i’m not the biggest fan of soulmark au’s but hear me out.
au where your soulmate’s signature shows up on your hip on your sixteenth birthday.
most people are able to either read theirs clearly, or decipher what it says and then set off on a search for their other half.
when steve turns sixteen he’s anxiously awaiting his own when he’s met with the sight of a bat on his hip.
he spends years looking for a connection, something that might give him a clue.
it’s not until several years later when he moves away from home that he sees the bat.
he sees it scrawled across the bottom of a beautiful mural in the city and realizes his soulmate is an artist.
and an anonymous one at that.
#steddie#i’m sure there’s something here#but i don’t have the brain capacity to write it#so if someone else feels so led#have at her#i just had this vision come to me and needed to get it out there#steddie soulmate au

changes and trends in horror-genre films are linked to the anxieties of the culture in its time and place. Vampires are the manifestation of grappling with sexuality; aliens, of foreign influence. Horror from the Cold War is about apathy and annihilation; classic Japanese horror is characterised by “nature’s revenge”; psychological horror plays with anxieties that absorbed its audience, like pregnancy/abortion, mental illness, femininity. Some horror presses on the bruise of being trapped in a situation with upsetting tasks to complete, especially ones that compromise you as a person - reflecting the horrors and anxieties of capitalism etc etc etc. Cosmic horror is slightly out of fashion because our culture is more comfortable with, even wistful for, “the unknown.” Monster horror now has to be aware of itself, as a contingent of people now live in the freedom and comfort of saying “I would willingly, gladly, even preferentially fuck that monster.” But I don’t know much about films or genres: that ground has been covered by cleverer people.
I don’t actually like horror or movies. What interests me at the moment is how horror of the 2020s has an element of perception and paying attention.
Multiple movies in one year discussed monsters that killed you if you perceived them. There are monsters you can’t look at; monsters that kill you instantly if you get their attention. Monsters where you have to be silent, look down, hold still: pray that they pass over you. M Zombies have changed from a hand-waved virus that covers extras in splashy gore, to insidious spores. A disaster film is called Don’t Look Up, a horror film is called Nope. Even trashy nun horror sets up strange premises of keeping your eyes fixed on something as the devil GETS you.
No idea if this is anything. (I haven’t seen any of these things because, unfortunately, I hate them.) Someone who understands better than me could say something clever here, and I hope they do.
But the thing I’m thinking about is what this will look like to the future, as the Victorian sex vampires and Cold War anxieties look to us. I think they’ll have a little sympathy, but they probably won’t. You poor little prey animals, the kids will say, you were awfully afraid of facing up to things, weren’t you?
#this is the sort of observation I make here that people#go off and write their thesis about#so while I’m not expecting to be the first or cleverest person to say this#if you do use it as a springboard#tell me if you get a good grade ok?#I’ll be tremendously proud of you#like if you take a shitpost and use it to craft deep attentive thought on something important#I just think that’s probably the most noble use of a human brain#it makes me want to take off my hat and slam it to the ground in inexpressible emotion#it’s a cowboy hat btw#and I say something like GOLDURN IT THAT KID SURE HAS DELIVERED.#ok so don’t deny me this#especially if you correct me after a long research journey#GOLDURN IT THE KID IS RIGHT!

Maybe it’s because I just spent the last four days watching my sister’s toddlers while mildly sleep deprived, but I gotta say Peri has PEAK “childfree young adult who was the youngest person in their family naively volunteers to watch recalcitrant child assuming they’d automatically be The Cool Adult Relative only to realize they have no idea how to balance being indulgent with being responsible and gets overwhelmed within five minutes” energy
10/10 I have never felt so seen by a cartoon before
#peri cosma#dev dimmadome#the fairly oddparents#fop a new wish#spoilers#side note I’m pretty sure I heard Hazel’s dad call her ‘Hazelnut’ and it is the most precious thing I’ve ever heard#I think I love the Wells family lol#the sun shines#should I keep tagging his old name? pretty sure everyone knows they’re the same character by now and his new tag seems pretty well#established by this point#for the record my sister’s kids still think I’m the coolest person so I did SOMETHING right but Y’ALL I FELT PERI SO HARD HERE#broke 100#broke 500#broke 1000

when people refer to canon story-relevant kingdom hearts games as ‘spinoffs’ it makes me sad not only for the obvious reasons i always say but also bc like man i WISH this series had spinoffs. imagine what they could do if they had permission from nomura to truly go off the rails and ignore the greater canon for a second and just do some fun whimsical plotless thing in an alternate universe. imagine a fishing/boating game on destiny islands. kh fighting game. it is an injustice that we have been deprived of kingdom karts. can anyone hear me
#in terms of alternate gameplay and lack of reliance on plot#i feel like melody of memory is the closest thing kh has actually had to a spinoff#but even that is important in its own way in the end#union cross to a certain degree as well what with being an online multiplayer gacha type game#its original concept i would definitely classify as a spinoff game#bc it was set in a totally different world and time period and was supposed to be about customization and fun with friends#and nomura or someone said it wasn’t meant to be connected to the plot#but then like. he did very much go and give it a plot. like he went back on that almost immediately#and even then. given that the game is still very much combat and exploration#even from the beginning can it really be called a spinoff? it’s just kh in a different format#i’m talking like a game in which the objective is something totally different.#racing game or cooking game or fighting game or (another) rhythm game#ace attorney style detective game. dancing game. dude i don’t know#there are so many different flavors they could go with here#alas nomura is allergic to genuine whimsy which is hilarious given that this is a disney series#like he apparently was like ‘ohhh should we really let sora in smash? would it make sense in the story?’#my brother in christ surely we’re not supposed to interpret this as canon to kh right? right????#i guess it’s just that the kh franchise has a very specific pristine vibe he wants to maintain#which is disney shenanigans as a seasoning on top of a main dish of Stone Cold Serious Anime Plot#kingdom hearts#kh#mine: kh

“Holmes had spent several days in bed, as was his habit from time to time,”
Sherlock Holmes once again being the most relatable mess we’ve seen for the past century.
#sherlock holmes#acd holmes#acd canon#acd sherlock#acd sherlock holmes#I mean I’ve never spent several days in bed#but I’m sure there are plenty of people on here who have#so this is for them!#but literally i DO have trouble staying in bed when I’m not sleeping#I just have trouble sitting still in general#I HAVE TO BE DOING SOMETHING AT ALL TIMES#on an unrelated note#I need to stock up on adhd meds

category 7 looey moment
the doodle page was drawn before all their conversations were found, but their trinket Had been, (and my sibling got the scraps convo before it was put on the wiki) so i was anticipating them being more friendly w razzle & dazzle(complimenting trinkets) and goob(both having dual colors) than they turned out to be <:] but he IS very friendly with poppy and that makes me happy. also shrimpo death threats
none of this is ship art 👍💥💥
#dandys world#the art gallery#it is so so funny to me that looey is the only toon (as it stands) that shrimpo like. doesn’t seem to just Superficially hate#everyone else he says he just hates them/something they’re wearing/something they do. he told looey he’d pop him if he could.#i was like The Fuck Did Looey Do. so here’s my joke. do either know the other is aromantic. idk. I’m not sure it’d change anything#also sorry for not more connie art……….#my sibling could only buy looey. and i don’t play videos games#i’ve Been drawing connie so i think it’s ok

Liberal purism and holier-than-thou attitudes are killing us. The more we fight with each other and break our base, the less progress we make as we split hairs and split votes. Queer people, we’re all faggots to the right. Liberals and leftists, we’re all libtards to them. If we fight each other, we make it easier for them.
Compromise is necessary sometimes guys, and it sucks, but it’s just the truth. It’s why the conservatives have made steady progress to create a world where this shit can happen and why we have trouble with patchwork success.
Build each other up, guys. Join forces instead of aiding our oppressors in tearing each other down. Take my hand. Please.
#REBLOG THIS ONE INSTEAD OF THE ROCKS#THE ROCK AURAS DONT MATTER BUT THIS SURE DOES#this is part of what happened last year I’m convinced of it#get off your high horse and get down here and help#you can. i know you want to. you mean well and so do i so let’s get something done instead of bickering about how to do it#maybe you don’t even realize you’re ON a high horse and that happens sometimes but come down and stand with us because we need it#I don’t care if you’re a social democrat like me or a straight up Marxist or if you somehow still believe in capitalism or WHAT#you’re against fascism? awesome! get in here you’re part of this now we’re glad to have you as an ally

Not that I don’t love when Bruce’s kids outperform him and give him heart attacks, but I think it’s funnier when the kids think they are better fighters/spies/infiltrators/etc. then him but he’s just so proud so he lets them think that they are.
I think that Babs would be a really good hacker, the best in the family, but Tim, who thinks that he is the next best(and is still scarily good) has no idea that Bruce only let him think that he broke his record of hacking into secret organizations.
Dick is amazing at acrobatics, and centers his fighting style around it much more. He even won gold in the Olympics for gymnastics! Bruce doesn’t want to tell him that he trained under several gymnasts, contortionists, even ballerinas!!! and has the acrobatic fighting style mastered, so he (within reason) let’s his kid win on most occasions, he doesn’t need to fake loosing on trapeze though(I am still giving the kids SOME things they are better at…)
Cass knows that nobody can lie to her, she can spot everyone’s tells and knows most people better then they know themselves. Bruce is, however, extremely paranoid and also has a kryptonian he works with regularly. He lies so well that he can convince himself he’s telling the truth(which is literally the point in case of advanced lie detectors), and so what if he lets some of his tells be more obvious around his baby, he’s so proud of her for picking up such small things! And while Bruce is AMAZING at reading people, he can’t beat Cass, it is however much closer matched then the others think.
Let’s be honest, Bruce is banned from the kitchen and isn’t good at cooking… or so everyone thinks. While he’s not as good as Alfred or even Jason he could whip up something Gordon Ramsey would be proud of if he actually tried to.
Damian in the best fighter with swords, this is undisputed. Bruce just hopes none of his kids find his crate of custom katanas in the attic, if they do then he’ll say they are for Damian.
Tim is an amazing investigator, so good in fact, that Bruce has trusted him on his hardest cases. Everyone assumes this is because Tim is a better detective then Bruce, but he just loves seeing how proud his kid gets when he gets a breakthrough.
Batman doesn’t kill, Red hood does, everyone in their right minds knows that’s a lie. Before Robin came along, leaders of drug operations or terrorists would disappear into the night, never to be seen again. The only people who don’t seem to know this are the Bats children themselves. Sometimes you can still hear a cut off scream in the dark before the news announces a missing person that everyone just knew was doing something horrible, criminals are more wary on nights that the Bats brood are in. And people running trafficking rings pray that it’s the Hood when a knock sounds, the bat doesn’t give those people the mercy of death.
All of the bat kids know more languages then Bruce, and they keep learning more to throw him off, for a family of detectives they really should have thought about the fact that Bruce traveled the entire world, he knows ancient languages and the words that world in other galaxies use, if he could speak Martian then he would have learned it by now, he still does know that part that he’s able to learn.
Idk I just need more of Bruce being skilled at SO many things while his kids are like “oh yeah Bruce? He’s good but I could defeat him easily” and Bruce just so proud of his babies when they do ANYTHING.
Bonus:
Tim made a plan to neutralize Superman at some point, it wasn’t as good as Bruce’s but he replaced it so fast. When he later uses it to take down mind controlled or something Supes Red Robin is watching.
Nobody notices that Batman whispers something to Superman before he goes deathly pale and acts like the plan is working so well he immediately gets defeated. As for what Batman said to him? It was basically ‘Clark(they aren’t supposed to know identities here btw) my kid made this plan and I swear to every mortal and immortal force that if you don’t take the fall right now you will regret it for the rest of your life” and Batman was usually scary but this was like, God will cower before him terrifying and it scared evil Superman so much he went along with it.
Res Robin was smiling so brightly that later Clark honestly couldn’t be mad at the Bat.
Edit: I forgot to add this but unbeknownst to EVERYONE (including Alfred somehow) Bruce can and will stay awake longer then Tim and his drinks are somehow worse in terms of caffeination. The difference is that on the fourteenth day with no sleep everyone thinks it’s only been three even though he is Vividly hallucinating. The ability to hide his lack of sleep for the first week and a half leads them to believe he’s actually the worst at staying up since on what they think is his fourth day of no sleep (it’s his seventeenth) he’s talking to an apparently very vivid hallucination of Alfred the Cat in a suit and a Tiger named Tawny(he had met the tiger earlier that week) and having a civilized conversation with them
#Batman#Bruce Wayne is a good father#Good dad Bruce Wayne#Good dad Batman#It’s like how baby animals will ‘defeat’ their parents in play fights#Or how when a toddler says ‘boo’ when you walk around the corner you act like they almost sent your soul out of your body#I’ll give the bat kids prompts for being really good at stuff#But Bruce spent like ten years of his life in rigorous around the world training#He ended up in jail at some point#Also yes I did imply that the Bat tortured traffickers#Why did Hood not know this#Writhing five seconds of his return Bruce realized it was a very angy Jason and went#I’ll let him take his time and sort this out :D#I’m such a good father :DDD#No Alfred doesn’t know#He does know there’s SOMETHING up but isn’t sure what#Jason kills a child trafficker and though Bruce scolds him the entire time he’s going#Awww my babies first trafficker takedown I’m so proud of him#Cass can tell he’s not telling the full truth and it drives her up a wall trying to figure out why she can’t tell what he’s hiding#Batfam#Batfamily#Red Robin was all “here Bruce I tried to make a plan for if Superman goes evil but it’s not as good as yours :(((“#And Bruce immediately goes “This one is much better good job”#He gives him a pat on the head#and is sobbing inside#dc#Dad Bruce Wayne#Dad Batman#My rambles#Jewels’ Random Thoughts

Just a reminder that people can write whatever they like! If you don’t like it don’t read it! It’s so simple. It doesn’t matter if you think it’s bad. It’s fanFICTION. Which people do for free. If you don’t like it don’t interact. You can ever block or mute them!! But that doesn’t mean it’s wrong. As long as they’re tagged correctly they’re giving you the tag you need to decide if you don’t want to read it.
#listen I don’t like bashing fics either.. but that doesn’t mean that people are wrong for writing it#ESPECIALLY if it’s tagged correctly#they’re warning you that there’s bashing in the fic so you don’t read it!!#that’s the whole point!#sure you’re allowed to be upset that this is happening but you can never say people are wrong for doing it#because it’s fanfiction and they can create their own experience JUST AS YOU CAN TOO#I’m not here to start anything I’m just here to remind you all that it’s fictional and especially when it’s all tagged it’s all fine!#the more you get hung up on what fic is out there the more upset you’re gonna be#CURATE your experience just as others do for themselves#please!! you’re just birthing a fandom divide#there’s no right and wrong in fanfic#idk how else to say this#once again you’re allowed to not like something but just don’t interact!!#911 abc#911 fandom#purple rambles

something about how both wei wuxian and jin guangyao repeatedly say they ‘didn’t have a choice’ in their actions. in both cases, it’s not literal impossibility, instead determined by their mindsets and personal conduct…. but while for wei wuxian that means he can’t do something immoral, even if it means losing all his social power, for jin guangyao it means he can’t do anything to lose his social power, even if it means doing something immoral. the other option is still there, but it’s never one they’d pick.
something about how they’re trying to walk the same path but in opposite directions: wei wuxian willingly left the nice, broad road in favour of upholding morals and debts, while jin guangyao is trying to claw onto it and stay there by any means necessary. in both cases, being parted from it so easily is only possible because this nice, broad road — full of people whose social power is unconditional, given at birth, independent of their actions — was never truly theirs to begin with. but despite how it is possible to be forced off due to nothing, as we see with wang lingjiao, the positions of both these characters were ultimately due to actions they took.
(about how no matter the similarity of the paths, no matter the narrowness of the choices, the direction you take is still up to you.)
#i’m a little insane about this metaphor in case you couldn’t tell#also clarification: ‘immoral’ for the case of wwx means something against his personal morals (a major example would be giving up the wens)#whereas for jgy i mean ‘something generally against most people’s morals eg killing his son and participating in torture’#since he doesn’t really HAVE personal morals and his goals are independent on that#but phrasing it like this is much less awkward…#anyway i LOVE the theme of choice here — how everyone *does* have one but aims/morals influence that to the point that choosing a certain-#-option SEEMS like an impossibility#but you still are responsible/should be responsible for those choices (see: the story justfully questioning jgy’s ‘i had no choice’ line)#so jgy WAS responsible for his choices (and wwx *could’ve* also chosen to do what’s easier — not giving up the gc not protecting the wens)#(but didn’t and that’s to his credit)#despite the circumstances for both being unideal it’s still your choice IN the circumstances — not the circumstances — that determine what-#-kind of person you are#mdzs meta (?)#pretty sure it counts but i also know i’ve been taking up a lot of this tag recently…#mdzs#魔道祖师#mo dao zu shi#grandmaster of demonic cultivation#gdc#wei wuxian#jin guangyao#my meta (?)

Finding a Doctor Who fan saying a positive thing about 13 without mentioning that they hated the writing challenge impossible
#raineyrambles#*almost impossible as in I exist and have become 13s biggest supporters since the moment I met her#but like seriously why can’t someone either just say they liked her ow whatever and move on#why bother commenting anyway if you’re going to shit talk 5 seconds later#especially when it’s under just an edit of her or something simply talking about how they liked her#which this goes specifically to people on TikTok cause I’m not sure how people act on here or other places#anyways 13 they can never make me not love you <3#doctor who#13th doctor#thirteenth doctor#jodie whittaker
