danny and officer martinez's relationship in "late at night, when the nightingale sings" in a nutshell:
Martinez: FREAK! GET YOUR FUCKING KID!
Battinson, on the other side of the crime scene: he don't bite
Martinez, with Nightingale firmly attached his arm, visibly biting him: YES HE DO!
*points at them* Danny is the Bugs Bunny to Martinez's Elmer Fudd.
Another Officer: i can't believe you're fighting with an actual twelve year old. Martinez: i swear to god that is not a twelve year old, that is a little hellion that crawled out of batman's shadow one dark and stormy night and decided to dedicate his existence to tormenting me. Officer: Are you really that mad about him putting a sticky note on your back-- Martinez: thats not the point
in danny's defense: the word "freak" is. a mini beserker button for him for.... obvious ghostly reasons, so like, even if its not directed at him, he still very much unappreciates Martinez's insults at Battinson. Danny may or may not be projecting.
he's not going to hurt the guy! not in any serious or permanently disfiguring way at least! But he is going to leave mean sticky notes on the square part of his spine that he can't reach, and stick salt in his 3AM Late Night Crime Scene Coffee, and kick the bottom of his heel while he's walking so he stumbles. And other petty, infuriating things that tally up and boil over, over time.
#dpxdc#danny fenton is not the ghost king#dp x dc#dpxdc crossover#blood blossom au#dpxdc memes#dpxdc au#the only thing martinez is right about is the fact that danny is. in fact. NOT twelve.#he's just shrimpy because he's half-dead#there's eventually a 'martinez vs nightingale' board in the precinct called the beef board. it tallies every time one of them gets got by#the other. danny is currently in the lead by a wide margin. martinez is very limited in what he can do bc of multiple reasons. but one#of them is the fact that batman HAS punched a cop before. three actually. and he won't hesitate to punch another if martinez actually did#anything to harm nightingale. and also nightingale shows up so rarely and doesnt stick around long enough for martinez to retaliate#or properly plan ahead. its kinda a wild card whether or not nightingale pops up on the scene.#nightingale: i am just a little guy!! the littlest of boy!! baddabing-baddaboom! you wouldn't do nothin to a little guy would'ya?#battinson who atp knows full well that if it werent for the blood blossom danny could turn martinez into a red smear: *would you?*#danny: if it werent for the laws of this land i would have committed acts of violence against You Specifically :)#and also like. every single other officer insulting batman and callin him a freak. they're not safe either martinez is just the poor sucker#that i have a name to give the face to#danny's a good kid but also i don't picture him totally.. hm... mentally stable? he's a little spicy. as a treat.#he's kind at his core but also he found his family's corpses and was isolated from society for 4 months by his abusive godfather and was#poisoned with quite literally the only toxin capable of destroying him entirely and can no longer (currently) use his powers without dying#instantly. so he's! he's doing his best! like between being chaotic and being kind he's def gonna choose being kind but also.#he's living on borrowed time and is in a constant active state of being slowly eaten alive by his own bloodstream. it weighs on ya psyche#danny's barely even processed his family's death and now he's got all this other trauma stacked on top to address. he is Windows EXP rn#tormenting martinez is just. an itty bitty way he can let loose some of the stress he's ignoring.#considering danny's alternate timeline was: world annihilation. he thinks he's doing pretty well all things considered

i feel like Most dpxdc crossover fics have dp and dc in the same universe which like, is still fun don't get me wrong, but there's so many missed opportunities with them being in fully separate universes!
i'm specifically thinking of an au where the dcu is fictional in danny's universe like in ours. so instead of him being dropped in a random city, he's fully isekaid into the dcu and has to deal with the implications of that. danny not being a dc fan could def be interesting, but i personally really like the idea of him being a fan! i think he'd be really into characters like martian manhunter or the superfam since they're more directly related to space, but i think he'd have appreciation for the common dpxdc characters like the batfam too.
but anyway i'm just thinking of dc fan danny who somehow gets dropped into the dcu and is immediately clocked as Different and Knowing by literally every hero/vigilante there. damian screams bloody murder at him and danny just gives him this look like "i know what you've been through and you're just a kid so i won't hold it against you even though that was pretty mean" and damian is sooo pissed cause what the fuck does this guy know?? danny looks at jason like he's seeing robin and not red hood,,, he sees batman one day and gives him the most begrudging respectful and also highly judgemental glare. danny seeing clark on the street and immediately noping and turning around like no not dealing with superman today no thanks. danny randomly happens to be walking next to wally and tries to get him into a walking race. danny who keeps looking up at the sky whenever the watchtower is above him.
i just love the idea of danny walking around knowing way too much, not even necessarily being Powerful at this point, he just knows! too! much! and every hero who meets him feels completely exposed like how does this random kid give everyone the heebie jeebies.. what does he know.. how much does he know... why does he know... etcetc.
idk i love casually creepy danny
#he's so funny to me#danny seeing bruce wayne in the grocery store: glares at him like he knows every single secret flaw obsession that bruce has#bruce: š¤Ø#j'onn tries to read his mind and danny immediately panics and thinks of like fnaf or something#danny: don't think about the teen.titans cartoon do NOT think about the teen.titans cartoon#personally i think this au works best when danny truly has no ulterior motive like he really got hit by a bus or landed there#danny: turns into a complete stick near cass in hopes that she won't figure him out#cass: š¤Ø#obviously aus like this can also be made way more interesting by having seriously injured danny or ghost king danny#deaged danny or even assassin danny#how did he become an assassin in his normal world you say? don't ask me man im just the messenger#dpxdc#dcxdp#i love silly teenager danny he's so special to me#danny: like yes i should go home but do you think i can bring these limited edition jl figures with me?????

do you think aemond wanted aegon to die? i still dont understand this lol

still dont see how so many people say that dawntrail is poorly written in comparison to other expansions like. what, did you realize you had to learn about a new culture and immediately not care anymore lmao? you've done it before, was this one not white enough for you?
genuinely i think more people should do side quests during msq so idk you can form a heart about the characters you're interacting with if you struggle with that and understand the land better so when impactful shit happens your illiterate ass can actually read and have empathy. theres no excuse for this.
if you can't handle storybuilding and character introductions from the expansion that feels like stormblood and shadowbringers had passionate gay sex that got one of them pregnant and birthed a beautiful daughter they both love and care about then idk what to tell you, maybe youre just lame and can't read. best of luck with that.
#'they dont take as many risks as shadowbringers and endwalker!!' okay one WHAT risk did ENDWALKER take lmao#and two DID YOU PLAY PAST ZORMOR LMAO?????????? HELLO?????????? DID YOU LEAVE TULIYOLLAL??? WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT#like i genuinely think you guys just complain about shit without actually playing the game#god forbid you have to learn about another world#some people heard this was stormblood 2 and immediately gave up caring#oh im sorry you were able to care about literal racist elves in cold france but a refugee? a non white civilization? oh i see#shadowbringers literally set up its societies too they were already in war dawntrail wasnt already#i think people should replay stormblood. it was never a bad expansion and i dont know what people are talking about???#half of the complaints i see for stormblood are racist and the other half werent reading any of the dialogue#'the horrors of war expansion has horrors of war in it i just wanna play on the playground with gay elves'#bitches will literally say they dont understand stormblood or dawntrail and then say yotsuyu was justified zenos is hot and wuk lamat is bad#why play a fantasy game if youre not interested in exploring new worlds#dawntrail takes so many more risks than shadowbringers and endwalker combined and sticks the landing with just about all of them#i think my only problem was how many times theg brought up they arent related by blood. no i can tell lol#some of yall are just haters that cant form their own opinion and are just mindlessly nodding along to somebody#you follow on twitter that was gonna hate DT regardless because zenos didnt come back to life this time#consume new media. go do side quests. touch grass. walk a trail at dawn and perhaps you have appreciation for story building#you guys are pathetic and i wish you the worst <3#dawntrail's twists are on par with shb and stb thats why i call it the love child of stormblood and shadowbringers#ffxiv

i know the joke back in march/april was that tommy was buck's sam and eddie was his nick but actually it would be So much more compelling if tommy was buck's richard and eddie was his chandler because the idea of having children and being a father has always existed on the periphery of buck's identity so if he had to reckon with a partner that didn't want kids it would actually be an interesting conflict that would be in line with buck's characterisation while also allowing the show to tie up all the loose ends about buck and fatherhood from s6 as well as the will and the chris of it all
#they could so stick the landing of the last 2 and a half seasons if they did that come ON#idk what confession tommy is going to reveal etc but i'm just saying!!!!!#that would actually be interesting#especially since ep 6 looks like it'll be a big fatherhood ep for eddie#and!!!! there's apparently that buddie scene at the end where they're able to sit in silence bc they know exactly what each other needs/is#feeling#anyway you get the point#this has less to do with tommy and more to do with the fact that i NEED buck to acquire a baby#and i NEED the show to address everything they didn't in s6#911 related

Calling it now, weāre gonna have a parody of [S] Game Over but with Jane and her Crocker death laser as the batterwitch with her laser beams.
#this isnāt a fully fleshed out theory and idk if Iāll get around to actually posting my thoughts from the GC I was in but wanted to put#this out here as a sort of calling dibs on being right about my prediction#after all a good theory crafter sometimes just has to throw darts at a board and see what actually sticks and lands#Iāll write out a more well thought out post later but this is just a prediction#James Roach did say we were getting a flash soon#itās either this or Dirk finalizing the players for his homebrew SBURB game#and/or kickstarting it; check out my other homestuck theories for info on that#but yeahhhh Iāll make a more detailed post later#if I remember to actually get around to it#mine#op#homestuck spoilers#homestuck beyond canon#hsbc#homestuck

natlan 5.1 was batshit insane but i won't deny cookery when i see it. last 1/3 of the archon quest is just brilliantly done in my opinion, from writing to level design to soundtrack. just genuine excellence
#sev.screams#natlan#the character centric parts were rather weak to me#ororon has an intriguing arc but i don't care enough about him to care about the arc#similarly i only felt a surface level investment with a lot of the other main cast; though funnily enough excluding citlali#she's a breath of fresh air amongst the cast and i really enjoyed her screentime#there are a lot of story decisions in this quest that i'm impressed and glad hoyo decided to take; it adds a layer of realism to natlan tha#was missing in inazuma and ultimately i believe was the reason inazuma flopped as a nation#there is real tangible weight in the things that happen in natlan; i felt moved by the story and i think that's the hallmark of a good stor#i hope in the next archon quest they don't undo or undermine these decisions in any way. they truly contributed so much to the overall tone#of the story that to remove them would be like taking the legs out from underneath it#writing aside the environmental storytelling and level design also contributed so much to crafting the atmosphere of this quest#it felt gut wrenching in a way inazuma never did. for even the briefest moment these npcs were people and you were watching them struggle#a poignant beautiful desperate struggle that i think is so incredibly human and both moving and heartbreaking to witness#also helped by the exquisite ost. hoyomix has certainly not lost their touch even with yu peng chen gone#despair hope triumph relief; all captured so wonderfully in a score i know i will be listening to for the next few weeks once it drops#i'm rambling so much but. i liked this a lot and i can only hope hoyo sticks the landing on this one#i hate having high expectations but i can't help it for this one i fear

I know weāre like spoiled for choice when it comes to connecting Siken poems to characters from The Terror because of the, um, Themes, you know? But honestly, if weāre not talking about āReal Estateā and how itās The Poem for Crozier then actually what are we doing, even?
#āthese things are complicatedā says the talmud#āthese things are complicatedā says the Health Department#āwhen I die I will come in fast and lowā#āI will stick the landing. There will be no confusionā#āthe dead will make room for meā#DO YOU SEE MY VISION????#DO YOU GET WHAT IM SAYING#Iām sorry for terrorposting but we are missing out on prime real estate here NO PUN INTENDED#the terror#the terror amc#francis crozier#Richard Siken#I feel like itās one of his newer works comparatively#And it doesnāt get the love it deserves#But those last linesā¦. Phew#He Really Did That

So I'm listening to some old Flemeth dialogue while I eat breakfast and in hindsight of who Mythal is as a person, I think it's interesting that there's a consistent form of manipulation from her this whole time. Like as a female warden, she'll hit you with "does your woman's mind give you a different viewpoint? or do you you believe as these boys do?" like the implied expectation of maturity in comparison to the soldiers around her is, in itself, a leading question. The whole thing is already set up as a test, but a test with the hindsight of Mythal's nature adds an interesting layer to it. this thought isn't really going anywhere I just think it's Neat
#tbd#veilguard spoilers /#sort of.#anyway I think its funny that apparently mythal /did/ have a bunch of hosts prior to flemeth but once she landed on her shes like#oh no i'm sticking with this one she shares my vibe. mind body and soul for you babe#and they just soul transferred together for the rest of their time.

Hey y'all! Slightly weird question, but you know I love making and giving themed gift sets: Do you have any recommendations for board books or picture books with a sunshine or lemonade kind of theme? The set so far is a pink and orange and yellow quilt, a plushie sun, and a pair of pink and yellow baby booties with lemon slices all over them. It's good as-is, but I think if I can find a book to tie them all together it'd be even better
#the person behind the yarn#it doesn't have to be sunshine themed I guess something spring themed would also work?#but the quilt is honestly more summer than spring#and the baby this set is for is in the part of California I used to live in#aka the Land of Perpetual Summer#I mean right now they are getting a lot of rain so not quite so summer right this second#but most of the time! most of the time it is summer there even when it isn't chronologically#the vibes of this baby set to me are sunshine and joy#and maybe I have learned something about myself and my personal associations with the color combo of yellow and pink while making it#(for example: did not know I like yellow or pink at all but I do! especially together!)#so it's entirely possible this is not a universal or even common color association#but I'm sticking with it anyway lol

sketches of Wolf in his mermaid form! His name is deceptive because while he looks like a werewolf most of the time, he can be whatever beast or critter he wants.

Naww but if I think about it, my s/i and Utonium kinda have a Rose Quartz/Greg Universe thing going on š¤š¤š¤
#jane journals#š¬ starkissed scientist š¬#ngl they DID have a profound impact on my psyche!!!!#like...i dont got all the details yet#but my s/i was wandering the galaxy for a while. shes a rly long-lived alien species#and at some point. maybe around the 80s or 90s? she landed on earth and fell in love with it#decided to stick around and blend in!!#i dont think she was running from anything or earth was in immediate danger#actually yanno i havent played with the idea of her BEING a hero??#but i like the idea of her simply being someone who doesnt fit in and can relate to utonium for it

s10 feels like it was written by people who watched the previous 9 seasons exclusively through random out-of-context gifs
#like the most surface-level possible conflicts you could give these 2 characters in light of their nightmarish history#i could write a more meaningful argument btwn them in my sleep to be fucking honest#again i am not being arrogant by saying this lmao the writing is just That bad in the late seasons#s9 had moments of accidental brilliance in retrospect but it did not stick the landing by any stretch of the imagination#s8 had tons of interesting threads to pull on but they never cohered into a satisfying whole#spn#liveblog tag#10.18
