Drake Siblings

Have I read this prompt somewhere or was this a fever dream from my bored mind.

What if, now hear me out.

What if we bring up Dana Winters-Drake (whose confirmed to at least be alive in the DC verse but no one knows where she actually is)

What if instead of when she had a mental breakdown and getting committed to an Bludhaven clinc she wandered away before anyone noticed and by the time Tim or anyone did notice a lot of stuff started happening at once in both Gotham and Bludhaven (Steph dying, The Bludhaven crisis, etc etc)

Tim still tries to find her though but even with best resources it was like she just disappeared into the wilderness and the stress of trying to handle more and more problems get worse.

So when out of the blue, a couple of years later, he gets a call from an unknown number. On his private, only for friends and family, phone and when he answers he meet with a young girls voice on the other end.

A very young, maybe six or seven, girl who informs him about his apparently half-brother Danny Drake-Fenton. And how she loves Danny so, so, so much but knows her home is dangerous for him to be in.

Tim is stunned and before he could question her, she says Danny is Dana and Jack's baby and that her parents had adopted him years ago and put Dana's stuff that the hospital had away for him to look at when he was older but she just had to fight off their lunch from eating her brother and she knows he needs a better place to live and so she snooped around and found Dana's diary and that she had to unscramble the nonsense Dana wrote and found Tim's number with the words 'tell him about his brother Danny' hidden in it. And-

But before she could keep rambling she hears Danny screaming "JAZZY THE MILK WENT BAD AGAIN AND HISSED AT ME!"

Tim is left with silence after hearing Jazz yell to Danny to lock the fridge and step out of the kitchen as she gets the bat.

The "Binghe fell in love with Shen Qingqiu because he was an authority figure and he has abandonment issues" jokes are funny and all, but my GOD if I see another person actually believing that's the whole reason Luo Binghe fell in love with SQQ I will go insane.

Something I Noticed While Watching Absolute End

Spoilers Under The Cut

If you look closely in the bottom left of the screenshot, you’ll notice what appears to be a bone from either a leg or an arm. I suppose this finally lays to rest the “Cyn is only wearing Tessa’s skin” vs “Cyn assimilated Tessa’s corpse” debate.

It’s sad to think about Tessa’s ultimate fate and how Cyn desecrated her remains.

I have to say just the act of watching Xena is really clearing my skin and watering my crops right now after all the male-dominated shows I've seen over the years that keep fridging their best female characters for sake of man pain.

Whereas in Xena, if you're a dude who manages to develop a remotely romantic connection with one of the female leads there's a 99.99% chance that you're going to get killed before the episode is over.

It's a thing of beauty.

(Sorry not sorry. *cackles*)

The scene in Avatar: The Last Airbender where they are in the Fire Nation and Sokka has this messenger hawk, and he's like "Hey I'm gonna put a message on this hawk and send it back to these people I know!" and lets it go and everyone just accepts it like yeah of course it will get the message where it's supposed to go. That's what a messenger hawk is for. And I'm like. Do none of you understand the concept of a messenger pigeon and that they only fly back home. You are in the Fire Nation you got the bird in the Fire Nation it has never been outside the Fire Nation, How Did You Give It Directions.

Hey, so for anyone who grew up with or just watched the 4kids Yugioh dub, do you remember that time in Duelist Kingdom when Yugi dueled the supposed ghost of the supposedly dead Kaiba? You know, that episode with all the talk of the practically phantasmal probability of Yugi’s victory?

And then when ‘Kaiba’ unmasked himself as this creepy clown looking guy, you know he revealed that he was essentially the personification/manifestation of the darkness of Kaiba’s soul that Yugi banished to the Shadow Realm with a mind crush at the end of their duel in the first episode. Only to have been freed from the Shadow Realm by Pegasus and sent to defeat Yugi?

Thus actually making this guy a genuine shadow/evil-counterpart to Kaiba that Yugi has to defeat in a twisted repeat of their first duel, and Yugi effectively cleaning up unfinished business when he defeats this shadow doppelganger of Kaiba and banishes him permanently this time.

As well as presenting a pretty good example and exploration of the strange, occult mysticism at work in this setting and the kind of power that both Pegasus and Yugi possess through their Millennium Items. It turns out that Yugi really did banish this dark piece of Kaiba’s very soul to this mysterious ‘Shadow Realm’, and that Pegasus was able to actually retrieve this piece of Kaiba’s soul, give it a body and make it his minion. And that Yugi is powerful enough to then PERMANANTLY banish this specter back to the shadows, never to be free again. Or, depending on your interpretation of the wording, Yugi’s mind crush may have just outright DESTROYED this piece of Kaiba’s soul for good.

An act which is certainly reinforced by the following ultimatum Yugi delivers to Pegasus, a statement delivered magically/telepathically over the video-screen that Pegasus is watching, something that even echoes what PEGASUS did to Yugi in their first duel, with Yugi wreathed in an aura of mystical power that ends with Yugi shattering the glass in Pegasus’s hand.

So that’s the dub version…

…And then you find out that in the original Japanese dub, the Kaiba doppelganger was… just a random evil, creepy clown working for Pegasus who was really good at disguising and impersonating people and decided to pretend to be a dead Kaiba to mess with Yugi.

For some reason.

As sacrilegious as it may sound, I feel pretty comfortable in saying that the English dub did actually make a few GOOD changes.

And yes, I know that in the manga, it was a ventriloquist with a Kaiba dummy who claimed that Kaiba's soul was in the dummy but was really just bullshitting. Which frankly I consider only MARGINALLY better than 'random evil clown disguised as Kaiba', simply because we get to see Yami go all Season-Zero on him with a sick penalty game.

you know what team rocket moment will always stick out to me the most?

in i think the first on-screen interaction with team rocket, meowth literally tells ash that “we don’t want your electric rat.”

Earthspark Season 2 spoilers:

Just some brief thoughts

Ok now that it's been a few days since release,, does anyone else feel kinda confused on where the show is meant to go now? I mean there's the Quintessons, Quintus Prime + Terratronus setup I guess, but otherwise I'm just a bit confused on what the goal is now? There's not really a "big bad guy" anymore, aside from I guess?? Starscream???? Although I feel like the Decepticons are either going to cast him out/push him out of the leadership role due to that whole titan fiasco- Kinda just curious what they'll do with him now ig,, And are the Chaos Terrans just dead now?? I dunno, I really like the show and its characters/potential, but right now it just feels a bit... directionless?

Also I can't be the only one who feels like they handled the chaos terrans a bit,,, weird,,,,, right? As in there might be some unintended implications that don't feel very thought out?

This rambling post includes spoilers for episode 8 of Hazbin Hotel:

Okay okay okay, so, the thing about Alastor's fight with Adam is...

He was doomed to fail from the beginning.

It's been established that, much like sinners, angels can only be killed with angelic weaponry, but Alastor went into that fight with only his own powers. Was he that arrogant that somehow he'd be the singular demon in all of Hell - the Sins included - to be able to overcome this rule? I mean, Alastor is pretty arrogant, but it's not like he's stupid. The reason he decided to needle Lucifer by positioning himself as a father figure to Charlie (aside from the daddy issues I like to imagine he has) is because he knew from the very start he could never take Lucifer in a straight fight. It's not like he couldn't have used an angelic weapon; several of his shadow tentacles were throwing axes at the exorcist army before his shield broke.

Fuck, maybe he would have WON that fight if he had used an angelic weapon! Alastor put up a pretty good fight against Adam. He's obviously the more skilled fighter between the two, Adam just had overwhelming angelic power.

Alastor threw himself headfirst into a fight he had no hope of winning.

And he almost died.

Every episode, I fall more in love with him <3

These screenshots do not do justice to just how comforting Game is in this moment. His voice is so, so soft and kind and he doesn't try to pretend like Diew didn't just completely bomb the presentation, but he's also offering very honest and practical reasons for Diew to feel better. Sometimes when friends try to comfort you and they tell you that it's not a big deal or it wasn't as bad as it seems, it feels more like they're downplaying or not acknowledging how awful you feel but I like that Game isn't doing that.

But most importantly, he's not letting Diew face it alone:

I know everyone has things on their plate and so sometimes it's not always possible to offer to walk with someone through the difficult thing, but when someone DOES offer, goodness it can feel so, so good!

MND is so good at portraying genuinely good friendships. God's entire friend group, while chaotic, is just so enthusiastically supportive of each other. And I love that Diew and Game's friendship is built on these genuine moments of connection and common interest. You can really see why they're friends. Sometimes in shows there's a sense that if these people weren't just in the same class/thrown together by the situation, they may not really be friends but Diew and Game's friendship feels like they'd've found each other even if they weren't in the same class(es?) together (probably through seeing each others names on the same books they borrow from the library or some other cute shit like that). Literally every time they're together its just wholesome and lovely and good. <3

aw yeah chat we listen to Magnus Protocol in style and in style i mean at 11:41pm in a dark room where light is only found through the cracks of the door in front of you and the phone screen you hold. When you take off your headphones the only thing that can be heard is the calling of insects screaming outside. The noise of the statements ring through your head as you increase the volume so you don’t miss a single word. You must make sure it’s not too loud though, or else the sounds of voices will awake the figures that are sleeping nearby.

Another Random TADC Theory

While I was ruminating on the trailer for episode 2, a thought occurred to me: Since a shotgun was shown in the shot of the gang inside the candied eighteen wheeler…

…Perhaps this is the episode where we get to see Kinger go completely gun toting crazy!

Originally I thought the clip of Kinger with a shotgun being framed in shadows implied that he would get the firearm in the ghost episode, but now I’m convinced he’s going to get his hands on it in the upcoming episode and just completely wreck Gummigoo and his gang.

I could be making something out of nothing given how I really want to see this middle aged chess piece snap and just start blasting, but it’s at least something to think about.
