#lmao forgot to put tags on this oops

[1001aus]

Natural portals are common, but covering the whole of the universe only a fraction of a fraction lead to Earth. And Danny has gotten used to the convenience of the stable portals, he doesn't have the patience to wait for a portal to open. So he's working on it—learning to create portals.

The trickiest part is opening portals from the Zone and ending up when and where you want to go. That's the part he's working on now.

Of course, he gets it wrong the first time.

Oh, it's Earth alright, about the right time period even, but if the Justice League existed back home he sure as hell would have heard about it. Sam would have had plenty to say, too.

There are also a lot of references to major cities he's never heard of. The city his portal dropped him in, Gotham, and their rival-sister city Metropolis. Some cities on the other coast called Star and Coast City, but no one talks about LA or San Diego. If they exist they're second fiddle to the cities that have their own heroes.

(Green Lantern is a space hero! Too bad he's a cop, though.)

Gotham has... bats?

Eh, he can figure it out while exploring.

And there's plenty to explore! Even the newer buildings have gargoyles all over them. Danny is drifting invisibly along the rooftops naming them when he sees someone his age being dragged into the most suspicious van.

He drops down to street level, crawls intangibly into the van and considers how obvious he wants to be. Maybe he doesn't want anyone to see him just yet, but that's not exactly a problem.

One of the kidnappers has the other teenager by the arm, but they're all focused on their argument at the front.

The alley is Hood's territory, Signal patrols the Narrows during the day, even the Bat comes out during the day if one of the rogues attack.

Honestly he's not sure what's going on with the hero-villain situation in this city.

A sharp turn sends everyone reeling and kicks off another round of shouting. It also leaves their hostage sprawled across the floor of the van. Danny creeps forward and grabs the teenager's ankle, lets his power turn him invisible and intangible.

The van drives on without them down a few more blocks and around another corner.

Danny drops the other teenager on the sidewalk, visible and tangible again.

"I haven't seen you before."

"They didn't see me at all." Danny grins. "See you later."

He fades invisible again and puts a hand over his mouth to hide his laughter.

The press was going wild. Headlines like, "A bat unmasked?" and "Bat kid gone wild!" which Danny thought was uncalled for. He didn't even do anything that bad. All he did was rescue those kids and preformed a perfect flying kick to the mans jaw! He didn't even knock out a tooth!

Oh. And he wasn't even one of the bats.

Danny had only been in this dimension for a day and had no idea what was going on. He didn't actually have plans to stay in this world long so when he saw a guy around his own age being held hostage by guys in ski masks he just acted. He just flew invisibly to the hostage and took them.

By the time the captors realized thier hostage was missing they were long gone.

Turns out the guys name was Tim and he was rich, which honestly explains the kidnapping. Tim had a lot of questions and Danny just wanted to know where to drop Tim off at.

Later that night he gets to meet the bat himself and of course he trolls Batman and makes the man chase after him around the city. This turns out to be a big mistake. As Phantom Danny wouldn't dare use any of the fighting techniques his mother had thought him. His mother had trained in a very exclusive dojo by a legendary master who only ever took 7 pupils in his lifetime and his mom taught this stuff to Danny up until the accident. So if Phantom used these techniques his mom would know immediately that it was him.

But here no one knows who he is.

No one knows about him or Phantom.

And he doesn't plan to stay...so why not go ham? Thus Danny play fighting the bat across streets and rooftops, through bars and crowded shopping districts all while giving witty banter.

It probably didn't help that he was a very Robin shaped boy...so naturally all those photos of him and the dark knight wound up in the papers. Danny thought it was hilarious until he had his fill of chaos and tried to leave...only to realize he couldn't.

He was trapped in this dimension with the mess he made. Uh oh.

im such a big fan of ur lovebug/corabug art that i literally spiralled into the ship bcz of u

THIS HAD ME SMILING AND KICKING MY FEET WHEN I SAW THIS YESTERDAY THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!

my goal of becoming that one corabug guy is slowly becoming real

wanted to make at least a little corabug doodle for you so i went ahead and made some at work today :)

This is how the episode went right

Teased this fella on twitter a teeny bit but another mlp self insert for me because I can't help myself and wanted a musketeer-themed sona anyway so

Its Toyhouse Page has a bit more info but the general gist of it is that it's an old equestrian legend that accidentally gets transported to current day equestria due to Twilight trying out a new spell

It decided to stay instead of having her send it back and now it's dating Princess Cadance and Shining Armor 😌

(It/Its pronouns only for it please!!!)

Minors and Proshippers do not interact

Made this for my singlet partner to help try and explain system stuff but I like a lot of the little doodles so it can go on tumblr too :-)

[transmasculineswag]

Transmasc Swag Polls- ROUND 2

CANONICITY LEVELS- HARRY: Because I Said So

MANDARK: OOPS! Accidental Trans Boy, Subtext/ Coded (but come on he has a trans lived experience IN CAN0N) Propaganda and other info under the cut. PLEASE DO NOT DEADNAME MANDARK IN THE TAGS.

MEDIA?

Disco Elysium, Dexter's Laboratory (and FusionFall since I used Mandark's render)

HARRY PROPAGANDA-

Idk, I think it would just be kind of funny if he was trans and completely forgot

His colleagues can ask him if he lost his dick. I just like the implication that it has happened before, lmao

MANDARK PROPAGANDA-

Has a canonical girly dead name

His parents always treat him like a girl, despite him stating he doesn't like it

When he first meets Dexter, dexter calls him a girl, he says "I'm not a girl. I'm a guy". Dexter later asks his name, Mandark answers with his dead name and Dexter laughs and states "what guy has a girly name like that??"

The moment he decides to change his name he just HAS to include MAN in it

Dexter never calls him by his dead name after he changes his name. Deedee and his parents, however, deadname him constantly and as frequently as they can (and ignore him every time he corrects them, acting like they're not listening)

[Pollrunner's Note: Look normally I'd be like fuck it we ball but I'm going to have to put a heavy trigger warning here. Please only watch this if you are in the right headspace for seeing misgendering, deadnaming, and infantalization. Some of this stuff is genuinely hard to watch]

This video says it all I would also become a villain

writing patterns tag game from @bumblepony 💞 (had this saved as a draft but forgot to publish it, oops!)

rules: list the first line of your last 10 (posted) fics and see if there's a pattern!

(i only have eight published fics so i guess we'll do eight!)

collaborators: It’s eerily quiet when Joel wakes up on the floor of the motel room on the outskirts of Kansas City.

a heart, a hand to hold onto: Ellie wakes up with the same splitting headache and stuffy nose she’s had since they got back to Jackson two weeks ago. 

the snowy day: The first snowflakes of the afternoon have just started to lazily fall when Joel turns the corner to go home. 

me and my dog (and an impossible view): She names the damn dog before he even knows she found it.

summer’s end: “You excited to go to school today?” Ellie asks, kneeling down to help JJ put on his socks while he sits on the bed.

odds & ends: “You’re gonna turn into a damn horse, living off of oats and apples,” Joel says as Ellie sits down across from him at the dining table, which is way too big for two people, and way too fancy for the two of them.

true blue (it feels good to be known so well): When Ellie wakes up on the first day of summer vacation, it smells vaguely like the house is burning down, but she knows by now that it’s just food burning.

if i could give you the moon: Ellie is pretty sure that being ten years old is probably the worst age a person could be, at least if that person is in FEDRA school.

lmao a lot of waking up and dialogue, which i think are two things they say never to start a story with oops oh well 💁🏼‍♀️ obviously a lot of joel and ellie in those opening lines too

tagging whoever wants to play along!!

[crepuscularqueens]

tysm for the tag @sambambucky <3 <3 <3

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

27

2. What’s your total AO3 word count?

193,604

3. What fandoms do you write for?

marvel (mostly sambucky but i've played around with other pairings), the magicians (penntin, queliot, wickoff), ofmd, and one black sails fic (despite that being my main fandom i guess lmao, it's so hard to write for because i can't make it better. i just have to make it worse. and boy do i have plans to make it Worse.) (also i do have an rnm fic, almost forgot about that! i would love to write more i just need the inspiration and motivation to hit at the same time lmao)

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

he kisses me softly to wake me up (by a wild amount, which i think was just luck of timing with that fandom blowing up overnight) flowers for the gentleman (first published sambucky fic. looking back on it it's like... cute but could be better. natasha is in it though) held by you (felled by you) (my fav of the ofmd fics i put up, personally) what you wanted (first of my tfatws series that accompanied the show. literally wrote each fic as the episodes came out, it was so fun and idk how tf i kept up with it) hear my name in your mouth and i'm done for (hahaha. yeah.)

5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

i love responding to comments hehehe! bc i love getting responses when i comment on other author's fics idk it just feels so fun! and when you notice the same people commenting on your fics idk it's just. holding hands with all of you love you sm <3

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

omg uhhhh jinx i think mine also be a samsteve one lol. stuck in the bed where we lie bc i love writing angst but i usually resolve it? but they're my favorite tragedy forever.

7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

hmmm i guess after it all calms down? resolution of my tfatws series

8. Do you get hate on fics?

not on anything that's still up teehee <3

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

it's mainly what i write haha oops

10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written?

crossover is when there are characters from two separate medias in one fic right? not like taking characters from one universe and putting them in the other? if it's the first then... no not anymore. no further questions.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

not that i know of (i'm not like... overly concerned by the idea)

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

someone once translated a teen wolf fic i wrote into russain

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

no, but i am open to the idea of collaborating like that (i've done events where i drew art to accompany a fic which was really fun and i miss that event a lot)

14. What’s your all time favorite ship?

i am so so bad at picking favorites, but if you want to go by what i have the most fics and wips for it would be sambucky

15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

i want to finish shores begging for big moons so badly im so sorry to everyone because. it was so so fun to write! and i had this big grand plan and knew how it would all work out and then.... i hit a wall and now it's been years and i cry for her every day. i could save her! i could do it! but i also need to reread it bc i can't remember the details anymore lmao. it's a daunting task.

16. What are your writing strengths?

i think like... rhythm if that makes sense? like i get into a groove of this is what is happening, here are the beats, this is the action and this is the dialogue and it flows so nicely and has a good rhythm to it.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

focusing. i get distracted soooo easily, what is that all about haha. ha.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?

i love seeing it in fic! i'm always scared to include it bc i don't want to mess anything up, so i usually have it from another character's POV and that they don't know what's being said. which is a cop out, i know. i should probably be better about looking into translations!

19. First fandom you wrote for?

harry potter (i know. there is no need to talk about it)

20. Favorite fic you’ve written?

how do i choose! tbh it's a tie between i bit the fruit and holy water. don't read into that.

absolute no pressure tags for @dr-lizortecho @unwholesome-gay @verdanthoney @nymhciv !

[angeart]

ask game 12 &13!

yayy more questions! okay i'll start with 13 because it's simpler:

13.Any segment of your work that made you cry while writing it? (because it moved you deeply)

so. i cry easily. but i don't tend to cry while writing, i think? i don't have the greatest memory, so i can't be sure. i remember one time i cried while writing hmtb, but it wasn't because i was moved deeply jcnbjk (it was actually a mellow scene and i just. unexpectedly triggered an unpleasant memory, oops.)

in a way, i think it's easier to get emotional while working on RPs, actually. i might've cried at those in the past, mmh.

now, if you asked me when did i get anxious while writing. that's a whole another thing. i do deal with a lot of heavy emotions in writing, and, yeah. anyway, the answer is yesterday. (hmtb grian is doing perfectly well wdym-) (i had to stop writing after 8 sentences and take a break everything's fine-)

12.Funniest comment you've ever gotten in a piece of work?

this is a fun one! i don't think i have a favourite, i'm not the best with putting things on a scale and deciding that's the most this or that. add my bad memory into the mix, and about a year of writing a multichapter fic, and- well. but! i dug through and made a small collection of comments that amuse me! (there were many more, but i'm trying not to swarm you completely.)

i cannot tell you how much i appreciate and value the comments i get. i read every single one, and they matter a lot! they help me immensely and i am insanely grateful for them. <33

anyway, the collection of comments that make me giggle is under the line!

♥ please, consider this a love letter to all the commenters. ♥

----- questions from >>this ask game<<

[branmuffins22]

Willow Park: 3, 42, 49 from this ask game

I am super curious if this works because from my perspective you're shadowbanned on Tumblr

(Well, I couldn't find it in my inbox or my messages (neither of those features load at all for me), but I found it in my activity feed, so I'll take it!)

3. Obscure headcanon I've got a few for Willow, but my most obscure is probably that Willow wasn't always afraid of ladybugs: she became afraid after Luz went into a bit too much detail telling her how some ladybugs wrecked the Noceda's garden, and Willow interpreted the whole thing as a bit of a horror story about some Horrible Murderous Alien Bug.

42. 3 comfort items - The hairclip with the flower with the eye (obv) - The photo album of the squad's time in the Human Realm - (headcanon, but) A watering can that her dads got her shortly after she switched to the plant track, emblematic of their support.

49. Favorite toy as a child This is a tough one, because we really only see her as a young kid in one episode, in which time she doesn't interact with any toys, and we don't spend a lot of time with kids in general in the show, mostly just teens, so we don't have a great idea of how toys might be different in the Demon Realm. (Doesn't really help that I wasn't much of a toys kid myself, so I'm a bit creatively bankrupt on that front) Perhaps she had a junior gardener's kit? Like, plastic trowel, fake plants with velcro fruits, the whole works? Or maybe she had a plush to match/parallel either Amity's Otabin plush or Hunter's Sprig plush? Something smallish and sentimental... Either way, it was probably destroyed by Boscha when she brought it to school one day, shortly after Amity's party. That feels like appropriate angst.

Thanks for the ask!

Edit: oops forgot to put literally any tags at all lmao

[sharpilu]

RiftClan Year 1

HELLO I AM CLANGENNING AGAIN

i will be blogging every year of my clan (RiftClan) in ClanGen which you can download here ! :D if you don't wanna see these, feel free to block the "riftclangen.blogging" tag i will be using :]

the rest of these wont have a cut-off, but this one will for your convenience <33

the decided lore i'm going with is that these cats were all exiled for standing up to a tyrannical leader from one of the other clans, and after finding a cave with beautiful crystals and water that shone like the night sky, they decided to live there. i will be starting in leaf-bare.

these are my founding cats :D

(i changed Blackshines name to Ashspark after taking the screenshots)

okay i forgot to log some stuff but uhhh Pansypaw went out on his warrior assessment and got bit by an eagle. so. oops lolz. here is Pansypaw being injured and sad.

WAIT CRESTED AND ASH LIKE EACH OTHER TOO LMAO WAIT WAIT POLY???? POLYCULE?????? FUCK YEAH THEY'RE A POLYCULE NOW

"Crestedfeather feels a sense of dread." oh god are you gonna get injured AGAIN- nvm i had her go out with her girlfriends and they're all fine :]

Do you use sarcasm a lot? not really i just like. exhibit a sort of silliness that is similarly not to be taken seriously

What's the first thing you notice about people? probably Cool Outfits or voice due to it taking a bit of warming up before i can like. look at someones face without wanting to faint immediately

What's your eye color? blue with a big creepy black ring around. The scary looker

Scary movie or happy ending? scary movie in theory but ive been wicked anxious lately so i sort of cant stomach much horror rn without it wrecking my vibe. :(

Any special talents? umm. cooking i think B) and i can make a funny trumpet sound with my mouth. and i can play piano pretty good i guess but ive neglected it for ages

What sports do/have you played? ive never been a sports guy, i was an asthmatic kid and people were actively cruel to me in situations because of it so it really put me off sports in general. right now i can kind of only say that i relish in taking pointlessly long walks and i really need to get back into swimming

How tall are you? one hundred sixty five scentimeters or like i think thats just about 5'5

Favorite subject in school? SCIENCE!!!!!!!!! in general! i love you science!!!!!!!

2022 Writing Wrapup

Tagged by: @korblez (ty!!)

Total Words Published: 452,803 words 😳

Additional Words Written: I've got 44,851 strewn through like 20 WIPS at this point lmao

Grand Total of Words: 497,654. Yikes. Before 2022 I'd put maybe 100k words down total in my life, so that's a terrifying number.

Fandoms: Honestly, it's just been Mass Effect all the way down lmao

Highest Everything (raw kudos, hits, comments): Project Sunseeker without a shadow of a doubt. Kinda to be expected all things considered but it's still a scary number yaknow?

Highest Kudos to Hits Ratio: Extended Release - the n7 day posted final chapter from Sunseeker that I forgot I'd planned to finish with (oops)

New Things I Tried: Writing! Actually, y'know, putting words down and publishing them! I cannot stress enough that I published the first chapter of Project Sunseeker having never actually finished a multichaptered work in my life and it's been a STEEP learning curve.

Fic I Spent The Most Time On: Instead of saying the obvious one bc it's already been mentioned at great length, let's go with Beyond Familiar Stars bc putting 80k words down simply takes time no matter how well your brain's vibing.

Fic I Spent The Least Time On: I'm discounting prompts and gifts here bc that's not a fair metric imo and makes things sound like they're less important (when they aren't) but Wipe My Hands Clean was written in like... 13 days straight. Yeah, kinda overdid the NaNoWriMo goal there 😂

Favorite Thing I Wrote: Curiosity Is A Dangerous Concept ties with A Little Too Much Like Me here because they're two very different fics but equally fun and off the cuff!

Favorite Thing I Read: Oh boy, this one's a long one. Let's go with: Broken Mirror by @sparatus, and for that matter the entire exdiff universe Interregnum (Species Swap as a whole for that matter) and Friend of a Friend by @otemporanerys Stellar Parallax and Lost/Found by @korblez Hunger Pangs and Controlled Explosions in Chicago and The Citadel Adventures of Castis Vakarian and Alec Ryder by Missjlh and... let's stop the list there y'know, there's only so much history digging I can do lmao

Writing Goals for 2023: Keep up the momentum! I've got the full sequel to Project Sunseeker in its planning stages - Good Men Don't Go To War should at least start within the year, though I doubt it'll be finished within it because it's going to be massive. I'm also looking forwards to putting that down as well as finishing up Beyond Familiar Stars and Follow My Lead; Heart Of A Dancer and Here We Go Again are also on the cards within that same universe though I'm not sure where they're going quite yet.

New Works: Chomp The Champion Varren, Project Sunseeker, Yes, Sir, Tales In The Last Days, The Idealist, The Only Thing I Ask (Love Me Mercilessly), Poison The Well And Take Me Straight To Hell, 'Your Dad Is My Cardio' & Other Torture Tactics From The Desk Of Avitus Rix, Spectre, You Talk Me Into The Best Bad Situations House of Anarchy, Ryncol Tastes Like Ass, A Fraction Of Your Happy Heart, Shatter, Extended Release, Curiosity Is A Dangerous Concept, Wipe My Hands Clean, Beyond Familiar Stars, Follow My Lead and A Little Too Much Like Me. *dies* Is it too late to make my NY resolution picking shorter titles?

I'm like 90% sure everyone I know has already been tagged but... if you haven't and you wanna do it, self-identify at this point!

[gluskincasual]

To give you a short while to relax, let me tell you a story on how I got into the deep deep deep rabbit hole of fucked up romantic fiction 😀

So I loved to read story books when I was around 4-5th grade. I was good with my english for a country that doesn't speak it much (philippines) and joined several writing and reading contests and spelling bees.

But all the books I read with thin and colorful and had pictures, I wanted something large and thick(lmao) and tons of complicated words to practice with. And my grandma at the time had her own little library in her house and she would give me access on tons of books, she didn't say anything about me reading murder mysteries and horror genres... But what intrigued me, was this one book.

I forgot what the title was but it had a mature warning in it with sexual and horror themes. I was so fucking innoncent at that time cause i didnt know what the word sexual meant and at this age my mind could visualize shit better than other kids *cough* maladaptive daydreaming *cough*

The plotline was about a female detective in the 1950s and when solving for a case she always senses someone was following her and thinks it was the suspect of the crime she was trying to find answers to. It wasn't the suspect unfortunately, but a stalker who yanks his meat whenever he hears the detectives voice on the radio.

And OH MY GOD. Something horrible sparked in me. It was two things, one, gay awakening cause the detective was a total girlboss, and second, my obsession with problematic men. I couldnt understand the hanky panky scenes BUT THE WHISPERING AND THE TENSION BETWEEN THESE TWO OUTSIDE THE HANKY PANKY MY GOD

I read that for two years until I discovered yanderes, otome sims, fanfiction.net, wattpad and ao3 but durring those years i had forgotten about the book's title.

And i wanted to find it but unfortunately grandma passed away due to old age in 2020 and her house was in a custody battle between my dad and aunt because grandma never put who would inherit the house in her will. Just divided some fortune between children and grandchildren.

It was also in the will that I would get all of her books (and her amoire that I used to play dress up in and various handbags which was very slay because she had taste 💅) but it wasnt all of the books.

I knew because she had more than two boxes worth of it. She had a bigger collection than any of her friends and coworkers back in the 1960s, her mini library was filled to the brim with books, not a shelf with a single crevice,but all I recieved were 57 books. Her murder mysteries and erotic novels but I never found the one that got me into the rabbit hole..

And the end. Hope you enjoyed :) tell me if you want a vague description of the book cause I read most of it and some lines definately be fic material 👀

Sincerely- Murder Mystery (MM) Anon, a follower since your first work

First off, I love how your grandma nutured your love for reading. My mom did the same for awhile until I had books like fucking everywhere in my room. Though I find a little odd, she would let you read a book like that 👀 or maybe she didn't know, and that's why you didn't get it as an adult?? I kinda wanna know now lol

Also, I didn't get into creepy stuff till I was in my teens (I'm calling myself out and saying creepypasta oop). Like legit when I was younger, my mom put on 1968 Night of the Living Dead movie on me and my brothers request claiming "we were old enough." I stayed up all night that night watching outside my widow cause I knew for SURE zombies were gonna rise at any moment. I also could not listen to any metal music....I was a very scared kid....

I didn't get into erotic literature until I was sixteen or so. I can't think of an incident that stands out because, really, I didn't know anything and just read basic shit. If it had extra tags of kinks and shit I didn't read it.

I thought I would share a bit of myself since you were nice enough to share about yourself, but I would like to hear about this book! Maybe it will give me some inspiration 💕

Oh! And that last bit about your being around since my first fic astounds (in a good way!) me but makes me happy. Thank you, love 💕💕💕
