that poll gave me an idea: i think dude should've been baptized in a water trough

ellie is so silly for that drake lyric but i headcanon her as a big fan of him 😭

RIGHT, JUST SO GOOFY !! she’s definitely the reason why he would come on aux at a party just saying that now. She definitely prefers his ‘take care’ and ‘thank me later’ albums

Hades & Harmonia

Oh, sweet child of the dead and harmony! Your father commands the Underworld, and your mother turned serpentine for love. A life of greatness stands before you dictated by sternness, neutrality, and serenity. No man can tell you what realm you preside over, but look to themes of mourning and remembrance as you grow into your power.

i made a new quiz that mixes and matches greek gods to give you your unique heritage! :) inspired by the hades games, which two gods would have been your parents? there are 130 possible combinations, including multiple rare outcomes!

my parents would be dionysus/iris!

I have SO many thoughts about everything and they are in no kind of order yet, so here's just some quick little bits in the meantime!

I am not normal about any of these characters!

there are a lot of posts out there that are positive and healthy coping mechanisms for handling the holidays. this is not one of them :)

i think there's like. going to be times in your life you will be stuck in a social situation that you cannot escape from gracefully. i do not know why the internet doesn't believe these times exist. it's not always just that your physical safety is at risk - sometimes it's legit like "i just don't currently have the energy or time to put in the effort of responding to this." sometimes it's a coworker you hate so much. sometimes it's just like, fine, you know? like you know you can handle your aunt when she's cheerily horrible, but if you actually set a boundary around her, it's going to be weeks of fallout with your father.

i don't know why people think the answer is always just "cut them out!" or "don't let them get away with that!" because ... the real world is tricky and complicated. i think kind of a lot of us have an internal "radiation poisoning" meter for certain people. like - i'm talking about the ones who are absolutely giving you gradual ick damage. like, you can handle them, but you'll be exhausted.

and yes. you absolutely should listen to your therapist and the good posts about handling others and set good boundaries and take care of yourself. prioritize peace.

HOWEVER :) ...... since im often in a situation with a Gradual Sense of Ick person i cannot just "cut out" of my life (without losing someone else precious to me) - i have sort of developed the most. maladaptive form of mischief possible. because like, if i'm going to have to listen to this shit again, i like to have a little bit of private fun with it.

now! again, i am physically safe, just mentally drained by this man. you should only do this with people you are not in danger with. which leads me to my suggestions for when your Unfortunate Acquaintance shows up and says oh everyone pay attention to me.

my favorite word is "maybe!" said as brightly and happily as possible. whenever the Horrible Person starts in on a topic you do not want to go further with, particularly if they make a claim that you know to be inaccurate, do not respond to it. you and i have both tried to actually argue with this person, and it hasn't gone well, because this person just wants the drama of an argument. however, "maybe!" gives them literally nothing to go on. it is incredibly disarming. they are used to people having some response. they know they can't prove what they're saying, and maybe! treats them like the child they are. it dismisses them in the politest way possible.

i like to say maybe! and then, in their stunned silence, immediately change the subject. this is because i have adhd and i will have something unrelated to talk about, but if you can't think of topics fast enough, i recommend just pointing to something and saying, "isn't that lovely?" because fuck you let's bring in some positivity.

by the way. that second trick - of pointing to something and stating an opinion about it? - that just works on its own, like, 70% of the time. i picked it up from teaching preschoolers. it's an intentional "redirect". it stops children crying and it also stops grown adults from finishing their explanation on why women belong in kitchens. dual wielding!

keep it silly for yourself. i absolutely do not care if people think i'm fucking stupid (it's more fun if they do) and as a result i will purposefully misunderstand things just to see how long it takes them to realize i've completely removed them from the subject at hand. when they say "women aren't funny" i get to be like. "which women." "all women." "all women in america?" "no in the world." "like the mole people? the people in the world?" "what? no. like, alive." "oh are we not counting the mole people?" "what the fuck are you talking about." "you don't believe in the mole people?"

similarly, i play a personal game called "one up me." my Evil Acquaintance literally knows this game exists (my family & friends caught onto it and now also play it) and it always fucking gets him. i don't know why. you have to be willing to be a little free-spirited on this one, though. the trick is that when they make one of those horrible little bigoted or annoying comments they are always making, you need to go one unit weirder. not more intense, mind you - just more weird. "you don't look good in that dress." "yeah, actually, my other dress was covered in squid ink due to a mishap at the soup store." "you shouldn't wear such revealing clothes." "wait, what? oh shit. sorry, your son tears off strips when no one is looking and eats them. i swear it was longer before we left the building."

the point of "one up me" is to completely upend this person's narrative. we both know this person likes setting up situations where you cannot "win" and then they really like telling other people how badly you handled it. in a usual situation, if you respond "please don't say something that rude", you're a bitch. but if you let it happen, you're letting yourself be debased. they are not usually expecting door number three: unflappably odd. because what are they going to say when they're telling everyone how badly you behaved? "she said my son eats her dresses" ".... okay?"

if you can, form an allyship with someone whomst you can tagteam with. where they can pick up on your weird "soup store" story and run with it.

the following phrase is amazing and can be deployed for any situation: "oh, be nice :) it's the holidays!" i do not know why this works as often as it does. i'll say it for the most random shit. i think this is bc most of the time these people know they're being impolite, they just like to fight.

godbless. when in doubt, remember that you could always start stealing their pens.

the whole point of this is - if you can't escape. maybe see how long you can just be. like. a horrible little menace.

please can we stop describing bigots as delusional. please. im so fucking tired. someone being sucked into a hate group surrounded by others who believe minorities should be oppressed and encouraging them to believe in conspiracy theories that the rest of the group believes, is fundamentally different from someone having a mental illness that causes delusions.

delusions, by definition, cannot be explained by things like cultural background - such as having a belief constantly reinforced by intentional attempts to rationalize it for the sake of maintaining power over minorities. yes, someone can be both delusional and a bigot, and yes conspiracy theories can feed into delusions, but the two are not fucking synonymous.

i did not spend my teen years convinced that i was being stalked by demons just to hear so many of you people equate my disability with incel behavior and genocidal propaganda. stop reinforcing harmful connotations about mental health struggles.

HE HUMS IN AGREEMENT. "I love you," he replies quietly, wrapping both arms around Julian. "I believe Emma or Selek could be trusted." That catches Selek's attention. "The camera, my dear," Garak elaborates. "We need a family picture." As their son jumps up to prove himself, Garak uses the opportunity to kiss the side of Julian's face, his temple, his ear, several times. "How about a bath, afterwards? I believe our eldest is experienced enough to take care of our youngest for a little while." And after what he watched Julian go through, Garak would certainly appreciate the chance to give his husband some proper attention.

Julian holds out a hand to Emma, then tugs her awkwardly down onto his lap to hug her tightly for a minute. After all, his first baby and his last? There's something special about that. When he releases her, she still stays close, and she helps with letting the younger two have their turns with holding their brother. Julian watches this fondly, and when he gets a chance, he scoots Mina up and over his lap so Garak can sit next to him and he can lean into his husband's side. "I love you," he murmurs, sleepy and content. "Do you think one of the kids can be trusted to set up the camera? Because as gross as I feel, I think we need to save an image."

You ever have those moments where an idea just... won't leave your head?

[starry-bi-sky]

danyal al ghul memes because i don't think i've done those yet for this au.

(the jason one is in reference to the fanon headcanon/au that Jason and Damian potentially knew each other and interacted while jason was in the league. I've thought about it before in context of this au, but haven't thought about it enough to feel inspired or motivated to make a post exploring the idea)

(diablito means, as you can guess, 'little devil'. while i'm neutral to latino jason, i think the nickname is cute as fuck and was danny's main nickname from Jason. i don't wanna touch that timeline so im not gonna decide how old they were when Jason was there.)

Skulker: i am the ghost zone's greatest hunter! i capture and hunt creatures both rare and dangerous. Danyal: a poacher?? you're a poacher?? you poach animals??Skulker:...i sense i've made a mistake of some kind.

anyways that was the day that Skulker cemented himself as Danny's no.1 opp, and still remains there to this day even if he and Vlad are both viciously fighting for second. Out of everyone in the the AP rogues gallery, Skulker will be the first to be thrown under the bus in terms of 'o shit here comes phantom fucking RUN'.

This.. T H I S

ANOTHER THEORY (ft my brain that wont stfu)

you know that theory about ashlyn being "queen of the phantoms" because she was able to communicate with the one one the rooftop? i was thinking, because apparently thats hard for me NOT to do- that maybe instead of "queen", she is able to communicate with them because she might instead of "part" phantom in a way when she was born, she was seemingly born in between the two worlds, in the rift. i have this small headcanon that all the phantoms in their town and in that realm in general are just the shadow versions of those in the human dimension. so maybe the reason she is able to communicate with the phantoms is since she was born in between the two worlds, her phantom version was merged with her human self. it would also kind of explain why she could hear the phantom noises too, because the phantom version that wasn't able to be born into the phantom realm, is inside of her instead? the same could go for the rest of the gang. maybe the reason they're starting to become the phantoms is because when they were pulled into the rift, their human versions took over their phantoms, and now the phantoms stuck inside them are fighting to get out, to take over their bodies. because they aren't supposed to be there, the kids are in the wrong dimension and so they are anomalies, easy picking for the versions that resided before them.
