I am working in a haunted house attraction right now, and I perform in the 'scary bog room' as a blind swamp hag cannibal character. If you've read Treasure Island, I'm basically 'Blind Pew', except more monstrous.
This role is great cos much as I like horror I am kind of sensitive and I appreciate the room having mostly just watery gurgles, low creaks and groaning animals sound loops, which is my kind of normal background of choice soundtrack anyway, just turned up to 11. I dunno how I'd handle standing next to a puppet or a speaker that played 5 easily memorable lines of dialogue OVER and OVER again very loudly, surrounded by gore and unpleasant imagery, that must be very tiring for some. Having worked retail I know how aggravating just listening to the same 30-40 songs every store in America plays on repeat is teeth grinding, so having to hear the same shit on repeat every 2 MINUTES must be torture.
Reason I mention this is cos I have yet to really visit any of the many other room stages asides mine, as its a large labyrinthine place, and I've yet no reason to visit other parts of the attraction cos before showtime, the lights are off. But during operation hours, I get to *hear* everything going on in them from beyond. And one of the recorded loops I hear every now and then as I do my job, is this loud demonic voice shriek, that for the longest time I thought was just garbled nonsense word noise. But it was today after just hearing it replay in my mind once again for the millionth time, because I heard it by now THAT often, I realized it was saying:
"IT'S!!! A! BOYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!"
And for the life of me now I wanna know what the heck IS this thing.
Cos I don't know of any evil delivery nurses in our roster, and I feel about 70% certain we lack an evil hospital section (though it's certainly possible.)as I have yet to see any props or cast member wardrobes that seem themed to that sort of idea. So what da heck ARE YOU, mystery screamer prop???

one time I used the ben affleck smoking reaction image in the family group chat and my mom replied with the funniest possible response which was: "mommy doesn't know who the guy is???" and that phrase has not left my brain since. I'll see blorbos on my dash that I don't recognize and I'll be like well it seems mommy doesn't know who the guy is.

DC x DP Prompt: Bruce is bad at emoting but at least ghosts are empathic (too bad bat kids are not)
Was reading Twincognito on AO3 when I stumbled across this gem again:
~
" “Danny, Tim. I was just…checking in. Is everything alright?” Curse his inability to make meaningful conversation when it wasn’t a life or death situation.
They glanced at each other and shrugged.
Then Danny hauled himself out of the bed and walked over to Bruce.
Bruce tried not to let too much excitement show on his face. "
~
Now I really want to read a story where Bruce adopts Danny post Meta trafficking and is being his usual emotionally constipated self. His kids keep getting mad at him because he's treating their new meta brother who was trafficked poorly (generally being stilted in conversation with him, walking away hurriedly mid-conversation, avoiding Danny when he's feeling really awkward, etc). They think Bruce is discriminating against Danny for being a civilian, meta, dealer's pick, but really it's just Bruce being horribly socially awkward. Danny knows this because of ghost empathy and find the whole thing hilarious. The whole thing comes to a head with the Bat Kids staging an intervention in the Bat Cave.

Can’t get over how fast Logan decided him and Wade were a pair
Right after Pyro made Johnny fall out of the sky Logan goes “we don’t know that guy”
Logan what do you mean WE, you’ve known Deadpool for all of half an hour and spent half of that time trying to kill him!
Wolverine really saw that Deadpool could also regenerate and immediately decided they were a package deal, he’s still gotta act grumpy though, gotta keep up the reputation

A Steve who cannot buy his boyfriend Eddie's movie tickets all time, take him out to bi weekly dinners, or even publicly win him a teddy bear at the fair is a Steve who pivots, and starts making trips the the closest hobby store.
The bigger one, that sells more than just a handful of D&D manuals.
The guys who hang around there are initially confused--the sports guy who should clearly be buying sports cards is instead coming in once a month to load up on everything from fantasy books to new dice. Clearly he has to be a nerd in disguise.
Yet when one brave soul casually asked what his preferred game was he said basketball, like a total normie.
Finally after a full year of this, the guy opens the door to the shop, but for once doesn't step in. Instead, Eddie steps through and gasps, before spinning and loudly accusing Steve of hiding the store from him.
"It's not my fault you refuse to drive this far out." Steve fires right back but there's a smile on his face, and the stores entire crew watch in awe as Steve follows Eddie around.
Steve is always careful in Hawkins, when it comes to not acting like they're in a relationship but its hard in the moment, and he's not as careful as he should be.
Eddie brings an entire armload of things to the front of the store and Steve insists on paying because;
"It's your birthday man, I'm not gonna make you pay for your own presents."
They leave, the two of them practically floating, leaving behind a bewildered group of people who immediately start arguing whether or not they heard the weird sporty guy call the metalhead "baby."
