Ugggggh I hate making the grid for a piece, how am I only halfway done after doing this for like a week

I mean I’ve done enough stitching to know that I VERY MUCH need the grid and that I will have a Bad Time if I don’t do this necessary preparation, but man, there’s not a whole hell of a lot of dopamine in this step. (And since stitching is basically an ADHD stim for me… yeah.)

I also hadn’t realized just how BIG this piece is going to be. It’s going to have a lot of blank space in it so it’s not like I’m stitching all 56,700 pixels on it, but… well, I guess there’s a reason I picked the itty-bitty 22 count aida instead of my usual 16. We’ll see how much self-punishment this is once I actually start. The last time I used 22 count aida was the only stitching project I ever abandoned, but I was also WAY less experienced, didn’t have nearly the same tools that I do now (in terms of nice ways to display patterns, nice gridline floss, etc.), and foolishly thought for some reason that using two strands of floss at once would be appropriate for 22 count cloth just because I’d done it on, like, 11 count or 14 count. Pretty sure this won’t be as bad as that, but we’ll see just how bad it gets.

Still, at least the second half of the grid always goes faster because you only have to count half as much, but still. Bleh. Can we start the fun parts soon, please.

Danny Is An Alternate Version Of Ra's Al Ghul And Flash Already Called Dibs On Adopting Him

Danny In All His Sleep Deprived Slightly Scuffed Up From A Fight Glory Is On His Way To Clockworks Tower To Hopefully Get A Nap And Maybe Some Homework Done When A Natural Portal Opens Up In Front Of Him And Proceeds To Unceremoniously Drop Him In The DC Verse Just Outside Of Central City Before Promptly Closing Leaving A Tired Danny Behind In A Run Down Abandoned Parking Lot.

It's Times Like This When Danny Regrets Putting Off Learning How To Make His Own Portals, Cause Now He Is Very Much Stuck For The Foreseeable Future And He Has No Idea Where Or When He Is. Luckily For Him However Central City Isn't Too Far Away, Unlucky For Him However Is That Once In The City He Realizes This Isn't His Dimension. He's Pretty Sure He'd Remember Something Called The Justice League.

So What Do You Do When Supernatural Bullshit Fails You? You Fall Back On Your Mad Scientist Roots And You Make A Portal Gun. So That's Exactly What Danny Plans To Do.

Unfortunately Staying Alive And Building Questionably Safe Portal Technology Requires Money And Supplies, So He Ends Up Wandering From City To City Doing Odd Jobs/Fixing Up Busted Tech For Cash Or Unwanted Electronics For His "Operation: Get Home" Needs. This Obviously Ends In A Few Superhero Encounter Shenanigans.

Though He Always Ends Up Back Near Central City, Both On The Off Chance The Natural Portal Will Open Up Again And Because Out Of All The Superheroes That Apparently Exist In This Universe The Speedsters Are His Favorite (Red Robin Is Solidly His Second Favorite Ever Since The Gotham Vigilante Gave Him A Large Coffee Filled With Enough Caffeine To Kill A Man).

Unbeknownst To Danny However Is That Every Hero/Vigilante He Has Encountered Has Come To At Least One Of The Following Conclusions; 1. Run Away Meta Who Is In Desperate Need Of A Good Meal/Adoption Bait. 2. Possibly Red Robin/Tim Drake Clone 3. A Good Kid But Could Possibly Be A Future Rouge If Left Unsupervised. 4. Did Bats Get A New Kid And Why Is He Here?

All Flash Knows Is That He Saw The Kid First And Therefore Has Dibs. Suck It Bruce.

Fast-forward A Few Months And Danny Gets Hurt During A Rogue Attack While Trying To Help Some Civilians Get To Safety (Old Hero Habits Die Hard (Ha Die Hard) And All That Jazz) And He Nopes Out Once Everyone Is Safe And When The Paramedics Are Busy With Other People Unaware He Left A Blood Sample Behind.

One DNA Test Brought To You By Paranoid Bat Concerns Of A Possible Red Robin Clone Later And They Find Out That Dannys DNA Matches One Ra's Al Ghul.

They Now Think Danny Is An Escaped Ra's Al Ghul Clone.

Rewatching Adventure Time, I can't help but think so much Princess Bubblegum discourse would be non-existent if people actually watched the show to completion instead of randomly hyperfocusing on some of PB's bad deeds.

There's a very bizarre and commonly held belief that Princess Bubblegum did terrible things and got away with it, that nobody held her accountable. When the show makes a point, repeatedly, that Princess Bubblegum is well meaning but deeply flawed, and to some characters, straight up evil.

I see fans point to "The Cooler" a lot as proof that PB is an irredeemable character, and while it is her worst act in the entire show.... I think people forgot that that was the point. Near the end of the episode she stops spying on people in Ooo because it was an invasion of privacy. In another episode she's called out for exploiting some aliens and lets them go. She feels ashamed that her own people are terrified of her. She loses her entire kingdom, and realizes she needs to get her shit together.

I'm pretty critical of shows that are way too lenient on flawed female characters but Princess Bubblegum isn't one of them. She's awesome, and heavily misunderstood.

also in the face of people deleting their blogs, that's another reason why you guys are supposed to reblog stuff. if somebody deletes a post, your liked version will disappear, but the reblogs remain. i'm insane about preservation and archival, every single piece of art i have ever enjoyed is reblogged on my 450k+ posts main account so if the artists leave I still have their work. i even tag things (though just with the main fandom tag) so I have years and years worth of fanworks saved that the terrible general site search will never show you.

please reblog art. not just to support the artists who make it and share their efforts, but also so you have your own copy of their works saved for yourself, and the future users of this site.

I can never quite get enough of "good only" players who use the knock out exploit to romance Minthara, only to turn around and complain that her romance feels "incomplete". Yeah, probably because you missed the most critical part of her romance that is locked behind the grove raid! Her spicy scene is not what is important, it's what happens after the fact that is.

The moment where her mask unravels and shatters. Where you are the first person in a very long time to see the real her. Where she puts herself in your arms because for just a brief moment, she feels some semblance of safety, something she hasn't felt for centuries. How she begins to express doubt in the Absolute, her experiences, and herself. Where she is completely unable to recognize who she is or the things she has done, because the Absolute has stolen her mind and her body. Where the Absolute amplified all her worst characteristics while suppressing the good and reasonable ones. Where you were the first real choice she has ever made in a long time, a choice that she is completely sure she made for herself. A choice that makes her realize how little she has had all this time. A choice that makes her realize that she actually enjoys the silence of the Absolute because it has been nonstop noise in her head! You gave her peace, you gave her comfort, you gave her security, you gave her silence. You were the choice that begins her Absolute deprogramming. When you come save her in Moonrise, she prays to you because you are the only one she has faith will answer. She sees you as her savior, her god. Because if not you, who else?

And you miss ALL of that by skipping the grove raid. Don't complain that her romance feels incomplete, when you chose to not complete it!

Not going to reblog or mention the post where I saw these tags, but wow this sentiment sucks as someone who mostly writes one-shots when she writes fic. How does commenting on one-shots not translate to motivation for the writer to continue writing them? What is the thought process there?

Commenting is contributing to fandom; it's a dialogue with the writer while engaging in the community, in theory, and flat out claiming there's no need for it...? Sad, but not particularly unexpected, I guess.
