DannyMay Split AU Week 3 - Revenge
As the years passed so too did Danny's life without him. Even though he aged, his mentality didn't. Steadily, Phantom started taking over more and more. The villains he once fought against with near cartoonish antics now attacked mercilessly. For most it was the replacement of resentments by rage, no longer solely "haunted" by a life poorly lived. Their loss of freedom left them volatile towards Danny. For Vlad, it was much more personal.
Despite the growing collection of scars, Phantom always pressed on. Picking up the slack from his human counterpart. Regardless of his own hatred towards the teen, he had to protect the one he shared a body with.

I was inspired by Ryōko Kui's Dungeon Meshi artwork, especially her grids of each fantasy race, and wanted to do something similar for my original species in Other Skies. I felt it would be a good challenge and would be useful to future players, since it shows a variety of folk from each species.
In order from top to bottom, this set includes Santornans, Lunestrians, and Laranthians.
I tried to include multiple ages, genders, and body types in each one. It's been quite fun so far! My plan is to post them in sets of 3 until all 9 species are represented.
Set #2 - Eshenali, Zairs, and Atraxans
Set #3 - Sucralites, Kokoro, and Humans
#robot art#digital art#alien#alien ocs#original alien species#ryoko kui#other skies#character design#oc design#portrait#concept art#genuinely this has been a great exercise in avoiding sameface (hopefully!) and im looking forward to doing the rest!

La tarantola dal ventre nero (Black Belly of the Tarantula, 1971)
"Yes, I've always told you to drop it, it's true. But now... you're not giving up. Not now. And I don't really care about the movie. If they're out to get you, it means the murderer is afraid of you. It means you know what you're doing. He's afraid of you."
#La tarantola dal ventre nero#black belly of the tarantula#italian cinema#giallo#1971#paolo cavara#marcello danon#lucile laks#giancarlo giannini#claudine auger#barbara bouchet#rossella falk#silvano tranquilli#barbara bach#stefania sandrelli#annabella incontrera#ezio marano#giancarlo prete#nino vingelli#eugene walter#anna saia#relatively early in the giallo canon but it's nice how this is already starting to play with the established formula; Giannini's lead would#ordinarily be a loner out of his depth or an overly confident cop‚ but instead he's a cop out of his depth‚ crippled with self doubt and#paralysed by his own dissatisfaction with his chosen profession. he does his job well and correctly but still people keep dying and still#he solves the case less through some genius epiphany of what he's been missing and more from simply being in the right place at the right#time. it lends this all a sense of helpless ennui‚ the giallo as predestined exercise. unusual too in lacking a strong female leading#character; Bouchet is introduced as the apparent audience avatar then unceremoniously killed off a few minutes in‚ with no one really#rising to take her place. it's an interesting and downbeat dissection of the tropes‚ exposing that while plotting was usually king for#these films‚ in reality (and there is a streak of realism through this film which many gialli miss) it has little impact on the people and#the lives concerned. there is a great complex qeb of intrigue going on but it ends up having nothing to do with the killer's motive

i feel like in general the trend of people getting dogs and thinking they can rewire the dog’s bred-in instinct by just pretending it isnt there is just getting worse and worse and as someone heavily involved in rescue it’s just hard to watch because it’s the dogs who get failed
#no you shouldn’t be getting a great pyrenees when you live in an apartment in San Diego#no you don’t need a husky when you know you aren’t going to exercise it#no you really don’t want a cattle dog because of bluey#between this and the genetic nightmare doodles ppl keep buying then abandoning it’s like STOPPPPP#this has been a post*

it's so hard to believe (but i'm trying to change)
1.4k, fig missing scene, canon-compliant
Fig follows Quincy home after warlock class for two reasons and two reasons only—the first reason is because he’s suspicious and may pose a security threat for (future) President Applebees. The second reason is because he’s a narc and a shitty bitch. (or: fig goes on a walk and thinks about gilear.) (read on ao3)
this week's follow up is about the fact that gilear still hasn't, like, even reached out to fig at all to let her know that hes gonna be gone for... a year? because what the fuck, man.
#fh#fhjy#fantasy high#fig faeth#storytime#sorry i just love hurting her#this ones shorter and a little loosey goosey-er#but i had fun!#been on a lizzy mcalpine lockdown this week i hope i did the vibes justice#shoutout to me for getting this done in the face of the Symptoms#it has been such a blast writing these each week btw#great exercise in not being so fucking precious about it all#and riding the wave of inspiration and just having fun with it! yay!

i’m home !!
procedure went real well, everything was really smooth and almost as soon as they said, “you can count backwards if you want,” i don’t think i even said ten before i was suddenly in recovery and sipping some ginger ale.
honestly the worst part was the iv because they had to do it on the side of my wrist because apparently my veins are crooked ?? i just hate ivs anyway so that’s no surprise but other than that no complaints.
everyone was real nice and made sure i was well taken care of (my nurse even had me pee one more time before so she wouldn’t have to do a catheter which with my history…..thank you)
but yeah, i’ll have a follow up in about a month just to make sure everything’s good and the iud is doing its thing !!
i do have some cramping and bleeding but that’s normal, although a little funny because i literally just stopped my period yesterday but…oh well !! hopefully in a few months i won’t have hardly any so this we can handle and i hace some medicine (and my ~medicine) that’ll help so i’m all set.
mom had to go run some errands so my little recovery buddy is keeping me company. also, a moment of recognition for my new favorite shirt (thank you as always, Boss Dog Art; i’ve already got my eye on another one that says, “i think therefore i am against transphobia around the world” or something like that and it’s got a cool skeleton on it; this is my third shirt from them and they’re really comfy and good quality so not sponsored but check them out, they seem cool):
#It’s been a rough week leading up to this i’m not gonna lie#one of my neighbors was shooting on Sunday when i was in the pool#which i’m used to at this point#but for some reason i got triggered into a panic attack#and could not catch my breath#could not calm down for several minutes just scream crying#had to dunk my head underwater a few times and splash myself in the face#eventually i just buried my face in my towel and screamed cried until i physically had to stop#because i thought i was about to have a heart attack#so that wasn’t so chill#spent the rest of the day shaking#guess you just never know when it’s gonna hit!!#another plane has hit the ptsd towers#sorry#not for nothing though but the shooting stopped so there’s that#they probably thought someone had a fuckin’ ari aster movie turned up over here#nope just a mentally unstable bitch doing her best which clearly isn’t great but what can ya do!!#it was kinda funny though because i’ve been hesitant to go back out there since#but finally yesterday i had even worked longer the day before so i could really enjoy it#it had been sunny all day#no signs of rain#i’m ready to get some exercise in because i knew it might be a while#before i can again so i was really looking forward to a nice 30 minute run#damned if it didn’t start raining as soon as i got out there#and that was fine#i still ran a little got my water weights in#but the kicker was i looked at the weather on my phone and it looked like it was going to keep raining#so i said okay let me just go take a shower and settle in for the night#it didn’t rain and the sun came back out so oh well!#but point is…today went well and i’m doing okay and things could always be worse so no worries <3

Did a solid hour of swimming. I might have to look into seeing if someone could give me tips on swimming form and such. I am getting much faster and better at swimming though!
Afterwards, I went for a walk to hit my 10.5k steps! It's also a great excuse to listen to a podcast or talk to someone on the phone!
#feeling great#honestly this has helped me out so much mental health wise#and i think its helped my concentration#i struggled being in my apartment and this helps me get out of it and do something about it#wellness#weightloss#health & fitness#fitblr#losing weight#weight loss journey#fitness#exercise#swimming#i have been noticing some muscle definition which is exciting#even in my abs

Should make a pain killer that actually kills (or even touches) pain
#not that I have access to ultra hardcore stuff#but even when I had... pretty sure it was vicodine for my wisdom teeth; it didn't do a thing for me#cbd based stuff seems like it maybe helps; certainly does more than nsaids which do nothing for pain (great for inflammation though)#but I just... I'd really like something that actually makes my muscles and joints feel like... good; unpain#I'm sure it would be classified as addictive whatever it was but like... fuck man... I just want to not hurt#I can't tell if I have chronic pain cause... I kinda forget to pay attention when I'm hurting a lot of the time#I'll just... kinda realize I've been hurting bad all day and just not really focusing on it#and I also don't know how often it happens; if it's once a day or once a month or what; not great at noting that stuff down#but man... I don't even like most meds; so many meds either do nothing for me or make me feel like shit#like... benedril? however you spell it; someone gave me some once said it would help me sleep... help me be awake feeling like ass more lik#but like... love to see if muscle relaxants actually like... relaxed my muscles; but you get it; you get why I'll never be able to try it#though honestly I think therapeutic massage might help me a lot#but my doc says that really only gets authorized by physical therapy and... well for me physical therapy is useless#cause I forget to do the exercise; like it's me failing a physical therapy; not a probably with physical therapy#if I ever think I can keep up with it I'd love to try physical therapy for my back again; but I don't want to waste all my chances at it#not when... I descriptively didn't do it when I was in it before; I'd never remember to do any of the exercises#anyway; bonus story from when I was in urgent care when the infection came back (that's still never been solved)#I tell the doc 'last time it tore open a drainage hole it was the worst pain I've ever felt'... cause it was#I said 'I'll need something a bit stronger than an nsaid cause the nsaid did nothing but cut inflammation last time'#she's like 'don't worry; I got you'... wanna guess what she gave me? a newer nsaid#it didn't do shit; I was just lucky and it wasn't as painful... maybe the old drainage hole tore open easier this time#but I didn't even take the nsaid she prescribed; so I'm gonna say it wasn't that med helping#like I get it; you don't want to give opioids... and would it shock you to know that wasn't what I was looking for either#there's gotta be something between nsaid and fentynol man#...well... maybe the cdb has almost got my muscles... hurting less at least; only taken all this time I've been writing#they still hurt for sure... I don't know... get tired; you know?#mm tag so i can find things later

oh nooo that's quite a bummer :( but i'm very glad that i helped brightening up your day :") tbh your writing brightens up my day too (≧▽≦)
AND WAIT I'VE BEEN ACTUALLY QUITE THINKING ABOUT WHETHER ZOMBIE MOB HAS FOUGHT OFF A ZOMBIE WHEN I ASKED IF HE HAS EVER BITTEN SOMEONE and since you brought it up, well, would be okay to ask about the details of how it went 👁️👁️ (also him fighting off a fellow zombie to protect tome got me sobbing)
- 🪻
aww im glad my silly little words brighten ur day!! ur so sweet :]
and yes, it went horribly <3! tome prolly wasn't paying attention as closely as she should've been and got herself surrounded by a crowd. to be clear, that's not Always dangerous, since zombies arent like,, after ur brains in this constantly. but these zombies did look quite hungry, and human or not, she looked like a good meal,,
she had wandered off a bit from mob n ritsu, but mob heard the commotion first. tome has a big fucking baseball bat in this au that she likes to swing around, but a baseball bat can only get u so far in terms of self defense. she thins the horde but there's simply too many of them
mob lets exactly One zombie grab her and yank her toward them before he goes ballistic
watching zombies fight is a lot closer to watching wild animals fight than anything else, and it gets quite horrid sometimes. since their bites aren't rly "dangerous" to each other beyond the typical Oh No a Chunk of Flesh is Gone (not even painful for them, since their nerves r.. less than functional), the fight is a lot more close up and gruesome than a fight against a zombie and a human would be. humans usually back away from zombies immediately and try not to touch them at all in fear of getting bitten; zombies don't need to care abt that
most of the horde realizes that this meal isn't going to be easy and they wander off, but a few more hungry, more desperate ones try to rip into mob's throat at the first sign of defiance. it's not exactly a fair fight; it's like 1 against 4, so he's sorta bound to lose
thankfully ritsu shows up and shoots two of them down (he's Terrified of shooting mob by accident, but either way he'll probably die, so) and tome gets the last one with a good swing to the head. ritsu rushes to mob and is horrified by the amount of blood dripping from his neck and his arm; tome is equally as shocked, but she's mostly thinking, "ive Never seen a zombie defend a human before"
mob's neck is thankfully mostly just scraped up and clawed, but there Is some gruesome punctures where canines sank in and tugged. it's a lot worse along his arm that's bitten and gouged beyond belief. he loses a lot of blood here, but the whole nerves-no-longer-work thing is a blessing in disguise atm; he'd be in a lot of pain otherwise. while ritsu and tome are patching him up w shaky hands he simply glares beyond their shoulders like he thinks he's still in danger, even when they tighten the bandages. it's like he barely notices what they’re doing
his strangely alert behavior makes them think abt the possibility that maybe mob Knows he could've easily been shredded apart there, and he's a little scared and worked up abt it. the only reason he managed to fight as long as he did without dying is prolly bc the other zombies weren't as well-fed as mob—they were kinda weak and shaky from days of no food, but mob has humans taking care of him and keeping him fed 24/7
they're all shaken up by it pretty good.. tome is still reeling from the fact that mob defended her so valiantly, and ritsu is quietly horrified by the idea of another zombie killing mob instead of a human. he doesn't know which is worse
#qktalks#anon#zombie au#this isn't the first time ritsu has had to kill a zombie btw ^#this is just the first time he's had to kill one since he started seeing zombies in a different light#it was either letting his brother die or killing a zombie. ritsu's upset that he had to make that decision at all#but he's not afraid to say that the decision was incredibly easy to make#it sucks that he had to kill one but . for mob ? literally anything goes#ritsu checked tome over after they took care of mob too. tome's very surprised when he's rly gentle abt it#ritsu's been known to .. lose his head a little in moments of stress#and sometimes he snaps at tome bc of it. he never means to he's just..worked up#but this time he's kinda fretting over her and it opens her eyes a little bit#ritsu has indeed grown to care abt tome a lot. they bicker Most of the time but it's usually not very serious#in all the excitement tome just hadn't rly realized that until now. ritsu is so high-strung that it's hard to get a read on his softer side#but now he's not just directing his softer side to his brother‚ but to tome as well#i have 15 more tags to explain smth i wanna make clear btw let's hope i don't start rambling abt smth else entirely#so i've been using a lot of vocabulary in these au posts that hint toward mob being ''special'' or ''abnormal'' in his behavior#he is not special or abnormal in any way#Every zombie is like that. every zombie has a personality‚ and a gentler demeanor hidden behind that desperate starvation#and remnants of their past selves in there somewhere#mob is simply one of the only zombies that have been taken in and cared for and treated like a sick person rather than a monster#as i've said before most people just.. either run away or shoot them between the eyes when crossing paths with a zombie#they don't give any of them a Chance. mob is a very very lucky zombie.#he is healthier than most other zombies and he is treated far better#and the way ritsu constantly talks to him is actually great for his health ! gets those rusty gears in his head rollin#exercises that brain‚ even if‚ to ritsu‚ he's only responding in odd gibberish#that's only one of the things ritsu gives him that other zombies never receive in their lifetimes#i'd say mob prolly ? has one of the longest ''zombie lifespans''#most zombies either die of starvation‚ dehydration‚ or sleep deprivation within a few weeks#he's lived a long zombie life !

top ten breakfasts that inspire poetry
#with some red tomato salsa on top its so good#i just made some and life is beautiful again#the perfect breakfast is egg in the hole both sides generously crisped with butter#cooked so that the yolk is runny and soft#a perfect dipping sauce for when you pull the bread apart with your bare hands#a meal too good to be simply eaten with a fork like normal it is meant to be devoured#yolk running down your fingers from the bread as you pop it bit by bit into your mouth#so... in short one of the best breakfasts to exist#has me thinking about a poem about the trials of making the perfect one#having made mnay egg in a holes which were not great to almost perfect#theres an artform in knowing when to flip it#too early and the bread is not toasted and delicious and the yolk may break and fill your pan and not your mouth#too late and one side becomes much more toasted than the other and the yolk cooks leaving u with an adequate breakfast#but not the perfect one and the knowledge leaves you staring forlornly at it as u eat it with the fork#knowing the breakfast it couldve shouldve been#its an exercise in both patience which i have always lacked#and confidence overcoming the nerves of breaking your yolk which is something i have learned to slowly have#as the years go by i get better at having both of those things the patience and the confidence#and have made better and better breakfasts and one day i will make an egg in a hole that is perfect and beautiful and just like my grandpas

💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗 you know that post about creating community if that's what you crave?
I made an enormous pile of choc chip cookies and I batched it out for our upstairs and downstairs neighbours, my ma and my great-uncle across town, and my granddad's old pal and his family, and I just got done delivering them and I feel like 🪽🪽🪽🪽🪽🪽
so alight and alive with it all!!!! I love people! I love them!!! I am so full of fruit and phone numbers I probably won't ever call!
Life can be so unbearably sweet ❤️
#I'm badly depressed so it was a rote mechanical baking exercise yesterday bc I've been meaning to bake sth as a housewarming present#for upstairs for like 2 years now. and they're always so nice to us. and they brought dates from the South with them this time#so I got to do it. finally. and their kid is a big k-pop stan so I got the 👀👀👀👀👀 stare from her but she's super sweet too#and I hope the next Korean she meets is more interesting/less of a fake lol#downstairs (young couple) was happy with me (I watched the cookies disappear in real-time)#my ma and I ate some at the old bazaar while cat-watching which 👌 and then my great-uncle actually finished his!#and then late this evening I went over to the H's who are so chummy and sweet and kept me for an hour#and I got to meet everyone after like 2 years of Mr H telling me his daughter and I would be BFFs#(she's really cool. a single mom working in mech eng? here? the coolest literally)#sooooo yeah that's more socialising than I've done in 2024 put together. and all of them are people I like and wanted to connect with!!!#and I got to do it! I got to talk to all of them and all of them were just so lovely#food continues to be my way of prying the door open and it has yet to fail me :D#I feel whole. Finally. I feel like I'm doing something worthwhile with my waking hours.#and all it took was 300g of butter and a slab of chocolate. I got to know so many neighbours. it filled a void I've been sick from.#.........:) yeah.#thought

Today I got a good grade in physical therapy which is both normal to want and possible to achieve.
#He told me my form was great#and he could tell I'd been dedicated to my exercises#which I have been#so it was true#but I was still ecstatic#I love getting good grades at doctor#I have a physical on Wednesday#hoping for good grades there too#I've lost about 40 more lbs since the last one#and my numbers are all looking good on my labs#except my damn HDL which has been stuck at 35 for like 4 years now#I think that's just where it lives no matter what I do#oh well

very very good bit that I think should be on this blog
#star trek: ds9#vengeance#miles o'brien#julian bashir#ot3: o'briens + 1#included the entire context so people can see WHY Julian is struggling#this novel has been a great look into Julian as a leader#he struggles with it! he is struggling!#his POV on all of this has been especially fascinating he is NOT confident#and he didnt WANT to step up to lead this group in the first place#he's just as terrified as the rest of them but he's doing his best to put on a brave face#and from Miles and Jake's POV at least thats been working really well#they havent been able to tell that he's panicking just as much as they are#until right now- Miles can see Julian's struggle here#and even then he's not seeing all of it#because he's not seeing that Julian's terrified just being in zero-G#honestly this novel has also been a great exercise in seeing Julian from Miles' POV#and seeing that Miles is very much blinded by his own biases and doesnt see the whole picture when it comes to Julian#he thinks Julian is a confident if naive leader#when the reality is that Julian is terrified and panicking and struggling every step of the way because he barely knows what he's doing#I love this sm#this really highlights just how young Julian still is#he's... 32 at this point#and would be a First Lieutenant by now#but still. young#and feeling all of his inexperience#and just trying his best to get everybody out alive

Beasties of Greenhollow soundtrack! Some tracks on this are from older projects like elphame but all of them have been reworked in some way. Most of them are entirely new. Enjoy!
#soundtrack#music#indiegamedev#Youtube#beasties of greenhollow#indiegame#chiptune#elphame#hey again gang. Another scream into the void#Things have been getting more interesting tbh#I'm starting therapy again. I have learned from this that my anxiety is in the very very high end.#And I guess the only thing that surprises me about that is that it's an abnormally high amount vs the average.#I've had more intrusive thoughts this week than in a long time. (I almost said ever but that was 2021 where they woke me up...)#It's mostly about my mistakes and ppl I've scared out of being in my life because of the actions based on my anxieties.#Like “if i could go back in time I could fix it”... girl you'd be going back in time like 100 times. At that point it's not fair lmao#I think I shouldn't talk about who I'm dating here anymore. Friends told me to stop seeing so many new people and I took that advice.#I'm exercising incredibly frequently; obsessively so. It really doesn't change much in my anxiety. I walk for like 3 hours a day.#My friend group is... difficult. One of us had a falling out with another and the dynamic is just so awkward for me now.#it just seems like everyone else has moved past it though but I still miss him. I don't think this can be reversed#we used to talk on my stream and play digimon cards n jackbox and d&d... But now they're only interested in d&d which I don't love#For god's sake I've published a game and moved to a nice new place. why aren't I happy hahahaha#work is no longer enjoyable since BoG was publised. our new project is in an iffy category but it's not my place to argue#I want to write music and animate but I have to do my hours for this new project before I can do anything like that...#I ended up siding with my current boss in that ethical dilemma I posted about and rn idk if that was the right decision.#Okay what can i talk about that's good? We moved to a nice place. I'm celebrating BoG's release with family tomorrow.#Graeme's playing Iconoclasts- one of my favourite games! He's also returning to work soon so it'll be less awkward to have a lady over#Thinking about good stuff going on just draws the mind to holidays I've had before. I treasure my memories!#Okay so I've complained for a long long time bc life doesn't feel great rn. But rest assured I already know this is 90% my fault hahaha#Oh another good thing that happened!!! My elestrals card was printed and ppl are really happy with it. I have a card in a real card game!!!#don't tell anyone but there's another one on the way. Anyway that will do for now. I'm sorry about my... self.
