a cuckoo in the nest update
a plan, a snippet, and a question
plan is of course subject to change
no idea how long it will be
anyways, here's the snippet:
---
A seed of suspicion sprouts in the stake park. Someone whose name may or may not rhyme with Grick Dayson strong-arms Bruce into taking his family to the skate park nearest to their home in Bristol. Necessarily, the fae accompanies them. Bruce expected it to be on its best human-like behavior in public, but even he, paranoid bastard that he is, underestimates the cunning of the creature. Gone is the lost little boy act; in is the rascal preteen boy who hollers at his older brothers from the sidelines to do a kickflip.
Within minutes, the fae has acquired a skateboard. After a couple of wobbly attempts at using it, the fae progresses to attempting to drop in. If the fae were a human child, Bruce would strongly advise it to practice more before making an attempt. If the child were his kid, Bruce would insist on wearing kneepads and the like before stepping foot on another skateboard.
As it is, Bruce is not even sure that the fae can be hurt in the same way as humans. Through his research and through the fae’s demonstration, Bruce has learned a little about how fae operate; namely, that they separate body from being. A fae can be hurt through incorporeal, intangible means that mean nothing to humans, such as using a “true name” and striking deals. Humans can break bargains, lie, and call each other names without anything resembling consequences. But is the reverse also true? Are fae immune to bullets and knives and all the weapons humanity has to offer? Bruce is quite certain that Tim–the particular fae forced upon him–has no idea.
“TIM!”
Speak of the devil. Bruce’s gaze instantly snaps to the bottom of the half-pipe. His eyes land on Tim’s skateboard, which sails away from him (it). The fae stays on its hands and knees as Jason and Dick pound over dirty concrete, flying over the railings and people to reach him first. Both hover as Tim pulls himself to his feet.
“You okay?” Dick squats next to Tim. “Those knees look pretty banged up.”
But Tim’s attention isn’t on his skinned knees quickly welling with beads of blood or the boys by his side. His gaze stays trained on the runaway skateboard. “I used to be able to float,” he cries, and bursts into tears.
Jason pats him on the back. “Alright, calm down, Timmy’s Delivery Service. We’ll getcha back in the air in no time.”
“I don’t want to!” Tim shoves his hand away, perfectly emulating the preteen boy behavior it is pretending to be. “I’m not going to float, ever again. I’m gonna learn to skateboard.” And he marches all of two petulant steps away from Jason before he freezes and looks down at his knees.
Like he’s surprised they hurt.
Long after Dick cleans and patches up those cuts and bruises, Bruce’s eyes keep looking at Tim’s knees. The fae bled red just like any human and had not expected it. The fae wants to learn skateboarding and wants to leave behind the dreamlike ways of the fae. This fae–Tim–wants to be human. This fae has known nothing but the fae realm and the life of the Unseelie Court. An iron fist in a velvet glove, the rule of the Unseelie Queen. Perhaps, with time and exposure to Gotham, Tim now values the marvels of the human realm and wishes to join it? Is it possible they might turn against the Unseelie Queen?
How old is the fae?

That is also my reaction to his voice.
#I'm clearly holding up well right now#jeremy jordan#-pant-#the schmuel song#tl5y#the last five years#also me at every Jeremy ever#the question is:#can you hear this picture?#also thinking about the time I didn't mention the pant while watching and Tash was concerned for my wellbeing#it is my part

I love Tumblr, where else are my ten-year-old posts going to suddenly gain momentum out of nowhere and fall upon an audience seeing them for the first time?
#the question is:#who dug so far into someone's PCap tag (be it mine or someone else's) and found it

i dont consider myself a 'fashion guru' by any means but one thing i will say is guys you dont need to know the specific brand an item you like is - you need to know what the item is called. very rarely does a brand matter, but knowing that pair of pants is called 'cargo' vs 'boot cut' or the names of dress styles is going to help you find clothes you like WAAAYYYY faster than brand shopping
#also theres no one good place to learn this generally ive picked up yhe knowledge by asking questions#or reading through catalogues. paying attention to the words used to describe clothing styles i like

It is my solemn duty as GM to deliver on this o7
being a GM is really fun because sometimes you can make your players go through some really traumatic Evangelion bullshit, but other times you can force them to go bowling for no reason

I don’t care if you make fun of Catholicism as long as it’s accurate! The best humour has its roots in the truth.

On the topic of extensions to improve search engine experience, there's Indie Wiki Buddy
Blocks fandom and fextralife links (similar to ublacklist) but ALSO gives you a button to click to go to that page in the indie wiki version.
So if you look up "stone bricks Minecraft", Google will give you the fandom one, indie wiki buddy will cross it out and give you a button that says "Click me to enter the stone bricks page on the indie Minecraft wiki"

Block these sites in your uBlock Origin so you won't see that shit in your searches
#in an unrelated topic#how much do you think fandom pays to ensure Minecraft wiki stays at top#because like#the indie wiki is higher than the fandom wiki for Minecraft for every search engine except Google#so fandom is paying Google to keep the fandom Minecraft wiki on top#the question is:#how much are they paying?
