Mass Effect Trilogy Appreciation Week - Day 5
Wake up, soldier. No time to rest. Not yet. Thatâs it. Yes, everything hurts, but you have to ignore it. Get up. You still have a job to do. There you go. Well done. Chest hurts, probably broken ribs. Vision fuzzy, cybernetics are acting up. In arms and legs too. Bio amp fried. Doesnât matter. Grab your gun. Get going. Straight ahead. Good. Keep moving. Must. Keep. Moving. Come on, soldier. Itâs not that far. Youâre almost there. What is it, a hundred meters? You had to run kilometers with heavy gear in boot. This is nothing. Just one foot in front of the other. The beam is right there. You can make it. You will make it. You have to. For everyone. Everyone who died for this. Kaidan. Mordin. Thane. Legion. Every soldier whose names you didnât get to learn. They sacrificed everything for this. For you. You canât let it go to waste. And you have to do it for everyone still alive. The trillions in the galaxy. For Earth. For the Normandy. Everyone you know and love. Tali. Garrus.
Liara.
Thatâs it, think about her. You have to save her. Let that drive you. Whatâs a few broken ribs? Your limbs still work. You can walk. You can fight. You will reach that beam. You will get to the Citadel. You will activate the Crucible. You will stop the Reapers. If not for yourself, then for them. For her. You knew this was most likely a one-way trip. You already said your goodbyes. Youâve been living a borrowed life for the last two years. You were literally built for this. Stop the Reapers. Save Liara. She kept you going through so much. Let her do it one last time. Incoming Husks. Focus on aiming. Good shooting, but no time to rest. Youâre coming out of shock. Get ready to take full control. Just a few more meters to the beam. A few steps, then the Citadel, then saving Liara. Watch out, marauder behind the wreckage. Itâs injured, you can take it out. Very good. There you are, coming back to yourself. Just in time. Just up this ramp. You made it. Good work, soldier.
You can rest soon.
#trilogyweek2025#mass effect#I hope the style isn't too choppy for readability#I felt like these shorter sentences portray the semi-lucid/shocked feeling of the last crawl towards the beam at the end of me3#the pov 'character' is shep's inner monologue in this one#I imagine it as an amalgam voice of everyone she lost plus her own voice#similar to the nightmare voices but more of an amalgam#and yeah this shep has some fucked up feelings about the lazarus project stuff#get told that someone spent a literal fortune on rebuilding you and then everyone keeps saying the galaxy relies on you and you alone#gonna have some effects#who knows maybe shep can get some therapy if they make it through somehow#god knows they need it#tomorrow is gonna be a lot less angsty (I actually already have it written through the wonders of insomnia)#I can make no promises for last day though#and there's definitely gonna be some angst next week :3#lao does a writing

Prompt 136
 There is a small child floating in the Watchtower.Â
Theyâre visibly not human, a too-big cloak of purple (what shade no one knows, all they can describe about the cloak is purple, nothing else) hanging from them as big Lazarus-green eyes glare down in something of a pout. The child huffs, blowing white hair out of their face despite it shimmering and shifting on its own already.Â
How the child, inhuman or not, found their way into the Watchtower- without setting off an alarm no less- is a concern. A very large concern, but it can wait because there is a four-year old (if the child is the equivalent of a human child that is) at oldest staring down at them.Â
 âDo you know where the speedsters are?â the child piped up after an awkward stare-down, none of the league members present quite sure what to do in this situation. It was probably around time to call Batman⊠or they could call Flash instead.Â
#dcxdp#dpxdc#prompts#Lil Time-Student Danny: The speedsters keep making Pops sick >:/#Danny sneaking out to yell at the speedsters:#The JL who have no idea whatâs going on#If Danny starts crying theyâre gonna panic#How did Danny become a child?#Well there was an explosion and death and he didnât want to go with Vlad#But staying in the Clocktower for so long has effects#Plus Clockwork had already claimed him as his ghostling#Some days Danny is younger and sometimes heâs his normal 14 years of age#Bonus on if the time medallion in his chest is now visible similar to Clockworkâs clock#He's just a lil baby ghostling whose parent keeps getting Really sick and he's scared#Gonna yell or punch at the people tearing through time and hurtin his dad#Whos gonna stop him#FK is too busy gathering medicine and tea for CW#The remaining observants are hoping Phantom gets stuck somewhere so they don't have to deal with the baby Ancient

Aw shit they put the horrors of late stage capitalism into my PokĂ©mon Mystery Dungeon đ
(Mostly) Based on the mouthwashing dev QnA about each characterâs favorite PokĂ©mon. Couldnât get the idea of throwing them into PMD out of my head.
Typical job at the Poke Express Guild:
Some more bonus drawings below
Jimmy secretly wishes he was a mega rayquaza but heâs just a poser whoâs obsessed with pikachuâs popularity and position as the mascot. So. A mimikyu.
Daisuke is a zorua because itâs the closest to weregarurumon and I think it matches his vibes. Just a guy who causes a little bit o mischief here n there :)
I did make Daisukes weregarurumon wishes come true (No mega rayquaza for jim)
I couldnât figure out what I wanted to do with the background so I threw them into the dungeon. WOE upon ye
#i have some other sketches for this idea. either gonna throw them in a reblog or a new post#anyway had a lot of fun with this. yippeeee :)#mouthwashing#curly mouthwashing#captain curly#anya mouthwashing#swansea mouthwashing#daisuke mouthwashing#jimmy mouthwashing#pokemon#pokemon mystery dungeon#pmd#ANYWAY can i talk about how FITTING each characters favorite pokemon are#like curly chooses the safe popular/uncontroversial option. which parallels his approach to being a captain#jimmy likes the OP broken pokemon because hes obsessed with asserting power and control over other people#glaceon honestly just kinda has anyaâs vibes. but also competitively: glaceon can hit hard when used effectively but has low defenses#and on the ship anya has to think more strategically and make sure she hits hard where it counts (moving the gun safe; locking the door)#swansea: dogy :)#<-in all seriousness: itâs a more obscure option that you might not really expect from someone like him#but also herdier is a very loyal pokemon that *wont listen to people it doesnt respect* which I think does fits swansea#daisuke choses something unconventional thatâs only kinda related to the question (a digimon)#which I think is interesting considering how heâs having trouble fitting into otherâs expectations for him. he knows what he likes but itâs#not what others expect of him. in a way#man iâm not very good at articulating this stuff but AUUGGHHGHG right?#MAN its such a great question for subtly revealing some of a characters personality#AUGH#i GOTTA figure out how to format stuff better lol#myart

Ghost Chirps AU Part 5
Part 1 & 2
Part 3
Part 4
***
While âJasonâ (i.e. Alfred with an empty jet that Jason will meet up with later in order to âarriveâ in Amity) hops a private jet, Red Hood is busy searching the Fenton home from top to bottom.
The local police move slowly, and by the time they arrive Jack and Maddie Fenton are both tied up and disarmed in their living room under heavy guard.
They hadnât been restrained immediately, Batman talking him into giving them a chance to implicate themselves first.
Hood let him take the lead, but he didnât even get a chance to ask a question, being cut off at the first indication he might want to talk about their âwork.â Less than 60 seconds in, and the pair had outright confessed to violating the meta protection acts - and in tedious detail.
The questioning didnât suffer any from them being tied up.
Far from the mulish silence or crocodile-tear laden denial of most criminals, they instead doubled down, insisting that nothing they had done was illegal, then jumping to the assumption that they were âpossessedâ - and boy had it been a nasty surprise when the whole house came alive trying to attack them with a quick verbal command.
Well, trying to attack Hood. And only him, for some reason.
One laser also freed the Fentons, who turned out to have even more weapons built into their suits.Â
Somehow.Â
Despite them being skintight.
That had been a pain, but Red Robin was able to hack the system using one of the couplesâ own devices while Hood dodged - and kept the stray fire away from the others - leaving everyone else to recapture the pair. A blessedly simple task once they found out the lasers would splash harmlessly off of their armor (save for a gross film of green goop left wherever they grazed).
They take turns knocking each unconscious to change them in order to properly disarm them - Batman and Nightwing taking Jack first, followed by Orphan and Spoiler dealing with Maddie.Â
The only non-weapon laden clothing they own turns out to be pajamas.Â
This is around when the police show up, looking hesitant.
They, too, cite the âAnti-Ecto Acts.â
Oracle had debriefed them on the supposed Acts and âGhost Investigation Wardâ on their short drive over. Both were utterly bogus - the Acts had never even been proposed, let alone been approved as law, and the so-called âGIWâ had no ties to the government.
The Fentons had been furious and denied the information intensely when told, but the cops mostly just looked relieved.
Apparently thereâd been a lot of property damage by the GIW and Fentons both that had supposedly been dismissed under the Acts as ânecessary in the pursuit of ecto-scum.â
For the Fentons, half of this damage was in the form of broken fire hydrants, cracked sidewalks, and totaled cars - theyâd never been good drivers, before, the cops disclosed, but theyâd become even more negligent since the ghosts began appearing, to the point they had to have a news segment warning when they would be on the road.
The lack of fatalities thus far had been nothing short of a miracle, they claimed.
âOf course there havenât been any fatalities!â Mrs Fenton defends. âOur work is to protect people from those things, not make more! Officers, listen to reason-â Hood snorts disdainfully -âThe Red Hood is clearly a ghost! All our systems targeted him the moment they came online - and they only target ecto-entities. Heâs clearly taken these heroes under his sway - why else would they be working with a murderer!? You have to do something before he starts up his killing here in Amity!â
The officers look at him a bit hesitantly, but Batman is unmoved and gives the cover story Hood had outlined back in the alley.
Any concerns the locals have are quickly assuaged.
But for the whole explanation, Jason is trying not to shake even as he falls apart in place.
Their little website called them ghost-hunters, making it pretty clear what âecto-entitiesâ meant.Â
Their system supposedly only targets ecto-entities.
The system had only targeted him.
The system only targets ghosts.
Jason had died.
A lot of his family members had died, too, granted.Â
But Jason was the only one who seemed to come back wrong - anger sticking in his throat and never quite fading, an inclination towards violence even when he wasnât angry well beyond what heâd ever felt before, and a sea of other emotions (that he would never acknowledge aloud) and triggers for those emotions that he always struggled to make heads or tails of.
He doesnât have the meta gene. He knows that. He knew that.
He just assumed that the test missed it, because he knows he doesnât know magic - the All Blades being the only exception - and he couldnât think of another explanation at the time.
But he came back wrong.
And as he stands there, he wonders if he came back at all, mind on Solomon Grundy.
Wonders if he isnât just some ghost, wandering around possessing his own corpse.
He jolts, as the thought strikes him: what about Danny?
If heâs a ghost and chirping is a ghost thing then what about his KID!?
Absently, he notes that Bruce has started interrogating the cops on what they meant by âghost attacks.âÂ
He ignores the discussion, hustling for the door in the kitchen down to the lab.
He slams and locks the door behind him - in Red Robinâs face - as he descends, making a b-line for the computer heâd seen when the Fentons had dragged them all down there to start bragging about their crimes.
The only thing Oracle could get out of the whole building was things that were openly available online; direct connections were impossible.
Opening up the screen, he gets to cracking.
Going for the surface level files first, it turns out he doesnât even need so much as a password to find what he wants.
One of the video game sub-files has an unrelated file in it: ghost notes.
There are plenty of other notes, of course, but heâd only been skimming to start, looking for anything hidden.
The Fenton parents were too open to bother, of course, with plenty of more obvious files strewn haphazardly across the home screen, but itâs always better to check. That there is a hidden file means it was likely made by either Danny or Jazz.
And itâs a treasure trove.
Sub-files for rogues, allies, conditional allies, and âhalfasâ were what greeted him.
The last being the only term he didnât recognize, he clicked.
6 files: Clones, Danny, Dani, Dan, Vlad, and Red Hood.
He clicks his own file.
What greets him is a picture of himself 4 days ago, looking just to the left of the lens in an alley that he distinctly remembers searching for the kid in.
Just below is text.
~~~
??? Name: Red Hood
Species: probably a halfa
Status: Nnnneutral? I think? I know, I know, heads in bags. But Valerie tries to kill me all the time! And weâre allies sometimes! Hood- uh- looked for me? Okay I guess I canât really judge this yet but please read the first met section before you judge please you guys?
First met: Aug 17, 2005, was in Gotham to bother Batman, stopped to think a bit on some fire escape - decide on the first prank yknow - but then my ghost sense went off. It felt like a halfa so I thought âoh cool, must be Daniâ so I chirped, but then Red Hood - who was chasing some guy down an alley at the time - froze and looked around. I dropped visibility and chirped again and yeah, he definitely heard it. Humans canât so heâs definitely a halfa - no glow so he canât be a full ghost and it felt nothing like an overshadowing.Â
Ended up following Hood around the rest of week - forgot to prank Batman, damn - and playing hide-and-seek with the chirps. It was really funny. But he very obviously doesnât know heâs a halfa. But the guy is, like, scary levels of smart, so Iâm sure heâll figure it out on his own now that the chirp thing made it clear that something is up. Hopefully.
I figure I can go back in winter break - he should have it figured out and let his emotions process enough by then to at least hear me out when I explain the AEA and GIW and everything, then it wonât matter so much if he can, like, track me by voice or something if I talk since weâll have MAD by then.
Despite his reputation, the people living in his haunt seem to love the guy. I can see why. On top of the whole smart heâs actually really nice to people heâs not shooting in the knees (which only even happened one time in the week I was there? It was actually pretty relaxing - most quiet week Iâve had since the portal opened THANK YOU TUCKER for hacking the portal hatch to be inoperable for a week).Â
Where was I? Oh yeah, heâs actually surprisingly nice to people? So like, I think heâll probably hear me out if I go back and be polite? I hope. Hate to leave the guy in the dark and him end up on the GIWs dissection table for âlots and lots of painful experiments.â
Not that those guys could even catch the Box Ghost. But uh, Hood doesnât seem to have powers either? Or if he does he doesnât know about them I donât think - he only used the chirp the whole time I was their - not even to cheat with moving around.
Seriously. That guy's acrobatics could make Freakshowâs contortionist green - er, red??? - with envy. Actually wait, arenât contortionists and acrobats different things?
SAM NOTE: help^?
Powers:Â
?
~~~
Jason leans back, breathing deeply.
âNot a full ghost,â ânot 'overshadowed'â - a term that sounds likke some kind of cousin to possesision - âdefinitely a halfa,â âhumans canât hear chirps.â
Halfa.Â
Half.Â
Ghost.Â
Half Ghost.
It should sound absurd - you canât be half alive and half dead.
But Jason has seen the Lazarus pits, has met Solomon Grundy, has met aliens and bullshit magic and can pull magical swords out of his own damn chest.
Half alive. Half dead.
Hopefully not just a fancy way to say possessing his own corpse.
He doesnât have time to deal with every file - heâll âconfiscateâ one of their USBs with a copy of everything for himself before leaving the rest to Batman & co, of course, minus the halfa files (a small part of him wants to shove his condition in Bruceâs face and demand he kill the clown again even though he knows itâs a futile hope, but the rest - the same part that snapped and denied and refused to say he was a meta less that a day ago now - cannot stomach the thought of even more rejection. Of a Bruce that believes heâs a monster. Of a Bruce that mourns him even while heâs right there. Or at least, more than he already does.) - but while the files copy he take the time to look at Dannyâs.
The image has two people, Danny Fenton on one side and a version of the kid in a black hazmat suit with white hair, tanned skin, and painfully familiar green eyes. And floating.
~~~
Human Name: Danny Fenton
Ghost Name: Danny Phantom
Species: Halfa (half-human, half ghost)
~~~
Itâs the section after that that makes Jasonâs breath catch in his throat.
~~~
Death: The Portal Accident
So like, there was no audio (thank GOD I do not want to hear myself screaming) so. Details: When the portal didnât work when they plugged it in mom and dad left for fudge, Jazz went to try and talk them into a more realistic career choice than ghosts. Sam and Tucker came over and Sam dared me to climb in and check it out - it was broken anyway so no harm. Except it wasnât broken, just that my parents put the on button inside. Which I caught myself on when I tripped on a wire.
Anyway, electrocution!Â
(T - Danny for the love of god be more serious, the cheerful tone is creepy)
(D - Hey! Iâm the one who died! Shouldnât I at least get to write my own epitaph)
(S - âŠDanny this is not an epitaph. You donât even HAVE a grave)
(D - wow way to rub it in Sam)
(T - yeah Sam)
(S - ugh! Whatever, just stop with the chatting in official files)
(T - âofficialâ)
(S - Tucker.)
(T - shutting up now)
Electrocution! I got zapped to death, but the ectoplasm from the portal was also opening up on top of me and a lot got bonded to me I guess (S - probably because of the electricity with how you ended up with some of Vortex' powers for a little while) at the same time said electricity was reviving me? - probably getting my heart beating again or something, I was a little busy screaming to pay attention (T - yeah okay we're going to Nasty Burger after this. And playing Doomed) - not that it wouldâve mattered without the ghostification preventing me from melting me all the way to death.
Status: Me!
Powers:
Chirps! (ghost echolocation of some kind! humans can't hear em - halfas can, of course, in either form)
Form Change (really Sam? This barely counts)
Human form
Ghost form (no need to breathe)
Flight (last clock speed 210mph) (T - and climbing. Dang dude)
Invisibility (S - donât forget shareable.) (Shareable. sigh)
Intangibility (Shareable)
Ecto Rays (eyes & hands) (T - and butt) (D - dude! Iâm deleting that. Tucker why can't I delete it. TUCKER) (T - bow down in awe of my ksill) (S - ksill) (D - ksill) (T - yeah okay itâs permanent now) (D - aw man!)
Ghost Sense (S - why do we never test your range?) (D - no need? They always make themselves obvious or are being sneaky specifically to annoy me so *shrug*) (S - I still think we should test it)
Power Absorption (that time with Vortexâs weather powers)
Cryokinesis (Wayyyyy to much ice. NOT testing max output on that) (T - yeah frozen city was enough, letâs not cause an ice age. Tech needs some cool but too much is still bad and I just upgraded Patricia)
Ghostly Wail (cone of destruction, very exhausting - always at max output. Not to be used)
GHOST FORM ONLY (but really just never)
Cartoon Body (D - what???) (S - Freakshow literally turned you into a puddle and you just turned back and were fine. I donât know what else to call that) (D - okay fair. but:)
GHOST FORM ONLY
Physical Enhancement (better strength, speed, stamina, durability, reflexes, balance, etc much better than human) (T - why does this look like dnd knockoff stats haha)
GHOST FORM ONLY (S - obviously mr last place in PE)
Resistances (pretty solid on the overshadowing, avoided being taken in by Ember until targeted, didnât get turned to stone during the Medusa thing) (S - which was pure luck! Be careful!)
Ecto Electricity (ghost stinger, but I really donât think this counts Sam. I mean I just. Make my ecto zappy. But itâs still just ecto) (S - so is your ICE and you donât just call that "just cold ecto") (D - fine, but it feels overly specific) (S - maybe writing it all down will make you stop. Forgetting. POWERS!) (D - come on Sam that was a lucky hit! I was distracted! And it turned out fine!) (S - FentonâŠ) (D - oop okay doing fire now)
Ecto Fire (made Dashâs shoes melty that one time by make the ecto hot) (T - really needs more testing)
Tech possession (chasing Technus into computers, not very tested)
Ghost form only, i guess?
Overshadowing (control people, copy their voice, invade dreams - the control one erases the personâs memory so they donât know they were overshadowed just lost time. I hate Walker. SO much) (T - rip Dannyâs reputation, youâll be missed)
Probably ghost form only
Duplication (T - Thatâs optimistic) (D - IâM WORKING ON IT OKAY!?) (S - pretty sure it just falls under cartoon body until you can actually separate) (D - :( betrayal)
Probably ghost form only
More? (D - ugh I hope not) (T - hey donât say that, maybe youâll get a power to make the JL give a crap about Amity) (D - honestly Iâm getting pretty close to letting Boxy loose in Gotham) (S - Danny, donât stoop to their level!) (D - it's only box ghost!) (T - I mean he has a point)
~~~
Jason changes his mind, seeing the commentary, and deletes the entire hidden file from the computer as soon as his copy is made. He can go over everything and bring any important info to Bruce separately, the batâs can just chew on the parentsâ files for now.
Once the original files are thoroughly and irretrievably removed he pockets his shiny new USB, makes a second one with all the official files, and heads back up and out - carelessly brushing past a thoroughly irate Red Robin with a pair of firemen and broken jaws of life. And not a scratch on the door; impressive - just in time to get Oracleâs text that heâs got 2 hours and 16 minutes to be at the location on his HUD so he can âarriveâ to Amity.
And a fresh set of civilian clothes will be waiting in the plane, Alfred as reliable as ever.
âFiles,â he says, tossing the safe USB to Batman and interrupting his interrogation of the police officer.
He catches it effortlessly of course, but the officer stops paying attention to him to jolt at Hoodâs reappearance - even outside of Gotham his reputation is fierce.
âI sent a copy to myself. Iâll review them and give you an overview, but other than that consider this the end of my involvement in this little shitshow,â he says, continuing smoothly to the door. âIâm heading back to Gotham.â
Now, he has a little over two hours before Jason Todd needs to arrive in Amity Park. He only needs to lay hands on a laptop that he can isolate from Babsâ influence and he should be able to review the Halfa files in full before he "lands" - after he figures out just why the kid has a grudge against the JL.
#The defenses only attacked jason because the others are liminal#But not quite liminal enough for the Fenton House to pick up on#Heâs the only one who died and had it really *stick* thus why heâs the only halfa#Sure the others died but they were all revived fully#Death left a stain#Not a chain#Jason has one foot in the grave#The others batâs just have some graveyard dirt smudged on their pants cuffs#I can keep going with the metaphors#lol#Anyway#Their contamination is. Like. not worse than the average person living on the opposite side of the city as the Fentons#(which is a lot compared to everyone else in the whole world#but not much in terms of âwill the house shoot meâ#Fenton ghost detecting devices arenât that precise yet)#The âfilesâ arenât super professional because like. Theyâre 14.#Itâs organized sure but itâs not gonna be scientific paper levels (& theyâd feel uncomfy making it too scientific sounding)#Thereâs powers missing on purpose (not thinking of thing as a power. All 3 forgot about it. Etc)#So why did the JL ignore Amity you ask?#Info blackout#One does not simply ignore the Meta Protection Acts and pretend to be a govât agency without taking precautions#Everything out of Amity Park is sanitized as hell. (ha#and doesnât that just fit the GIW clean-obsession)#âBut Mutable!â I hear you cry âWhat about Undergrowth & Vortex!â#I donât remember Undergrowthâs radius of effect but Iâm saying my AU he was Amity-only and the GIW set up a blockade to intimidate witnesse#Same deal with Pariah town-knapping the place (GIW base was JUST out of the town-knapping radius. Lucky them)#As for Vortex#the storms themselves made it impossible to track anything through normal means#(ie no cams caught Sam & Tuckerâs jet taunting Vortex except some people with cells on the street. But wind killed all the audio)#So as far as the world is concerned there was a freak storm and it went away

I get why people would think it but
Colin is NOT a rake. Colin is a young man trying to figure out his identity and what he likes sexually and trying to understand what the men of his society talk about and do. He's not out here messing around with women just to string them along and then leave them. He's trying to fit in and has been made fun of for being a virgin so yeah, he rectifies that by having sex, but just because he slept with a few women, that doesn't make him a rake? You wanna know who an actual rake in the series is?
Fife.
Because what the fuck happened to Miss Goring? I think about her sometimes and my heart aches for her. Her first season out, she's an 18 year old woman, and an older, titled man of her society who she assumes to be a proper gentleman makes her believe their relationship can actually be something, messes around with her the entire season, and then fucks her in a linen closet at a ball only to....what? Come back the next year with absolutely no mention of her whatsoever. Did she get pregnant? Was sent off in disgrace? Have to marry someone else?
Fife is a 30 year old man who has a bad habit of hounding after young, vulnerable women in his society. He fucks them and leaves them. He's a rake. Colin? Colin is not even close to that. Say what you will about the brothel scenes, but that IS the responsible place for a man of his time to go to for sex. Please stop demonizing sex work. Yes, many of these women are in that line of work because of less than savory reasons, but Colin is not taking advantage of them. He is paying for a service and they are providing that service. It is transactional, and he is the LEAST of their concerns in terms of clientele. A kind, handsome man who pays well and is discrete? Yeah, they're fine with him.
Colin has a history of respecting women. He respected Marina all throughout their courtship, and even after. I know some people sneer at him coming to see Marina, but please keep in mind she is a woman on her own who married a stranger far away from ANYONE who knew her. Colin was worried about Daphne when she came to him, asking if anything happened when she was away and clearly ready to fight for her, so of course he's worried about Marina. Partly he visits her for his own closure, but also like....y'all that's a WELLNESS visit. He's concerned that she's unhappy, but ultimately leaves because she's not hurt and that she tells him to. Colin listens to 'no' from the women around him. He asks for permission from them. He waited for Penelope's consent sexually, but he also didn't even get into the carriage until she allowed him. He even asks "Please, let me in".
Colin lives in a time when women do not have many rights, and he listens to the women around him even more than the men. He is the only one of his siblings to ask for his mum's advice and immediately takes it and takes action. He brings Eloise back a feminist text from his travels, even after she's besmirched as a radical, because he supports her pursuits. In season 2, he also knew of her going to the printers and didn't say anything. He has always respected and cared for Penelope. He hasn't insulted a single woman in his vicinity. He doesn't make the women he flirts with feel bad about themselves, or feel less, but compliments them, all whilst keeping respectable distance so as not to make them think he's interested in marrying them. He doesn't dance with any woman but Penelope in that season.
Colin isn't a rake. He's not a fuckboy. He's trying to act like he is, emulating the circle of his society, but that doesn't mean he is. I swear people just WANT to misinterpret him because that's the easiest way, but Colin is a character who doesn't lend well to surface level readings. He's a nuanced, gentle hearted character who has been looked down on for his sensitivity. He's a deeply relatable person because who of us haven't pretended to be accepted? Especially if we've been bullied or excluded. I know I have. Put on a persona for the sake of survival. And he does so for what? A few weeks? That does not a fuckboy make.
Just say you don't want to understand him and move along because those of us who get him GET HIM. And I'm grateful for a character like Colin.
He's the best man in the series by an entire mile and you can't change my mind about that.
#Colin Bridgerton#Polin#Penelope Featherington#Bridgerton#Marina Thompson#Eloise Bridgerton#At this point I'm convinced y'all are just mad that he's the only white boy in this entire show with an upper lip#And Imma call out the Anthony and Benedict Stans because y'all are the ones fuming about Colin#he's the only man I would ever even think of being in a relationship with out of the bunch#This is the peeta effect all over again: decent good men are demonized or looked down on because y'all have some unhealed trauma#The bad boy trope has rotted your brains#I've been with the bad boys who don't listen or who see you as their 'exception'- youre not the exception for long#Anyways Colin makes me go heart eyes#Always and forever gonna love him#Pen nabbed herself the best man in the series good for her

#xmen#xmen comics#krakoa#magneto#ok fine logan can get a tag too. this IS his story after all ja/lkLAJVEAVKLJ#wolverine#snap scans#i should read the rest of this run but its like 47 issues i think so. gonna take some time with that#spliced up the panels so its easier to look at everything. and so i can frame drunk passed out erik on my wall#someone uploaded some of the first page some time ago but 1.) i forgot to rb it 2.) it didnt include the rest of the scene#it ESP didnt include erik fallin face first on the table and his lil sleepin face on the next page like please im gettin cuteness aggressio#im so miffed that these are printed on the same page cause i woulda framed this spread otherwise like PLEASE#this shit got me GIGGLING SO BAD i cant. 'dare i say it .......' he's so unnecessary i love him so much#he's so silly ..... also someone said it best in that whenever erik's drawn like a bug it's the best thing#like look at him. that's a beetle. that's my little beetle and i love him i need to put him in a terrarium and watch him#honestly theres a LOT of things i have scanned and wanna share however i have to do it. Reasonably so to speak#in that i dont want to accidentally drown out all my doodling with comic scans jvEALKVJEAKL#maybe i'll do it sandwich style ... art -> scan -> art -> scan etc etc#that does remind me i have a doodle i wanted to do today. so maybe ill do that and share another thing i got scanned ....#unfortunately i do very much love reading the comics. a troublesome thing cause theres so much i wanna share and talk about#like from this issue too i love how hank describes what charles' mutation feels like#its not a grand thing but i love it whenever charles' telepathy is described and how it effects him physiologically#maybe hank was just Theorizing what it feels like but still ... i love that insight so much .....#i'll share that quote another time- i prob won't scan the page cause it's just a text log but i will say it was from here dont worry#ok ive rambled long enough BYE im gonna go draw charles

ladies, I need to wander despondently across a foggy moor asap
#*this also applies to the not-ladies among us#y'all deserve a good pensive ramble across a moor in a really cool greatcoat#just be sure you don't turn it into anything vigorous#this is not the time to be Aragorn we are looking for Jonathan Harker pre-Dracula at best#in regards to the moor: a wind-swept cliffside would also be suffice#it would NOT do wonders for my health of course but hey#fortunately the bestie and I have plans to go hiking next weekend and if we don't have another option I'm gonna beg for the hemlock trail#I'd also take the cedar springs#I just need Nature that isn't the beach#in other news I am happy to report that the week is smoothing itself out somewhat#we're all still on edge but it's not as bad as it was and we've effectively kicked loose the pebble in the the shoe#my darling sister sent me a gift and told me to treat myself so I may get bubble tea after work#and I begged for tomorrow off so I can sleep and then spend the day coughing in peace#(this is such a bizarre cold. I didn't get any of the preliminaries outside of some sneezing)#(and then it was straight to my chest. not even a sore throat first! usually I get a lot of build up and can often get ahead of a bad cough#(thankfully my nose is not congested. I suppose that's the trade-off)#so I'll sleep in and then I may sort some of the filing I'm taking home from the office#by then I'll likely have completely lost my voice#AND I have ingredients for chili because for once I planned ahead. might even make some of my favorite rolls as well.#and then next week...I start a second job#(super simple and it's 2 hours max every evening. once I figure it out it could be an hour tops unless I decide to take it slow)#(the pay is great for the job and it'll give me something to do instead of just...I dunno...reading through the winter I suppose)#(sorry my head is in such a fog I don't know how I'm surviving work)#mine#greatest hits

eloise for my fellow gremlin girlie @myokk!! so happy to have your beautiful traditional art in this fandom and that i got to see clora in it as well đđđand since it was your art of clora that inspired me to do the HL charas in ghibli style, ofc i had to give eloise the same treatment đ„° (and ive discovered that drawing fat puffy braids in ghibli style is SOOO satisfying, highly recommendđđđ)
#btw yall ART IS GONNA BE A BIT SLOWER LATELY bc im playing the elden ring dlc LMAOO...its all i wanna do after i finish workđ©#my wips staring at me like đżđż while i die to the same boss for the 30th time instead of working on them BAHAHA anyway#I HOPE I DID ELOISE JUSTICE!! i remember reading in one of your posts that eloises downturned eyes are one of your fav things about her#which is something i remembered at the last minute and redid her eyes at the last second BAHHAA#which also made me realize that my instinct is to draw characters with upturned and sharper eyes#part of me also wanted to draw her traditional as well but i dont have my pens so instead HAVE SOME PSEUDO SKETCHY LINES#IT KINDA GIVES THE EFFECT BAHAH CLOSE ENOUGH#eloise babbit#hogwarts legacy mc

Does Donnie have any feelings about how heâs able to walk on water, and also can he choose not to? It must suck for a turtle not being able to swim if not :(
Also how often does he dance?
Would Mikey dance with him? (Cause I think Mikey was once described in the show to be a good ballet dancer)
he can choose not to and he can still swim! walking on the water feels totally natural and normal to him-- someone would have to point it out to him before he'd start to question it.
also, he spends tons of time dancing! hours every day are dedicated purely to ballet. partially because, even before he became the guardian of the lake, it was one of his favorite hobbies. and partially because he feels compelled to by the lake itself. in terms of mikey--
absolutely they dance together.
#they love to dance together#they used to all the time even before this#not gonna stop now#mikey is quote unquote a âmaster of balletâ after all#and when they were little he just happened to manage to rope donnie into it#donnie DOES love to dance#well established u w u#fun fact#mikey is the only other character in the universe who would have been susceptible to the lake's curse#leo or raph wouldnt have been effected by it#but if mikey had gone to the lake instead of donnie for some reason#HE would have become to guardian#anyway#swanatello#donniesona#pb and j#rottmnt donnie#rottmnt mikey#rottmnt donatello#rottmnt michelangelo#rottmnt#rottmnt au

I donât know how to explain any more clearly that it doesnât MATTER if it seems legitimate to you. You have got to fact check every single headline and post and claim on the left just like you need to do on the right.
The left is NOT immune to misinformation and rushed reporting. And the more emotionally polarizing or shocking the talking points, sound bytes, and headlines are, the worse it is and more frequently it happens.
Learn to verify through multiple independent sources. If you canât do that, you canât trust it.
If you have to wait extra hours for the real information to come through vetted channelsâNOT just one individual somewhere everyone links to, and not just one single media source either, EVEN if itâs a major news networkâthats just how it has to be. What news outside of genuine local disasters near you TRULY needs your outrage and post-sharing in the next hour specifically?
Misinformation works best by not seeming like misinformation and by fitting in with the rest of what you already expect to see. It doesnât help anyone to not be able to recognize and avoid the stuff.
#hey little star whatcha gonna queue?#and before I get any angry anons saying Iâm making the argument that both sides are the same#I am not. and nowhere did I say that#and if your immediate reaction to any amount of criticism of leftist spaces or communication#is knee jerk outrage and defensiveness#this is an invitation to explore why that is for you.#this isnât about anyone on here this is from conversations Iâve had with a few people IRL who have shared leftist misinformation a lot#so if youâre feeling attacked by this post and I havenât directly spoken to you multiple times about misinformation with you responding bac#this isnât. a vague post. about you. okay?#I cannot reiterate enough THIS IS AFTER IRL INTERACTIONS NOT A CAL OUT VAGUEPOST#and as one final note. IF YOU FOLLOW PEOPLE. WHO CONSTANTLY USE. THE MOST INFLAMMATORY WORDING CHOICES POSSIBLE.#YOU SHOULD NOT FOLLOW THOSE PEOPLE NO MATTER WHAT THEY TALK ABOUT.#no one communicating in true good faith to ALL PEOPLE about facts uses loaded language more than occasionally#the sooner you learn that the better. and that really starts narrowing down the pool of who you want to actually listen to (while still#verifying anything they tell you)#get higher standards!!!! and read some books or watch lectures about actual effective communication to broad groups without using tribalism#and also. anyone on the left trying to convince you of massive efforts and conspiracies that are anti everything#is also wrong 99% of the time and not a good source to listen to#never EVER assume conspiracy when it can be more simply explained through either#ignorance obliviousness incompetence financial greed or misunderstandings#the end. Iâm really done this time. Iâm just sick of seeing so many people fall prey to this#shh katie#cult escapee#politics and current events#donât get swept up in the constant tsunami of performative online activism#election 2024#world events

love that we're all like yeah dean is mr. monogamy
#i see the arguments for teenage self-sabotage and i think that makes sense#but i think in general and under normal (for him) circumstances he's not even looking at anyone else#exception: flirting with someone in front of cas so cas gets territorial#good work deangirls (gn) you're all so right#also. FUCK after school special.#spn#i do think this is an example of an effect i don't have a name for#which is people who think dean is bad see a behavior they think is bad and immediately associate the two regardless of relevance#(dean = bad) + (cheating = bad) = (dean = cheater)#not gonna deny that dean does some bad things sometimes but this is not one of them#this is like when people were saying he's the jealous one đ

This was all the way back from the end of 2.3.
Hey Sparkle what the fuck.
#So out of left field#she didn't even anything to do with 2.6! she didn't even make an appearance!#I wonder if she had anything to do with it all or if she just knew from Silverwolf's script and is fucking with us#it's hard to tell with her jfkdjsklajd#...by which I mean I wonder if she was like playing both sides the way Reca did#I don't think she'd fully side with Primitive or anything bc people turning into monkeys doesn't seem like it'd serve her.#how are they gonna appreciate her art form like that?!#also Acheron literally just impersonating a Galaxy Ranger was enough to get her a death sentence. Sparkle is wild but she's not stupid.#And aligning with Primitive seems like a fast track to a messy execution. no one wants the Galaxy Rangers on their ass.#fun side note about the current mr. cold feet's pop-up shop event going on:#I think this Sampo really IS our Sampo and not Sparkle in disguise or anything. just that some outside influence might be fucking with him.#he WOULD have been on Penacony right around the time all this happened. and he was closely in cahoots with Sparkle herself.#and memetic viruses- whether from Penacony memoria or say maybe a meme crate unearthed out of the snow-#are known to have the possible effect of making one horribly nihilistic. to the point of giving up on life. just saying.#(don't actually know that it's much of anything but GOSH is it a lovely thing to daydream about uwu)#honkai star rail#hsr#honkai star rail sparkle#hsr sparkle#sparkle#hsr 2.3#hsr 2.6#penacony#hanabi#hsr hanabi#honkai star rail hanabi

Hi !! I was wondering if there was any song that you associate with Forgettable AU ? Hope you'll have a good day!!
EHEHE YEAH
Okay so, I was trying to choose ONE but I can't cause there's like sooo many, I have a whole playlist (THAT IS A MESS, SO I'M PROBABLY NOT GOING TO SHARE THAT)
But, uhh, lately I've been super obsessed with "Slipping through my fingers" by ABBA and it reminds me SO much of this AU, specifically of Sans, and it makes me sad
I am going to make an animatic with that song one day!! I promise!! Cause it was one of the songs that inspired me to make the AU on the first place... the angst........
#it's a funny story#like I found out about the Papyrus is Gaster theory and AUGHH I WAS SO OBSESSED#but like I wasn't gonna do anything about it#AND THEN WHILE LISTENING TO MUSIC I HEARD SLIPPING THROUGH MY FINGERS AND SUDDENLY I HAD A SCENE IN MY MIND#A SCENE THAT I NEEDED TO MAKE#I NEEDED TO MAKE A PAPYRUS IS GASTER AU JUST TO MAKE THAT#there's some other song that also had this effect on me but like#i love abba#Some other songs that remind of this AU are âtwo birdsâ and âmy timeâ (not the omori version btw the original one)#and more abba songs but like in weird ways I just#I love abba so much#I will find ways to include their songs in every fandom I'm in#I WOULD MENTION MORE SONG BUT HONESTLY I HAVE A VERY CRINGE TASTE IN MUSIC LMAO AND MOST DON'T MAKE SENSE ON WHY THEY REMIND ME OF THE AU#JUST DO FOR SOME REASON#but yeaahh:]#oh another song that sold me to the idea that I HAD to make this au was âlove like youâ!#yeah...#answered ask
