[harringtonswriting]

last line tag game!

thank u so so much for the tag kait !! <3

here's a lil blurb from the latest spidey!steve fic i'm slowly working on:

“Because I almost lost you!” The flood gates open, and words come pouring out of Steve’s mouth before he can think to stop himself. “I could have lost you, and when I saw Goblin with you I thought I was going to lose you and I could never live with myself if that happened. If I lose you then there’s no point! The mask, the suit, everything! I won't keep going without you. The world can live without Spider-Man but I could never live without you!”

tags (no pressure at all!): @sunshinesteviee @stevebabey @stevestummy and everyone else who wants to do it !!

"So, I talked to Clark today."

"Hm," Bruce grunts, as the voice of his eldest fills the Batcave. He has a brief idea of what this is about.

"What did you do, Bruce?"

Bruce leans back in his seat. "When Superman first created an account on Twitter, Clark figured it would only be a matter of time before Luthor followed suit. So, he approached me for help. He had the idea of taking up every handle that Luthor could possibly use for himself." He pauses. "I thought it was childish and irresponsible."

"Naturally."

"Nevertheless, I helped him out by developing a program that would generate all possible combinations of usernames involving the words "Lex" and "Luthor." It developed all possible combinations by cross-referencing—"

"I get the jist, thanks."

Bruce grunts. "So we generated the usernames, and Clark used the Batcomputer and his superspeed to create all the accounts. That very night, Luthor created his own account without being able to use 'Lex Luthor' in his name."

Dick whistles, and he can hear another voice whooping in the background. "I see Tim is visiting Bludhaven."

Dick ignores the change in subject. "Wait, is that the day I found the Batcomputer keyboard completely annihilated? Because you and Clark wanted to pull a fast one on Luthor?"

"...There were a lot of usernames."

"Well played, B! I didn't know you had it in you! I apologize for all the times I called you humorless."

"Hm."

"So that's why you and Clark were giggling so much that morning, huh?"

Bruce stills. "I didn't... giggle."

Dick laughs on the other side, while Haley's barks and Tim's laughter filter in from the background. "I heard you, Bruce. I was there."

"At 6 in the morning?"

"Yeah, I wanted to use the bars in the cave, but when I showed up, the both of you were bent over the Batcomputer giggling about something." He chuckles lightly. "I didn't say anything because I knew you wouldn't tell me anyway."

"Hn."

"Oh, chill out. So I saw you being a human being, big deal." Dick sounds exasperated, but Bruce can hear the smile in his voice. He allows himself a small one as well.

"Hm."

"So, was it worth it?"

Bruce thinks about the way Luthor's face had turned red with rage, so red that he could make it out with startling clarity even from the heavily pixelated picture Clark had sent him. The picture, of course, had been taken when he'd gone over to LexCorp as Superman to discreetly spy through Luthor's window and enjoy his reaction in real time.

"It was."

Amidst Dick's snickers, Tim's voice pipes up. "For amateurs, it was a solid prank, Bruce. But I think it's time to take it to the next logical step."

Bruce stops. He takes a moment to think about the millions of possible consequences and ramifications that this could lead to. He considers his options. He comes to a definitive decision.

"I'm listening."

Here's the link to the video Bruce linked if anyone is interested. It's actually really funny, I recommend checking it out.

The negative star power is eating him up from the inside, but he keeps telling himself that he doesn't care. Oh well.

I'm so crazy about him it's not even funny anymore, he takes like 99% of my thoughts...

Some closeups vvv

[surrealsunset]

my page for @dgm20thproject that i forgot to post...! i worked on the glitch effects on this until the very anguish of this page was screaming at me straight into my burnt out retinas lol

[magentagalaxies]

vent incoming:

got my grades back for my courses last semester and most of it was to be expected, mostly A's, maybe an A-, etc. but i honestly can't get over the fact that my independent study (the buddy cole documentary) was for some reason given a B. like sure getting a B isn't bad per se, I usually get at least one B every semester and i honestly don't really care about what my exact gpa is as long as i can graduate, but come on. this school put me through months of psychological torment over this project and didn't even have the nerve to give me a B+??? i'm still coping with the self-doubt they forced on me and this bullshit is not helping!!

[wing-rain]

Women in dresses. This has been a PSA

Bonus below the cut, the gem close up:

I spent too damn long on the gem to not show it off lmao

[communist-ojou-sama]

"Polish" and Ukrainian are what? 90%+ spoken mutual intelligibility? The city of Lvov was historically considered part of "Greater Poland". Don't you see? "Poles" are actually just Ukrainians, and insist on "Polish identity" purely because they hate Jews and want to deprive them of a state. Don't succumb to Pollywood lies. There's no such thing as "Poland".

It's been well over a week now (maybe two??) but I'm still plugging away (ever-so-slowly) at this vignette about Zara and Rook. Zara's POV is a lot of fun to write, now that I have a better sense of her character. Writing this has really solidified in my mind the kind of person she is and how she acted when she was Rook's captain and mentor. She's very calm and collected in comparison to Rook, even when under a lot of stress.

Anyways, have a little snippet that I'm proud of from today, featuring the origins of the coin trick!

Pacing back and forth across her cabin floor, she rolled the coin back and forth over her knuckles again and again. The motion was easy, almost mindless, more muscle memory than real intent. The coin trick had been her favorite way to soothe her nerves for years now. She’d picked it up out of idle curiosity after watching a street performer dining in a tavern in Bon Largo, who had chatted with her for over an hour as she fretted about something mundane, never once dropping the coin from their fingers. The same performer had later tried to steal her coin purse and ended up with nothing but a new scar for their trouble, but Zara had learned two important things from the encounter: Not to trust a warm smile and a pretty face, and that keeping her hands moving kept her mind from dwelling too much on worrisome things.

one-time tagging @space-writes because they commented on my tags about Rook learning the coin trick from Zara in one of my other snippets from this piece.

When the inspiration hits at 3 AM:

[ace-of-spaders]

Why are we not talking, though, about the fact that in the season 4's finale Rumple - our Rumple!* - put an end to Isaac's fairytale while being fully aware that it would cost him his life - thus, essentially, sacrificing himself... again - because it was the right thing to do and because it would save others from the hell Isaac put them in?

Why do I think Rumple did just that, you might ask? Why do I think that it wasn't the Light One following Issac's command at the church but our Rumple, awake and fully aware of what was happening and what was at stake?

Well, because his whole behavior in the church scene is way off from the Light One's behavior and more akin to our Rumple's behavior. Because for some reason, while Issac told him to stop Regina, she wasn't the one he attacked... no, he got into a duel with Emma first, then Henry. Because our Rumple, the master strategist he is, could have predicted how this whole thing would pan out and known that attacking Henry would push Regina to sacrifice herself, which would ultimately lead to the fairytale's undoing. Because the way he looked when he injured Regina, when he said "It's done"... it was a look of a man who knew exactly what would happen - the only one who wasn't surprised by Regina's action - and regretted it but did everything to make it happen because that was the right thing to do...

Because he called them "dearies", for God's sake, and that's like a big neon sign saying "the king is back" (which parallels nicely with that scene in 7x04 now)!

Oh, and remember when later Belle comes to his shop all furious and says that she's there to make sure that he won't hurt anyone else? I believe Rumple was gonna say "No, you don't understand. I only did what I thought was [right]" before the darkness got the better of him and, well, it fits perfectly with the idea that it was him undoing the fairytale - and not the Light One doing Isaac's bidding at the church - because it was the right thing to do.

MSBY Black Jackals' bikini spotted at the JCPenney! 😭😭😭 I had to do it

I ain't proud of it, I don't know what the hell is up with the shading or face - I know that's not how things work, if I was using my computer I would have taken more time with it BUT GUYS I DID A SILLY, STUPID ART THING. I used to draw stupid shit all the time when I was a kid and man, it was fun.
