk #i just need more codependency fics :(#i should go on a bender #ignore my 500 open tabs and go to town

Aftermath.

It was an unfortunate truth of reality that heroes were oftentimes a reactive force. They could only respond to what they knew about.

So whenever the heroes uncovered an illegal lab, it typically had a history. Experiments that had been performed there already. Horrors no one in their right mind would want to bear witness to.

But someone had to go through all those records left behind. To risk the worst of humanity’s crimes in search of any potential clues. Often, they found little that was useful. Maybe some closure for the families of the missing, at most. But sometimes, sometimes they did find things. Their work could save lives.

That didn’t change the fact that few in their departments lasted long, and even fewer could ever sleep soundly.

The man took a deep breath and attempted to steel himself. He knew it wouldn’t help.

He clicked on the file anyway.

GIW Research Logs, Project HLFA, subject DP-01, Experiment #0001.

#thinking about how some poor souls will have to go through all the evil lab things to look for clues #and how that could relate to the heroes finding out about the GIW *after* they’d captured Danny #what’s worse than finding a kid being experimented on? *not* finding the kid but knowing in visceral detail that the experiments happened #is he still alive? did he get out? they don’t know. they can’t know for sure unless they find him or see the outcome on one of the logs #but what if they don’t see him die? is he still out there? they can’t stop looking #and if he didn’t survive? they can’t change a damn thing. all they can do is mourn and try to stop the ones that did it.#dp x dc #dpxdc #dc x dp #dcxdp #danny phantom x dc #danny phantom x dc crossover #vivisected danny fenton #past vivisected danny fenton #ghost investigation ward #giw (danny phantom)#guys in white #i took way too long trying to word this properly and i’m still not 100% satisfied but whatever good enough

One of the most bizarre feelings imo is finding out about a prejudice you didn't know existed

Like. I only recently found out that there's areas IN MY OWN COUNTRY where discrimination against Italian people is a genuine problem

Like

I definitely know WHY I always assumed Racism was a prejudice more dependant on differences in skin colour but holy shit damn yeah okay so there's also ultraviolet racism too huh, we're all just drinking the shitty bitch water then

#I don't know why I'm surprised #And I fear I don't have the education yet to fully grasp this #But in my specific area colorism is the biggest visible aspect of our racist culture #So like #None of this stupid shit makes sense but now it makes EXTRA no sense #Like they ain't even scared cause you look different #But yeah dam n it does drive home that all this crap is politically driven huh #Like as much as fuckers pretending it's science to back up racist rhetoric about why a race is better or worse #It totally does prove that these biases are absolutely arbitrary with no grounds in reality #No heritage is fundamentally DIFFERENT when you get down to it #People is people #Why didn't we talk about this in social studies back in school it's a fascinating angle #It would really have driven it home to a room full of white kids too #We would have been blown away

3am Prompt/Au Idea

What if, like love evil Dick in DC Vampires, more power to him, but like, imagine for a second...

Bruce, after finding out one of his kids is the self-proclaimed Vampire King, just holds up his hand, gathers up said kids into a room and just-

"I am not mad-" Several exchange looks that are half alarmed and half guilty, seeing as they're unsure why they've been gathered up at this moment. "-nor am I disappointed."

Bruce, fully channeling dad mode, "But what did we agree on for world domination plans?" (Somewhere a snooping hero chokes)

"Not to do it when you're on world so you don't have to at least attempt to stop us?"

"Exactly. Now, which one of you broke the rule and now has new medical information you didn't inform Alfred of...?"
