Family of Distinguished People.
So like what if, the Fenton family is just a family full of heroes, villains, and vigilantes. like.. just imagine a long line of people that had or has contributed to the world somehow. Like the Fenton parents as Supervillains, Jazz as a Vigilante, Danny as Hero. Dani just decides to travel not too interested, but does help with her family if needed, Dan does the same thing.
BUT WHAT IF joker is actually a close relative of the Fenton Family (ex. Uncle, Cousin,Family Friend) and like he's just there all happy with his (found)family during family reunions, birthdays and shit.
And the batfam are just like so confused and stressed to why the joker goes missing once a month.
While Joker is literally having a game of Monopoly with the elementary kids at amity park (the kids couldn't bother, they've saw scarier things they handled scarier things) cue Joker giving the kids a hundred dollars because he lost.
This is just one of my what if prompts, that i got locked up in a vault. Might delete this later who knows.
#dc x dp#dp x dc#dp x dc crossover#dpxdc#dc x dp crossover#dp x dc fanfic#dp x dc prompt#dpdc#Joker and Jack certainly does the dramatic airport scene#where very close friends meet each other again after so many years and run up to each other and hug while bawling their eyes out#yeah thats them add them falling dramatically to the ground still in each other's arms#Joker presents the kids with a PowerPoint presentation to why villainy is the way to go and better wages#he almost convinced them#Maddie helps Joker create a new toxin#they bond over that very sadistically its overwhelming#this was made at the crack of dawn#Literally#Oh btw they did the airport scene in slowmo#With the dramatic orchestra background music#Joker is screaming and crying for the lost 500 dollars

I think part of the reason why some show-only people have such bad faith takes of Armand is because they're under the impression that he is literally the oldest vampire in existence. Like I've seen multiple posts calling him "the oldest vampire." And I know he's the oldest vampire we've met in the show yet, but I need you guys to know that
A) Armand is old but not insanely old for a vampire. He doesn't count as an "ancient" and there's a whole class of vampire that's way older than him. His maker is literally four times older than him.
B) the reason he lived as long as he did is because of a chronic inability to kill himself. Hes not like an especially fearsome monster he's just been in autism decision paralysis for three hundred years.
#benni proof#blorboposting#iwtv#interview with the vampire#armand#like armand is 500 years old bc he was made 500 years ago and has managed not to die#hes not like. lvl 500 in a video game.

There's an especially funny part about Twilight freaking out over Anya's apparent stress from "being dragged out of an orphanage by a stranger"... when Anya was the one who gaslit gatekept girlbossed her way into being adopted by him.

Sun Wukong’s Point of view
Thinking about how Sun Wukong declared himself “Great Sage Equal To Heaven”. Not above heaven, equal. He wasn’t claiming to be better than the gods, just equal. He was asking to be seen as a peer and from his point of view he probably couldn’t see why that was so offensive. He was certainly as strong as the gods, (he proved that later on when he beat Li Jing, and Li Nezha) he was well versed in Taoist philosophy, and he was made from the heavens so why was he seen as less than!
In his eyes all he had done was know his worth and not know the proper etiquette due to his upbringing (He was literally raised by animals).
Imagine his hope when he was excepted as an equal. He thought he had finally proved himself, that now he would be taken seriously.
But it was all a lie. A ruse made to truck him into complacency. They didn’t see him as an equal, and they never would! he could win a fistfight with the emperor and still be seen as of lower status. So he decided to make them regret thinking Sun Wukong could be pushed aside and forgotten. he caused as much mischief as he could while also racking up immortality. That way even if they tried to get rid of him they couldn’t. This later worked against him as Bhuddha himself found a way to get rid of him without death.
I imagine him thinking over his life in his head wondering where he went wrong and sure, he would redo a few things if he could but he still didn’t understand why he wasn’t worthy of being an equal before he went of his rampage. and it would take 500 years for someone to show him why and tell him how to be better.
#They brought him to heaven in hopes of teaching him how to be a proper immortal and then proceeded to never teach him anything#Imagine how much could have been avoided if the emperor had assigned him a celestial master instead of pushing him aside#It really took hundreds of years for someone to consider him worth teaching.#Unless you count Master Subhoddi. Though he gave up on him soooooo#jttw sun wukong#sun wukong angst#jttw#jttw analysis#jttw monkey king#monkey king#literary analysis#lmk sun wukong#sun wukong lmk#lmk monkey king#Also I’m pretty sure 500 years under a mountain didn’t teach him anything#It just made him hate heaven and Buddha

It’s the daily mail so i don’t know why I’m surprised but, what is wrong with you? you’re an actual freak
#am I being overdramatic or is this just genuinely not an appropriate way to discuss someone else’s looks - even at 500 years of distance#apart from anything else#other people will have that body type today#it’s not unique to this historical figure#there’s no need to be so horrible#I mean fair enough for people to dislike him obviously#but istg if I have to suffer through another pig or toad comparison#I long for a day where some of these writers/historians find it within themselves to be respectful about these Tudor figures’ apperances#Henry and Cromwell for their weight and 'ugliness' being linked to their morality especially#(or being nasty about looks/bodies at all actually. even if there’s no moral connection being made)#would love for some of them to be in any way normal about this man#I need to post that de lisle review of MacCulloch’s biography. i keep forgetting. another example of a weird hang up#just.. through the whole thing she's clearly so angry at the suggestion he loved his wife and was upset when she died#Wolf hall#Thomas Cromwell

Gael García Bernal in Letters to Juliet (2010, dir. Gary Winick)

[other gael filmography gifsets]
#gael garcía bernal#letters to juliet#ggb filmography gifs#gael garcia bernal#ugh#gael plays the fiance she dumps two-thirds of the way into the movie#although her eventual romantic interest is supposedly english#he is played by an australian#and it's not that his accent is BAD exactly#but it's in that uncanny valley of accents where it's just slightly off#and listening to it is like nails on a blackboard#this may have prejudiced me but i found that character dull and irritating#this was a film gael did shortly after the birth of his first child#when (he's subsequently said in interviews) he felt extra pressure to work and bring in money#and separately i've seen an interview with amanda seyfried where she says she made this movie because she wanted to buy a house#so basically everyone here was in it for the paycheck#i mean it's POSSIBLE vanessa redgrave thought it was the highlight of her artistic career i suppose but somehow i doubt it#plus points: the movie doesn't suggest there's anything WRONG with gael's character#just that the two of them aren't really compatible#which they certainly aren't if she's interested in bland blond guys#actually i'd be about 500% more interested in a hypothetical movie about gael's character than i am in the actual movie#i hope his restaurant is a success#less hypothetically también la lluvia (which is coming up next) was the same year as this and is several thousand percent more interesting#can you tell i didn't like this

people conveniently like to leave out the bit where nesta tried to go after feyre in acotar when they talk about her not doing anything for the family. the fandom discourse is sooooo funny.
#and by funny i mean disgusting and hypocritical#’rhys did what he did to feyre under the mountain to survive!! so feyre could survive!!’#sorry and what part of nesta’s behavior pre being made is any different and need i remind you she was a fucking CHILD#rhys was 500 years old and assaulting a 19 year old ‘because she’s his mate and he loves her so!!!!’ be so fucking fr#no i’m never getting off my soapbox and i am once again tellin you that acotar is literally from feyre’s pov#its a one sided story we have no idea about any nuance to the sisters’ childhood we don’t know shit except what feyre tells us#shes an unreliable narrator at best!#anyway lets just acknowledge that all three archeron sisters are bitches but we can love that about them#the end case closed bye bye

A friend is trying very hard to convince me to start donating plasma (he gets a referral bonus if he signs someone up) and ngl the idea of using it to pay for less important things like books and art commissions is appealing if only for the fact that I get to say "Yeah I'm paying for this with blood money"
#Seta Speaks#My disposable income is gradually being syphoned off by the slew of wedding-related things I'm doing this year#Bachelorette parties wedding gifts travel costs.......it weighs on the bitch y'know?#I'm always money-conscious but the desire to funnel money into superfluous purchases is STRONG lately#Though-- and I did tell my friend this-- the sell on getting me to donate plasma sounds very much like getting signed up for an MLM lmao#But he did say he made $500 a month last month so idk many getting a blood-based debit card might be something in my future#Another bar for art commissions specifically-- I am a lot more private than I think people give me credit for#And I hate giving out my personal info as a result. Literally the biggest bar in not already getting a commission is because of this#I don't want you knowing my real name I don't want you knowing my email I want none of it#Unless we're very close and then MAYBE you get first name rights only but that's a BIG maybe#Musings at 9 AM I guess lmao

Final pictures of the Halloween Dream pair, a commission for @buttercupyarnart. Unfortunately, my husband decided that since we were out of color catcher sheets (used to catch bleeding dye) and instead just used salt to set the dye and prevent future bleeding, he's going to wash it anyway. The black fabric bled everywhere, and salt set it, as well as heat from the dryer. There is nothing I can do, and I am rightfully angered by his carelessness.
We use a laundromat, which is expensive even though it's the lowest cost one he could find. It's why I don't prewash fabric. When we have our own washing machine*, this won't be an issue.
Okay, now for pictures.
Closeups
The mini quilt
Closeups
He'll be getting color catcher sheets before doing laundry next week, no worries about that.
But 76 hours of work, ruined by his carelessness.
#quilt#sewing#handmade#halloween#handquilting#*i want a Speed Queen. They're used by laundromats and made to last. our washing machine died last summer. transmission fluid leaked out#and water got into the engine. less than three years use and $500. we had a repairman come see about fixing it and he explained#this is by design because he sees the same thing in both cheap and expensive models. repairs would've cost $700 and the same thing#would happen again. he suggested a Speed Queen because they will last for decades. especially in a household of 2#unfortunately they're ~$1000 USD which is money we do not have. we spend $80-$100 each month doing laundry but we#can't afford $1000 all in one go. that'll be a future ko-fi goal.

Hello, do you think is possible that we will get a FITF live album? Louis and the band sound so good on tour.
they doooo! I love Steve's arrangements and additions to the songs so much! Honestly I have no idea; on the one hand it seems like Louis might be more focused on moving towards new stuff, like we are still in FITF mode but by the time it came out he had had it forever and now he's well into LT3 and probably feeling more excited about those new songs and sounds; on the other hand he is very good at working the industry stuff and all the angles and it's basically free money, right? He has said FITF was a further step towards the sound he wants most rather than the finish line, so it's possible that as happened with Walls as he works more on the new one he is getting less enthused about sharing the old stuff; but I think adding Steve's arrangements and just moving away from some of the songs seems to have lessened that this time around, so maybe that isn't a factor. Here's the thing though: the only way it would happen or make sense I think would be if it was recorded pretty recently, like one of the UK shows; the show was still being tweaked and gelled and cooking until then. But if they wanted to make vinyl (and surely they would? fancy double vinyl of live albums is SUCH a thing), that is very very long process of waiting around these days. First you have to get lacquers made (this is the physical thing that the recording is cut into that all the records are duplicates of- if you want quality it has to be more or less handmade by an artisan) but one of the two places left in the world that made those burnt to the ground in 2020 so there's a super long wait time on that. Then it just has to get made; but there are basically ten large scale factories left (again, in the WORLD) that press records so that also has a very long wait time... so it would take forever and the thing is I think we're getting LT3 in the late fall/ early winter (I bet he's using this month to finish it up so it can begin this lengthy process). So I kind of don't think so, like I guess they could do a CD/ cassette/ digital only in late spring and make so much money, and it would be fun, but who knows. Either way, I just hope Louis has Steve do some production work on LT3, I like his sounds and ideas a lot, and that he keeps him around to do his tours forever!
#could I have just said it takes a while to make records I GUESS#but maybe people are interested!#IN MY DAY *totters up on a creaky walker* you could just be like I wanna make a record of my band#and send off $500 and a mastered recording and 6 weeks later get a couple boxes of 7's in the mail#SIGHHHH#this planning a year in advance is such a bummer I bet Louis would much rather get to write the songs and share them#and by a year later be onto whole new ones#it's no wonder he doesn't remember the lyrics by the time it's time to tour them he's ages past those ones#fitf live#vinyl pressing#steve durham#is the drummer but also the tour musical director#I've always had an embarrassing thing for drummers and I genuinely do not have a thing for steve because I am past that tyvm#but every time I rave about him I do side eye myself like is this correct or are you just in drummer groupie mode#anyway he looks just like- I kid you not- a drummer I have uh#what#had a Thing With let us say#once upon a time#but honestly I really do just like his arrangements musically I think he seems kind of annoying personally#and that tattoo artist was his friend and that guy seemed like a DOUCHE which made me even more skeptical#anyway enjoy the personal TMI corner GOTTA GO BYE

1) Opens up drafts with my head empty, ready to be flooded, not knowing where I'll go. 2) 30 seconds later: Okay but I will go feral any day of my life over Perilous Trail, and the fierce dichotomy of Xiao and Yelan. While they're far from being 'the same', they both view themselves as soldiers in one way or another (it's a very difficult word to use for Yelan, so I'm using it very liberally and very loosely), they have both suffered losses on the 'battlefield' and carry the burden thereof in their own ways. And yet they stand so firmly in opposition throughout the entirety of that questline up until the very end of the 'the end of the line' conclusion of the quest. Yes, I know that she offers him her gratitude in its aftermath and it is genuine, but she still never agrees with him and the decision that he made moments earlier. It simply 'worked out' because of Zhongli's interference, he's the only reason it worked out. And it's because of that, that she doesn't give him a hell of a hard time (obviously she can't go down there, but imagine the inner frustration of severe extents; when you condemn someone who you can't even see anymore). In the same way that she would do to anyone who would sacrifice themselves for others, but in this case, I think it's 'beautiful' that it's to Xiao; the one who seems most adamant to do so (which honestly, fits into the contract that the Yakshas chose to sign with Morax; 'the ultimate sacrifice' to protect for Liyue; 'for Liyue', and Liyue has always centered itself around its people), the one who everyone reveres (and so does she, as she notes in her voiceline, 'if I ever have the honor to fight alongside') and respects for good reason, she stands against him, because in that moment, regardless of his status, he makes a call that she considers wrong. And he doesn't even... fight her on it very fiercely, and that's what actually hurts me the most, it's as if the following line hit the nail directly on the head?
"Besides, if you were really so determined to end it all, you wouldn't have given us the opportunity to share our opinions."
#[ mini study. ] that which hides inside her… that constant calling; it is the blood of heroes which has been howling for 500 years.#[ and then shortly after 'the point is: it's not time for drastic measures yet.' ]#[ /shakes ven into another dimension. ]#[ i thought the ost at the end of perilous ruined me enough. but tale of the yakshas may actually ruin me more. ]#[ also i love how i typed up the bit of the contract and 'for liyue' and zhongli in my head isn't rattling at bars but-- ]#[ he's sipping his tea (the equivalent). one day ven. i /promise/ you. one day you'll get him from me. ]#[ he'll likely be the 2nd genshin blog to run alongside yelan if/when i get to being able to run two again. ]#[ but until then. can we talk about the dynamic of xiao and yelan until we're blue in the face? i'd like to do that too. ]#[ i type this as if i'm perfectly chill but i'm not. i'm really not. the concept of self sacrifice and sacrifice as a whole. ]#[ BETWEEN THESE TWO. drives me /insane/. and part of me sits here and goes-- ]#[ god. what happened with yelan and her team down there? we know that despite every plan she ever made and prepared-- ]#[ their enemies (WHAT WERE YOU FIGHTING??) were too powerful and more specifically-- too smart. too calculating. ]#[ ... and too strong (okay literally what on earth were you fighting? are we talking the khaenri'ah soldiers? like what? or abyss mages?) ]#[ (but abyss mages don't exactly entirely fit the description in her story. ugh. UGH). ]#[ any way-- it was her and her team. /they/ all died and she didn't. yanfei describes it as... ]#[ 'knowing that your life was saved when others weren't'. surely the millilith didn't intervene or happen to arrive. yelan must've... ]#[ gotten away? or something? but that doesn't feel quite right. but i'm just sitting here left with the idea of... when you lead a team. ]#[ you bear the responsibility of even their lives. and yet despite bearing that responsibility; she's exactly the one who lived. ]#[ the only one who did. that has to be a /stupid/ burden. it's like the captain who has to go down with the ship but is the only one... ]#[ who gets to live. only one who gets to survive. i just. ]#[ i didn't think i'd love a character as much as this one. where did she come from; jesus christ. ]

book 5 of the year done!!!! im literally one book away from halfway to my goal and the first month of the year isn't even over yet fjsksk i am DEFINITELY going to hit it this year!
#SUUUUPER bummed to say tho that ive made it to the first book of the year i havent enjoyed :/#the worst part is — its the first in a series apparently and like. i WANT to know what happens next#but also i dont CARE enough to want to keep reading the rest of the series yknow?#like. this first book was just SOOOO disjointed#it was ALL exposition#it spent 500 pages giving individual backstories for each of the characters. as in each character l i t e r a l l y told their story#which first of all absolutely BORING way to get to know your characters and second of all NONE od these characters were even likeable!!!#and the worldbuilding was just. weird. it kind of didnt make sense and felt all over the place#and FULLY felt like he was just throwing random sci-fi-y words around to make it sound cooler but like. it wasnt.#and like all these characters are together on this pilgrimage right#but it is NEVER really revealed why/what they plan to do when they get to their end destination/anything like that#and im between each of these character backstories it feels like the same stuff one person is like oh wow what a story lets get some sleep#and then they do and they wake up and they do the tiniest bit of traveling#(which is like. described in the most lackluster barebones way) and then they eat and share another story and rinse and repeat#it was SO boring#it honestly reminded me of the movie the eternals LMAO#all these characters and you get to know a little about them but not enoguh to become invested and none of them are all that interesting#and the purpose of their journey/the purpose of THEM is completely unknown is completely devoid#like it felt like there was no plot#it was. ough not good.#so yeah would NOT recommend hyperion by dan simmons :/#mack reads
