"according to this you're already dead"

[scraps-n-starters]

I have this scene in my head. Of Nightwing sidling on towards a spot with a great vantage of where Haley's is getting set up for a visit, him finding one little ghost with a mauldin look and a heavy set to his shoulders. A soft chit chat under the dusk light as everything settles a little. Too far from the warm glow and bright laughter of that striped tent.

"You ever wonder what it'd be like if one tiny thing never went wrong?"

"All the time."

And so Wing pries out one more sob story on a chill fall roof. A surprise little one left behind in a hospital because of a heart condition there weren't the resources to care for. Not with a rambunctious 7 year old already and shows, follow ups and medications, testing and medical bills.

(The Fenton's, curiously happy to take on a little one who's already had a brush with death alongside his first breath. A little brother like Jazzy had been longing and arguing for.)

And Dick's stomach drops because he remembers. A hospital in Illinois, the worry, the strained expressions, the stress.

Can see the curve of his mother's nose, the thick fluff of wind tousled hair they share (one black, one now a luminescent white), the set of their father's eyes. In this dead and gone child's face.

(Another little brother lost far from Dick's reach)

Daniel Marcus Grayson for only as long as it took for the ink on the adoption papers to dry.

The Ghost Of A Grayson That Never Was

There is another kind of rage and despair you will feel when you are an artistic person studying and working in technological fields and you keep seeing your peers and people you are supposed to look up to blatantly using artists' hard work for training text-to-speech models.

what about gov agere hc's if possible

-🕸

oh it’s definitely possible

cw for light angst at the end

Gov is definitely a flip

he’s not an amazing caretaker cause he’s new to it but tries his best

CDC and DC are regressors he takes care of

and they also take care of him!

when regressed Gov has meetings with his stuffed animals

“Mr Scales stop biting people!”

no his stuffed animals aren’t based off the states he doesn’t know what you mean

its a coincidence he has 51 of them!

yes he has one for Puerto Rico

Very bossy and lecture oriented

talks a LOT

autism

so many infodumps

embodiment of “uhm actually”

none of the states know he regresses

but the branch personifications know

basically all non-states do

he’s been babysat by Greg before

and hangs out with Space Force (an actual child, not a regressor)

has tried to drive a car while age regressed

DC caught him before the keys were even in his hand

Gov’s a bit of a brat

impure regression who? Gov.

he throws fits and screams and cries

his regression isnt very pretty

he’s forced to carry a lot of responsibility on his shoulders, and never had a childhood

so he throws fits when he can

but he also does enjoy playing

but he’s often lonely as well

knows almost nobody that regresses

and the ones he knows do regress would never regress with him

or at least that’s what he thinks/believes

has had to call meetings early when he’s babied because it makes him start slipping

why is applying for jobs the worst thing on the planet

I'm so tired of seeing takes about U.S. politics from people who lack understanding about how the branches of government, the electoral college, and redistricting work and affect us. Please return to high school Civics, I am begging you.

“Hey, so like, if you wanted to tell a guy you wanna spend the rest of your life with him, how do you like…do that?”

“…T—TOTALLY ASKING FOR A FRIEND, THOUGH! like, they came to me for advice. Yeah. Not for me.” No, he’s the ‘friend’.

I'm not going to main tag this because it's more personal than anything, but wow did this show come into my life at a time when I really needed it.

I came very close to losing my mom earlier this year. She was in the ICU for almost 60 days, most of which were spent in a coma. At one point, her doctor told us to start thinking about whether or not she'd want to be kept on life support, and I had to tell him that she's repeatedly told me that she doesn't. I listened to "You Will Be Okay" so many times that it has to be my most played song ever.

I tend not to post about Tilla as much as others do, and I want you to know that it's not because I'm ignoring that part of the show or don't think it's worth talking about. I don't talk about it because it hit me so close to home during the worst period of my life and it's almost... too important to me to speak about publicly, if that makes sense?

This show has been my escape this year but it's also been a tool I'm using to process my visceral realization of my mother's mortality.

The FAFSA has been delayed to the 31st of December and I think it might be quicker to overcome my misery by just bursting into flames.

And the due date hasn't been extended by the colleges so guess whose spending his birthday doing tax forms and hoping to God the IRS doesn't incarcerate me.
