#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#wei wuxian#lan wangji#lan xichen#When I was listening to this episode I was truly losing my mind when Lan Xichen was giving the pre-amble.#'This is where we keep our unusual music' and 'music with malevent energy.'#If that isn't penis music...I don't know what is. I feel like my goofs have been justified.#I love how JGY's craftiness comes into play here. Of *course* he knows about the secret library - he was a spy for a reason!#His secret skill is finding secret spots!#Like how your cat gets into spots you did not intend for them to get into.#So sad Lan Xichen didn't show JGY the library.

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: 🤨#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: 🤨#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
do you know how in the cask of Amontillado one of them is drunk off his ass in a clown suit with his jingling jester’s cap and fun pointed shoes just like I am so excited to get to spend time with you we are besties you have nothing but my best interest at heart and I can always count on you isn’t this revel so fun and then the other one is like I’m going to put you in a fucking saw trap and brick you up in the wall because you have irrevocably injured and insulted me for the 1000th time and you don’t even fucking know it. anyways, I think that’s what they were going for more than anything else

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, we’re gonna have a parody of [S] Game Over but with Jane and her Crocker death laser as the batterwitch with her laser beams.
#this isn’t a fully fleshed out theory and idk if I’ll 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#I’ll 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#it’s 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 I’ll 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

As Stephen [Ira] left the stage, he quipped, “You know what they say—trans girls play video games, trans boys write slash fiction.”
I hadn’t known that, actually. I was like, Huh. Later I thought about it and I was like, Oh. And then I thought about it some more and I was like, Oh NO. It was going to be incredibly inconvenient and time-consuming, but it was the only path forward: I had to rewrite the whole novel. Fay was trans, and I owed it to the novel to explore the implications of this, which meant I was now writing a trans story.
I’d be lying if I said it never crossed my mind, over the next three years of writing and rewriting, that this might also say something about me. In fact, besides men having sex with each other, I thought of little else. But it was an abstract, hypothetical thought. After all, what was I going to do, transition? I didn’t have time for that. For God’s sake, I was trying to write a novel here
made me shriek-cry-laugh at work. stream idlewild
#🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡#just remembered this was in my drafts from when i was like 30% thru the book and worried it wouldnt stick the landing#BUT IT DID#idlewild

I know we’re 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 we’re not talking about “Real Estate” and how it’s The Poem for Crozier then actually what are we doing, even?
#‘these things are complicated’ says the talmud#‘these things are complicated’ says the Health Department#‘when I die I will come in fast and low’#‘I will stick the landing. There will be no confusion’#‘the dead will make room for me’#DO YOU SEE MY VISION????#DO YOU GET WHAT IM SAYING#I’m 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 it’s one of his newer works comparatively#And it doesn’t get the love it deserves#But those last lines…. Phew#He Really Did That

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

erha demonstrates that, contrary to popular opinion, you can in fact pull off the “i want to end all slavery…. by brainwashing superman into nuking the planet!!!” villain motivation if☝️you make things unspeakably awful for everyone all the time

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.
#sometimes little girls who love mermaids grow up into men who love mermen and that’s the truth of it#oc: wolf#mermaid art#merman art#merman#i wish I did mermay tbh but I was recovering from surgery and then I just wasn’t good at sticking to a daily drawing routine so I didn’t#shapeshifter oc#Every summer I wish I was a shapeshifter so I could turn into a mermaid instead of being a sweaty little guy on land#I wish I was a shapeshifter so fucking bad.

Naww but if I think about it, my s/i and Utonium kinda have a Rose Quartz/Greg Universe thing going on 🤔🤔🤔
#jane journals#🔬 starkissed scientist 🔬#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
