Still needs some attention but it is getting there

[demonic0angel]

Duke: Thanks for the copy of lecture notes. I owe you one

Jazz: you can pay me back by introducing me to the guy that picked you up last Tuesday

Duke: guy?

Jazz: with the bike

Duke:

Jazz: white patch in his hair

Duke: Jason?

(… out of everyone, you chose Duke? 😭 /nm)

Part 2

Duke approached Jason like he was walking to the guillotine.

Jason raised an eyebrow. He stepped off of his bike, inspecting him. “What’s wrong with you?”

Duke sighed deeply. Then he handed him a piece of paper. Jason stared at it blankly without taking it. When Duke pushed it into his face, Jason finally snatched it and looked at the contents, which were a string of neatly written numbers. A phone number, to be exact.

“… okay. Is this your teacher’s number or something?” Jason was especially baffled. Usually, it was a combination of Dick, Alfred, or Bruce who made the phone calls to teachers. Sometimes, it was Tim, but it was never Jason.

“No. A friend of mine wanted to give you her phone number.”

Jason sneered, crinkling the paper. He was about to toss it away when Duke suddenly said, “You’ll regret that.”

Jason paused, still clenching the paper. “Pardon?”

Duke sighed. “I know I’m going to regret this, but you’ll regret it even more than me if you throw that paper away. I swear to Nightwing’s ass, she is absolutely your type. You’re making the biggest mistake of your life if you throw that away.”

“I’m pretty sure the biggest mistake of my life was dying,” Jason deadpanned.

Duke rolled his eyes. He pulled out his phone, scrolled for a moment, and then brought up his Instagram feed, where an image of a woman was sitting at a table, smiling at the camera.

She was drop dead gorgeous, enchanting enough to make the dead revive to see her one last time, lovely enough to make the clouds move to use the sun’s light as a spotlight for her, and beautiful enough to cause a world war if she even shed a single tear.

She had red hair like fire lilies, eyes like crystalline waters, looked tall, and had a sense of otherworldliness to her like she was a goddess from heaven that came to the mortal realm to grace everyone with her presence.

Jason scrubbed his eyes and looked again, eyes nearly falling from his skull. He blinked rapidly, almost wondering if this was real.

Was it humanly possible to be this good-looking?

“I know,” Duke deadpanned, sounding like he had aged 60 years in an instant. “And yes, it’s real. I see her in real life. She likes books, is super nice and helps everyone, is a huge nerd, and likes ‘bad boys with motorcycles’. Her words, which makes me want to puke.”

Jason unclenched his suddenly sweaty palms, quickly smoothed out the paper, and then clapped Duke on the shoulder. “You’ve done me a great service today,” Jason said gravely. “I won’t ever forget your help today.”

“I think I’m going to throw myself off the Clocktower,” Duke said.

“You have helped create a union of two hearts on this day. I could shine your shoes right now if you wanted.”

“Please don’t. Seeing you on your knees would make me actually lose my lunch for real.”

Jazzprowl detective au but one of them is still a alien robot while the other one is a human

Now imagine with me, either Jazz or Prowl, meeting the other whilist they work to solve crime and then they meet the other as he is a new hire or something and then they clock that "hey, something is off with this guy."

together they both solve crime and like, think the other is a criminal or something because of the just sheer vibe they give off, staring into space, robotic movement, not even taking the time to eat or drink AND like?? he doesn’t have many documents of identification?? how’d he even get in?

like?? BLINK MOTHERFUCKER??

the new hire's desk has a radio on it, always tuned to static when he’s present, and that is like so suspicious to the other, its like, they're waiting for a message from someone?

in the cybertronian end, think something like the bumblebee movie, where prime sends autobots out and scatter to locate like a home for them or something

so, the cybertronian other will like, flee and disguise himself as a regular old police car but get like, mistaken for their own and the human half takes the bot to the station where they can experience what they do and stuff

so!! they get intrigued by the little organic’s work

and he wants in

could it be weeks or just days where they make themselves a holoform and like get themselves in the station to work and coincidentally gets partnered up with the human that they’re so interested by

while the human also coincidentally suggested that they work together and for the other to shadow his detective work

Anyway thats all i have in my head, i just needed to spout this because itll just be stuck in my head forever lol, this is also like, my first ever time of making these kinds of long posts

and theres the au that originated here on Tumblr where decepticons are Cybertronian but the autobots are humans (i cant find it from my reblog account) and i thought hey, i like secret identity aus, secret keeping, AND the uncanny valley that many add to holoforms so i had this idea

And if theres any errors, forfive those lmao i have a killer migraine

UPDATE

I drew them!!

[sadclowncentral]

I haven't heared the door knobs and fascism thing before, can you elaborate?

gladly! i was referencing one of the aphorisms by Theodor W. Adorno, Do Not Knock, one of my favourite philosophical texts, certainly top 5.

I would summarise it for you, but it's quite a short text and i am not embarrassing myself by trying to summarise Adorno, so I have transcribed it for you under the cut:

60. Do Not Knock

Technology is making gestures precise and brutal, and with them men. It expels from movements all hesitation, deliberation, civility. It subjects them to the implacable, as it were ahistorical demands of objects, Thus the ability is lost, for example, to close a door quietly and discreetly, yet firmly. Those of cars and refrigerators have to be slammed, others have the tendency to snap shut by themselves, imposing on those entering the bad manners of not looking behind them, not shielding the interior of the house which receives them. The new human type cannot be properly understood without awareness of what the is continuously exposed to from the world of things about him, even in his most secret innervations.

What does it mean for the subject that there are no more casements windows to open, but only sliding frames to shove, not gentle latches but turnable handles, no forecourt, no doorstep before the street, no wall around the garden? And which diver is not tempted, merely but the power of his engine, to wipe out the vermin of the street pedestrians, children and cyclists? The movements machines demand of their users already have the violent, hard-hitting, unresting jerkiness of Fascist maltreatment.

Not least to blame for the withering of experience is the fact that things, under the law of pure functionality, assume a form that limits contact with them to mere operation, and tolerates no surplus, either in freedom of conduct or in autonomy of things, which would survive as the core of experience, because it is not consumed by the moment of action.

Fanfic Rec 7 of ?

Who You Gonna Call by jaemyun on Ao3, I will never escape the DC/DP crossovers. Especially not one this good- I have been doing nothing but grinning and laughing looking forward to the next chapter and I, RAN. OUT.

I’m devastated.

Ongoing work, with highly active author. I could cry- it’s got 34 chapters currently with a word count of 119K+. Pretty solid, chapters feel almost endless until you reach the end.

My rambling bro-

I got blind sighted, I’ve had this Ao3 work open in my tabs for the longest time. I know I found it on tumblr, thanks tumblr, and the original author had posted it to tumblr…

(If I find the original fic I’ll put a link to the author’s blog.)

I kind of didn’t know what to expect from this fic, since I had forgotten why I opened it up in my tabs in the first place. But it was so good, I read it all in two days. I would have done it in one but it was 4am. I know, I am weak.

It was refreshing to read, is the only way I can explain it. It wasn’t the usual DC/DP fic drama. I mean it IS but different in a way that’s just so nice. The humor is spot on and catches you off guard almost. Serious moments are serious, and emotionally charged moments are emotional.

There is a pairing between Danny and Tim and it felt organic in their interactions. Not pushed it felt like you were walking along with them in their thoughts. The characters feel like people, and the friends felt like actual friends. I like that a lot.

There are a few plot twists, that catch you off guard, and foreshadowed events, that you can pick up on. But it’s not jarring, except the cliffhangers. It’s probably why I kept saying “One more chapter.”

The fic was published September 10th, 2024 last updated today yesterday on March 19th, 2025.

I’ll drop the link, check it out. I really liked it, very, very much.

[oceanblueeeeee]

Go listen to it. It’s great stuff

Better Kate than never (dp x dc)

She drives in the rain, the wind whipping her face, her hair whirling in every direction. The red strands form a halo around her face as the engine rumbles.

Her sister is dead and her father is a liar.

She drives as far out as she can. She's not really looking for anywhere to go, but as she makes turns and twists, it seems something in her has already decided where to go.

The Kane graveyard is not lavish, but it is enduring.

She gets down and leaves the motorcycle on the side of the path. There will be no-one to steal it. So few people visit as is, and tonight she is to be the only visitor. Her father has likely drunk himself into a stupor for the night. It seems they are alike in more ways she had previously thought.

Her eyes graze her mother's grave and she brushes her hand against it by habit. Then she looks to the side at the smaller, delicately carved gravestone.

Her sister will have to be buried for the second time.

The thought is suddenly too much and she steps back, and away and again until she's running away and away.

She stops beneath a tree with reaching, sheltering foliage, and the rain stops pelting her. Her face is numb with the cold.

Her breath comes fast but controlled and her trained-in instincts make her look up and observe her surroundings. They are at the edge of the forest surrounding the cemetery and it is dark. Between the trees, however, it seems she can make out a glow.

She pushes past the branches and bushes, into the deep and the dark, her eyes on the dim light. She nudges one branch away from her face and finds herself looking at the source of the glow sitting atop an overgrown grave.

"Hello, Kate," says the woman sitting on the grave, her eyes a piercing, unnatural green. "It's nice to finally meet you. My name is Jasmine."

Goodbye to a World by UkiyoeBirds (it's me).

Ch. 5! Dust to Dust

Summary:

“Wh-who are you?” D-16 asked. The spark ghost tilted his helm and gazed at him with unseeing optics. “Don’t you remember?” He gurgled out, more of that strange pink fluid seeping out behind a cracked battle mask. The specter took a bloody breath. “You killed me.”

-

The mines are haunted and Prowl unwillingly gains a conscience.

Words alone cannot describe how awesome this is. So read it and find out!

I do not own this fanfic, or the manga. That honour goes to the creators.

[spaceghostswim]

sooo i just found out that adult swim is about to air the latest anime from the creator of cowboy bebop & the director of john wick...

i am immediately so invested in the story, been a bebop fan since i was like 11 so this is huge!

and oh good gracias i am obsessed with the character designs!! we have proper black representation, the female characters don't look overly sexualised at all & they all are going to have incredible backstories and character development if it's remotely like bebop was.

also the music nerd in me is going nuts at the three main composers, Kamasi Washington, Bonobo and Floating Points?! I'm in jazz heaven just imagining it.

I have to emphasize how excited I am about Doug's character!! I immediately wanted to hear creators such as FD Signifier's thoughts 🥹🖤

here's the translation (it's googled so forgive me) i got for Doug's character sheet, he looks absolutely gorgeous and I'm so excited to meet him:

Doug, Originally from Nigeria.

He is the brains behind the team and is involved in planning operations.

He also has high physical ability.

He appears calm and collected, but actually has a passionate heart.

He majored in physics as a student and admired Dr. Skinner. He is empathetic, sensitive, and pays attention to small details. And he has a lot of pride.

I'm pretty sure it will debut on April 6 on adult swim's toonami block (USA obvs), I am not from there but I do live on the island of pirates so I'll get to it. I haven't been this hyped for an anime in so long, I hope some of you will enjoy it with me!
