#that ill probs not get to u_u

[rirupadg]

oh my god @max-the-hecker​​​ ​your tags lit something within me. anyways um. i was going to go write a short story im working on and needed a writing warmup so uh,, here you go? i kinda of started a thing. ignore the fact i didn’t proofread this or anything my first draft are usually p shit x_x if i ever write this as a fic and post it to ao3 it would be so much more edited you wouldn’t Believe. also i might’ve gotten some star facts wrong don’t sue me it’s been a few years since my space obsession

heres like. 900~ words of vague thoughts. enjoy!

From Cygnus to Canes Venatici, Cassiopeia to Canis Major; he lost himself to the endless stars he admired so much. With free rein and nothing better to do, he traveled from place to place. He could now, considering he could fly and didn’t need to breathe. His obsession swelled from the attention, enthralled by the stars and planets and nebulas within reach. It’s unclear how long its been since his feet last touched the ground, but he didn’t even notice at first.

A perfect pair of stars—Mizar and Acruz to be exact, binary stars— twirled around each other. From earth they look like one big blue star, but from here? Yellow space dust nips at his heels as the two continue their dance. It’s the prettiest thing he’s ever seen. NASA would kill to see it too. Such a pretty view… Jazz would want to see it.

The thought snapped him out of his obsession.

For a moment, space is less lonely. She’d want to take a picture for him, but she’d use that stupid old phone and it’d get all messed up and look like a big light bulb. That’s when Tucker would, naturally, beg to upgrade it for her, and she’d yell at him for the hundredth time while Sam would laugh. But just as quickly as it came, the illusion shattered. His sister is back in Illinois with the rest of his friends. He’s the homeless guy in space.

Even Danny could admit that spending eternity alone in space was too much. At this point, circling back to earth might be the best option. There’s a fifty-fifty chance he’ll either feel better or more homesick, but he usually faced worse odds in fights back home, so he’ll take it.

It was sightseeing from the moon when he saw it. The Justice League's very own watchtower.

He really shouldn’t go there. Jazz would lecture him so hard if he did.

But. Well. What if he just peaked? Really quickly, he swears.

Danny mentally apologizes to Jazz (not that she would ever find out, but it’s the thought that counts). In his perfectly acceptable defense, all that time lifelessly floating through space messed with his ability to tell time.

A ‘quick peak�� became an hour— became a day, became a week, became two weeks, became a month...

Well, there’s only so much a space-bound ghost could do. It’s not like he can come to earth, right? Might as well prank some of Earth’s most notorious heroes. He’ll be careful, he swears.

Batman knew something was up when a batarang went missing on the watchtower. He, like all the primary heroes, keeps spare equipment on the Watchtower for emergencies. Every Tuesday, he checks on his gear. Every single one is accounted for (and fixed if necessary).

Until today.

He called in the emergency while checking the cameras and scouring for evidence (of which, he found none). It only confirmed his suspicions. Every Justice League member who’d visited the tower last week had shoved themselves into the meeting room.

“What’s this all about, Bats?” The flash says, nervous energy coming off him in waves, “you said there was an emergency?”

Most superheroes were liars to some extent (how else are you meant to hide the crime fighting) but that didn’t mean most were good ones. Micro expressions, body language, tone or eye contact— there were many ways to discern the truth if you were looking for it. In the time it takes him to walk into the room, Batman observes the following:

Green Lantern’s body was angled towards the door, looking ready to run— but judging by the communicator he was poorly hiding behind his back and stiff leg, he probably just finished something exhausting for the Corps. Or he just doesn’t want to be here. Nice of him to show up anyways— it’ll hopefully be quick.

Flash is avoiding eye contact— but that doesn’t mean much. The man hates eye contact sometimes, and based off of the rapid movements of his hands today was one of those days. One of the only ones that could've done it, but not likely.

Superman is one of the good liars, but the confusion on his face (most likely) isn’t faked. Not him.

Red Robin— Batman frowns and focuses on his son and his friends. He’s one of the best actors he knows, but Bruce knows his kids. The teenagers are hiding something, but they don’t know about the batarang. They’re shifty, but not nervous enough to get caught doing something. He’ll note that.

Robin has his default ‘annoyed’ face. Not that he’d ever do it. The day Damian pranks someone would be the day pigs fly. (Naturally of course, it doesn’t count if any magic or alien shenanigans or regular humans throwing them into the air caused it, Jason.)  

Wonder Woman, Nightwing, Beast Boy, Wonder Girl, and Superboy were all off-world on a mission with a few other heroes. He wasn’t expecting any of them to do it. None of them had the time or reason to (plus, Nightwing, Beast Boy, and Wonder Girl would definitely want to see his reaction if they did, so.)

It only leaves one option.

Batman tosses Flash a granola bar (surprised but thankful, shoulders less tense, probably not the suspect) before continuing.

“An unknown entity has infiltrated the Watchtower.”

Everyone froze. Quite literally, to Batman’s surprise. The room’s temperature dropped dramatically— he swiveled to face the intruder and finds... a terrified-looking teenager floating near the ceiling.

Well. He found the Batarang. Give it up for the world’s greatest detective. Wahoo.

(post dividers by @jayteacups​​ btw. they’re rlly cute i think so i used it lmao)

i told you the ending was bad hfgjk. if inspiration strikes you might get a part 2 haha. if that ever happens ill probs fix it up and post to ao3. neyways!

don’t be mean to danny ;_; he’s just a little guy ok. let him be nice sometimes </3 i gotta admit the mental image of supermans cape getting tied to batmans was too funny id draw it but every time i try it looks like a henry stickman drawing

taglist time!! i hope i got everyone: @skulld3mort-1fan​ @amercurio​​ @screamingtofillthevoid​​ @mimilikey​​ @dewdrop-gremlin​ @evediaphoenix1123​ @satanicrutialspecialist​​ @dixiwoods

au where danny haunts the justice league. one day, green lantern is stuck on monitor duty (bored out of his mind) and he hears a kid giggling. there’s no one there. he’s mindly terrified but also he’s been a green lantern for a while and ‘ghost child laughter’ is not the weirdest thing ever so he shrugs and moves on. he forgets about it. next day, the flash is using the watchtower’s computer to find info on a rouge that’s bothering him. he’s been here for hours already, and is drinking coffee (with an insane amount of caffeine considering the speedster thing) to stay awake. barry goes to grab his cup, only to find it’s not there anymore. he looks up: his cup is floating a few meters above his head. when he blinks, its back to its original spot. he thinks its a hallucination and goes home to sleep it off. it goes on like that for a while. batman finds a granola bar taped to his utility belt (with a note telling him to go home) and assumes its one of his kids. superman gets a packet of information on his latest villian and assumes its batman (considering the info borders on stalking). wonder woman comes to the watchtower one day to find all her spare armor and weapons cleaned and shined. she thinks flash got really bored during monitor duty one day. and so on.

do you have any tips for like... paneling? your lil comics, if i could call them that(?) with Dave are well made (to me at least) and I'd like to get into making comics! or if you know any resources that helped you. :') - sincerely, a beginner.

sorry to be answering this so late, wanted to try and give some kinda proper advice haha so what i do is i just make my posts as long as possible so that it takes up like all of ppls dash, this means they are forced to look at it and engage with it! no ok but for real, first off this is just how i do things and by no means any sort of proper tutorial or anything, most of this is prob kinda basic and intuitive stuff, but its good to be reminded of the basics and to notice why you might be doing said things intuitively so you can start doing it intentionally so how i approach things is by picking a focus panel whats the Punchline/Emotional pay off for the page/comic? and then i try and build the rest around that for actual Comics not every page is gonna have one of those ofcourse and thats fine i tend to often have to many focus panels,,,, lmao(which is why my posts end up so long,,,,) i try to group similar panels and make them smaller, it saves space, makes it so the attention goes to the more unique panels and makes things feel more sequential(or u can do like me and have too many similar panels and think, what if i just make it an animation, its just a few extra frames right,,,?<- clueless(i have done this twice now,,, the second is still a wip,,, )) heres one of my posts deconstructed using all this, id do more of them but i dont wanna make this even longer asdsd, but i think its pretty obvious to pick up on once you know the formula lol

after that i think its mostly just clear composition and flow so things dont get confusing(like what panel(also applies to text) youre suppose to read next and such(thats easier with this cus its usually just individual panels and not full pages)) edit: oh and resources that helped me, i mostly just looked at other comics, paying attention to how the paneling was effecting the story and mood! some comics ive looked at for paneling inspo are houseki no kuni, how they play with contrast and stuff, idk theyre all just very striking, i looked at ajin at some point as well for help with some action stuff, most action shonen are also great for that 2 so yeah, just find a comic scene that has the same vibe that youre trying to get and see how they did it, finding a few and comparing and contrasting what you feel works best thats my thought process while doing stuff at least! i hope this helps at least a bit haha

i am once again impatient and on mobile so when I'm home ill make this prettier but for now here's bane's bulleted final fantasy vii r verse:

× an ex-shinra communications director with a target on his back because of all of the influential and top secret information he took with him when he left the corporation, he now works at the honey bee Inn as a bartender / dancer under a fake name and altered appearance to lessen the chances of being recognized. he's more himself than he has ever been now.

× he definitely does a bit of mercenary work here and there for extra income and because when he worked as a suit, he never really got to do much fighting; he actually really enjoys fighting and is pretty talented at it, and proves that throughout his story.

× when he found out about the plot to take down Shinra, he was more than willing to involve himself and help out the heroes who were executing it, even with a bounty out for him, in exchange for additional protection. he can clearly take care of himself but it doesn't hurt having extra eyes looking out for his wellbeing right?

× bane proves to be an asset in terms of secret maps and location names, the names and appearances of powerful figures both in Shinra and directly related to Shinra, military personnel, classified scientific experiment information and other intel. he plans to continue giving all he can to aid the rebel forces and bring down the empire that he helped shinra build

musings to myself:

im still sad that i didn’t get into ASLA. at the very least, i thought i’d pass the first round.

i guess that was very prideful of me. i crammed the essays pa nga. so the result shouldn’t really be like shocking u_u haha

but yeah idk ever since that happened i couldn’t rly get it out of my mind. it continually bothers me.

“am i being a leader?? am i a good leader? do others even look up to me or follow me or what”

i know people in blue symph look up to me for piano/CAP (im nat even the best lol) skills, but leadership doesn’t seem to be a thing, which is fair. what have i really done anyway?

idkkkk

ang kapal ng mukha ko to think that i have done smth to merit passing ASLA. for all the work i’ve put in the org, has it really come to anything? why do i bother?

such questions continue to plague me always. idk. maybe i should stop seeking validation. maybe i wanted to ASLA for the wrong reasons, which was to better myself? i should go, for others, to be better for others.

IDK i really just dont know

i /might/ be the next president (well, probably unless josh wants or i fuck up really bad this sem). annelle would ask me why i wanted to be, and i never really knew. answering the call of service seems too fcking stuck-up and kapal. 

is it for myself? for my benefit? i know i would die w the position. stress levels at an all-time high.

is it too leave a legacy? so i feel like i’ve done something? maybe.

is it for the prestige? for the resumes? not rly for the resumes, although ive always wanted to be a president of smth.

but what does being president rly entail??

aaaaagh : (

i want to help this org and i believe i have the capability and the heart to do so. (DO I?? IM SO SHY im so awkward how do i form relationships w other ppl im not cool : ( ) 

is that enough?? im sure others care as much if not more than me.

maybe ill find the answers another day

i guess the good thing about the ASLA rejection is... idk i feel more conviction in things. i wanna pursue the things i care about. i watch more concerts, started to share sht on fb, idk they sound small but baby steps??

when i answered the form given to me (to be answered by scholars) on why i chose ateneo, i said it was because i wanted to be a leader. i thought that would happen due to my course, said to form leaders. or in my home organization. but i found an orchestra, the real home, and i found myself devoting more time to music than i ever thought i would

(bg: i always had artsy dreams. fashion designer, writer, composer; none i really took /that/ seriously tho)

idkk this post is rly just a clusterfuck so idk no one’s probs reading this naman hahaha

----

one of the things that still bug me is how ******* said i didn’t have passion. or that i wasn’t the most driven person. which still kinda stings and hurts up to today. i never know if i’m doing enough. idk, i guess blue symph or music as an advocacy is too shallow or im not pursuing it enough. irdk.

not that im the most driven person coz im hella fckin lazy. SHT idk : ( fucking

----

nothing i do will ever be enough : ( im not particularly sad writing this. (by particularly sad i mean, crying and humahagulgol all that jazz) im just...... hahaha such is life
