Please note that I'm talking specifically about saying you write fanfic, not the vague, "Oh, I write. Stuff. Ahem."

New In Town (dp x dc)

ALRIGHT! 👏🏽 A prompt. (Or, well. A premise.) I’m schtealing a lot of worldbuilding from @mediumsizedpidegon‘s post here so bear with me please.

The Bats, however they catch wind of Amity, catch wind of Amity Park. Of course they do. Amity Park has a very distinct presence— Or, well, a lack of a presence. It may have an abundance of documented weirdness online, from folk stories to abandoned livestreams to concerning details in expats’ online blogs.

But there is no online evidence of Amity Park that leaves Amity Park.

So. What is a family of detectives to do when confronted with the need to gather physical evidence? Road Trip, baby!🏄🏽‍♂️🚗🚞🚡

Everyone hops in the car/Batplane and makes their way to Amity Park; they make hotel reservations, ring up the only reasonably rich enough people to even touch their social circle (the Manson family, and Vlad Masters, apparently), make an itinerary for all the documented tourist stops to hit up while in town off the town website, and prepare themselves for whatever dimensional weirdness is causing a complete tech blackout on the town and an inability to be found by satellite.

They get about ten feet into Amity proper when they meet the first local.

His name is Danny. He’s nice! Affable. He looks a lot like any other Wayne sibling, actually, if a little on the younger side. He notices it’s their first time in town. Do they need any help getting around?

Best way to get information is to ingratiate with a local, so...sure, why not? They get a free tour guide, Danny gets to show off his town; they see all the sights, like the local burger joint, the school, the Manson home, the town hall, the city proper. They’re having a clothing swap in the temple parking lot, actually. You should go check it out!

For whatever reason, it’s all...Punk? Goth? There’s a couple of lolita dressed tossed in, and some crocheted things. Everyone has a trunk out their car, eyeliner, and at least two piercings in their face; everyone here seems to know each other on a personal level. Well, small towns are small towns. Whatever.

Danny isn’t deterred by their reactions. If they want, there’s the movie in park tonight! If not, they can catch dinner, though; their hotel restaurant closes at 8pm sharp. (He just...knows this off the top of his head?)

They split up. Some of the family people watch at the restaurant. Everyone is...weirdly courteous to them. A little standoffish. But not at the Wayne name, just at...them being there.

The people at the park find out they’re watching The Night of the Living Dead. This would be much more normal if the park wasn’t also clearly the cemetery, in the middle of July? Which is. Why? It’s not even for any holiday or special time of the year? It’s just...clearly a movie night in the summer? There are little kids here, playing among the gravestones while their parents set out blankets and snacks. Why is this considered a family event??

Well. At least Jason has fun.

Everyone goes to bed and reconvenes in the morning. When they wake up and roll out for the day, Danny manages to find them again, this time with two new friends, bright and chipper in the morning. There’s a farmer’s market today! Everyone’s worked really hard on this week’s harvest; don’t they want to see?

...Sure?

And the longer they’re in Amity Park, the more they begin to realize how convenient it is, that they’re ferried around so easily; that there’s immediately a local who takes a liking to them, that there’s always something else to do; how suspicious it is that no data can get in or out of Amity now that they’re in it, or how they can’t seem to get close to any of the more suspicious parts of town they want to infiltrate. The town is entirely closed to outside influences. The fashion trends are strange and foreign. They only eat things grown in the area, by people they know, and it’s all sort of...green. Everyone knows everyone. Everyone knows where to go. Who to talk to. The superstitions— make no wishes, step on no cracks, wear no large jewelry, cross no shadows of any person (living or dead, apparently), speak to no one without full view of their eyes. 

But nothing seems dangerous— not until a few of them try to investigate Axiom Labs, a subsidiary of the otherwise national Dalvco company, and are met to the face with a blaster that uses tech they’ve never seen, by a red fighter in an ultra-synthetic suit.

Overnight, the extremely polite and welcoming town becomes a hostile entity to fight their way out of.

So often, twink death is framed as a bad thing. However, the "twink death" for trans men* is frankly one of the most healing things you will bear witness to (pun intended).

I love that Felix is ​​starting to open up and be sincere with those he trusts 100%. And unlike Amelie and Kagami, Adrien is not included in this list. Felix was never sincere and open to him, he never shared his feelings with him. Adrien, living with him throughout his entire childhood, was never even aware that Felix had an abusive father. Meanwhile, Kagami finds out about this from their first meeting.

what do you think about nedpan🇳🇱🇯🇵

I haven't really gotten deep into it, but from what I've seen going around I really like it! I think they are a good pairing with a lot of potential regarding the combination of their personalities, and it's no secret that I have a weakness from anything based on historical events 😅✨

I admire your optimism about this arc even though I do not understand it

quackity has said on multiple occasions that they're not just going to kill off the eggs, for one, and for two again i think it's just as stupid to be unreasonably pessimistic as it is to want everything you want to happen to occur.

if i was truly optimistic i would argue this whole thing is a facade and actually there's a bunch of hidden puzzles on these islands and a ton of investigating to do and everyone will make a commune and survive together and figure out what's going on and also spiderbit will make out with blood in their mouths. that last one is actually pretty realistic but you get my point.

i understand that this event really is not for me, but i also understand what is actually reasonable to expect from qsmp admins, and killing off the eggs, which they've promised they would not do in this manner, is not realistic either.

and i think angst for angst's sake is boring and narratively unsatisfying. so they're not going to do that.

I love receiving a passive-aggressive text message every time I use the only kitchen on this earth I have physical access to. I love having the options of 'put herculean effort into appearing not to exist' or 'be scolded daily for eating'

Don't know why but the cocky attitude works for Grey Morrison in The Ghost of Us but is annoying on Cai in Along Came Treble.

I got inspired by this popular audio:

and wrote a tiny snippet of dialogue for my hc359 au! Thought it would be fun to twist this audio... well, you'll see...

Part 1 of the au, Part 2 (briefly), Part 3 (I need to make a masterpost, don't I?)

TW: death threats, manipulation

Grian is alone, in the communications room, tidying up radar scans because Scar refuses to do his job- says he's had enough of working for no reason.

It is then that the high-priority long distance communicator starts buzzing. Loud and clear and annoying. There are only two reasons it might go off: a distress call from a nearby ship (of which there are none) or a call from command, all the way back on earth.

Grian freezes, for only a second, before answering the call.

"H-hello?" "Hermetheus, hello. This is mission command." "I know- I mean, what-" "How are you all, up there?" "Wh- we're- um... could be better, sir." "Just so you're aware, we're lacing this call with high frequency interceptions. Your AI won't be able to hear more than radio static." "I- our AI-" "And if anything we discuss leaves this room, we will kill you. Understood?" "Yes." "..." "Y- yes, sir." "Good! We see you're on course, still. Great, keep it up." "Permission to speak freely, sir." "Denied." "..." "This will probably be our last chat, Hermetheus." "... right." "... do you blame yourself?" "What?" "Well, it's quite common for a mission lead in this situation to feel a kind of... guilt." "Wh- what situation?" "A termination." "..." "It's very common for people to invent blame or create a causality, when in reality... it was completely out of your control." "I- but-" "It was bound to happen, Grian. Putting the four of you on a ship, putting you in charge? We knew you were destined for failure one way or another." "That's not fair." "Oh?" "You left us to die. I hate you. You never- you told me it would be safe and you lied." "I'd watch my tone, if I were you." "..." "Now, let's discuss the next steps for this mission..."

why do so many people seem to love ✈️? i know it’s a reality show, but i still think how she treated amanda on the show was immature and needlessly mean. maybe i just don’t get it

some people genuinely enjoy bitchy queens for the drama. personally i don’t mind a villain but her behavior for the first half of the season was so unbearably off-putting. it was giving bully. im still salty amanda never got an apology but they seem to be on good terms

i think once sapphira knocked some sense into her, she got better enough to tolerate. and with the show ending and the fanon version of her replacing the canon one, i can embrace her lol.
