Batman AU where the batfam is an extension of Gotham’s will so they can’t leave the city without taking a piece of it with them

Bruce, ever practical, has a batarang made from a steel piece off the bat signal (not that he’d be able to throw it but it’s a backup nonetheless)

Dick, Jay, and Tim have made it Robin tradition to carry pebbles in their pockets (the justice league has come to associate the soft jingling of rocks with the arrival of the Dark Knight)

Steph finds pretty rocks and quartz to crack open and share with Cassandra- and they cycle through their newest finds (cass does keep a shiny piece of obsidian in her utility belt, it was the first one Steph gave her)

Duke keeps a corner from a road sign in his pouch, the reflective yellow paint matches his theme- (what better representation of the city than perpetual construction)

Damian reverently carries a piece of deep green sea glass from the harbor. The color reminds him of his mother, and he finds the beauty fitting. (The irony that the only way for him to leave his new home is an echo of the reason he’s there in the first place is not lost on him.)

EDIT: LOOK AT THE REBLOGGED VERSION WITH MORE CONTENT ITS WORTH IT I SWEAR

Tfw you wanted to get some Halloween outfits out for Fiddlestan and BillFord (possibly the twins too) on Halloween but your schedule is fucked, your busy with other projects and inspiration for costumes flew out the window so you’ll have to post way later then you actually wanted 😭

If I could plan my art better and ya know WORK DURING THE DAY INSTEAD OF SOLEY AT NIGHT this would be way easier lmfao

maturing is realizing that love does extend to fictional characters

maturing is also the acceptance that it’s a one-sided angst type of a relationship, where they’re only the characters you’ve loved and grown attached to, and you’re the one left to be the only thing that’s real.

“a cage for a cage”

when philza said it i was like LET’S FUCKING GOOO ANGEL OF DEATH PHILZA

and now cucurucho got him and said the same to him, as a reminder that the federation is in charge and no one should go against them

the fucking federation kidnapped him because he went against them, and the lava casting was nothing compared to what phil can do if he goes full angel of death

of course i’m worried about him but i know him and he’s gonna set that fucking cage on fire to get out and kill everyone in his way, he can be ruthless and he’s going to be and the federation will fall

Letting go of the ideologies you’ve been raised with feels as if you’re shedding skin. It’s uncomfortable and painful, because it’s the only way of being you’ve known. Machismo is so ingrained in latino culture, so deeply entwined in our identities. It shapes not only how men are expected to act but the family dynamics.

That’s why a character like Eddie Diaz is so meaningful to me. A man raised in the shadow of machismo, who enlisted with the fucked up notion that he needed to provide for his family (and run away from it) chooses not to pass that legacy to Christopher. It’s a breath of fresh air to see him refuse to raise Chris with that same toxic masculinity. He is proof that growth is possible, even in the face of cultural pressure. Reading Ryan’s interviews just furthers my thoughts on this. It’s so heartwarming to see the growth he has done on his own time and how that has merged into Eddie.

You know those “do you think we are friends in every universe?” Tik tok videos that are super cute? I wanted to make a reinochi one but I realized it would impossible for them to be friends in any other universe where Zingai don’t exist like they are together mainly bc they are victims of their circumstances. An universe where Zingai don’t exist is an universe where Rei’s parents are alive and Tobi wasn’t kidnapped, an universe where both are happy living a normal life with their families

It’s kinda sad when you look at it in Tobi’s case bc it would be an universe where he has another name, the one his parents wanted him to have, and a different personality. He would be another person altogether

Also I don’t have enough AUs to make the video so that’s that too ig

Neji says “my wife, the head of the Osaka Clan” the same way Regina George says “my dad, the inventor of toaster strudels.”

Just a quick question for people who work in branding or social media or PR or simply have more than an idea how it works, how likely is it that Alpha Tauri’s Instagram did get hacked?

After the whole fiasco of changing names and then deactivating on Thursday, I’d have thought they would have rushed to make some kind of announcement about the new name or car launch on Friday but there’s been nothing and their Instagram account is not yet back up. It’s also a bit strange how only their instagram account was changed. Question is — if one of your social media platforms gets hacked, would it be something you’d address on your other platforms? What kind of mitigation plans would you even have in place?

I know you love big bad scary men, what do you think of my most favourite boy ever and my longtime crush my beloved Emperor Nero from Riordanverse?

Cool look but since I don’t know anything about them or the context of the thing I just can’t have any deep opinion, I’m sorry

So sorry

Looking back makes me realize just how toxic my friendships were and how much better I am to be alone now, even though it still hurt being abandoned. Like with my supposedly “best friend”when FNAF first came out, my friend showed me and I thought it was so cool and I wanted to play it with them, but they didn’t want to play it with me because “they knew about it first and it was their game” and they didn’t want me to “copy” their interests because “everyone always copies their interests.” Then there was that other time when I didn’t get invited to one of my “friends” birthday party, and they accused me of “purposely having a sleepover on the day of their birthday party” despite the fact that the sleepover wasn’t even my idea originally and I didn’t even know it was on the day of their birthday because, I DIDN'T GET A FUCKING INVITE (note: everyone had already been invited). So then they “uninvited me”, which was crazy because I wasn’t even invited in the first place, and wanted me to cancel my sleepover and let my other friend go to their party. Obviously I said “Fuck no” because wtf!? Anyways that one friendship ended and I was made to be the “villain” in her and her other friends eyes. Also straight up got called by almost every friend their “sidekick.” Why is it so hard to find decent people? Why can’t I just have an equal friendship with people that care about me the same way I care about them?

Me: I want to interact with more people on here like I used to back in the day

Also me: working a 10 hour day where I do nothing but help people and literally have nothing to give when I get home from being so exhausted 😭

In retrospect, I regret skipping Rebels. 🥲

not just because of Ahsoka, I haven’t gotten there yet. But because back then, I got interested in star wars (I’m still am) when I was a teen and wanted to watch it all in chronological word, and I was told by someone “oh skip rebels, it kinda irrelevant” and then I saw at least during the time that people were saying the show was mid. So I shrugged and say “okay”. And now in 2023, I now finally got to watch it, I’m on season 2 I have to pick it up again, and honestly I should’ve just not listen to people, because at least imo, rebels pretty good, does it get kid-ish at time, sure but it not like that a bad thing really. I do think the story pretty solid when it come to Ezra, and only most of the character are pretty good, I don’t have a complaint really (tbh my favorite is probably kanan, I do like his complexity and how even thought yes he still acts as a jedi he does care deeply. Tbh I’m hazy since I didn’t pick it up again so I might have rewatch again. My bad 😅)

So honestly, even though I regret not seeing rebels especially since at that time I had just finished watching clone wars after season seven dropped. But I’m just glad I’m watching it watching it now. ^v^

Also I’m not going to lie, the fact Ezra’s lightsaber (at least now unless he loses it at some point since I saw he have completely different color lightsaber) is a gun and a lightsaber is kinda cool, I would like a lightsaber like that. Idk 😅

[seungmoes]

Sad that they’re announcing a tour right when I’m the least interested I’ve ever been since I first listened to them

I wanna go but I don’t know if I like where they’re heading and there won’t be time to find that out until tickets are gone

my migraines have become so much more frequent recently and something that’s struck me is how difficult it is to explain this type of pain, both to others and to myself.

The thing is, most of the time (luckily for me, this is not a universal experience) the pain is somewhat negligible on its own. If my migraines only lasted 10 minutes, they wouldn’t be worth mentioning. I could just wait it out, or even work through it if i had to. But because they tend to last days, the pain becomes cumulative.

It’s not that I can’t make dinner. It’s that I can’t go out with friends for dinner, because between the trip there, the restaurant noise, the wait, the socializing, the eating, the paying, and the trip back? that becomes more than one task. Simple things get broken down, and my endurance runs out. I can make dinner because the only task is boiling water and putting ramen in the pot. It’s the difference between a 50 meter dash and a 5k.

I have to be strategic to mitigate pain, so the tasks I do perform have to be essential. I can attend a class or work in an imminent paper, but hobbies are shot. Which, I think is where a factor beyond pain comes in. You lose time. And when you have multiple headache days a month, that lost time takes a toll.

It’s a psychologically upsetting experience. It’s one thing to spend all day in bed when you have the flu. Typically, you’ll only catch it once a year, and once you’re better you’ll be back to it. Migraines are sudden and unpredictable and frequent. You start tracking all the plans you’ve had to cancel and activities you’ve had to put off. Because really, it’s the things that you enjoy that are the first to go. And that can start to feel like life is losing its joy. That when you are well, it’s only borrowed time until the next episode.

I don’t know how to communicate that. It’s not like a broken arm or an illness with an estimated recovery period. It’s not always as painful, but it eats away at you in a way other common injuries and sicknesses don’t.

something about humanoid-yet-not-quite-human characters. characters who are a little bit incomprehensible, or a little bit divorced from their humanity. characters who are born with teeth a little too sharp, and characters who learn they have to file their teeth a little too sharp
