Soā€¦ I had a random thought today while looking at some fanart.
In comics, itā€™s generally agreed that Jason Todd died on April 27. He came back to life approximately 6 months later. That would put it in late October.
We can make an argument he was resurrected on Halloween. You know, the day that the veil between life and death is the thinnest per folklore?
Iā€™ll just leave you guys with that thought

Okay but Tommy drops out of high school ā€” he told his father he was gay and he told him he could either be homeless or go to military school. He goes to military school and joins the army and he likes flying the helicopters because it means he doesnā€™t have to do any of the killing himself. And he makes some friends.
There's one guy who's like the squad leader who's a few years old and built like a Greek god and Tommy's young and a little bit in love. And they're friends maybe even family because this whole group of people spend every waking (and sleeping) moment together. And they all talk like a family and they all say they love each other and tease each other and it's nice. And one night it's just the two of them trading a flask of some sort of alcohol that Tommy doesn't know the name of and the man asks Tommy why he joined the army and where he wants to be in five years and Tommy trusts this man. He's half way in love with him so he doesn't even think twice before he tells the story about the time he came out to his family and his father nearly beat him to death before sending him here. And the conversation tapers off after that and he doesnā€™t register the change in the air but when he wakes up the next morning heā€™s being dishonourably discharged because he poses ā€œunacceptable risk to the high standards of morale, good order and discipline, and unit cohesion that are the essence of military capabilityā€. He knows what that means.
Tommy joins the fire department because he doesnā€™t know what else to do. He represses anything regarding his sexuality because he knows now that itā€™s wrong. He almost feels like he has a family again because his captain seems to like him and some of the guys are cool even if they say things he doesnā€™t agree with. And then he starts agreeing because maybe theyā€™re right and heā€™s wrong and heā€™s just inherently wrong. So he follows their leads and is just straight racist because thatā€™s how he can fit in.
And then a black lesbian woman joins and says sheā€™s a black lesbian woman and Tommy doesnā€™t understand that either because you canā€™t be queer you just canā€™t be because itā€™s wrong.
But he nearly dies and and an Asian man saves his life and a black lesbian woman comes up with a better idea than any of them had and she tells them sheā€™s no different and she is just as capable. So he improves himself he does and he tries to be better but he still canā€™t be who he is because the last 2 times he was honest about that he was betrayed.
Tommy leaves the 118 and ā€œdonā€™t ask, donā€™t tellā€ is lifted and he meets this guy he likes who likes him back and the 217 donā€™t seem to have a problem with the gender neutral pronouns and he slowly but surely lets himself open up again and be who he is and when the thing with that guy doesnā€™t work out because heā€™s moving to New York and Tommyā€™s not sure heā€™s ready to leave, itā€™s okay because his crew is there and they support him and he can still be himself.
#years later he flies a helicopter into a hurricane for the same people who stopped him from going too deep#into something he didnā€™t even believe in#and thereā€™s this guy with a birthmark above his left eye and the widest smile there is#and heā€™s saying absolute nonsense and Tommy canā€™t help but smile#and thereā€™s this other man too also gorgeous but not his type#who has all the same interests as him and he thinks if anything heā€™s made a new friend#and then the cute dorky guy calls the next day stumbling over his words saying his name is evan - from the rescue mission#and he asks for a tour of the 217 and Tommy agrees because how could he say no#and then heā€™s asking to go out but he already has plans but rain check? because thereā€™s something about this guy that maybeā€¦#and Tommy thinks thatā€™s it but then evan turns up everywhere#and then things get a bit funny and Tommy feels like itā€™s his fault and he has to apologise#so he goes to Evanā€™s house not expecting anything just to say sorry#and Evans there looking absolutely amazing as always and heā€™s saying things that Tommy canā€™t help but read into#and heā€™s getting closer and closer and Tommy canā€™t help it#he kisses him and keeps his eyes shut just a moment longer just in case#he doesnā€™t want to open his eyes and see a disgusted look across Evanā€™s face so he stays closed just a little longer#but evan just looks like his brain has restarted and heā€™s nodding and joking when Tommy asks if that was okay#and theyā€™re going on a date#and it hurts when evan says those worlds because tommy has spent long enough in a closet being someone heā€™s not and hurting people#and he canā€™t go back there he just canā€™t and he doesnā€™t want to be the one to force evan into anything so he leaves#and then he gets a call a stuttered invitation to meet at a cafe and of course Tommy says yes#he doesnā€™t know what he expects but itā€™s not this#Evans beaming at him with the brightest smile asking him to be his date to his sisters wedding#how can he say no when he looks like that (as long as he never buys coffee again)#and evan holds his hand even though everyone is around and ok thatā€™s good#heā€™s late to the wedding and practically dead on his feet but he said heā€™d be there so he comes and the moment evan sees him#hes kissing him and heā€™s ok thatā€™s great he could get used to this#bucktommy#911 abc#tommy kinard

if escape rooms as team building exercises became popular im not sure if id be more excited or terrified
#if it isnt already anyway.. i can see it happening as a school frosh thing. idk if it would catch on as a workplace thing#i kind of find the concept of being locked in with strangers and working to find a way out weirdly exhilarating though#at least compared to icebreakers cause i dont have to spend 10 minutes racking my brain for something to blurt out abt myself#as a bonus u could like. put people into groups and give prizes to whoever escapes first second third etc. apparently they also do themed#escape rooms.. maybe let people pick a theme? or voluntary sign up? actually this would be really fun for smth like a blind friend date#although if i found out i was locked in a room with an online friend id be too excited to actually escape LOL#ive never done an escape room before so sadly i cant speak from experience. its like up there on things i want to try next to rug tufting#workshop and visiting new art exhibits or conventions. i seriously need to get out more if it wasnt for the horrors <- school and anxiety#i was planning to invite cass to a drop-in art workshop in town but neither of us could go bc typography is making us go thru hell and back#AND THEY HAD A BUTTON MACHINE TOO#im nostalgic bc i miss working in groups and not being awkward abt it or worrying abt schedule conflicts#i realized that i learn best in groups and its a little corny but i like sharing ideas and talking through a problem#in elementary i could just sit down with friends for review and come out of it energized *and* more familiar with the material#and i could technically still do it now. but as adults we're more picky abt who we work with on top of being way more busy outside school#maybe im lonely. im shy and grew up not talking to ppl unless i absolutely have to so its hard to make friends on my own i guess#only thing getting me thru it is telling myself that humans like helping and that my cringe is overblown in my head. but its hard#hence the escape rooms. i have been able to talk to 2(!!) people though!! mostly abt school stuff but im glad to be on friendly terms#i dont really know how to be happy these days cause im constantly scaring myself abt my portfolio and finding places to work#not being ambitious is part of not wanting to put energy into something that wont work out while also not having the passion to do literall#anything else.. i should probably talk to my counsellor ugh#yapping

If the rules are ā€œCatch them allā€ ZEX already has a leg up (Patreon)
#Doodles#SCII#Damned#DAX#ZEX#Pokemon#Stoutland#Arcanine#Tangela#Whismur#Larry#Kabu#I mean - of course right? I mentioned Stoutland as one of DAX's matches and Larry loves his Normal types - This Had to happen#And then the idea of how excitable Kabu and ZEX are and what conversations they could have about Pokemon and humans and just-#It all went downhill from there I really had no choice it just Needed to - so I did!#DAX doesn't really understand this whole Petting Large Dog business but it's not actively trying to eat him so that's a mark in its favour#Would he and Larry actually get along or would they brush up against each other wrong haha#DAX Very serious and work-oriented while Larry's just tired and quiet and wants to relax and eat and pet Pokemon#DAX is passionate in his own way but so blasĆ© about humans and other aliens!#Larry something like a cat in that he doesn't really care so goes off to do his own thing - might be too alike to get along haha#I think Kabu and ZEX would get along really well though :D ZEX tries to make friends with so many people so that's not hard haha#And he would have an awful lot of ahem Learning to offer Kabu lol - but so would Kabu in turn! Pokemon knowledge!#Fascinating conversation to be had :) Maybe if they were forced on enough double dates DAX and Larry could get along pft#I almost definitely drew ZEX too short here - maybe he's hunched a little out of excitement lol#But Dexter and Larry would be about the same height wouldn't they! :0 Huh!#It was quite fun to draw Kabu's Arcanine so happy to be getting so many pets haha <3 Cute lad ā™Ŗ#Finally following up on Alana's brilliant idea of VUX loving Tangela!! ā™„ Zarla also mentioned VUX-Tangela vine/tendril communication and ahh#So lovely such fun <3 A specific kind of trainer-Pokemon understanding that can only be had between specific cultures! Yesss#And ending out with a Whismur hug <3 I can't help it those little guys need hugs ā™„ No shrieking only gentle shushes and comfort

I know my life would be significantly improved if I found a way to start exercising regularly, but Iā€™m constantly exhausted bc it takes everything I have just to get by without collapsing and losing everything. I know my life would be improved if i was able to make myself get a reasonable amount of sleep. But I have no self control, even when I was briefly getting more sleep and feeling better I couldnā€™t stop myself from slipping back in to bad habits. My mind never stops racing, so Iā€™m constantly thinking and worrying about how my bad behaviors only keep me trapped in a somewhat miserable state. I can hardly take care of myself, I donā€™t know what I could even do to try and get better, and even if I did Iā€™d manage to find a way to make myself terrified of doing it. I donā€™t know how to be a person, I am not doing well, and I am very afraid I am going to be like this until I either finally slip up and ruin my own life or until I die, likely younger than I should because my anxiety is so bad Iā€™m in a near constant state of stress.

helppppp being disabled is so expensive fuuuck. i have like. an old insulin pump (~6 years old?) and my endocrinologist said I should get a newer model and the CGM that goes with it which runs in a loop, and that would be AMAZING for my blood sugar and keeping me a1c down butā€¦ out of pocket with the insurance I have right now (deductible not met) is $2,000 . and goddamn I do not have $2k . they have a payment plan but itā€™s like $50/mo for 4 years and I might die if I commit to that. but wouldnā€™t a new pump and cgm that work together be niceā€¦ on top of having a new service dog also??
just for the record at my current job I make $10/hr + tips and work ~25h/wk which obviously isnā€™t great and then I have to pay 525.60 to my dad for rent (cringe) and then leftover from that I have maybe $200 every two weeks to keep to myself but it doesnā€™t even keep to myself because I have a new puppy and I go to therapy and am disabled so I have doctors appointments and debts and itā€™s just like come ON man does everything have to be this expensive ???? why does my CGM sensor right now cost 37.99 a piece and my quarter yearly endo appointments cost $45 for just the appointment not including the debt I have accrued for the labs and other various testing thatā€™s like $608 right nowā€¦ ON TOP OF THE $1.4K DENTIST DEBT I HAVE ??!!?!? itā€™s over for me. fuck

#tp#prompt#au#crack#cas is an injured creature / alien / angel who is staying in Dean's shed or barn or something#and dean is dating or maybe living with lisa but he's been thinking for a while that things between them#aren't good. he's been trying with her and wants to make it work for ben too. but then he meets castiel..#at first he's just trying to keep cas' existence and presence a secret but cas' cluelessness about human#life quickly results in dean covering shit up in comical aways and close calls. he's exasperated but also#secretly (not so secretly) fond of cas and helps educate him on humanity eventually resulting in#introducing cas to others either intentionally or by necessity as others encounter them together and#dean has to lie and say cas is a new coworker or neighbour or whatever. so cas is suddenly in his life#out in the open and it's nice but the wrong people are looking for cas and now manage to track him down#also: either dean initially found cas seeking refuge in his barn OR he encountered cas out in a field#or somewhere and brought him back to the barn to treat him before realising he definitely wasn't human#or maybe he already realised it but wasn't just gonna leave him out in the open for the wrong folk to#find him. cas was injured so he was no threat and dean didn't have it in him to just ignore the guy#cas was a little standoffish at first but he left dean help him maybe with bandages or something. and he#observed dean with squinty eyes and guardedness and then wide-eyed curiosity and ofc had no concept of#personal space. dean would check in on him daily and cas would learn about his life even as he#didn't share much of his own life - dean thought cas didn't trust him which was fine but also wasn't he#earning the guy's trust? eventually dean was adamant about knowing more about cas. he'd been#trying to research in the meantime but not finding much - ending up with more Qs than As#the reality was: cas didn't tell dean much (or the whole truth) bc he didn't want dean to think poorly of him#and then when the Bad Folk came after cas he realised he'd put dean in danger and ended up leaving#in order to keep him safe. that's when dean found out the truth about cas' kind and how he was different

genuine question: how do i know if my oc is actually good or not?
or, maybe, 'well-developed and well-designed' rather than 'good'?
esp without feedback from others, lol, because it's hard enough putting snippets out there for funsies, im hesitant to put more out there if i'm just gonna be bringing a shitty stick figure glued to a popsicle stick to show and tell while everyone else is bringing like....meticulously crafted ball-joint dolls and lovingly made amigurumi and so on (/end crappy metaphor)
#everyone's ocs and tavs and such are lovely. it's kinda fun watching yall play#i wanna play too :(((#but not if my guy sucks#but i dont know if he actually sucks or if there's something there and im right to love him the way i do#idk man#im the worst at self-evaluation with this stuff#the default is to assume im failing at what i set out to do#(well my default is to assume I Suck at Everything but that mindset isnt helpful right?#so what am i setting out to do with this? and am i hitting it? or am i getting there? or am i failing? is probably more useful. idk)#(tho maybe 'am i missing the mark and how can i get there' is even more useful than 'am i failing?' but this isnt the point)#people have told me in the past that no. he doesnt suck. they liked reading about him#but if that were actually true then more people would like him. obviously.#but its actually a general question because if i can ever get out of my head and into my creative endeavors....#i'll need to create and design a lot of characters right? like.... i wanna do comics#i want to make my villain knitting circle dating sim#and if i cant even be sure the little guy i made for shits and giggles is any good#how can i expect to do something more in-depth???#i know the general answer is practice. but then if it turns out i am bad at Characters....#then i'll just practice the bad things#feedback is the answer but then that swings back around to i dont wanna just shove garbage in people's faces because thatd be cruel#so i dont know what to do. and all the while i'm just not doing anything and it's not productive and i'm aware#i know part of it is also 'feel the fear. show him off anyway' but i am!!!!!!#nobody is biting!!! and its because they hate hiiiiimmmmm/whiny baby mode#i mean. yall might see more of him bc i might actually write some things but god. nobody will probably bite with those either#ughh....#to the void with love

First one from twitter (link) and the redder one from this post (link).
Couldn't decide which one to do so filled both (ļæ£ā–½ļæ£)" Tried to vary those red/green flag questions a little, but they ended up pretty similar. Link to the song is here. Second pic is sadly a bit harder to read (sorry couldn't be bothered to redo it after I noticed).
What else uhh.... these romantic things are always a bit weird to fill with Hawu'li because he doesn't really have any hard "types". If you are a guy and at least somewhat nice to him he'll most likely be open to trying dating... and even if you are a literal villain, he might consider it if you are really pretty (*cough* Zenos). I guess it depends mostly on the fact if the potential partner finds him annoying or not haha.
