WIP? Wip!

Maglor clings dearly to his relics: jewels, tapestries, instruments; stories and songs. Maedhros. There’s little left of him to offer the twins, aside from his jealously guarded reliquary: the key to a blessed mausoleum across the sea—Valinor, the land of the Elves, to which they belong, but only in half.

“Do you think we’ll ever go there, Ros?” Elrond asks one evening. Ros is the one part of his name that sets him apart from his twin. A small, almost trivial detail—a handful of letters where he’s allowed to discover and reinvent himself.

Will they ever go? That’s the crux of the matter. Their father had tried, as had his father before him. Of all the ambitious paths fate weaves for them, none seems more fitting for their line than the trade of the castaway, by both shores eternally forsaken.

“I don’t want to go,” Elros—Ros—replies. “It’s too easy that way.” Grow up, find a woman, have children. Cut the ballast, set sail, and never look back.

They’re growing up fast. They've entered that delicate phase that every half-elf goes through where it’s unclear whether they’ve only just stopped losing baby teeth or if it’s time to put a sword in their hands and send them on their way. There was a time, though, when it wasn’t clear—at least, not to them—how much life would be granted to mere bargaining chips. Then, a new and familiar star began to shine above their heads; the brothers hadn’t killed them, and their father had never came to check.

Life—real life—began that day.

For the first time since Sirion, they could place a possessive before many things: my piece of cake, your boots; our bedroom, our home. 

Their anchors, keeping their destinies grounded on firm, wasted land: the menacing shadow with fiery hair and piercing eyes that prowls the fortress, holding the orcs at bay by his mere presence; the skills of a revered bard, lent and bent toward the instruction of young, unclaimed minds.

The star shining in the West: dazzling and distant.

one of the things about being an educator is that you hear what parents want their kids to be able to do a lot. they want their kid to be an astronaut or a ballerina or a politician. they want them to get off that damn phone. be better about socializing. stop spending so much time indoors. learn to control their own temper. to just "fucking listen", which means to be obedient.

one of the things i learned in my pedagogy classes is that it's almost always easier to roleplay how you want someone to act. it's almost always easier to explain why a rule exists, rather than simply setting the rule and demanding adherence.

i want my kids to be kind. i want them to ask me what book they should read next, and i want to read that book with them so we can discuss it. i want my kid to be able to tell me hey that hurt my feelings without worrying i'll punish them. i want my kid to be proud of small things and come running up to me to tell me about them. i want them to say "nah, i get why this rule exists, but i get to hate it" and know that i don't need them to be grateful-for-the-roof-overhead while washing the dishes. i want them to teach me things. i want them to say - this isn't safe. i'm calling my mom and getting out of this. i want them to hear me apologize when i do fuck up; and i want them to want to come home.

the other day a parent was telling me she didn't understand why her kid "just got so angry." this woman had flown off the handle at me.

my dad - traditional catholic that he is - resents my sentiment of "gentle parenting". he says they'll grow up spoiled, horrible, pretentious. granola, he spits.

i am going to be kind to them. i am going to set the example, i think. and whatever they choose become in the meantime - i'm going to love them for it.

Actually going insane over the implications of Jason asking Dick to be the Robin to his Batman in Battle for the Cowl.

Like I initially took it at the purely surface-level of Jason wanting a partner in the general sense. Which made sense, it's a huge responsibility and a lonely one so an assistant/sidekick/partner seems a no-brainer if you can get one.

But then I really thought about it, because Jason is not asking Dick to be his partner in the general sense; he's not even asking Dick to be his Nightwing. He's asking Dick to be his Robin.

And they both know exactly what Jason means: "Be the light to my darkness. Be the smile to my scowl. Be the hope to my fear. "

He's saying "Be 'Robin'; be the embodiment of Love and Justice and Goodness. Be the exceptional person that you have always been. Be the slightly-less exceptional person that I was when I wore your colors. Be the person that I was in the process of becoming and might have been (or might still be), if only Joker hadn't clipped my wings."

He's saying "I am prepared to become vengeance, become the Night. And I will go further than Bruce ever dared to, because it is what is needed. I will be the necessary evil. But you don't have to be. If Batman is Gotham's curse, Robin has always been its blessing. I will be the brutal punishment to our world, and I am asking you to be its incandescent gift."

He's saying, "Be for me, what we were for Him. Be my anchor, my comfort, my hope. Remind me what it's all for, why it's all worth it. And remind yourself as well."

He's saying "Be 'Robin' again--for both of our sakes."

I need more Danny ‘No more hero’ Phantom, so here I will be reasoning why he’s an Anti-Hero (in Dp x Dc prompt)

Danny doesn't see Death as the worst thing. He's too familiar with it (He is Death).

Sometimes it's better than 'living'. It's like a 'new beginning', a chance to let go like he tried to he did.

He left hero things with everything in his hometown. Where no matter what, he's been The Villain, The ghost, the menace. 

People Humans only see in him what he did while being mind-controlled or forced to. Not that he saves them every day. They are afraid of him, of his power. 

Just how are people still like Superman and other heroes who are more powerful than regular humans? They get mind-controlled and forced to be evil sometimes too.

That isn't fair. 

And while They chose to save other people's asses because they wanted to, Danny didn't have a choice, if he didn't step in, the town would be destroyed in days. 

He hoped that his parents Fentons would finally realize why ghosts were coming into town, but they just blamed Ghost Boy for all of the wrongdoings and never considered they were wrong. 

So after 2 and a half years of hope, he burned out and just destroyed the portal, cleared out all of the ectoplasm, and left.

Now if ghosts wanted to 'visit' living they needed to go to Danny and personally ask.

This means no more Technus 'I will take over the world' and Emder 'I will make everyone love my music by mind-control', and just Technus 'I'll only check new tech stuff' and Ember 'I'll hang out with Kitty in the park and play some guitar', of course in more human form.

Danny himself decided to stick around Gotham because one - Bats are interesting, and two - ectoplasm (which he tries to clear out, at least a little bit). 

So now he messes with Bats and humans while he's Anti-Hero - Phantom.

And gets yelled at by people at Batburger while he's a regular worker - Danny Nightingale. 

But what will the Justice League do when Phantom will save the world from some big bad ghost with impressive ease, and just leave…

That powerful being is not just some generic troublemaker in the streets of Gotham.

He's the end and sawing of the world (and Infinite Realms).

So uh... Immediately after Wrestle Kingdom, the big show that brings in both new and lapsed NJPW fans, and Wrestle Dynasty, the AEW crossover show that was intended to bring new overseas fans to NJPW... New Japan management decided to take the only commentary staff member who speaks any Japanese at all off commentary for two months? So the only remaining English language commentator will just not have any clue what anybody is saying during the entire show? Right when a large influx of new English speaking fans is expected? And they're doing all this just as Kidani, who owns NJPW's parent company, was complaining to Tokyo Sports about how NJPW isn't getting enough overseas fans? Have I got that right?

hi hello fellow papyrus enjoyer ur art is so cool if it helps i would love to hear all your papyrus aus they look aosososososo great the guys Ever

thanks!!! :D

the guys! rambling about them below

Phantom: dust's brother, kind of. they don't have a good relationship (shocking). very bitter. misses his brother and his friends, and, you know, his life.

is an actual ghost but dust, and basically nightmare's gang, believe he is an hallucination.

trying to stay positive.

likes to move things around to scare others, drawing in dusty surfaces or dust's phone, and looks over everyone including dust.

Rust: the one that joined nightmare's gang first. in horrortale he took over the throne and re-constructed the core.

eventually moves into the castle (cooking, cleaning, making sure the others are doing fine, and going on missions with the others). loves making outfits with soft pastel colors. building his magic back, he's quite strong.

is slowly starting to process everything that happened back in their universe. horror and rust sometimes get into fights but they care about each other a lot.

___: still choosing a name for themself. unfinished sketch. everything was quite meaningless and dull, but they cared about their brother. seeing him dust himself was as terrible as you'd imagined. they stayed days, months, years still in front of the dust pile.

eventually 404 and flowery found them. travels universes with them. trying to start living even while soulless. can travel through ink and use magic made of ink (it reminds 404 of someone but he won't say anything)

404: an error. a glitch of unknown origin ended with him being the only one in his universe, with no memory and a terrible loneliness that felt ancient. eventually found out how to open portals through doors and met flowery (a regular ut flowey).

they became friends, 404 totally didn't kidnap him. they go around the multiverse making friends (404 stealing souls of people he likes).

can replace any "papyrus" code with himself, so he pick a universe and starts talking to the "resident papyrus" and then kills and replaces him until he gets bored (or until ink finds out where he is; he is quite the multiverse criminal)

-----------

and those are all the skellies! (kind of, i'm not sure what to consider my birdtale paps or my variation of ut paps,,, idk unknown) i appreciate people liking them even though they aren't as interesting as other aus out there, so thanks!
