Today is a good day!

I'm now on Page 8 of a Google Doc of writing, and I've sunk over 24 hours into the new Stardew Valley update already!

3 ships: I have sooooo damn many but my current list consists Destiel, WolfStar, and Sterek.

First ever ship: I’m gonna age myself here but I really don’t care. Drarry! I read it on Quizilla before I found FF.net. 

Last song: Iris - Cover of Goo Goo Dolls by Diamante and Breaking Benjamin

Last Movie: Klaus. Watched it while making ginger cookies last night.

Currently Reading: Fanfiction. So much fucking fanfiction. I’ve been meaning to read The Bird and The Nightingale by Katherine Arden but I haven’t gotten around to it. The last real book I read was The Night Circus by Erin Morganstern but that was over two years ago.

Currently watching: Nothing new really. I’m a college student with mild autism and ADHD so I’m constantly rewatching the same things because I’ve memorized them. I can write discussion posts and papers without too much brain power being used by the background noise. I usually pick Howl’s Moving Castle, The Ghost and Mrs. Muir, or V for Vendetta.

Currently consuming: Homemade peppermint hot chocolate. I had surgery (I got sterilized!) today and it’s my comfort drink.

Currently craving: A hot shower and a non-sexualized back rub but I’m single and live alone so the shower is the only thing I’m getting for quite some time. I’ll simply live with that.

Once more, have a prompt entirely in memes because I'm too lazy to properly write one right now lol.

[finemeal]

It's April Fools and I've booped all my boops so here's the other three Poké's I promised I'd explain today. Also! Some bonus honorable mentions to the Poké's I considered but ended up not having on his main team. Definitely possible he's had those on his team before, though!

Gliscor: I knew I wanted Jason to have a bat Poké' because ... look Batman? Bat Poké? It just felt like it fit, ya know? When discussing it with a friend, I debated between SOO many bat Poké's (Crobat, Swoobat, & Noivern) but decided Gliscor felt like the right choice.

First of all, Gliscor LOOKS tough. Like, if I saw that Poké in the real world I'd think that Poké was gonna punch me. Or use it's claws to pinch me REAL hard. And the FANGS! Please I was WAITING for someone to hear me talk about the fangs. Just ... MAN it fits that a crime lord would have a bat Pokémon that has fangs.

Speaking of fangs, Gliscor is the "Fang Scorpion Pokémon." I already know what you're gonna ask. Scorpion? When I've been referring to Gliscor as a bat? Gliscor's both, as a treat, it's okay.

But focusing on the "Fang Scorpion" part, a scorpion that bites people feels like something Jason would resonate with. Gliscor isn't a poison type! It can learn poison moves, but is not inherently a poison type. Again, I think Jason would resonate with poison types a lot. Especially a Poké who looks like it deals poison and then throws you for a loop when it doesn't deal poison (typically). Exactly the kinda shit Jason would love.

Onto abilities. Hyper Cutter which prevents other Poké's from lowering its Attack stat. Are you KIDDING me??? That's such a badass ability that fits Jason SO much. Jason wouldn't be intimidated or cowed by other's, and neither would his Poké.

Sand Veil (i.e. raises Poké's evasion slightly in a sandstorm and immune to sandstorm damage). Listen ... this one doesn't necessarily fit Jason a lot but not all the abilities have to perfectly fit Jason. It is a kickass ability though!

Hidden ability Poison Heal is what it says on the tin (mostly), the Poké heals when dealt poison damage. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?? Jason would fucking LOVE a Poké who when poisoned, when it should be damaged and continue to take damage continuously is instead healed he would resonate with that SO hard. I mean just look at Jason! He's waded through so much shit and kept fucking going. So does Gliscor.

Now we make our way down to the Pokédex. The Pokédex discusses how silent Gliscor is while it snatches up its prey. How it utilizes its fangs to quickly ... neutralize its prey. I've mentioned it before but Jason is big and fast and sneaky.

Jason for sure saw this Poké who waited for just the right moment before leaping and probably thought, "That reminds me of Batman ... I need 'im on my time." I don't know, I just feel a certain way about all the Batkids looking at bat Poké's and seeing themselves and their dad and wanting to have him along with them on their journey.

It's definitely possible that Jason evolved Gliscor from a Gilgar. Personally, I think he caught a Gliscor but if he had evolved it from a Gilgar? I mean that lil guy jumps onto its prey's FACES and injects poison that way. I'm just imaging a Gilgar jumping on Jason's face to poison him and Jason being like, "Yes, this is the Pokémon for me." And that? Makes me laugh. (Hey maybe he did find a Gilgar first, who knows. I haven't expanded on this too much yet XD)

Haxorus: Knew I wanted Jason to have a dragon Poké, and as SOON as I saw Haxorus something in my brain just clicked. JUST LOOK AT THAT JAW!! Look at the red accents. Look at this dragon Pokémon and just tell me Jason wouldn't think it was a badass Pokémon who belonged on his team??? (Although I do think Jason would've evolved Haxorus from Axew but we'll get into that in a bit).

The "Axe Jaw Pokémon" just makes me feel a type of WAY about how Jason would feel about this Poké okay? Like DAMN that is SO badass and you cannot tell me Jason, theater/literature kid Jason, did not debate using an axe at one point in a confrontation with Joker & Bruce? Just at least a little bit.

One of Haxorus' abilities is Rivalry (i.e. deals more damage to Poké's of the same gender). Rivalry? Jason? No that'd be soooo silly. Our boy? Our competitive boy? Our guy who will get into fights with so many people and who is a goddamn crime lord? Him having rivalry's? That'd be sooo silly. (I hope the sarcasm is ... clear here)

Then, we have Mold Breaker (i.e. prevents targets ability from affecting moves the Poké uses with some more nuance to it). Jason is for SURE a mold breaker in the Batfam. He was the second Robin, he had as major issues as Bruce does, and he is the first Batkid to die. Then? He comes back and becomes a goddamn crime lord. Just !!! Jason's a Mold Breaker and so is Haxorus. Brother's in arms and all that.

Finally, hidden ability Unnerve (foes too scared to eat berries). I touched on why this fit Jason when I talked about Houndoom so I won't discuss it again XD

If you go on further, we can take a look at Pokédex. I am SO normal about this one particular entry that sold this Poké for me on Jason's team: "They are kind but can be relentless when defending territory. They challenge foes with tusks that can cut steel." A KINDHEARTED 'MON THAT WILL DEFEND IT'S TERRITORY RUTHLESSLY IS UGH. It's perfect. That is so Jason coded I don't even need to say more.

Okay, but back to what I mentioned before. I TRULY believe Jason would've evolved Haxorus all the way up from Axew. Why? I don't know, I just truly believe Jason would see an Axew marking it's territory with its tusks, getting into little friendly scraps, and it would remind him of himself.

Maybe Axew reminded him of when he would have to fight for any place to belong in Crime Alley. Claiming small territories that he could. He most likely got into a lot of unfriendly scraps, but seeing Axew get into scraps probably reminded him of when he'd spar with Dick. I don't know, I just feel like he sees a small guy who has the potential to be so much more and resonates with that a lot.

Feraligatr: I pondered over MANY Poké's that would be a good starter for Jason. Debated which Poké out of ALL of them he would've had from the very start. I threw out a lot of ideas to my friend, and when they pointed out Feraligatr's mohawk and I was sold.

Feraligatr's the "Big Jaw Pokémon" which like ... I don't know why but I saw that and was like, "Like Jason!" Which isn't true. But I think I thought that because of his helmet? I don't know, it just felt like it fit Jason's vibe to have a Poké who had a BIG ASS JAW for no reason in particular. I don't know, the vibes of this Poké just fits Jason so much.

The main Ability is Torrent (which increases power of water-moves when the Poké has a low enough HP). A Poké that get stronger the more it gets hurt??? Yeah that's Jason. That just fits that dude SO much. I've said it before but Jason gets hit over and over again and keeps going.

It's Hidden Ability is Sheer Force (i.e. increases power of moves that have a beneficial secondary effect but removes the additional effects ... it's a whole thing). I don't know, but this just feels like it fits how Jason would battle? I can't really explain it (also I'm so tired) but it just feels like it fits Jason.

Now let's scooch on down to the Pokédex and look at the fact that it tears its victims apart with it's strong jaws. It also touches on even though he's big he's fast and ... well I've already talked about how fast Jason is for his size. Also, Jason just feels like he for sure bit people as a kid. I don't know, sometimes about him fits the vibes.

Now, Feraligatr evolves all the way from Totodile (a starter Poké from Gen 2). I feel like Jason looked at all the Poké's he had to choose from (the other two being Chikorita & Cyndaquil) and saw something in Totodile. Cuz, again, this little guy is small but he is tough. Jason was for sure, at the time, small but tough!

When given these options I feel like Jason would choose the Poké that wouldn't hesitate to bite the shit out of him and know that he was the perfect Poké for his team.

Honorable mentions:

Crobat: Liked the Poké, but Jason already had a flying AND poison type so didn't feel like he'd have a balanced team with 'im. Still, if didn't have Gengar would've had a Crobat (one type crossover is fine, but 2 is pushing it ... not always but ya know).

Swoobat: A good bat Poké that felt like a 'mon that others would underestimate and then could kick your ass. Just a Poké that could've been a good fit for Jason, but not my favorite choice.

Noivern: Noivern is SUCH a great Poké, one of my favorite's, but something about Noivern made me think that this wouldn't be a dragon Poké Jason would have on his main team. Maybe he has Noivern in his boxes but ... yeah I don't know didn't feel like it was the best fit.

Hisuan Decidueye: Listen, look at that dude! Felt like a good Jason Poké, grass fighting just UGH beautiful. I think I ended up not going with Hisuan Decidueye because it didn't ended up feeling like it'd fit the way I wanted 'im to in Jason's team.

Empoleon: Water/Steel just felt like it would fit Jason so much. This Poké does kick ass but in the end didn't fit the vibe I was aiming for. Looking back, I think this Poké would probably be on Nightwing's team than Jason's.

Swampert: I did like Swampert, but I already had Gliscor as a flying/ground type and ... Gliscor already has one type similar with another Poké which I think was already pushing it for a Champion team (not that I think it's bad to have the same type when you play, but didn't fit the vibes I was going for, ya know?).

Title: Champion

I'm gonna post these separately because I know people who like DC don't necessarily like DPxDC SO! This is my DC Pokémon AU piece I did for a game in the @haunting-heroes-creative-games server! Hosted by @artdecielle, we played Guess the Artist: Through the Screen. I had so much fun drawing Jason with all these poke's, and it took me a total of 9 hours and 37 minutes.

The Pokémon shown on the left from bottom to top:

Houndoom

Feraligatr

Staraptor

The Pokémon shown on the right from bottom to top:

Gengar

Haxorus

Gliscor

I imagine Jason is a Pokémon trainer who has become Champion at this point. Trained by the Chairman of their region: Bruce Wayne (who has trained many Pokémon Champions). Eventually, Jason will become a Gym Leader when the next protégé becomes Champion, but right now he's holding it!

Tried to add the Red Hood symbol on his shirt and make him feel very Jason. I excluded his white tuft cuz I felt it would give me away in the game, but I do generally imagine him with it! I'm just so proud of this piece and had so much fun making it <3

"i'm too tired to study" do it tired then.

enough making petty excuses for yourself. as your scrolling midlessley through tiktok, your competition (aka the version of yourself you want to become) has sat there studying hours on end, moving further and further away from where you are now. "i'm not smart enough" you don't need to be naturally gifted to excel, you just need consistency and good study habits. not everyone who scores high is einstein, they just worked their ass off. turn "one day" into day one and start now.

This was a reply to someone else, but I'm making this its own post because so many people are being so evil right now re: Noah Schnapp.

You can find other, longer explanations with history and all, but all the places I've seen more or less agree with this:

So you're all calling people to cancel Noah because he's in favor of a Jewish nation in what is today Israel. Which is a perfectly reasonable, decent and educated opinion to have, especially when you, to use a trendy term, "educate yourself" and find out why the state of Israel was created.

11000 dead Palestinians, half of them children

According to Hamas. Don't forget that, ever. They're the current, official government of Gaza, thus they're the ones who give numbers. This means that the real number could be 10, 1 million, anything in between. What I've read is that they probably give more of less accurate total numbers. What they fail to do, however, is distinguish between Hamas militants and civilians, and beteween civilians killed by IDF strikes, civilians killed by failed Hamas or Palestininan Islamic Jihad's rockets (which happens a lot), and Palestinians murdered by Hamas/PIJ (which also happens, a whole damn lot). They also don't specify how many civilians they have prevented or tried to prevent from evacuating or receiving aid.

11k dead people is a horrible number. Even 1 dead person is a horrible number. However, urban warfare in such a densely populated area is its own kind of hell, especially when the other side is fond of using civilians as human shields in every way possible. The fact that the number is 11k and not 50k, 100k, and so on, indicates that the IDF have indeed done a lot to minimize deaths. You don't genocide people by doing roof knocks, opening evacuation lines, dropping guided bombs, putting up an Iron Dome to deal with rockets while avoiding escalation, etc. simply because actual genocide, while a lot worse, is also cheaper, easier and faster than what they're doing. This is important because caling every act of war genocide dilutes the word, and there are actual genocides happening around the world. Also, there is a difference between striking military targets and causing civilian deaths as a side effect (what the IDF is doing) and planning and carrying out a massacre deliberately targeting civilians and inflicting as much pain and humilliation as possible on them. And there is a difference between doing so by breaking a ceasefire (which is what Hamas did), and defending your country because if you don't do that a terrorist group will anhilate you (which is what the IDF is doing).

Back to Noah. So far, these are the things that people have tried to cancel him for:

Traveling to Israel (a completely normal thing)

Having Israeli friends (another completely normal thing)

Condemning Hamas' horrible attack on October 7th (the decent thing to do)

Posting a statement saying he feels unsafe as a Jewish person in the US (which, given the rise of antisemitic acts in the world, including the US, including where he lives and where he studies, is a valid feeling to have)

Signing a letter, along with Shawn Levy, Brett Gelman, Ross Duffer and I think Cara Buono, asking Biden to press for the liberation of every hostage by Hamas. This especially shows the utter ignorance of the cancellers because, as it turns out, caring about every hostage implies a slowdown of IDF's actions (and, at the time, a delay of a ground invasion).

Supporting the existence and preservation of the state of Israel (once again, a completely normal thing). The fact that people are turning against him for these things says to me that the real reason you are all hating Noah is beacuse:

He's Jewish. Like, really really Jewish.

And the fact that this all comes from a place of antisemitism isn't hidden at all: I've seen y'all on here, on Twitter, Reddit, every other social media calling him slurs (such as "cunt"), censoring his name, pretending he's not part of the cast, asking the Duffers/Netflix to fire him, wishing him failure, doxxing him, calling on his classmates to physically assault him, etc. He doesn't need to educate himself: you guys are already teaching him a great lesson on why a Jewish state is necessary. If that's the treament he gets from his own "fans", what can he expect from the world at large?

Ice: "We can do it together, if you'd like."

Wood: "Why don't you ever offer me help like that?"

Goose: "Don't fall off that ladder. I know that's pretty high for you, but it's a further fall than you're used to."

Mav: "If I didn't know you cried during The Muppet Movie, I'd think you were being pretty mean right about now."

Rooster: "Hey, I haven't seen you in awhile."

Hangman: "Yeah, sorry- wait! The love of my life! You're here today!"

Ice: "Well, none of us need to overcompensate like you."

Slider: "Can it, whipper snapper. I'm charming the ladies."

Bob: "Did I just encounter an NPC in real life?"

Phoenix: "You have to be the main character to do that."

Mav: "I wish my dad thought like that. Lol."

Goose: "... That's really sad but I'm just upset that you said 'lol' out loud."

Not to sound like a tradwife or anything but I genuinely believe that everyone should learn how to make bone broth (or, as I affectionatly call it, scrap stew). I'm not gonna call it an easy or simple recipe because you do have to let it simmer for 11 hours and strain it, but if you have a day off to make it its relatively low-effort and cost-efficient and also is a great base for upping the nutritional value of simple foods like cup ramen or plain rice when you're in a pinch for time, as well as cutting down on veggie waste (anything starting to wilt or scraps like carrot peelings can be tossed in there and still make a good broth)

Hi! With your stargazers au, what radio symbols do you use with Alastor's powers? What do those symbols mean and is there some special thought behind choices in symbols?

📻: "These ones, my dear?"

Keen eye! They're actually various electrical symbols for radio stations and are NOT VOODOO at all. As I'm not a practitioner of the Vaudoux religion, I didn't feel qualified enough to represent their practices all willy nilly. Though Alastor is still very much an actual Creole Vodouisant who lived in New Orleans Louisiana in my #HHStargazersAU! This design choice for his magic came to mind when I realized that since I couldn't use the more natural voodoo deer side of him, I could just shift focus to his more electronic radio hosting aspect. Which actually had symbolisms of their own! Be it his radio symbols or sound waves. Pictograms that were likely used on signs, books, or instructions, and such. That's how his green spells came to be in my story and they're usually just the general symbols for radio! ^v^
