people who go through the main tags of big and tumultuous fandoms looking for new fresh good posts to reblog are essential to any circle. they’re like true hunter gatherers leaving the safety of settlement and braving the unknown wilderness to find food for the flock. they risk their lives every day and will come back with a few scratches at best and severe psychological damage at worst

i think that the funniest thing about the swedishbeans saga so far is picturing it from joel's point of view because. okay. imagine. you are joel smallishbeans. you are new to this whole hermitcraft thing. you've met iskall like, twice, and he's been kind of weird every time, but you're kind of weird back so you guess it's fine or whatever. you leave for vacation. you come back. someone has sent you dozens of unsolicited love letters and as much as you joke about etho it's probably not him. you find out it's iskall. you go to confront him to figure out hey, what the hell is this about? he gives a dramatic speech about you being in love and having left a sign on a prank you didn't do (and didn't actually leave) with a kiss on it, and how that means you're in love. you're just like. nah, man, i don't... know you? i have a wife. the man wails about how you're an awful person who has been leading him on, a terrible trickster. you aren't entirely certain what you had to do with any of this. you get home. he's mailed you bad breakup poetry now and declared that he's moved on but you haven't. you're still vaguely confused as to what has happened. then he invites you back to his house to build a statue of yourself so that he quote "doesn't need you anymore". i cannot emphasize enough you have talked to this man like twice. gem accuses you of being in a love spider's web and you honestly can't say she's wrong you're just confused about why everyone thinks this is in any way your fault,

I worked retail for a long time and people really do treat you like shit sometimes. But between selling sex toys, mattresses, and jewelry I can say definitively I got treated worst selling mattresses.

All three of my jobs were in sales but selling sex toys we were allowed to put people in their place, and in jewelry people didn’t want to misbehave in a fancy setting. But people at the mattress store had no problem yelling at me, hitting on me, or insulting me to my face.

For a while I was managing my own store for the company. I ran a small location and had struggling employees placed with me for rehabilitation. If their numbers improved they could go back to bigger stores. If not, they got fired.

So this meant I was the manager of problem employees. At one point both of my people had a foot out the door. The company was going downhill and changed computer systems and they were fed up. Consequently, they made a ton of mistakes, because they just didn’t care about the job or learning the new systems.

I strolled into work on what was essentially my Monday to a shit show. Deliveries scheduled without product, wrong things on orders, poor expectations of the process, you name it. I spent the entire morning getting yelled at for mistakes that weren’t mine.

The final straw came when a man called furious that his moms bed for her nursing home had a delivery window he couldn’t accommodate. This wasn’t a huge disaster since we still had time to deliver it before she moved. I ran him through the options and he just kept screaming at me. Not for a solution but because I was there and he was frustrated.

My heart filled with malice and a cold fury. A calculating part of my brain had a realization in that moment that I could stay a punching bag or I could strike back.

I quavered my voice delicately, taking in a shaky, warbling breath like I was trying not to cry. “Sir,” I quivered through fake tears, “I don’t know what you want from me! I told you what I can do, I didn’t make this mistake I’m just trying to fix it!” My voice broke pitifully on the last syllables, sounding in all ways like a sweet innocent person being yelled at who’s just trying her best, really!

It was like I’d doused him with cold water. My emotional act was the realization that he was screaming at someone who was just doing their damn job, and he was being an asshole. He hastily made an excuse and hung up.

I had a third employee covering with me from another store that day who heard everything. When I hung up, I looked over to see them watching me with an awed expression. “Did… did you just pretend to cry?”

“I absolutely fucking did,” I said with feeling, “and I’d do it a thousand more times. If that’s what it takes for someone to realize they’re behaving like a fucking prick, they deserve it.” The employee looked at me like I was their hero.

The man called back, apologizing profusely, having magically arranged his schedule to accommodate delivery. He came in later that week with an apology Starbucks gift card. I was gracious in my acceptance.

I pulled it a few more times before leaving the company. I felt no shame in the ruse. If someone behaves so poorly that it’s plausible their behavior would drive someone to tears they deserve to feel absolutely wretched about it.

sorry idk but the way the world is so fast and the people in it still want it to be faster is sooo annoying to me. people groaning while standing in line for 3 minutes people being mad the train ride is gonna take 2 hours people complaining that the bus is a few minutes late people being angry that construction work is taking months even though it used to take decades. don't you see the world is already so so so fast in every single aspect can't you understand that being mad will do nothing and just make your mood worse. enjoy the moments of stillness you're given. just stand in line and look at the people around you. sit on the train and watch the scenery. you'll get there.

I wholeheartedly believe that the last thing that should be said in response to aspecs hating their identity is "don't worry! Aspecs can still do X, Y, and Z" and I'm so fucking serious about this.

The least helpful thing you can do to someone who have not accepted their aspec identity yet is give them ways to compensate for it. If an aspec person is upset over not being able to enter a romantic relationship, the last thing that should be done is to tell them they can still enter one or instead enter a QPR - not because that's not true but because that is quite literally going to stunt their ability to accept their aspec identity. Telling them they can instead enter a QPR when they're upset over the lack of romantic relationships is at MOST a bandaid for the main issue. Instead of them coming to accept their identity and accept who they are you have instead handed them an amatonormative alternative on a silver platter that allows them to pretend they still fit into amatonormativity without every deconstructing it. This is how we get QPRs getting shoved into an amatonormative framework - these people NEVER got over the "I'm sad that I'm aspec" phase because they were handed alternatives instead of given actual support in deconstructing their internalized aphobia, self hatred, and amatonormative biases.

Danny kills the Joker. Every Joker.

So! As the King of the Infinite Realms, Danny has to deal with the complaints of his subjects a Lot.

Some of them want to suggest changes in certain Laws, others complain about other Ghosts who wronged them, but by far the most common reason was that they died in a violent manner and wanted revenge.

And by far, the main person they sought revenge for was the same person. A guy known as The Joker.

But unfortunately, as the Infinite Realms was connected to multiple Universes, many of those Complains were about different Jokers from alternate Universes. And there were so many of them that he couldn't really just kill a few of them and call it a day, at least some of his subjects would remain Unavenged. And that just wouldn't do!

So he just decided to do away with the whole lot.

Danny began to Personally Hunt Down every single version of the Joker in the Multiverse. Or at least the part of it that was connected to the Realms.

Unfortunately, the news that some ungodly eldritch being being was hunting the variants of the Joker across the entire Multiverse did not go unnoticed. Quickly enough, news spread across the Multiverse that somebody had decided to do away with the Clown that had been such a consistent thorn in the side of most Universes.

Eventually, that news reached the Main DC Universe, and got to Batman.

One day Batman was approached by Justice League Dark about the situation. They had managed to intercepted an Interdimensional message about what was happening, and decided to inform Batman ahead of time.

Now he had a choice.

Either he could try to stick by his Morals and protect even the Joker's life from an unknown force out for his life, or he could let it happen and absolve himself of the blame for the Jokers death.

It didn't help that for the past few days Jason had been in such a good mood after hearing about the Jokers impending Death.

He didn't really get to see Jason smile like that often...

...decisions, decisions...

Ok while I was packing my suitcase for my hotel stay tomorrow, I had a thought for some back story here, so let's dig in a little bit!

After Tron was turned to stone by the powers of his best mates - that being Flynn the earth pony, Ram the pegasus & Yori the unicorn - in order to stop the evil illness from taking over & making OP alicorn Tron go in full destructo mode, he was fashioned into a sort of monument where the battle took place in a random meadow.

Not realizing how long the duration of the spell would last, the trio began carving out a home base by Tron's fall, to keep watch over their old ally should he make a dreadful return & help him through any means possible. They built tall walls to keep the intruding outside world away & built a house which they would take place staying at while keeping watch. Eventually Yori decided to dedicate herself to the task of watching over her beloved, so she shooed away the other two so they could continue adventuring, seeing the world & doing everything they had wanted to do before the darkness invaded Tron's mind.

Time passed slowly, but things moved by in a blur just the same.

Yori, who never thought she'd overcome her heartbreak for Tron, met another pony who came from a nearby village to ask a number of questions about the mysterious fort in the woods. After learning of their story, the pony asked to stay and spruce up her property, as otherwise Yori lived surrounded by an impenetrable dark forest. Over months & months, he built beautiful gardens for her to enjoy & when spring finally came, the blooms opened & Yori's heart did too.... & she gladly accepted the newcomer's love.

As they happily set up a life there, they agreed to establish that the family's longstanding duty was to care for the gardens & to watch over the statue, should Tron ever come back to life. At a certain age, the oldest child would inherit the duty and pass it down for generations until the end of time, or until... we get the pair that messed everything up.

The last branch of this family tree unraveled when Yori's direct descendent fell for a sweet & kind donkey... which resulted in their child being a mule... which are basically incapable of having offspring of their own.

But, it all works out, because that's when the world shakes & the slumbering titan bursts out of his stoney prison, more confused & lost than anything else. The hundreds of years that passed him by while he was encased in stone blurred into amnesia that nearly wiped the anger & hate from his evil curse. Instead, Flint discovers Rinzler & WITHOUT HESITATION brings Rinz in under his wing [metaphorically, of course, as Flint is so much shorter than Rinz & he doesn't have wings so like. YEAH].

...

At some point down the line, memories return in a deluge & Rinzler can't help but feel betrayed & abandoned by his friends, who left him to rot & be some other far off generation's problem as his mates all lived good lives without him.

But after Flint & Rinz discover a passage written to Tron from Yori that was hidden away in a journal deep within the heart of the manor that she, Ram & Flynn built together that spelled out everything for the troubled alicorn.

She explained the purpose of them building the property around Tron's frozen state, to protect him & keep watch as time passed them all by. & though his friends all moved on, they never forgot one another with members of each line of their families constantly keeping in contact over Tron, himself.

So when Rinzler comes out of his state of despair, he realizes Yori never abandoned him & she had every right to move on & build a life for herself even without him there. Still, she made it her family's duty to watch over Tron, for that fateful day he would escape.

& then, there he is with Flint, a direct descendent of Yori who has her smile, her laugh & her endearing kindness... & life isn't so bad after all.

No magical championing of his evil curse necessary. After realizing how much others cared for him this whole long while, he happily settles there with the overjoyed gardener mule... with Rinz being so thankful to have such dedicated friends who made it their entire purpose to support Tron whenever he returned♡

Love can be between an ancient hero who was corrupted by evil magics & a simple gardener who's the only one who still sees some good in him & that's just fine with me♡
