obviously these things depend on luck, what groups you are considering when answering, the size of the group, and how many people are in your bias line. i was thinking about how for some groups i love, i almost always pull my biases, and in other groups, it rarely happens…. curious to know what it’s like for other people!

It was a beautiful morning. Somehow, against all odds, the sun was shining through the thick smog perpetually covering Gotham.

And Danny hated it.

He was in pain, he was exhausted, he was grieving, and all he wanted to do was sleep for at least a week.

In an act of celestial mockery, the sun shone regardless.

After around twenty minutes of tossing and turning in bed, trying to get back to sleep, Danny gave up and pried himself out of bed.

He stumbled through the hallway and into the living room, staring openly at every splash of color he saw in the small apartment. He hadn’t forgotten what color looked like in the time he was in the lab, but it was comforting to see.

Someone cleared their throat. Danny whipped his head around, eyes falling on a scrawny, gangly man sitting down in a worn armchair, hunched over a laptop. He was looking at him with a dull, bored expression.

Right. Scarecrow.

His escape.

The chase.

His mom.

“You look a lot less terrifying without the mask,” Danny blurted out, slapping his hand over his mouth. “I didn’t mean that.”

“Well, I certainly wouldn’t call my normal appearance frightening,” Scarecrow hummed, focusing his attention back onto the laptop, “that’s what the costume is for, after all.”

“Oh.”

After a brief moment of excruciating silence, Scarecrow spoke.

“You any good with computers, Danny? Hacking, and all that?”

Danny jolted. Scarecrow needed his help with something! This was great! Now, he’d have more of a reason not to get rid of him!

“Oh, uh, yeah! Not as good as my friend Tucker, but I think I’m pretty good.”

“And you’re familiar with the GiW’s systems specifically,” Scarecrow continued, beckoning him over. Danny complied, shuffling over awkwardly. “Right?”

“Well, I guess? My friends and I got into their stuff a couple of times before they…”

“Wonderful,” Scarecrow said, standing up with a stretch. He shoved the laptop into Danny’s hands and gestured for him to sit down on the couch. “Then you can hack into their system and extract whatever files you can find.”

Danny stared at the man like he’d lost his mind. He looked back at him expectantly.

Danny sat down.

“Yeah, I-I can do that. Tuck and I built a back door into their system ages ago,” he said, checking the screen. It was clear that for all the skills that Scarecrow had, hacking was definitely not one of them. “But, uh, don’t you have someone else that usually does this sort of thing for you? Not that I’m complaining!”

Scarecrow scowled, and Danny felt his heart fall into his ass.

“Usually, I do,” Scarecrow huffed, “but I chose to leave my most recent job with the Penguin early, so now there’s no way that he or Eddie will help me with anything until I make it up to them somehow.”

“Oh,” Danny said.

He had no clue whatsoever who Eddie was.

Danny got to work quickly, hoping that if he ignored the gangly man, he would leave him be. Luckily, he did just that, leaving to go work on something in another room.

Danny checked the laptop’s security before continuing Scarecrow’s progress, making sure that the GiW wouldn’t be able to grab their location.

It was…threateningly good. Whoever Eddie was, he had somehow crammed the functionality of a top-of-the-line PC into a tiny, beat-up old laptop. It almost reminded Danny of Tucker and his terrifying competence with his PDA.

Tucker.

Amity park.

Home.

Danny snapped himself out of his thoughts, tabbing back into the application Scarecrow had up and began to work his magic.

He had near full access to the entire GiW database within half an hour.

Mumbling out a quick thank-you to Tucker, he called Scarecrow over to appraise his work.

“Fixed up some food for you while you worked,” the rogue said, handing him a bowl of oatmeal, taking the laptop into his lap as he did so, “didn’t know how well you could eat, considering you’re recovering from… surgery, so I decided to stay on the safe side.”

Danny had no clue what this guy’s deal was.

He definitely did not tear up at the first genuine thoughtfulness he encountered in weeks, and he did not look away as he ate so that Scarecrow couldn’t see his face.

At least Scarecrow was too focused on the laptop to notice or care.

Or, maybe, he was just mercifully ignoring him.

Either way, Danny ate slowly, not wanting to make himself sick. He allowed himself to absentmindedly look around the room for the first time, taking everything in.

It was strangely homey. The space was filled with warm browns and yellows, a few splashes of color on the wall in the form of (obviously gifted) paintings. There was a beat-up bookshelf against the wall, clearly second-hand, filled to the brim with psychology books. On every available surface there was a different colored candle, all at different stages of use, clearly collected over the course of years.

Danny knew that the man next to him was a crazed, murderous criminal, but his home was oddly reminiscent of Jazz.

He was not about to cry.

“Danny,” Scarecrow hummed, snapping him out of his spiraling, “can you explain this to me?”

He looked over. The rogue was pointing to a new report, seemingly posted only a few hours ago.

Nodding, he took the computer into his lap, pouring over the contents.

He read the report again.

And again.

And again.

Danny swore loudly, crumpling like a wet paper bag, head in his hands.

“What?”

“It’s…” he swore again, glancing back at the laptop, “they…since you became liminal from synthetic ectoplasm, when we’re within about 500 meters of one another, our ectoplasm signatures resonate, and they can’t track us with any of their technology.”

“How is that a bad thing?”

“If we’re not that close to each other, they can track us down from anywhere in the world.”

Scarecrow went dead quiet. After what felt like the single longest minute of Danny’s life, he let out a truly exasperated sigh, slumping over in his seat.

“Yeah, me too,” Danny mumbled, utterly miserable.

“…I’ll have to move my plans back a little,” Scarecrow sighed, “I can’t drag an injured child with me when I attack the Gotham GiW base, you’ll just get in the way.”

“Oh come on,” Danny whined, “I can take care of myself just fine. Besides, Batman brings kids with him to do dangerous stuff all the time, and he’s fine!”

“Might I remind you that the second Robin died violently,” Scarecrow snapped, “and that Batman most likely has more traumatic brain injuries than all of the Gotham rogues combined. That really isn’t the winning argument you think it is.”

Danny paused, trying to think up some way to win the argument. Then, he realized what he had ignored before.

“Wait, Scarecrow, you’re gonna attack the GiW?”

“That’s the plan,” he nodded, “and call me Dr. Crane. I’m only Scarecrow when I’m in the mask.”

But,” Danny sputtered, “Sca—uh, Dr. Crane—that’s insane! The weapons they’ve got- they’ll rip you apart!”

“Not my first time,” Crane said, making Danny wince. “Besides, I have plenty of experience avoiding gunfire. I’ll live.”

“You…” Danny was silent for a while, trying to think of something to say, “fine, but you have to take me with you wherever you go. As soon as they see either of us on their radars, they’ll hunt us down.”

Dr. Crane sighed.

“…Fine. I need some time to plan anyways. Now, you’re going to help me download these files, properly format them, and send them out.”

“…Why?”

“Well, some of the other rogues might appreciate the heads up, and I’d quite like them to be indebted to me. Besides, I still need to pay back the Penguin for ditching him, and he loves knowing things that other people don’t.”

Danny paused.

“That’s an awful idea, no offense. If any of the rogues know our weaknesses, they—”

“Danny, we’re censoring everything. The only things they need to know about are the GiW specifically, and any sort of laws surrounding them.”

Danny snorted.

“You care about laws now?”

“Yes, because if we get taken to Arkham, they’ll hand us off to the GiW the moment they ask, and it’ll be completely legal.”

Oh. Danny had honestly forgotten that Arkham was an option.

“…Ok. I’ll help you. Who are we telling?”

“I don’t think you really need to know,” Dr. Crane said, the faintest shadow of an amused look on his face, “but I’ll humor you for now. We’re sending the files out to the Penguin, Riddler, Poison Ivy via Harley Quinn, Two-Face, and Red Hood.”

Danny nodded. He could live with that.

“Alright, then let’s get to work.”

Something my additional needs lecturer in college said last year has been bugging me for MONTHS. Anyway:

[suranamellblackwood]

seeing people complain about how rook (or a specifically shadow dragon rook) can't romance lucanis if they chose to save minrathous but he'll still fall for neve, who will ditch the party to go save minrathous. it just feels like the petty complaints over Isabela/fenris all over again. this game will not shut up about how you are the leader of the veilguard and leaders sometimes have to make difficult decisions people will resent you for. neve is not the leader! neve is not making the final decision as to who rook is showing up to help. it would not make sense, given the scenario the game presents, for lucanis to hold her as equally accountable for that decision as rook, the leader of the veilguard.

...i do totally get complaining about the scenario the game presents, though. it is a little silly that rook specifically showing up with two other people makes THAT much of a difference in the dragon sieges, especially because supposedly the rest of the veilguard goes to help whatever city rook doesn't. you don't even use the dagger for anything beyond waving it around tauntingly

EDIT: apparently waving it around tauntingly is actually what made a difference here. so never mind, neve and lucanis are in fact both correct beyond just being game-logic correct

would we be able to request a npc flag? we have a lot of npcs that are *technically* part of our system but we'd like a flag to include them too

The format is based off the Now-PC(link) flag, with I have also remade in this post!

NPC, Now-PC, & NPC-flux

[PT: NPC, Now-PC, & NPC-flux]

NPC, (short for non-playable character) are constructs that are found in a system's headspace but are not part of the system itself or are notable distinct from other headmates in their autonomy, sentience, elaboration, or interaction. NPCs may serve to make the headspace feel more realistic, or fill in roles from a headmate's inner world history, e.g. a co-worker or family member.

Now-PC, A now-pc is a previously-NPC that is now a person in the system (someone who had previously been filler in a system, and now is an actual sentient person in system).

NPC-flux, may refer to a now-PC who will occasionally speak a repeated phrase or do an action that is triggered by a command of some sort. It could be a phrase or action they did when they were an NPC.

I have not finished the latest WBN episode but it is darkly funny to me that in the CR fandom there's a lot of ongoing discussion of "is it understandable that one might strike down the imperial wizard city for explicitly trying to kill all the gods" and in my (rather more limited) experience of the WBN fandom, people have been gunning for the destruction of the imperial wizard city for, among other things, possibly trying to bind the (effectively) gods to service since day one.

River Otter

So to try and explain this term , it stems from intersex otter by starfishfutch , loosely however , as for us we heavily fit into the otter term but due to being intersex find ourselves disconnected from the term in its basic essence , hence River Otter.

The easiest way to explain this is simply those who are Intersex with the traditional 'otter' traits but finds themselves disconnected from the term due to being intersex.

The flag itself has inspitation from the Otter flag , the Intersex Otter flag and the Sea Otter [by rabidbatboy] , however if either creator finds the flag feels too close to theirs we ask they reach out to us so we can remove this post and find a way to fix it ^^

Without more tangents , the flags themselves , we do ask that only intersex individuals use the flags [can't stop anyone from making a similar term however we are explicitly making these with intersex people in mind.]

We ended up with 3 different styles , one with the paw , one with the circle and paw and one with soley the circle

Ignore weirdness , posting from mobile is current disagreeing

something has possessed me i think bc why am i in the year 2024 thinking about merlin/gwaine but also merlin/lancelot but also gwaine/merlin/lancelot. what have i done to deserve this

[playerkingsley]

thinking about that small moment between deanna and ashton (ashford) amidst all the chaos, the glimpse of recognition opposite the aeormaton they stumbled upon and cared for (in their own ways). how aabria mentioned she crafted different aspects of deanna to connect to each of bell’s hells: for ashton, coming back from death and finding a world slightly askew, rediscovering their place in it, and what remains of the frayed threads connecting them to it. to grappling with their relationship to power and “pay attention to who you want to be”

[spiderqueenpc]

the thing that impresses me most about UTY is that the writing challenge the devs had to contend with was ABSURDLY difficult and yet they somehow pulled it off. how do you maintain Undertale's overall tone and let the protagonist "win" when the space you're writing in forbids you from leaving the middle of this venn diagram?

it feels impossible but they just did it anyway. hats off to them.
