I've seen a lot of different takes on Fear Toxin/other fear causing stuff (Yellow Lanterns Ring or something)(later just called Fear Toxin cause I'm lazy) but here is another one.
Danny seems like he isn't affected by Fear Toxin because his biggest fear is that his accident changed him so much he is no longer human, he can no longer truly experience human things.
So when he gets lungful of fear Toxin, he feels normal. He was antsy before, because c'mon, it's a rogue attack but it's not worse. Or so he thought. Because the anxiety lingers. Not enough to register as abnormal just this slight hypervigilance that makes you see things about yourself and your surroundings that you'd never realize otherwise. He'd realize he doesn't blink as often. He'd realize that if he doesn't consciously focus, he sometimes seems to not touch the ground. Forgets to breathe. He can't feel his own pulse at time. He'd realize people will miss him when he's walking down the street as if he was invisible (people just don't care about everyone they pass by). When he'd look straight into his reflection, he'd look slightly to the left. Not enough to actually name anything that was wrong but just stretched enough to fall on the wrong side of the uncanny valley. If he just caught his reflection in the peripheral vision, it'd be vaguely shadowy creature with glowing green eyes and white smoke instead of hair. Overall he'd be just wrong enough to be distinctly not human.
For everyone else, he'd be just a dude. Literally couldn't find more normal dude than this dude. Will pass as absolutely normal human unless someone is specifically looking for ecto-ghost stuff. Even most magic users wouldn't clock him at the glance
Tldr: Fear Toxin makes Danny perceive himself as some sort of eldritch horror but not enough to make him believe he'd actually be affected, while from outside perspective he's Just A Dude™
#dpxdc#dc x dp#dp x dc#dcxdp#fear toxin#please no Ghost King#nothing against this au but i don't think it'll mesh well woth this idea#probably works best with danny soon after accident#maybe still believing all of his parents anti-ghost propaganda#that'd add to angst for sure#idk why he is somewhere where he could be affected#idk who would realize something is wrong#up to whoever wants to do expand on this prompt#he'd cry when someone tells him he's been in fact affected by fear causing thing#because this means he *is* human and while he was fundamentally changed by his death#it didn't fully get rid of his humanity#but he won't tell that too busy being relieved so whoever delivered the news would be in for the ride#actually it'd be cool if it was someone who has superpowers but they showed up later in their life#parallels y'know#... i may still not be normal about “i wonder what could lie beyond infinity” by Numinous_Scribe on ao3...#top notch fic go read it great Clark characterization#anyway because plot kinda escaped me#hope this idea scratches someone's creative braincell or something#im curious what y'all will make out of it#yellow lantern#have a nice day dear stranger who got to this part

Mikey and Leo episode centered around Mikey wanting to push Leo and Draxum together since Leo’s the most reluctant to give Draxum any grace (for good reason!) But, thinking on the spot, Leo says he’s gotta go do something for Hueso and “just can’t hang out right now 😔” (yes, he says the emoji out loud.)
Mikey calls his bluff and now the three of them (Mikey having grabbed a weary Draxum along) go to Hueso’s to find that yes, he actually does have a job for him. Said job asks for Leo to go with Hueso to deliver multiple pizzas to this giant yokai quite a distance away, and Hueso figured it would probably go better with Leo’s help (emphasis on probably.)
Well, Mikey decides that this would be a great bonding opportunity for them and basically invites he and Draxum along. Unfortunately for Leo, Hueso doesn’t care enough to wave away more help, though he does side-eye the wanted criminal Baron Draxum coming with them. But who is he to judge? (This choice has consequences.)
The journey goes about as terribly as you’d expect, but at least the pizzas get delivered on time.
#rottmnt#rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles#rottmnt mikey#rottmnt leo#rottmnt draxum#rottmnt hueso#listen you don’t understand#imagine mikey trying to get leo to accept draxum as a father figure only for this to push leo to purposefully turn to Hueso instead#idk I love when this accidental flaw of Mikey’s is explored and I think it meshes well with Leo’s own AND fits nicely with their dynamic#100% this ends with Leo & Hueso bonding and Mikey & Draxum bonding and Mikey & Leo bonding and even Hueso & Mikey a bit#but notably only a little Draxum & Leo - because it’s important that Leo isn’t forced to accept him imo#Leo realizing during all his denials of Draxum that oh you know who he DOES think of as family? Hueso#Draxum is trying mainly for Mikey’s sake#Hueso is too tired to care about all this family drama but is reluctantly worried about Pepino#Mikey just wants one big happy family because - that’s just easier y’know?#he tries so hard to work with everyone’s emotions that he just wants things to be easy for once#he wants love and family to be easier than it is - than has BEEN lately#gimme that heart to heart Mikey & Leo moment in this regard#by the end Leo DOES raise Draxum up a bit from ‘complete distrust’ to ‘mild side-eye’#but it’s a long ways off if he ever gets pushed into the family tier#and also#SO MUCH SLAPSTICK COMEDY and sarcastic comedy in this episode fr#and if you’re wondering-#yes they DO fight the Yokai monster they’re delivering the pizzas to#but they get paid so it’s whatever#kinda wanna attempt to copy the style of the show and make fake screenshots of this ‘episode’ ngl

There was a joke in the Wriothesley Not-Birthday arc that didn't make the cut but it basically was someone being like "YOU WERE SKINNY??" when looking at Sigewinne's toddler pictures with her dad (Neuvillette is the one taking them, obviously). And Wriothesley is like "I was in the hospital for like a month. No shit."
#ingital#childe was the one who was supposed to say that line but I was like. he'd never say that. like he's the goofy guy but he's smart enough#to automatically understand. and I don't think he's that tactless. wrio isn't gonna get offended he thinks its hilarious too#but neuvillette would kill ajax on the spot. DON'T BRING UP HIS PAST AT THE NOT BIRTHDAY PARTY.#skinny wriothesley............... evil. evil.#itto wouldve been better to deliver a line like that i think. it's an excuse for exposition#bc he was lean in his twenties until he got boinked at 25. and then he lost a lot of weight/muscle mass. but he starts working out again#like at 28-29. and he starts cooking and eating more too#by addison lee he's bigger than he was at 21 JEFNNDMDKCJEJDJCJE because he's eating better resting more#ill reply to asks tmr!!!!!!!!!! hejehe bed time for me now#i have lots of neuv thoughts too. funny you mention his diet bc hes a picky eater in ingital SJDNDNEKFJEJKFK his autism.#that's also why wriothesley started making those lunch boxes. i was gonna write a whole one shot for that.#wriothesley#these tags r for my blog organisation but belatedly. i realise. this will show up in search too.#neuvillette

arguably the most sane characters in my witch au for the forseeable future-and in tsams in general, tbh
#crappy doodles#witch au#they're part of the postal service that frank runs#i'd include him but i can't draw him yet soooo#yea!#they live on the edge of town#frank used to deliver stuff but then his parts went out of stock and he couldn't repair himself anymore :/#so he asked the local blacksmith (solar!) to help make him some apprentices!#they're all very happy and very well off#the creator doesn't know about them and frank is terrifying enough to keep him away so#yeah their lives are pretty good#they don't show up in the au but i thought i'd mention them#solar's pretty friendly with them seeing as he's technically their creator#they stop by when he's not working#they're trying to gain custody over him to get him out of those terrible working conditions#(frank's seen as a powerful magic user so no one asks about his custody over solar flare and jack)#(solar's owned by the blacksmith shop so he isn't so lucky)#anyways#tsams solar flare#tsams jack-o-moon#ahem

I'm not normally a "fuck canon" kind of person but it's still wild to me that JRO said via word of god that Pharma's red rust plague wasn't designed for Tarn. Like what the fuck. Tarn trapped Pharma into a blackmail deal to give him free tcogs for his transformation addiction and Pharma designs a plague that activates on transformation and you're gonna try to tell me that Tarn wasn't in Pharma's mind when he made it like that? How can you NOT write that into your plot when the connection is so obviously there? I guess it would've meant writing Pharma as more of a vengeful mech seeking punishment for his captor and not as an insane selfish doctor, and I guess that just wasn't what we were after.
#but also it's word of god + in canon pharma says he did it to close the clinic w/o suspicion on him#so it's a mix of fuck word of god and fuck canon i guess#honestly i do say fuck canon re: pharma saying he made the virus JUST to get the clinic closed down#again the connection b/t tcog blackmail for a transformation addict and a plague that activates on transformation is way too obvious#also i don't understand how pharma's plan wouldn't have possibly worked to infect the djd anyways#whether tarn shows up at delphi to get his cogs or pharma delivers them or someone else picks them up#if tarn doesn't get the cogs bc delphi is closed down then he would of course go to delphi to rain punishment on pharma#and then the whole clinic is infected with plague so tarn and co walk right into an infection ridden trap#like i do think pharma wanting to not get caught is pertinent to his character (tho i see it as understandable tragedy instead of cowardice#but this is just another instance of me seriously questioning JRO's use of word of god when WOG is worse than fan theories#squiggposting#pharma apologism

something that will never fail to be amusing to me is when an mdzs college au needs the name of a professor, and then suddenly shen qingqiu is there
#ah yes professor shen we all know him#would love to see a fic that is like. largely focused on whatever mdzs characters are thrown into the college au setting#but you get the impression there's some kind of b-plot happening just off screen#where shen-laoshi is having some kind of weird drama with his former TA#or even just like. in the middle of class or office hours or something#professor shen's absurdly beautiful husband shows up to deliver him lunch#im imagining wwx going into office hours or something#and his brain to mouth filter completely fails him and he makes some comment like damn shen-laoshi's got game!#sqq regrets every decision he's ever made and lbh is having to remind himself that he's not allowed to kill his husband's students#anyway. i think it's silly and i enjoy it#i mostly only see it with sqq but i did read a fic once where one of the random jin kids bullying jin ling#was named luo bingbing and i was like ??#i don't think it was a reference to him but it felt like too strong of a coincidence#i think more scum villain characters should be random background characters in mdzs aus. it's very funny#sqh and jgy work in the same accounting firm or something#lqg is jc's personal trainer. idk.

I've seen several people comment on Richard's apparent bad mood during the rehearsal and I'd like to add my five cents.
Personally, I don't think Richard was in a bad mood as such but more just concentrating on the technical side of the rehearsal, and a bit annoyed that some things weren't how they should be. He went back to his backstage corner a couple of times to speak to someone - it looked like he was unhappy with his in-ear monitors since he even took one of them out like twice only to put it back in a bit later. There was also one moment where he looked unhappy with some of the crew/techs in his backstage corner because he sort of nodded in their direction and then towards the stage a couple of times like they were meant to do something but didn't.
Ultimately, I think it's important to remember that while the rehearsal gets presented as an 'exclusive LIFAD show', at the end of the day it's still a rehearsal. It's their first time testing a new(ish) show in front of a real audience and obviously that needs to be their main focus. Stage antics, interactions and having fun can all wait until later, when the show runs smoothly as it should and they don't have to worry about it. The more they focus on getting everything up to their standards now, the more fun they can have later.
#felt completely reasonable given that their job is to ensure they're able to deliver a performance that's up to their usual standards#plus richard is a perfectionist so ofc he's gonna focus on getting things to work how they should#during a show that literally exists so they can do exactly that#rzk#rammstein#rammstein rehearsal

saw some posts going around about how movie adrien was insufferable and a fuckboy and seemed like the kind of guy who might call a girl a bitch and can't take no for an answer and i couldn't figure out why for the life of me
finally watched some scenes in the english dub and
oh honey no
what IS that line delivery???
;_; how did they murder my boy??
#miraculous awakening#miraculous ladybug#miraculous le film#ml movie#adrien agreste#as always with the english dub my issues aren't with the VAs themselves but with the directing (i've heard most of the VAs in other roles)#i'm begging of you please watch the original french#he has that bravado but it's playful and teasing and simultaneously so sincere#where is his sincerity in the english?? ;_;#and why is every pun delivered like a looney tunes gag?#the constant punning works so well in french because he says it all so casually#and again with such sincerity#and all of his teasing to ladybug is playful and good-natured#whereas in the english dub it's like... idk it feels like he's trying to get her all riled up and i don't like it >:(#f; miraculous ladybug#if you genuinely enjoy the english dub and have a different take that's okay#but i'm just exhausted of the complaints about the show/film that boil down to voice acting directorial choices#that simply aren't problems in the french

Might just pass the fuck out actually
#it has not been a good day. the first thing i had to do today went badly and i’m not looking forward to doing the second thing#and it’s hot and my house feels like a soup and my knee is acting up so i’m essentially walking like i don’t even know what#i was going to say frankenstein’s monster but i don’t even know if he has a limp#i wish the lecture i have tonight wasn’t the FIRST one in the course. if i’d already done a couple i feel like it’d be more acceptable#for me to email the lecturer or the guidance person or somebody and be like ‘hey chief i had an absolute disaster this morning.#is it okay if i take a personal day to cry into chinese food and try to drown myself in the bath? i’ll watch the lecture tomorrow & recap’#but i haven’t established a reputation for showing up & being competent yet#ugh and i looked on the website and the cohort is exactly 8 people which… idk what i was expecting but why must it be small#if i get asked to introduce myself i’m just going to cry on camera#god i bet i do get asked. that’s going to be fucking horrible#‘i’m ellen; i don’t work anywhere because i left my first shift at my new job in tears today bc i almost fainted because my knee decided to#give out; i know enough html and css to know that this course is going to kick my ass. i’m also learning python#because my friend roped me into it. also sorry that i’m eating right now but i decided there was no way i was getting through this class#without ordering fried rice. i don’t know why i’m here. nice to meet you i guess’#i’m so hungry but i don’t want to eat anything because i want to order food. but also. do i have the mental fortitude to talk to someone#on the phone. but i don’t have the mental fortitude to cook either…… it’s a big problem#ultimately cooking would be physically harder but i would also get my food sooner. calling them would be mentally harder and i would get my#food later. ohhhhh god and i just remembered this other takeaway place that opens at 4:30 (💖) but they’re CLOSED ON MONDAYS#i guess there’s also the chinese place in the village. AND their prawn toast is better. and they open earlier and deliver super fast. 🧐#i might just order beef fried rice from them and whatever happens to me happens to me. (i have a beef intolerance lol#but they cook their chicken in a way that makes it really chewy. it won’t make me sick or anything; never has before; but it’s not the vibe.#it’s chinese food cooked by english people. that’s the problem. the prawn toast is good though)#anyway! for personal reasons i will be passing out#personal

nikki’s motivation is inconsistent even within the pilot
#at least the writers showed us upfront that they werent going to be doing aything complex plotwise#and that it never occured them to make any sort of commentary on the politics or implications of a private intelligence agency#they set us up for a stupid show and they delivered cant fault them for that#also the you alright scene is very important to me#wow so much to disect in this jack bozer interaction#havent seen you in a while#wheres jack been while macs been convelesing#calling jack besties#where is my jack bozer backstory#were gonna change that#implying that jack is going to be around more now interesting whats changed his mind from giving space to being around#bozer telling jack he looks good#okay#catch you think tank geeks later... and you jack#so does bozer think jack does not work with them#and instead sells tile#or is this just being like these guys are geeks and jack is a jock#the phoneix chat is some of the worst dialogue in this show my god terrible#im so sorry everyone i just felt the urge to watch the pilot and whoops now im probs gonna macrot again#macgyver 2016

Pizza delivery drivers of Reddit, what are some of the craziest reasons people have ended up on the “no delivery list”?
gameryamen
I worked for a pizza place that was near a very large software company. Deliveries to the neighborhoods or offices where all the tech workers lived was usually pretty awesome because they'd tip rather well. But there was one apartment that started to become a concern for us drivers. The man ordering was always polite, always paid, always tipped $4, and he would have been a perfect customer. He'd order breadsticks and a salad twice a week, and sometimes he'd include a bottle of root beer. Except when he opened his door, you could see an alarming amount of our breadsticks boxes stacked everywhere inside. Not like a few on the counter and a couple by the trash, stacks and stacks of them. Even worse, it was only our boxes in there. He wasn't just ordering from us often, we were the only place he was getting food outside of work. Now, I've worked in some of those tech offices myself, I know that there's enough decent food options just hanging out in the break rooms that this guy was probably not malnourished, but the way his living space was a shrine of greasy cardboard was a clear sign that this guy didn't have a healthy relationship with our food. Our manager was a really cool dude though, and he heard the drivers joking about the boxes and asked a couple of us "Is this like a messy guy or a guy who needs help?" We agreed it was probably the latter. So on his day off, the manager went to the guys apartment with an envelope that had gift cards for several other restaurants that delivered in that area and chatted with him. Manager found out that the guy was an immigrant on a Visa who was struggling to find American food he liked, and too socially awkward to ask anyone. So he talked with him through a few menus and helped him with some recommendations. Then he helped the guy load all the old boxes into his truck to take to the dump, in exchange for a promise not to order from us more than once a week. For a little while, the manager had a note on the calendar showing the last time the guy had ordered, and a couple times he had to hold his ground and refuse the guy's order. But after that chat, I never saw the stacks of boxes again, and the guy would boast about the different meals he'd had.
what the fuck dude, this is so sweet.

I was expecting so much more from Again My Life considering lee jungi was its main character but it was such a let down...
#like. what even was that show#it wanted to be a drama mistery political law/justic AND fantacy and it didnt manage to deliver even one of those properly#the fantasy element was a joke. and it didn't have any impact after the first... what? 3 episodes?#I kept waiting for the girl to almost die and hiu to save her. bc she mustve somehow died at cho taesob's hand in the past life#but nope#and then the main plot was a fucking mess#too many names (people and companies) kept popping up and then going away#and i can get past all of that#but what I couldn't stand about this show was how fucking stupid the laws and the power dynamics were#we never see anyone actually DO any work. they just make phonecalls and things just... happen#hiu needs something. he calls someone. and now suddenly he has all the info and proof in a folder.#where did u get that? how did u confirm the legitimacy?#cho taesob is the dumbest villain ive ever seen in a kdrama. 1 he was miscasted. that guy looked like the sweetest grandpa.#his evil laugh was... laughable#and his whole thing with being the most power man in korea was just not believable. period.#from begining to end he didn't actually gain or lose any power. he had the same (insane) amount the whole time#and he was always at his home office chillin. like...#like if his power came from having dirt on every person in power/law postition why was he surprised when their dirts were revealed???#and why did he still hold power over them when their secrets where already out?#it just made no sense that he could just give any official position to anyone.#i havent even scartched the surface#there are so many loose ends and plot holes in this show I could do a 2 hour video essay on it#and im sorry hiu was the least charismatic character lee jungi has ever played and it wasnt his fault. hes played detective and lawyer befo#he wasn't new to the genre and role. the writing and directing of that drama was a complete waste of his talent#and the killer guy.. bro... both hui and the other posecuter he almost killed saw his face and they made zero effort to find him?#didn't he like explicitly say he's working for cho? why didn't that it kid who was there not film what was happening??#anyway <3#im watching samdalri now... my expectations are on the floor#i simply cannot be let down.#niki screaming into the void
