There’s a new drug in Gotham making the rounds, one synthesized by Two-Face’s people; if you take it you will have a 50/50 chance that you’ll experience the greatest high of your life or that you’ll die.

Batman is desperately trying to find the main lab and cut off the production from the source and hasn’t been able to find a lead in weeks.

That’s when Gordon gives him a file that was given to him by a “white haired ghost kid”. It’s a detailed report written similarly to a scientific journal with detailed sources that are mainly first hand accounts from deceased victims of the Two-Face drug.

At the very end of the paper there’s an address to a Gotham University dorm room with a sticky note next to it that says “if you need help with death or the undead. Yours truly; Danny Fenton.”

Actually? You know what would be darkly hilarious?

If, when the GIW can't get ghosts declared both malicious AND non-sapient/sentient? They push for "dumb animals" instead.

Which is accepted. Ghosts are animals. Checks out, says scientists everywhere.

HOW "dumb"?

What? Says the GIW, mid-victory high fives. They did not expect a follow up question. They SHOULD have, as this is the SCIENTIFIC community and that is literally their job, but here we are.

How. "Dumb"? The scientists repeate slower. What methodology did you use? What is your sample size? Are their different sub-species? Is this dimension like ours? Is Ghost the equivalent to Mammal? It says here their are humanoid ones.

What IQ are we talking about here and HOW DID YOU TEST??

A goldfish, parrot, and dolphin are all animals. WILDLY different levels of intelligence. You can't treat them the same. Technically speaking, WE are animals.

The GIW does not like where this conversation is going. Tries to shut it down.

.......well NOW the scientists are both offended AND invested. How DARE you try to push faulty science and hide the Truth from them! They're gonna do their OWN studies! *picks up the phone and dials that one embarrassing spiritualist friend they had in college* Hey! You still think you can summon ghosts? I'll pay you to try it for Science!

And like? As a Ghost? It's degrading as hell. But ALSO these fuckos just Whoopsie'd you into having both protections under the law, since animal abuse IS illegal, AND just put the ENTIRE planets scientific community on their asses.... by accident.

So you take a deeeeeeep breath you don't even need. Remember you're doing this for the little ghost babies and fluffy ghost animals. And show up at a research facility like "yes, hello, I am Ghost. Here for you to poke and prod at. Please ask me to name the object on the flash card or whatever IQ tests do these days."

Should you HAVE to prove your own fucking sentience? No. But? You do it. You're even polite about it. Ask for a copy of the study they plan to publish so you can BEAT some mother fuckers with it. The scientists nod in understanding and use the BIG font for your copy so it'll hurt more.

They've been there.

And just? Shitty people getting what they wanted only to have it blow up in their faces?? I see all these angst "but what if they were declared ANIMALS" prompts and I just?? Are we talking PARROT or goldfish!? One has the average intelligence of about a human 4yr old and the other is a FISH! People get RIGHTFULLY furious when you treat INTELLIGENT animals badly.

And would, in fact, adapt pretty easy to discovering one of said animal has become HUMAN lvl intelligent. It's easy to grasp the idea of human intelligence lvl dolphin or monkeys. Maybe there was some mutated strain, maybe in uetro tampering. Who knows. But if I tried to sell you a human intelligent housefly? Gold fish? Lizard?

You wouldn't believe me. There is some kind of trick at play.

So if GHOSTS are seen as animals? Everyone nods and then later? Someone comes in TV and very excitedly informs you "we found INTELLIGENT LIFE amongst the ghosts!" You'd believe it. Probably be really excited by your conversation starter for the day. Get a taco and move on with your life.

But? Having to willing sit for a barrage of testing? Is going to suuuuuuck so bad. Poor Danny. SATs all over again. For HOURS. At multiple facilities, just to be CERTAIN it's not a one off. All because he not certain he can insure good behavior from other ghosts and This Is IMPORTANT. He ALSO can't be certain it's even SAFE.

Might be a trap.

But if he has to do it again and again and again? Mexico to Bavaria to China to the Maldives? If this is what it takes for the scientific community to bitchslap the GIW into ORBIT before the UN? Hand him that pencil.

He has no where more important to be.

I had a very nice morning teaching science to the kiddos (and sometimes their teachers)

[heartsforkento]

an analogy.

you know how we pour a lot of energy and love into our desires right? another thing. the law of conservation of energy. just like how energy changes form but doesn’t disappear, the energy you put into your assumptions and desires doesn’t just vanish. it transforms into your physical reality!

the idea of Draxum in academic settings is vastly entertaining to me

Get Up II

Part 1 Part 3 Part 4 Part 5 Part 6

Warnings: blood, gunshot wound, mcd, death, scientific experimentation

"Lay them down on the exam table," Villain ordered Right Hand.

Right Hand was pretty sure Villain had completely lost their mind. But they weren't going to say anything. They didn't want to end up like their colleague that Villain had shot to death.

Right Hand carefully lay Hero out on the slab. Hero's empty, sightless eyes stared out at nothing. The bullet wound had stopped bleeding, the blood already beginning to dry.

Villain stepped over and began to examine Hero's wound closely. "You're dismissed, Right Hand." Villain didn't even look up as they spoke.

Right Hand bowed low. "Yes, boss."

"And Right Hand, bring the bodies of all the other fallen here. I have need of them."

Right Hand's mouth went dry. "Yes, boss. Anything you say, boss."

Once Right Hand had left, Villain began their work. "I'm going to bring you back, Hero. Nobody gets to kill you except for me."

Villain grabbed one of the many tomes on the far wall. "I was close to this before. But I think I'll get there. And then I will take my time ending you."

Villain knew they needed supplies. It was more than just electricity that animated a body. They needed many things to bring Hero back. Something to keep Hero's essence tethered. And something to bind everything together.

"Soon, soon I will be standing over your corpse once again, Hero. Only this time you'll die knowing it was me that ended you."

Luxaeterna, a participant in the first true battle of the war between the Rainwings and Icewings, the Battle of Stolen Light. Her venom-fangs were torn out by an Icewing poacher, and after surviving and avoiding capture, replaced them with harder gemstone teeth. She’s well known for the number of Icewing skulls she’s impaled throughout the war. She is Boomslang and Quetzal’s great aunt. Postwar, she has been reunited with her living grandnephew and accompanies him for scale retrieval in the Ice and Sky Kingdoms.

Quetzal in his last moments before being murdered by an Icewing poacher. He had sold Boomslang’s egg to the Icewings in the hopes of gaining immunity from the scale trade- but he learned far too late that a bargain can’t be kept with someone who wants to wear your skin.

I really love that I've now been called misogynist AND racist for shipping Rylan, in subtweets (subtumbls?) from people I've never even interacted with. I genuinely do find it hilarious because, to paraphrase the immortal words of Fall Out Boy, I typically don't care what you think as long as it's about me. :3

But this is getting kinda weird and personal and if you think I won't hear what you say about me just because you've blocked me specifically then you must be new.

I'm sorry, who was unnecessarily nasty? Because I haven't seen anyone be nasty in this very oblique conversation until now.

For what it's worth, in case anyone with two braincells to rub together was confused (not that they would be), I don't 'have a fetish for gay men' (which is something I feel like only a homophobe would say, but I tend to try not to call names until someone does it to me). I just feel the chemistry between those two characters that's very clearly intended in the script and performances. The arc of their relationship is deeply wholesome and sweet, and that kiss at the campfire is one of the cutest things I've ever seen in a video game. Also Dylan and Ryan sparked something in me that I honestly thought was dead, reminded me that I was full of stories when I was in a very, very dark place in my life and I will love them for that forever. And I've already promised another 100k of fic about them so anyone who has a problem with that can die mad I guess stay tuned for that.

This is a silly thing to fight about and I should be above getting heated over internet shipping wars and responding to insults from unserious people. But when they turn into personal attacks for no good reason? I guess I'm not. I don't want anyone to change what they ship or what they write, I only want them to stop being so smug and superior while willfully misinterpreting the canon and accusing others of the same and so much worse.

[icewindandboringhorror]

Just curious what the average level of personal investment in these sorts of things is. Like, how much do people usually get into silly stuff like this their friends ask of them? etc. etc. Which I know, only surveying a small sample on a very specific website means I'm not getting an exact average idea lol, but.. curious nonetheless .. Maybe reblog for bigger sample size but also this is not very serious at all/not worth a call to action gbhjbhjb

This morning one of my alarms went off (RDR1- many voice cracks of Dutch van der linde) and all I heard was Dutch yelling "Now, would you kindly send that academic out here, so we can show him what we really think about the art of anthropology"

Now at the same time in my dream all I saw was RD1 Dutch yelling "Now, would you kindly send that academic out here, so we can show him what we really think about the art of let me have my god damn sleep"

Yes I also like having outlaws shouting as my alarms 😭

Get Up V

Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Part 6

Warnings: blood, mcd, wounds, stabbing, scientific experimentation, immortal whumpee, captivity, vivisection

The next time Hero woke, they came to with a breathless scream. How were they awake? The last thing they remembered was Villain's blade plunging into their chest over and over. They couldn't breathe. And everything had gone dark.

They started to sit up, but found that they couldn't. They were pinned down to the metal table by unseen forces. They stared down at their body, mouth going dry as they could see their chest cavity was cut open.

How was this possible?

The pain was real. They could barely breathe through the pain. Their skin was tacky with dried blood. How were they alive? Villain had killed them. Twice.

"Oh, welcome back to the land of the living, Hero," Villain said as they stepped into Hero's line of sight.

Hero's mouth went dry as they saw Villain had gowned up. Their gloved hands were coated to the elbow in blood. Hero's blood.

"I just wanted to see what changed when I brought you back. I didn't think you would wake up just yet."

Before Hero could say anything, Villain grabbed Hero's exposed rib cage and pulled. Hero's world whited out with pain. All they knew was pain. All they knew was pain and the sound of Villain's wicked laughter. All they knew was pain until they knew no more.
