The day I decide not to hold back on my art and draw with no fear is the day society progresses 🫶🏼

I need codependent Danny/Jason as a little treat (for me) and I love the idea of them having some sort of instant connection the moment they meet (bc ghost stuff idk)

Danny who's been dropped in Gotham with no way home (alt universe??) and he's been here for 36 hours and having a Very bad time senses a liminal being and immediately latches onto them heedless of the fact that his new best friend is shooting at some seedy guys in an alley and goes off about how stressed he is and how he can't make it back to the ghost zone and what a bad day he's been having (and it's important to note Danny is a littol ghost boy literally hanging off of Jason's neck as he floats aimlessly) and Jason is like "who are you??" And Danny is like "oh sorry I'm Danny lol" and then just continues lamenting his woes

And honestly ? This might as well happen. Nothing about this Danny guy(is he human?) gives Jason a bad vibe and tbh he's never felt more calm and level headed before so he just keeps up his usual Red Hood patrol and doesn't even think about it when he heads back to a safehouse and feeds Danny dinner (breakfast) before crashing for half the day

The only thing I actually need is Jason meeting up with the bats for some sort of Intel meeting and they're like "uhhh who's that" and Jason is like "that's Danny." And does not elaborate (very ".... What do you have there?" "A smoothie" vibes)

And it takes them a while to realize that these two have known each other for less than 12 hours and are literally attached at the hip

Hey Laurent, Maybe it was all of you NOT being open about anything that put him under intense mental and emotional pressure for one of the most physical weekends on the calendar? And maybe, it was the way that allowed every so-called reporter in the paddock to say the nastiest shit to his face and call it journalism.

this is gonna be such a bog standard joelguy post but anyone ever think about how so many of joels recent-ish duos are so. snappy. comparing him to fire is overdone but whenever he's with someone they legitimately do just get on like a house on fire. every dynamic he's in they're always just biting at each other. pearl iskall gem etho shane fwhip even sausage to an extent. not to mention jimmy oli lizzie and scott. what is his Deal

i want to fall in love in a way that always gives me something positive to think of like i want to love someone so much that i know i can send my thoughts in their direction to calm myself down and get away from everything else for a bit i don’t know i guess i just want something good to think about

what is the biggest type of dragon in your dragonrider setting? conversely, are there any that are too small to ride that might serve other purposes? i'm interested in the extremes.

also, how intelligent are they?

they get pretty big. i haven't fully ironed out the size classes but pictured here is a matriarch (gold dragon analogue) being escorted by a much smaller class (foreground) as they fly over a river valley. the matriarch acts as a mobile radio tower/traffic controller for her brood (as does the crew on-board). with extreme high aspect ratio wings and six jet runes her flight is almost effortless.

i haven't decided about the smallest ones just yet because i'll be so real i did not care for fire lizards in pern and preferred to think more about the dragon & rider dynamic. i'd say the smallest is like what you see pictured here in the fg.

they are extremely intelligent; the ability to harness electromagnetic waves and the jet runes themselves are all draconic in origin, and these technologies were shared with humans, who could replicate them using their own manufacturing expertise. i guess it might be easier to think of the humans as the dragons' kobolds lol - fun little guys who enrich the dragons' lives and contribute their own expertise (medical techniques, materials technology, agriculture and so on). it is a symbiotic relationship, the dragons are given equal representation in governing decisions etc

I think the thing that gets me about the mag 141 post-statement scene isn't just that jon is being a real motherfucker, it's that he's being a particular kind of motherfucker that is very uncharacteristic of him in the middle of an arc where he's otherwise trying very hard to behave well in his interpersonal relationships. the "well maybe you don't like that I just did something really bad but you didn't stop me soooo..." angle echoes elias's "you didn't want this but you did choose it" line, and jon is usually all about taking all possible responsibility all of the time. it's like he's deliberately trying to turn his conscience / his self off and act more like he thinks a ruthless avatar ought to.

I dislike takes that Danse would be just as conservative in modernized aus when it's clearly shown his staunch views of things come from his time in the Brotherhood and his deep-rooted desire to belong to something with a greater purpose.

Not to mention lines that show much more open-mindedness that get overlooked for his harsher sentiments when you first meet him. Like the oppurtunity to be a part of something is why Danse fell so far into Brotherhood dogma and it doesn't negate the offense things he does but I feel like it's just lazy to be like "hmmm he'd def be racist" just so it aligns to his BoS beliefs.

I like cutting Dylan’s hand off for the drama it brings to his character arc, but the alternative has its charms because he gets to have this little moment before the human murder spree that is Laura comes along.

they're gym buddies :)

btw everything going on with kristen and cassandra is good and in-character you just don’t know her like i do lol

[rearranging-deck-chairs]

do you think that what the doctor usually feels for companions, rather than romantic or sexual attraction, might just be idolisation?

[akkivee]

another piece of relevant information i think you all need to know from the hypster magazine is that hitoya recently published a book!!!!

the book itself is irrelevant tho, he held a book talk and signing event and all hundred or so seats sold out since y’know, the hypmic boys are technically idols in their universe and everyone wants to see drb participants, but bc of that a bunch of tickets had been scalped and only a handful showed up so hitoya got on the phone and called a bunch of people and got the scalpers arrested, some of which were in the crowd, and there was cheering, the audience clapped and obama was there—

The most dangerous duo in fandom is when a popular author and a popular artist team up
