danny died bc he tripped and accidentally turned on the portal? actually that was the reaction waves of krypton finally dying reaching earth. the wave of kryptonite coincidentally gave danny his powers.

ghost form? thats actually his body's reaction to the sudden surge of power (which includes shape shifting). his phantom form is what he looks like as a "kryptonian".

he doesn't rly align w the other supers? thats bc each kryptonian family has their own source (aka core) for their powers. the s on superman's design means hope and prosperity, and is the symbol of the house of el. which is why kryptonite (formed by the death of their planet/ Disparity) weakens them

danny isn't from the house of El. his fam represented life/resilience, which is why he's weakened by blood blossoms, created by gruesome death. and also y danny can see the dead kryptonians and interact w them. (his house ruled over/ controlled the phantom zone???? maybe)

clark was ecstatic to find out that the yj's newest recruit was a kryptonian. danny was surprised when the scans/mandatory physical said he was actually an alien. bruce is happy for clark, but isn't happy to know that apparently kryptonite isn't an effective contingency plan. konner doesn't know how to feel abt his new team mate.

OC Tag Game

Tagged by @stenshale! Thank you so much! Took me a hot minute to get to it, but I'm glad I did! It was so lovely to think more about Ozol! He's currently eluding me when it comes to writing a fic about him... Hopefully, this'll wrangle him!

(Hand-drawn art from my lovely friend @taloswitch and picrew from Djarn)

Name: Ozol Adaar

Alias: He used to be Arvaarad under the Qun, changed his name to Özil when he got to Hercinia. Over time, it shifted into Ozol.

Gender: Assigned "Male" by the Qun, vibed with it enough to stick to it after becoming tal-vashoth. Incidentally cisgender.

Sexual orientation: Bisexual. Bas sexuality and all the strange baggage that comes with it confuses him, so he keeps quiet about not having a gender or genital preference.

Age: 35 at the start of Inquisition.

Spoken language: His native language is Qunlat, but he learned Trade while in Hercinia. Even if he's been speaking Trade for a decade, he still finds it easier to speak in Qunlat. Being able to talk in his native language with the Iron Bull was a blessing beyond belief.

Occupation: An Arvaarad from the age of twelve to the age of twenty-three. Specifically, he was the caretaker of one specific saarebas that he ended up fleeing the Qun with. He was the accountant and job facilitator for the Valo-Kas in Hercinia, alongside being the "caretaker" of Mama, his saarebas. Unofficially, he was also the resident braider and dreadlocker. While he didn't initially want the role of Inquisitor, he has always had a responsibility to "hold back evil," so he embraces the role despite not being Andrastian.

FAVORITE:

Color: Light blue. He thinks there's something deeply beautiful about a clear sky and the way it reflects on the ocean.

Entertainment: He adores poetry and novels. Any poetry he can get his hands on, he enjoys, regardless of if they're seen as "bad" or not. He wishes that he spoke more languages, as he thinks that translations of poetry always do the original spirit of the work a disservice.

Pastime: He loves baking. After leaving the Qun, he was utterly captivated by the bas' baked goods, and jokes that a love of sugar is "the curse that all Qunari fall to after leaving the Qun." He always shares whatever he makes with both friends and strangers.

Food: While he does love baked goods, he has a deep love for fruits, especially oranges. The act of peeling an orange for a loved one is sacred in his mind, and he always tries to keep at least two of them in his bag at all times.

Drink: He doesn't drink to get drunk often. He can, however, go almost toe-to-toe with the Iron Bull when he needs to. But, if he were to pick a favorite, it would be hot chocolate, especially on those cold, Southern nights.

HAVE THEY...

Passed university: Being born under the Qun, he was educated in being an arvaarad and nothing else. If he were to go to higher education, however, his immense language and mathematical skills would get him far.

Had sex: Absolutely. After he turned around eighteen, he would regularly visit the tamassrans, even if he would usually keep the sessions brief in order to not leave his saarebas in the hands of another arvaarad for too long. He had a bit of casual sex amongst the Valo-Kas, as well. Once he gets into a relationship with Cassandra, he tries to make it a habit to have some form of sex with her around once a week, even if it always leaves her limping the next day.

Had sex in public: He's had sex in the glen outside of Skyhold, so... yes.

Gotten tattoos: Nope! He thinks they look good on others, but he would rather stick to vitaar.

Gotten piercings: He does have his ears pierced, but he doesn't wear earrings constantly. He got his first pair of silver hoops as payment for a day-long braiding session back in Hercinia.

Gotten scarred: Surprisingly, Ozol doesn't have any distinct scars. Being an arvaarad meant standing back as his saarebas did most of the fighting, and he purposefully avoided all fights after leaving the Qun, following a life of pacifism. He does, of course, have a few scars from minor things, like nicking himself with a knife while peeling apples or running chin-first into a bas-sized doorway.

Had a broken heart: Not from anything romantic, no. The only romantic relationship he's ever been in has been with Cassandra, as the Qunari don't have romantic relationships. His heart does break, however, whenever he thinks of the members of the Valo-Kas forever trapped in the rubble of the Conclave.

ARE THEY...

A cuddler: Yes. Absolutely. Ozol believes wholeheartedly in the beauty of touch, and thinks that people who deny themselves skin-to-skin contact are dying a slow death. He wishes that people weren't so apprehensive around Qunari and that the bas didn't have so many assumptions on what it means to be physically affectionate with people. If he can press his nose against the crook of a neck and inhale, he will do so, regardless of if it's a romantic partner or not.

Scared easily: Ozol does get worried often, and that sometimes leads to fear. He mainly gets scared on behalf of others, and uses the adrenaline rush to try and protect people. He doesn't shut down when afraid, his military training too ingrained in him.

Jealous easily: No. Ozol doesn't get jealous. As someone raised to be a part of a collective, he doesn't see items or people as "his," and therefore doesn't get hurt when he sees people enjoying another's company. He doesn't really value material items, either.

Trustworthy: Very. Ozol is a rock to depend on. He has a very good sense of judgement, and can keep a secret easily, even if he would rather everyone just be honest with each other. He is gentle and poetic, but he doesn't sugar-coat his words, either.

FAMILY:

Parents/siblings: Being a Qunari means that he doesn't have any "parents," nor any "siblings." He calls his saarebas "Mama," because, after fleeing the Qun, he heard bas children calling an older female "mama," and decided that would be a safe thing to call his saarebas. It took him a long time to understand why the bas assumed that him calling an older female Qunari "Mama" meant that she birthed him.

Children: He doesn't have any. That he knows of, at least. There's a good chance that he may have had a few biological children under the Qun, as he was a stellar arvaarad who was likely used in "breeding" a few times, but he has no feelings whatsoever about it. While he thinks it could be nice to have children as the bas view it, he is confident that he and Cassandra aren't going to be having any kids. Biological ones, at least.

Pets: He doesn't have any pets. He's good with animals, however, and would always feed the stray cats around Hercinia. He was under no impression that he "owned" them, however. They were free spirits, welcome to come and go as they pleased. He has a fondness for Leliana's ravens, and has taught them to say several things, including lines from the Qun.

chat help I haven't listened to anything else since the lyrics vid got posted

examining a seemingly normal image only to slowly realize the clear signs of AI generated art.... i know what you are... you cannot hide your true nature from me... go back where you came from... out of my sight with haste, wretched and vile husk

anyway, darrell rivers is definitely sapphic everybody

[baravaggio]

not to link a youtube video about a topic no one gaf about but I was using this as background noise while playing the sims a couple days ago and god the clips they included...I really forgot how crazy 2000s era misogyny was

[theha1rarch]

ooh, that’s so true, ooh

[britneyshakespeare]

also a few weeks ago i was w my friend who got a new job over the summer at a nearby high school. he does IT. he told me that a girl and her friend came in giggling with a frozen chromebook and the girl just said "yeah... just... don't pay any attention to the web page it's currently on" because it was pictures from the boys wrestling team from our high school. and he just said "yeah... i went too (school name)" and the girls just sat there completely silent and awkward while he showed them how to reboot the computer

and then the other one said "sorry... i was trying to show my friend a boy 🥺😔" and i keep thinking of her lately because. not only is that the perfect combination of funny and embarrassing for a high school story. but. i respect her so much. never stop showing your friend the cute boy from the other school's wrestling team

[pondslime]

Ok stupid question but I had to ask BC I love the way you answer things haha 💓💓 (Sorry if that was worded weirdly)

So Jonesy (I think that's the dog's name in House of Wax) from all the Sinclair brothers who do you Jonesy likes the most and who do you think likes Jonesy the best?

it's not weird at all!! now that my HOW brainworms are back, any excuse to ramble incoherently about this dumbass movie and the characters is like. PURE gold. lmao 💀

okay, so imo, vinny is definitely the favorite. the first place where we see jonesy in the movie is in the wax museum and that is def not a coincidence!! they were hanging out!! jonesy just got bored of watching her dad labor over the fine details of the wax titty & wandered upstairs.

they're best friends!! I just know it!! that shot where vincent's turning wade to wax? and jonesy jumps up on the bed? the CUTEST. rip wade 🙏 but?? I adore that sm.

and he takes the puppy w/him when he goes to murder blake & paige. unhinged dog dad behavior if I've ever seen it. I can 100% see them both quietly coexisting in the same space together for hours on end—vincent sculpting and sketching, jonesy napping next to him. padding upstairs in the middle of the night to have a midnight snack. UGH

I v much also subscribe to the line of thinking that lester doesn't live in corpsetown & has a lil shack of his own in the woods. but he absolutely hustles up to the house routinely to bring jonesy weird roadkill snacks and play w/her in the backyard. if anyone in the family is committed to getting her energy out, it's v much him. they're just outside for hours n hours tossing a mangled deer leg around and kicking up dirt. I feel.

as for bo. well. he v much strikes me as the kind of guy who pretends to be fairly ambivalent about the fact they have a dog running around. if jonesy ever stirs up trouble or chews thru smthn, he's the first one to be like, "UH??? it's your fuckin' dog?? I ain't never ask for this??"

v much onery dad energy. he catches vincent giving jonesy some food off his plate and immediately starts talking about how he's spoiling the damn dog and THIS is why she knocked over the garbage can & got coffee grounds and eggshells all over the kitchen floor.

never mind that he's always giving her scraps of whatever random concoction he's eating. she's chowing down on eggo waffles and beef jerky and hostess snacks whenever he's around. but no, it's vincent who spoils her. sure, jan.

he wants a huntin and fishin dog, but he's not much of a hunter or a fisher. so he gets a couch potato that sits next to him while he drinks beer and rewatches old spaghetti westerns. and he totally doesn't care about it or like her. totally.

my faves super lucky to not be real rn bc if they saw me in the dress i just got it'd be over for them so fast
