Prompt 211

The figure looked down at Billy. Billy looked up at the figure awkwardly from where he was digging through a trash can. 

“Um… I can explain!” 

Okay he honestly couldn’t, and instead threw a bag at them and booked it like his life depended on it. Which it might! Living in Fawcett meant that there were magical entities everywhere, even if they looked human, and he wasn’t going to get stolen by some fae! 

…

And they caught him. Great. He’s going to die now or get thrown back into foster care- huh? Food? They’re offering- no no, this is some fae bullshit, isn’t it! … But he’s also hungry, so maybe it’ll be worth it…

one of my favorite things about zedaph is that on a server full of people that find strange and oft-overlooked minecraft mechanics or rare events and then see just how far they can push them in the name of spectacle or efficiency or world-breaking, zed is over here finding these mechanics in order to do the weirdest things he can think of in as entertaining a manner as possible

like i 100% have faith in zedaph's theoretical ability to be just as efficient or spectacular or world-breaking. if he wanted to do that stuff, i trust that he absolutely could. but thats so far from being his priority. instead, hes going to spend around a week of irl time focused entirely on eventually having the good luck to spawn in something insanely rare so that he can convert it into something even rarer, the result of which being something that 99% of the server reacts with complete and utter shock that it even exists in the first place, just because its zany and funny and he wanted to. and i love that

So, fun fact:

John Constantine got a transfusion of some demonic blood to repair his injuries at one point (since the demon needed him healthy to complete a certain task), and it left some lasting effects on his body/soul.

I don’t yet have a single specific plot idea for how to have it contribute to the plot of a DPxDC crossover fic, but i feel like it could absolutely do something.

Like maybe it’s treated similarly to resurrection by Lazarus Water and leaves him a type of unhealthy liminal, but since this is demonic in nature, the corruption’s effects/treatment are way different from Lazarus stuff.

Or maybe it makes him just inhuman enough to fall slightly under the Ghost King’s control, leading to him being dragged into ghostly politics by that.

Or maybe he actually dies and becomes a ghost, but the blood makes him into a sorta half-ghost half-demon entity. Though the soul contracts would likely muddy the water even further with any “dying” stuff…

If you're in the US and you're concerned about Palestine, leave US Jews alone, and start asking your local evangelist how much money their christian church sends annually to support the genocide being committed by the state of israel.

This has been rattling around in my head for the past month.

Also it’s been over a decade since the last time I drew an axolotl!!

Pac: Oh man, what is this, what is this, what is this man? Where can I buy this? [Slaps his desk] I'll buy two.

Pac: [Laughs] It's very good man, very good. "I love you, Fítche!" [Laughs] You're going to think the worst, this is the worst phrasing you could think of. Like, I mean– a guy might say 'I love being fit, I love go to the gym,' but it was a certain way… I don't know, in English it seems wrong, right? "I love you, Fίtche" I don't know if that makes sense, right? Because it would have to be "I love fitness," right? There should be the 'ness' there at the end, right? Or am I crazy? My understanding of English there should have been an 'ness' at the end, right?

Okay we all know that Eddie was (is) a Garfield kid, based on the multiple Garfield mugs that we’ve seen hanging in the trailer.

But I am absolutely making Steve a Winnie the Pooh kid. Because just look at Christopher Robin and tell me that the little lonely polo shirt wearing boy is not the core of Steve Harrington.

Just look!

That is little Steve Harrington no question about it.

Shut up we’re combining the fixations once again

OKAY BUT MILES AS THE DOCTOR?? He definitely would have watched Doctor Who with Gregory and then would have started watching it again when the new series started in 2005 as a way to think about his dad now that his dad’s been gone for 4 years

AND BAD THINGS ALWAYS HAPPEN ON CHRISTMAS IN DOCTOR WHO AND THERE’S DL-6 SO

And hey he can have a British accent in this :)

So question for all the non-Americans in my follower base, do you guys have a group of historical figures that your country’s culture associates with patriotism to the point they’re almost deified? Like in America, we have the Founding Fathers, and I feel like every American knows all about that whole group, along with a sort of mythos surrounding them (like Ben Franklin’s key on the kite or Washington’s Cherry Tree or even Lincoln’s Log Cabin, although thats technically real).

Do other countries have that for their historical figures?

Mini rant here. Very mini, I have to sleep.

Buck only became a favorite character of mine in season 4. I liked him before, but I never got the hype of why everyone was all over him.

I hated how the Bddie fandom treated Buck. I started not being able to read a lot of fanfics because it was just too much to slog through the infantilization, the feminization, the worship that came at a detriment to the other characters and the rest of the fandom. The racism and villainizing towards Eddie was at a high in some fics because of the uwufication of Buck.

All I wanted was to read about Buck and Eddie (back then). All I wanted was to read about a 33 year old man, not a 33 year old man portrayed as no more than a 12-15 year old in emotional or mental maturity.

I thought that the BuckTommy side would be better. We’re older here (I say as one of the younger ones) and with a more general understanding of how adults behave. I thought it would be better. And it is. I know that I can freely read fanfics without as many filters as before.

But I’ve seen a fair amount of the same here. A lot of people just aren’t…normal about Buck.

I guess every fandom has their source of projection. Buck has a tractor beam on him for that, I guess.

He’s still infantilized so much in this corner of the fandom. And I’ve seen a lot of it hidden behind the term “brat”, a term that is used quite frequently concerning Buck. Now I personally hate it, but that’s just me. I don’t like the term because of what I found it represents.

Now this is not universal, of course. I still love the BuckTommy community and the creative works that come out of it are some of the best I’ve ever had the pleasure of enjoying. A fair amount of the creators that use the term “brat” still manage to make a well rounded adult in their works.

But I’ve also seen way too many people use it to mask the fandom-typical infantilization.

Typing this, I’m thinking of all the fandoms I’ve seen similar cases in.

Idk what the point of this even is. I’m not really trying to gatekeep what is and isn’t created or discussed in the fandom.

I’m just begging people to start treating Evan Buckley like the damn adult he is. It’s nauseating to read a fic where I’m ten years younger than Buck yet his emotional and mental maturity is on the level of that of my brother in his early teens.

Jason Todd being Tim's Robin in fanon stems from trying to make sense of the wacky timeline bullshit created by the writers doing their best to entirely erase Jason Todd. It's why Dick is Tim's favorite Robin. Dick was Robin from when Tim was 4-10, the longer amount of time, so he still could have been Tim's favorite Robin regardless, but it's also. The writers really really hated that little boy.
