Halloween prompts year 2 day 30

Danny became aware suddenly, the memory of his mothers parting shot as he fled fresh in his mind. He panicked, thrashing around in what felt like a thick liquid when his hand hit what felt like a wall of glass.

A tube? Was Danny floating in a freaking vat somewhere? He didn't remember anything after being shot down by his mom but he knew if he was in a lab somewhere he needed to escape!

In moments he was on the ground surrounded by wierd fluid and shattered glass. He ripped the oxygen mask off his face and threw it away from him as a violent shiver wracked his body.

Looking up he was surprised. He was expecting the bright shiney metal of his parents lab, or the white of the GIW lab, heck, even the wierd purple thing Vlad sometimes had going on would have made sense. As much as he would have hated to have been saved by the fruitloop, it would have been a familiar fight.

The devil you know and all that.

But no, this lab was all dull blacks, dark grays and inky shadows. The tubes around him bathing the atmosphere in a soft green glow that barely illuminated anything.

Great. Wonderful. Just what he needed. More people making more problems for him.

Danny picked himself up off the ground, shuttering again and was surprised to realize he didn't have any clothes on.

Danny decided that whoever had kidnapped him was going to get acquainted the Anti-creep stick. Luckly there was a closet nearby with what looked like a superhero costume in it. Okay. Hes dealt with weirder situations.

He put most of the suit on, leaving behind the cape, mask and chest straps. Danny had to admit he liked the red and black look. The gold was a nice touch...too...

Oh no. Where these supervillian clothes?! Red and black are totally Saturday morning cartoon villian colors! His mind started whirling, somthing that it doesn't usually do as he made his way over to the darkened computer almost by instinct.

Then he looked up.

There wasn't a lot of light in this place, but there was enough to see his reflection in the blackness of the computer monitor. One problem.

That wasn't his face.

He was as this strangers face twisted into confusion and horror. Was he overshadowing somebody? No. No...he was...Tim Drake? He watched as his reflection furrowed his brows.

No. He was Danny Fenton, son of Jack and Maddie Fenton. Local mad scientists.

But...he was Tim Drake, son of Jack and Janet Drake. Archeologists.

A distressed sound left his throat as he slid to the floor, two entire lifetimes flashing before his eyes as he tried to figure out what was real. He tried using his powers but nothing happened. That should have answered everything, right?

But that wouldn't explain how he had shattered the entirety of the thick glass of his tube prison. The glass had been completely shattered and landed in a circle around the tubes base in a way no punch could have done, no matter how powerful. Does he have powers that are simply unavailable right now or is there another explanation?

Either way he should probably wear a mask so people don't ask why Tim Drake is dressed as Red Robin, huh?

Oh god. Red Robin.

He woke up in a cloning pod in one of Red Robins secret labs! He remembered Jack, Maddie, other Jack, and Janet's treatment of him. He recalled each and every dismissive comment, every empty promise. Every time the bleachers were empty at his vollyball games. Every time he was left home alone for an "important" dig. Every time his parents ran off because a ghost might be nearby. Every time Tim would throw everything to the wayside to focus on a case. Every time Tim would throw away his own health and well being for a goal. Every time...

Danny straightened up and pulled himself off the floor before he started typing away at the computer and planning his next moves.

Regardless of what was happening, if he was Danny overshadowing a clone or if his life as Fenton was just a dream from a pod, he knew one thing for sure.

He did not need another neglectful parent.

Aka Danny runs around Gotham avoiding the bats, the press, the rogues, the petty criminals, the mob, and the police. He fails of course and manages to somehow make enemies out of everyone all while having a massive identity crisis and searching for a new home far far away from here before Tim Drake figures out who he really is...

(elden ring DLC spoilers)

i fucking love Radahn so much, what i wouldnt give to meet ACTUAL him, he just gets toyed with and exploited so cruelly, you never really get to know him or what he wants im hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh so normal :)

like i know theres little to go by with typical fromsoft lore and stuff but agreeing to marry miquelly feels so ... not radahn like, why would he have fought malenia and then even after gettign the rot refuse to die if he wanted that .... also didnt he believe in the golden order?? miquella wanted to replace it basically????-

even his 'new' design feels like some idealized version of him that miquella dreamed up, theres significant differences in whats left of radahn in the main game and i feel like even that is an important detail (the braids ... i braids are IMPORTANT IM TELLING YOU-) like it .... to some degrees looks ..almost cheap, like an action figure (what the hell are all those sword things on his belt?? he has his two giant blades that dont go in that??? he would never use a different one?? whats it doing here??) (also the fact that leonard is missing .... like sure we like to over emphasize some character quirks but i also feel like thats and important thing- leonard clearly meant alot to him and he had him still with him when he was fighting malenia and stayed together even after rotting away)

what really REALLY makes me so very "normal" about everything is that radahn remains voiceless and has no say in anythign the entire time we meet him, hes either a zombie or a literally flesh puppet constructed by his own half brother (out of another family member, which clearly shows bc hes using blood magic and got horns growing)- aside from very few quotes on some items we never get to know him, we dont know what he wanted, he gets dragged into this and is then like some animated statue, theres no emotion in his face, even less sound he makes when fighting, even, in my opinion, his animation in the final DLC fight seem OFF to me- it looks stiff how hes moving whenever hes not actively attacking

(also miquella and what he wants is constantly talked about, but while its all about radahn in a way . we never hear anything from radahns side, its never even questioned. as far as i know, like !!!!! argh!!!)

(edit: also also the fact that in this puppet version of the design changes arent just the armor, his skin is different color too, even in the trailer when he fights malenia- BEFORE the rot- he seemed sort of ashy- greyish dark, even if hard to tell with color tint- his hair much longer in og now much shorter and in braids, his armor less practical and more show offy, he doesnt have a bow, even his swords look different, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY his weird anatomy he seems to have in og that i think is from renalla is gone too- AND yes i know his body is constructed from moghs there- which makes this all so much worse bc almost all that was him is stripped away and twisted into what miquella wants from him, second phase its almost all light attacks tooo- ok im stopping this now)

i know it might seem like im just making excuses bc i cant handle my favorite character agreeing to marry his own half brother- BUT I DONT CARE- HE DIDNT WANT IT- WE DONT KNOW WHAT HE WANTS- WE NEVER GET TO ASK HIM- HE NEVER GETS TO SPEAK AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASDJKBHKFJBGSKBVGFHDKBFKABKBA

it’s kinda funny to me how that dumb scene in kiwami 1 of majima getting shot and left for dead in the harbor was basically just added as a half-assed way to explain majima not being around for a bit of the plot, but they accidentally(?) just made it seem like start of a chain reaction where majima ended up feeling slighted and heartbroken after being abandoned like that and then lashed out about it via smashing a big truck into the building kiryu was in. and yeah that isn’t inherently a romantic thing as-is but then they go and add the part where majima grabs a hostess and performatively hits on her as in-kiryu’s-face as possible, she says she’s already in love with someone, and majima lets her go immediately, no questions asked, making a big fucking point of it just to say see THAT kiryu? I appreciate when people are HONEST about their FEELINGS. people who won’t just BACKSTAB someone who CARES about them to save themselves. is that so crazy kiryu?? huh??? anyway make it up to me get down here and fight me right fucking now

Im re-reading all the ACOTARs for some unexplainable reason and holy toblerone.

Turns out Im always here for Ianthe slander. Im always here to say Nesta and Tamlin deserved better.

Im always here to say the inner circle is over glorified and Morrigan needs to get over herself.

Unfortunately im also here to say Elain doesnt deserve Lucien - but also Jurian and Vassa are better friends to him than Feyre ever was.

That being said Feyre might have the excuse of being young for all her shortcomings but i will never ever forgive her for what she did not just to Tamlin but for the whole Spring Court. The regular folks did nothing to her yet they had to suffer just cUz fUck tAmLin.

you know what I do have one complaint

what do you Mean when you finish Lucanis' big quest and he goes "I have better plans for my evening" that wasn't him implying a romantic dinner or a date afterwards why the fuck did that go nowhere we just saved his grandmother and stopped his cousin from handing over the entire city to an evil mage and he became First Talon which means he inherits the Gigantic Fucking Mansion with it's own Guesthouse and Opera House and all it culminates to is him drinking coffee back at the Lighthouse going "damn, that was crazy" they set it up perfectly-

unpopular vocaloid opinion: i wish the version of Big Al that was voiced by Michael King and sounded like Elvis was released and i'm actually so sad that he wasn't. a lot of people think his voice sounds weird and bad and even a little creepy but i think he's one of the most unique Vocaloid voices ever and i cannot think of any other Vocaloid who sounds like him and does what he does. the bit of singing we get in his demo song (the slow rap one) sounds really impressive (i LOVE the vibrato) and i think he could have been a really versatile voicebank if he were properly finished and fittingly tuned to match the vocal style he's inspired by. his voice sounds very crisp and high quality and has a ton of detail that makes him sound very realistic, which is pretty damn good for a V2 Vocaloid!! admittedly, his singing in the 'I Feel Good' demo is a bit dodgy, but he sounds really good in the other two demos, and like... he's trying his best and i lovw him :) the version of Big Al we did get is just... not really it for me. he doesn't have that unique gruff sounding voice and he can sound really iffy in his high ranges. don't get me wrong, his voice is really good and i do like his final incarnation!! he's just not as unique as he could have been. a lot of the more experimental Vocaloids went unreleased and that really saddens me because they all had so much potential. plus his original Elvis Frankenstein's Monster design goes so hard

bonus: Sweet Ann is a great vocaloid and her design wasn't really that bad, it just clashes with the rest of the anime-inspired designs of the other vocaloids. the fire-like background on her box art is absolutely hilarious, yes, but also i really genuinely love her original design a lot. it's so unique and it's actually really pretty!! i love the classic vibe she has going and like Big Al, there's no Vocaloid who's really like her. i think they really did Ann dirty with her redesign, like the design itself is good but it's just not Sweet Ann. they took everything that was special and unique about her away and now she looks kinda bland (at least compared to how she originally looked), and plus, they made her skin tone super light to the point where she just looks like a completely different person to the original Ann. like who tf is this character and what did she do with the original Sweet Ann 😭

[orchestrated-haunting]

Every time I see what they did to Fionn Mac Cumhail in Fate, I get sad because mans just really loved his good buddy, who definitely wasn't anything else... totally. Like in the few Celtic myths we have he's just a sweet guy and he completely forgave Diarmuid because he knew it wasn't his fault and he never really got over his death.

Back on my bullshit answer my questions

while doing some rudimentary research for this poll it has come to my attention that pins and needles are a feeling felt while the limb is asleep, not the period of intense sensation/tingling/sensitivity experienced while it comes back online. or maybe it's both? the stuff i read referred to it as tingling that happens while the limb is pinned/under pressure/numb. i cannot find anything that references what i have come to think of as "the agony" but ive referred to it as the pins and needles in the options for this poll anyway.

Mild: limb has muted sensation but can be moved and used carefully, pins and needles begin almost immediately after limb is moved from whatever position caused it to fall asleep. Pins and needles not painful and do not appear painful, and last a few seconds, person affected is capable of speech and moving other parts of their body during pins and needles, which last a few seconds.

Middle intensity: limb is numb or partially numb and can twitch but not be moved precisely. Pins and needles begin a few seconds after limb is unpinned or when it is moved. Pins and needles not painful but intense and appear uncomfortable, taking a lot of the affected person's attention/capacity. they last between 5 and 7 seconds.

Intense: limb is numb and cannot move/be used, pins and needles begin 5-7 seconds after the limb is unpinned. pins and needles are intense and may be painful or not painful but 'unbearable', causing the affected person to cry out, grimace, or otherwise appear to be in pain. Person cannot speak or move their other limbs during pins and needles, which last 10 or more seconds (without shaking) and have residual tingling for a few seconds after limb regains movement/becomes bearable to move

obviously this all depends on how long the limb was pinned but just answer whichever is the most common for you, and if you want you can put in the tags what positions make your limbs go numb/how you deal.

I really wanna interact for real with them someday!! North and Sarah have so much friendship potential. Oh!! Not to mention your legendary characters? I honestly have fallen for them greatly, I loved getting to know more about them during the gala, Jasper is just so much fun to listen to. I loved all the little deep dives you've done into the Lore around them, and just your lore in general. It's super interesting and never fails to instantly capture my attention. I might not know much about the canon characters you've integrated into your blog but boy I love seeing them anyway. Even if I know next to NOTHING about the canon versions of them. I'm not very smart when it comes to Pokemon characters or lore so a lot of details fly right over my head but that doesn't stop me from adoring the hell out of your blog!! I'm super excited to see more!! 🥺💞

the 'i totally wrecked my walls' saga gets funnier bc ive spent the past few days trying to figure out how tf to get out of the inevitable fine and one thing i joked about was that i have a lot of hard hitters on my side if shit really does get nasty. like my flatmate's mum is an actual soliciter, my dad is a finance guy who can write an email so scathing you'll cry, my local friend's family owns half the property in the city and knows all the tricks of the trade when it comes to housing, and then there's just my mum who was like 'oh yeah i regularly used to dodge rent in my twenties. you'll be fine' and somehow she's the one im finding the most reassuring rn

me looking at Mirajane's canon content

[bam-monsterhospital]

as much as I personally enjoyed the main summerset quest, it is still yet another exhausting example of zos trying to shove elder scrolls lore into a more palatable standard dungeons & dragons paradigm, and as such the world suffers.

the biggest example is the lady-coded daedric princes here, Mephala and Nocturnal.  With Nocturnal being lampooned into mastermind woman-deciever, and Mephala --the webspinner, the eldritch abomination whose sphere is obscured and unknowable to mortals, the plans-within-plans deity-- is reduced to being another boring basic lolth clone.
