#it's one of those silly thoughts

[skycapt4in]

it's stupid but every day i fight with myself to not give noah the ability to shoot lasers via his mask's eyes. the only reason i think i want it to be a thing is purely because it'd look cool, but it'd give him more of a power boost than i want him to have at this point.

the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again

Everyone's quick to point out that Zhongli collecting antiques is very dragon-coded behavior, but I would like to point out that Neuvillette has followed the same pattern of collecting but with people.

He started with the Melusines, then let one or two Fontainians in, and now thanks to Focalors exposing him to all the struggles of the people through the court, he's basically taken the entire nation under his wing.

So, I propose: a Neuvillette who gets increasingly more proprietary over the Fontainians the longer time goes on.

He's like "I'm still an outsider to humanity and I must maintain impartiality" but then he's over at the cafe giving concerned advice on people's orders. "I've been told too much salt is not good for the heart..." Buys Chiori a pair of safety scissors because cutting fabric for so many hours can result in a decrease in careful behavior. Calls ahead to the Inazuman embassy when he hears Xavier is going back to film another movie so they know to be extra polite to their foreign visitor. Loans his coat to strangers when it starts raining. Fruits in his pockets at all times for the kids. Public safety campaign on the dangers of over-drinking Fonta.

The Fontainians aren't sure what brought this on but it's kind of like having the world's prettiest and most dangerous grandpa so they're all just politely rolling with it.

Neuvillette, meanwhile, is like a fluffed up bird on its nest, exceedingly proud of his little country without the slightest hint of self-awareness about that at all.

tbh my latest biggest theory for why HoO and onwards is such a dramatic drop in quality and consistency is just. Rick stopped making teaching guides.

Like, the Lightning Thief teacher's guide is SUPER in-depth with even stuff like sources about middle grade child psychology and exact specifications of where he's applying that, explaining what different character's goals/motivations are, their dynamics with each other and their environments, etc etc. Even specifying which specific myths certain plot elements are supposed to reference or be about.

That stuff just doesn't exist for later books. There's activity guides and smaller, significantly more simple teacher guides for later books but they don't go into anywhere NEAR the same level of depth. The TLT one is a full lesson plan that breaks down the book at every level and explains what's going on and more or less why Rick did that. The others are all basically just glossaries of terminology and some simple question guides.

And they didn't even use the TLT teacher's guide for the Disney+ show because they clearly aren't adhering to any of what's discussed in that breakdown of the book.

By creating a teaching guide alongside writing the actual book, that's forcing you to document what you're doing, why, your sources, and information about your characters and the story they're in. It's like an even more in-depth version of a series bible. But that's lacking for later books (and etc) and it shows because that level of thought and depth and attention just isn't there anymore.

On the topic of wrinkles, I wish more Total Drama characters had "imperfections" in their appearences.

Owen's crows feet? Iconic. Dawn's eyebags? Stunning.

Eva's unibrow and body hair is so refreshing to see on a show from 2007. Especially since it's never used to fuel any jokes!

Cody, Mike (and his system), Rodney and Mickey have tooth gaps. Leshawna, Beth and Amy have moles. Courtney and Harold have freckles. Kelsey the Trent superfan has acne! Give me more of this!!

Give me characters with skin conditions like rosacea and vitiligo! Give me characters with scars!

DP x DC prompts

Just a couple of ideas that have me by the choke hold right now

Danny is Jason's older brother who died and got reincarnated. After circumstances force him to Gotham, he finds out that his beloved little brother is now a crime lord

As all the others leave the league of assassins, Danny is left behind to be molded by Ra's Al Ghul. One day Ra's decides to unleash his prized assassin on Gotham

Danny moves to Gotham and starts helping out at a local pet shelter (mainly so cujo can make friends). It is there where he runs into one Damian Wayne who is setting off his must protect senses

Danny becomes a back door engineer. He fixes things for cheap no questions asked. No one can beat him when it comes to using whatever you have laying around to build something from scratch. That's why he's Red Hood's personal mechanic

Danny is a clone of Batman and Superman. Superman is grateful that he can finally do right by his clone. Conner is exceedingly jealous of Danny's treatment. Batman is contemplating taking his friend to court for custody. And Danny is just vibing because now he has two powerful dads who won't let the giw get their hands on him.

And the final one that is really rotating around in my head:

Danny is Batman's informant. He can get any info the bat needs in record time. Batman is the only one who knows about Danny and his abilities so whenever anyone else catches a glimpse of him, they think it's Bruce's secret love child. Damian is not happy about this.

Thinking of vlr Akane is so conflicting cuz on one hand I’m so upset that she doesn’t ever get a moment to just rest and enjoy being alive again I’m upset that she just gets deeper and deeper into this role she’s built for herself and she loses her humanity and will never ever be that girl who died in the incinerator. But on the other hand, I need her to get so, so much worse I need her to be so obsessed with perfection she has this unique ability to change the course of history and she will burn everything and everyone to the ground in the blink of an eye if it means she can "reset" and get a perfect timeline and I desperately need her to never be satisfied with anything because really, is there anything that’s worth all the damage she’s caused?

Ahhh! You're Number 2 contents are amazing and I can tell there will be more in the future. I'm loving this ship even more from you.

Ngl, I didn't expect so many people to get invested in those three lol. But I'm always happy to hear more people are joining me on this! It was just a crack joke at first, born from this Venn diagram I made for whoever knows the reason.

i think a lot of writers including me need to embrace the fact that sometimes your work is recognisably influenced by something and that's not a bad thing! i took the scent of magic from holly webb's rose series, my worldbuilding is inspired by leigh bardugo's six of crows, phillip pullman played a huge part in inspiring me to write grand, sweeping arcs like in his dark materials, tolkien made me want to write about travellers journeying across treacherous land, the list goes on and on and on. and i hope that people can see some influences in my work, that means i'm doing it well! and they stretch all the way back to when i was a tween just getting into fantasy and "grown up" books. would love to hear about who has inspired other people's writing: if you write gothic, what books have you infused your work with? fellow fantasy writers, what have you borrowed and tweaked from?
