"Today. Tomorrow." a Superman fan comic about Clark Kent, Lois Lane and relationships.
We wanted to tackle one of the trickiest parts of Superman mythos; and that's the entangled romance between Clark Kent, Lana Lang, Lois Lane and Superman. Often times these more mundane parts of Superman get pushed to the side, when they can give so much insight into the characters and what they're seeking from each other.

Penelope's final gambit, you will always be famous, no matter the subtext.
#poorly drawn odyssey#the odyssey#odysseus#penelope#epic the musical#Epic's version was very sweet and very well executed (and so cathartic!)#But Odyssey Penelope is *so* done with all the bullshit at this point in the story.#Credit where it is due; at this point she's been through a lot.#And to top if all off - her own son and one of the few maids on her side are buying into this (supposed) ruse.#This cannot have been the only time someone tried to pull this trick on her either.#Its the contrast between: 'Oh you're My husband?' and 'Ohh *sureeee* you're my husband. Just like the 30 other 'Odys' before you.'#The olive tree bed trick is a great gambit because it really is the final test to verify his identity.#I'm just a sucker for couples who have a secret only they know between them I suppose!#The match each other in will and wit! They will always find each other!!!#Anyways. The Odyssey is a worthwhile read and I highly recommend it. Epic is also a great musical worth checking out.

The ending of FNAF sister location
#myart#chloesimagination#comic#fnaf#five nights at freddy's#fnaf fanart#elizabeth afton#ennard#michael afton#fnaf sister location#SL as a whole sticks out in my mind#it’s one of the only games to have just bad endings#even the secret ending still has Michael get scooped#it’s just his fate as a character#I like to think Michael did go to SL cause his father told him to#but he stayed for Elizabeth#actually set on setting her free in some way#between each night we hear her voice#and I always took that as Michael thinking of her#being motivated in helping her#even in the end dialogue he doesn’t even sound mad at her#but his anger more pointed towards William#for basically tricking them both#this comic was just supposed to be scary#but then the angst came in I’m sorry gang 🥀

thinking of the ending of conclave (2024) and those lingering shots on the papal vestments. the future and the foundation of the church, he who sits on the throne and is the face of it, wears white.
and the last shot of the movie. and those lingering shots on the women below. the future and the foundation of the church, they who maintain it without being lauded for it, wear white.
#conclave#conclave 2024#conclave spoilers#i was unable to catch this in theaters where i live#luckily there's a secret totally legal option for me to watch it from the comfort of my apartment#i just have a lot of thoughts about this movie#as someone who holds a holistic and spiritual perspective on religion and the church#and who stands by a 'i know god loves me even if the church does not' mentality#the challenging of tradition and certainty in exchange for change and doubt is such an important theme for this movie to linger on#i love how these shots imply the overlap where benitez resides between male and female#and how there is the potential for that overlap to expand towards women within the church#for them to break free of the red that is almost claustrophobic towards the papal vestments#my screenshots

Screen recording of the band segment from chapter 3 so I can read the full lyrics without eating shit too badly
#deltarune#dr spoilers#made a few mistakes but not bad for my second try (went back before the tenna fight and redid the entire chapter to unlock the s rank stuff#friend must be the knockoff controller and chapter 3 secret boss. can't wait to meet them!#i have so many fucking thoughts about the kris ''freedom'' game within the game segment parodying loz#the way they're both put in contrast with chara (favorite food question trap) AND in comparison (no mercy style minigame getting stronger)#god i cannot WAITTT to see where this leads#something something lv as violence and detachment being the thing that allowed the separation between us and chara in ut nm#the ability to ''distance from yourself''#and now deltarune returning to that theme by tying violence and getting stronger to kris' sense of agency#and not just violence but combative and contrarian playing styles in general#specifically shining a light and putting strain on the connection between us. picking at the seams of what binds us. breaking the game#I FUCKING LOVE METANARRATIVES GRAAAAAH

"Its a good plan! No-Danny dear listen it is-"
Hey.
A new Dead on Main idea.
But...
With like matchmakers Martha and Lady Gotham.
Like no really.
Lets say Danny finds their lair/ghost home one day while exploring the Infinite Realms, becomes friends with them, goes to them when he need actual parent advice (he loves Jazz and shes great but remember she herself is still a TEEN as well, not only that but she tries to look at things in a more logical standpoint of view because she's studying psychology). He really likes them cause of how nice and caring they are towards him and enjoys spending time with them.
So when Danny gets news that apparently he needs a 'ghost spouse' because he's now the Ghost King and its 'good for the Realms' according to the council of eyeballs. He goes to Martha and Thomas to vent about how dumb it is because he can't ask his friends to fake marry him because they aren't 'ghosty' enough. (They're liminal yes but not enough apparently, they need to have actually died for it to actually count)
Martha (I head-canon she's the brains of the Wayne family, like Thomas is smart no doubt but his smarts fall into medical knowledge) reads between the lines of those wordings and comes up with a plan.
It won't only help their young King but also it may just work out more than that if done right.
She goes to ghost side of Gotham City thats in the Realms and asks to speak with Lady Gotham the city spirit, there she tells the city spirit her plans and what is happening. Lady Gotham listens and grins at the idea.
A few days later, a stressed out Danny (whose had to deal with 'suitors' the eyeballs have been sending him) is in the ghost side of Gotham City meeting Martha for some ecto-coffee and as he's waiting at the cafe/bookstore they were going to meet up at, a portal opens up and Lady Gotham herself fly's over and dumps a stunned Red Freaking Hood at the table.
She books it after that and yells "Its now up to you Martha dear! Have fun!"
Martha appears giggling in a third seat between the two stunned young adults at the table.
#danny phantom#blue rambles#dp x dc#danny fenton#danny phantom dc#crossover#writing ideas#random idea#dpxdc#dead on main#Martha has a plan#Danny groans when he realizes what it is#Jason is stunned at first but hears her out#Martha tells them point blank the plan#no hiding#no secrets#no hidden motive#Just the truth#pretend to be 'seeing' each other and marry#Danny gets the eyeballs off his back cause he's technically marrying a 'ghost' citizen of the Realms#and no one in power can get upset about it#Jason gets to live out his book fantasy dreams and becomes royalty#and gets to have a castle that he knows Bruce can't find him in when they get into fights#it helps that Jason is actually really liked in the Realms cause he's an avenger for the dead#Martha and Lady Gotham do kinda hope something more starts between the two#it just takes a while for them to admit it though

Occasionally I find it mildly annoying when Palpatine is posited as the one Anakin had always trusted the most, tbh. There's a noticeable shift in how he interacts with Obi Wan and Palpatine in between aotc and rots, and there's an obvious reason why: the events of aotc themselves. He and Obi Wan had plenty of friction, but they were still close, and Anakin did in fact confide in him in his grumpy teenager way. About his feelings for Padme, about his worries for his mother. It's after his trip to Tatooine that he turns to Palpatine instead.
#flashback to that time i ran a poll and someone was very earnestly arguing that anakin had always been closer to palpatine#they got as far as basically saying palpatine cared more and by that point i was finding the vibes so rancid that i had to block them#whatever#anakin and palpatine's interactions in aotc are blatantly more stilted and lack the real intimacy there is between obi wan and him#obi wan and anakin are not communicating well but they are definitely communicating#they interact like two people who are together 24/7 and get on each others nerves sometimes#palpatine is visibly courting. and anakin is flattered#then by rots anakin is confiding his deepest secrets and shutting obi wan out of them#and it's not a mystery why that is.#i low key suspect that the reason why not everyone likes to think about there being a transition is because that would mean acknowledging#that anakin massacred that village of tusken people. it gives the ick so it's edited out. it's 'bad writing' so it doesn't count or#or it's 'understandable' so it doesn't count#if you need to downplay it or low-key pretend it doesn't exist or you just don't want to think about it#then of course you need to think things were always a certain way. things that aren't important don't have an impact#....but this is speculation i guess. just a vibe i get.

Rogue cultivator SY AU [ 1, 2, 3, 4 ]
Shen Yuan comes back to Cang Qiong Peaks after a year of travel for his research. Shen Qingqiu is excited until he finally sees him.
SQQ: What is THAT?
SY: I'm happy to see you too *beaming eagerly with badly grown beard and mustache* It is a year of my hard work. I wanted to show you it so badly *proudly touches his beard* Impressive, isn't it?
SQQ: You're getting rid of that immediately.
SY: Huh?
SQQ: I say, you have five minutes to get rid of that abomination yourself, or I'll do it. *drawing the sword*
SY: W-what? Wait! I can't do this, I spent so much time growing it, so it looks good!
SQQ: And clearly, you have failed. Shave it. NOW
SY: You're just jealous I did while you couldn't. I look manly!
SQQ: I just don't want to kiss Mu Qingfang twin. At least he saw the reason and shaved it off.
SY: He did?! Oh, no. Shidi lost his wings!
SQQ: A-Yuan, I'm starting counting. One-
SY: Okay-okay! Does it really look so bad? *mumbles*
SQQ: Yes. *gets closer and takes his chin in his hand* You'll look so much better without it. Believe me. *leaning closer as it to kiss him on lips, but in last moment bits his nose*
SY: AW! YOU-*tries to back off*
SQQ: After you do this, you'll recieve a welcome kiss. Understand? *pinches his cheek*
SY: Yes! Stop doing it!
In the background:
LBH: I'd kiss him anyways, with beard or not.
NYY: Ning Yingying thinks Shizun would too. But Shifu looks better without it. He just needs proper motivation.
MF: Obviously, Shizun doesn't want to repeat "Beardgrow remedy catastrophe," which happened half a year ago. *shudders*
LBH: Didn't you also-
MF: I don't recall anything of the sorts.
P.S: For a moment, Shen Jiu thought let it be. Maybe it would work better than weil, getting rid of potential flies flocking to honey. But they would see SY's smile anyway, the way he crinkles his eyes, a playfull glint in them, blush on his cheeks and-
It won't work.
#it was MQF remedy that SY used to grow it#but it's a little secret between them#nobody talks about beard catastrophe#i'm having so much fun with that au not gonna lie#svsss#scumcum#jiuyuan#shen qingqiu#shen yuan#shen jiu#rogue cultivator shen yuan#svsss au#scum villian self saving system#scumbag self saving system#scum villain

“Why didn't you tell me that you'd already found my dad? Was that a command? From Grandfather? I understand that seeing him now might put him in danger. But please, just tell me he's okay. That's all I want to hear. He is in Vedish's care. You don't need to worry.”

Something to wonder about:
Amarantha, planning and inviting all the High Lords and their Courts to her party, to show them she has changed and wants to mend things with them. Even though she has been for centuries an enemy/evil for all of Prythian to see.
Rhysand, asking for a High Lords meeting, to form an alliance against Hybern and to show them that he's an ally, not an enemy. That he has never been one. He had only been "playing a role/wearing a mask". Even though he had been evil and horrible for more than 500th years, for all Prythian to see.
Tamlin, watching them both from the sidelines, being the only one who warned the High Lords - at both these instances - to not trust Amarantha/Rhysand, only to not be listened.
We know how it ended with Amarantha, I wonder how things will go with Rhysand... Who now is whispered to become the High King of Prythian... Sorry, what did Amarantha declare herself as, after that party? MHM.
#So much to wonder don't you all think?#Amarantha and Rhysand being a 'find the differences" and you find none#Tamlin side eyeing both of them#This time with Beron drinking the tea bc he DOESN'T LIKE RHYSAND#What if he doesn't actually want to conquer spring but has secret meetings with Tam#That would be so good actually#Anyway... Tamlin spoke truth once and no one believed him and now the same is happening again...#And I wonder how much was actually Rhys under Amarantha's thumb... mhm...#AND! It's strange how Beron is the only HL who had participated at the treaty between fae and humans...#Thesan became HL after the war and the treaty if my memory doesn't fail me right?#Anyway about the treaty... Isn't it strange that it says that “humans can kill any and many fae they want without punishment”#mhm#so many thoughts#tamlin#pro tamlin#Anti rhysand#me ranting and rambling

Blood Blossom Au: Baby's First Commissioner Meeting :)
TL:DR This Post: Danny (orphan) gets poisoned with blood blossom extract by Vlad. He runs away from him and ends up under the care of one Pre-Robin Battinson Batman! Starry is loudly pushing her batdad agenda.
(Also known as "Late At Night, When The Nightingale Sings" on my ao3!)
This was a fun rough idea I've been sitting on for weeks, thinking about how Commissioner Gordon and Nightingale's first meeting might go.
---------------
Commissioner Gordon likes to think that he's adjusting to the new normal of Gotham very well, -- the new normal being grown men running around dressed like bats, in military-grade strength body armor, committing acts of vigilantism, -- and slowly, little by little, he was no longer being surprised when this new normal pops up out of the shadows like the world's most terrifying daisy. His shaving lifespan thanks him for it.
....
The kid is a surprise though.
Granted, he seemed to be a surprise to the Bat too.
There's been a string of murders lately, -- which, in Gotham, is kind of like saying there's been another storm during monsoon season. And there's just been another; in some dilapidated building down in south Gotham, with the broken, boarded-up windows and mildew-crawling walls to match. The victim is a man in his thirties, multiple gunshot wounds to the chest, left in the center of the room for the blood to pool out around him.
The place is already secured when he arrives, the building swarmed with officers and the forensic detectives. The Bat emerges shortly after he does -- or, he might've been here the whole time, hiding someplace dark and shadowy. For his own sanity, Gordon doesn't think about it too hard.
The kid is a surprise, and he appears like a bolt of lightning.
He shows up in the middle of a conversation Gordon is having with the Bat.
A whistle, sharp and loud, slicing through the air, meant for open air rather than a confined space. Gordon's ears pierce and protest the sound, and the solemn, murmured chatter floating through the room abruptly cuts off like the swing of a gavel. As he turns towards the sound -- as they all do -- he swears, up and down, that he sees Batman's shoulders jump, just slightly.
At the source, perched on the window, is a boy. A boy in a gray-blue scarf and an oversized black hoodie, one that hangs off his frame and has ace bandages wrapped around the wrists in some attempt to cinch the sleeves. The hood is up, big like the rest of it, and threatens to swallow the upper half of the boy's face whole in the fabric. What upper half Gordon can see, is smeared with some kind of opaque, black face paint. He's holding onto the side of the frame with one hand, on his hip is a grappling hook. A familiar grappling hook.
Gordon has multiple questions, and his officers tense up.
Martinez puffs up, brows furrowing as his face shapes into a frown. Shoulders rolling back. "You can't be here, kid--"
The reaction is immediate, like a spark to gunpowder, the boy yanks his fingers from his mouth and his mouth twists into a scowl. Head snapping over to Officer Martinez, his hood manages to stay on but Gordon swears that as he bares his teeth, the glint makes them look sharper than they should be. His voice is rasp and quiet and harsh; snappish in its hissing; "Put a fuckin sock in it, Martinez. I'm not stayin."
Martinez reels back, and the boy immediately veers his attention off him. Like a switch, his demeanor drops. Despite half his face being covered, his mouth twists into a cringing, apologetic smile. Slanted and off-beat, embarrassed. It'd be disarming if this wasn't Gotham, and if he didn't just hiss at Martinez like he was about to bite his head off.
"Sorry." He whispers, voice deceptively polite and softer now. Gordon has to strain his ears to hear him. "I was looking for him."
He points his finger towards-- Gordon? No, Gordon follows the direction, and finds himself looking at -- the Bat.
The Bat, who always looks stiff as a pole, now looks even stiffer. Somehow. Well, the explains the grappling hook attached to the boy's waist.
"What are you doing here?" The Bat says, gruff and unable to completely smother the stumble of surprise in his tone.
The boy still holds a sheepish smile, and slips off the window ledge. His feet hit the creaky boards with a near-silent thud, the Batman finds his feet and rapidly begins crossing the room.
Gordon notes the slight tremble in the boy's legs as he straightens. He adjusts his scarf, which droops close to his knees now that he's standing, and slings a backpack -- how long has had that? -- off his shoulders. When the Bat reaches his side, he does as he always does, and looms over the boy like a spectre. A threatening mass of shadows cloaked in all-consuming black. Standing next to him, the boy looks teeny in comparison.
The Bat is a man who terrifies even the most hardened criminals, Gordon has seen grown men shiver in fear at the mention of his name. And yet when the boy looks up at him, he doesn't even flinch.
Instead, his sheepish smile melts away like ice under the sun, holding only traces of his previous embarrassment. It remains as a shadow on his face, a small upturn at the corners of his mouth. The boy pushes his hood back just enough to reveal glinting, ice-flint eyes surrounded in tar-black face paint. He holds the backpack up with one arm. "You forgot this."

DAREDEVIL: BORN AGAIN | 1.09
You couldn't call me?
#Daredevil Born Again#Karedevil#Karen Page#Matt Murdock#ddba spoilers#Daredeviledit#Daredevil Spoilers#Not Revolution#GIF set#Mine#Shippers gonna ship#I find it really hard to express why I like this so much and yet STILL want Kastle#It's something about how Matt relaxes around her#He's so guarded 99% of the time. And he pushed her away HARD many MANY times over the years for whatever BS reason he could think of#and they've finally gotten to a place (and it's a year later than would have been better for everyone) where this is permanent.#This is safe. This is home. They're stuck with each other.#And I love the contrast between Matt anxiously trying to convince Kristen and his gf that there's a threat and he has to go DO STUFF and#how different the reaction is when he says the same things (albeit with more detail) to Frank and Karen. It's night and day.#He's only a real person with people who know his secret identity.#There's something delicious about a phone call being where Matt's stuck. As if he doesn't have a history of dodging her calls. And I get#that he would have welcomed calls now - or in the last year - but there are so many scenes were poor karen is just getting shutdown by Matt#and Foggy. Calls unanswered or ended quickly. Because they have other stuff going on and lying to her is hard so it's easier not to pick up#And then you have Frank who is like... a fugitive? A hermit basically. Someone off the grid. Living in a basement. Who has an active cell#plan and has made sure Karen has his number in case she needs it. And he clearly answers when she rings. And there's no one else ringing.#So it's basically a phone - maybe specifically so Karen can reach out.#AND I LOVE THE FRAMING OF THIS SHOT. I love how close Matt and Karen are sitting. I love that Frank is pretending to ignore them.#Coz there's no way he's okay with how close they are. But he's not going to make it weird because he's a good friend to Karen.#Maybe I should blame Karen for me shipping every ship that involves Karen.
