jaydicktim stripper au (undercover?) (jason is the stripper)

it's been a million years and i've been rotating this on and off the entire time lol. i can see a moment of like--tim is this really straightedge kid, obsessively so, and dick is like ok, you've dated around (a lot) (lol tim) and you don't drink or drug and that's fine, good, even, but strip club? let's hit up a strip club. or maybe it's not dick's prerogative but a titans thing, and the the titans teams are always some weird mishmosh, so it's like--here's dick and tim but also roy and maybe kon and some of the girls because why the hell not, and this strip club has men in it. okay. somebody knew that when they decided to drive the whole pack of sweaty mostly-sober vigilantes here but nobody's sure whose idea it was anymore.

tim disappears fucking instantaneously. he's in the crowd. he's got his mouth suctioned to the lip of a beer bottle and banging his teeth on it repeatedly because if he does anything else but stim absently he's going to scream. because jason todd is on the pole. jason! the red hood! jason from HIS HOUSE? and the fucking titans are here! and oh God why does he look Like That. Who oiled him up? Who covered his scars? He can't reach all of them himself. Someone touched him with such careful attention to apply all that makeup and oh. fuck. he's looking right at tim. (and he's furious.)

ANYWAY //puts myself to bed// i think jason is undercover and he's massively fucking pissed that the titans rolled up. tim has a raging hard on and there's no way jason is getting out of here without at least dick seeing him, but there's also the fun of jason having to be Very Undercover about all this and giving a lap dance to, say, mr dick grayson. or tim! loudmouth kon points out that his little buddy used to be vehemently against premarital sex and he's probably STILL A VIIIIRGIIIIIN and yeah well. jason is whispering in tim's ear about cracking open his rich boy wallet and paying up because after this he is going to be strangled in his sleep. (he's also aware that tim is hard. and that dick is watching. for normal reasons, surely. surely because he's a protective bat and not because he likes watching. definitely the former. yeah. ok. jason likes having their eyes on him. oops.)

Forget about torturing your blorbos, putting them through the wringer. I'm putting my blorbo in perfectly ordinary, pleasant situations. Their tortured personality will cause them anguish anyway, making an absolutely mundane scene into the most dramatic, agony filled affair as though the world is ending and it's all their fault

what if your doppelgänger wasn’t evil it was just a person. what if your doppelgänger wasn’t trying to replace you it was just trying to learn to be a person and you were the best model it had. what if your doppelgänger looked at you with your eyes and said with your voice that it just wanted to be loved. what then.

anybody else feel that being human is like being a long-time syndicated cartoon character watching the world get more complex while your own design stays the same until youre incongruous with the reality around you??

I don't know I'm not done talking about it. It's insane that I can't just uninstall Edge or Copilot. That websites require my phone number to sign up. That people share their contacts to find their friends on social media.

I wouldn't use an adblocker if ads were just banners on the side funding a website I enjoy using and want to support. Ads pop up invasively and fill my whole screen, I misclick and get warped away to another page just for trying to read an article or get a recipe.

Every app shouldn't be like every other app. Instagram didn't need reels and a shop. TikTok doesn't need a store. Instagram doesn't need to be connected to Facebook. I don't want my apps to do everything, I want a hub for a specific thing, and I'll go to that place accordingly.

I love discord, but so much information gets lost to it. I don't want to join to view things. I want to lurk on forums. I want to be a user who can log in and join a conversation by replying to a thread, even if that conversation was two days ago. I know discord has threads, it's not the same. I don't want to have to verify my account with a phone number. I understand safety and digital concerns, but I'm concerned about information like that with leaks everywhere, even with password managers.

I shouldn't have to pay subscriptions to use services and get locked out of old versions. My old disk copy of photoshop should work. I should want to upgrade eventually because I like photoshop and supporting the business. Adobe is a whole other can of worms here.

Streaming is so splintered across everything. Shows release so fast. Things don't get physical releases. I can't stream a movie I own digitally to friends because the share-screen blocks it, even though I own two digital copies, even though I own a physical copy.

I have an iPod, and I had to install a third party OS to easily put my music on it without having to tangle with iTunes. Spotify bricked hardware I purchased because they were unwillingly to upkeep it. They don't pay their artists. iTunes isn't even iTunes anymore and Apple struggles to upkeep it.

My TV shows me ads on the home screen. My dad lost access to eBook he purchased because they were digital and got revoked by the company distributing them. Hitman 1-3 only runs online most of the time. Flash died and is staying alive because people love it and made efforts to keep it up.

I have to click "not now" and can't click "no". I don't just get emails, they want to text me to purchase things online too. My windows start search bar searches online, not just my computer. Everything is blindly called an app now. Everything wants me to upload to the cloud. These are good tools! But why am I forced to use them! Why am I not allowed to own or control them?

No more!!!!! I love my iPod with so much storage and FLAC files. I love having all my fics on my harddrive. I love having USBs and backups. I love running scripts to gut suck stuff out of my Windows computer I don't want that spies on me. I love having forums. I love sending letters. I love neocities and webpages and webrings. I will not be scanning QR codes. Please hand me a physical menu. If I didn't need a smartphone for work I'd get a "dumb" phone so fast. I want things to have buttons. I want to use a mouse. I want replaceable batteries. I want the right to repair. I grew up online and I won't forget how it was!

writing advice for characters with a missing eye: dear God does losing an eyes function fuck up your neck. Ever since mine crapped out I've been slowly and unconsciously shifting towards holding my head at an angle to put the good eye closer to the center. and human necks. are not meant to accommodate that sorta thing.

slow down for your disabled friends. thats like a bare minimum kindness that we shouldnt have to ask for. i love that youre so quirky and walking fast is a cool personality trait to you and all that but i bet you can count your physically disabled friends on less than one hand
