Dead Language Expert
Danny never thought that he could "major" in languages, and get a job as a translator. But apparently knowing all the dead languages by default and being able to time travel with the help of your ghost tutor was pretty useful outside of Amity.
It happened purely by chance, he was walking through a museum and started laughing because of a mistake in one of the sentences that completely changed the meaning of the text. The museum manager, of course, did not believe him, since many people had said that the piece was "impossible to translate". But he study it anyway.
Days later they were looking for him to translate all the things from that time. And he just carried on with it, in many more civilizations. In some cases he even asked for a few trips to the past to Clockwork to verify.
It got to a point where the wizards, heroes and villains over the world knew him as "the translator of dead languages" and some of them even tried to kidnap him to perform a summoning ritual. Danny rolled his eyes and easily freed himself, but the League assigned him an "escort" anyway.
Exasperated, the halfa escaped from his escorts and continued his work as normal. Superman almost fell out of his chair at the Watchtower meeting when he was informed that the boy had translated the language of Krypton and other missing planets. Besides having managed to lose both the Flash and Green Latern, what the fuck?
#dpxdc#Danny know all dead languages by default#is part of being a ghost#or part of being him#he's not sure#The museum manager asked him to translate and he accepted#he didn't expect the payment but it was good#so he ended working in translating#it was easy and he could time travel if he had any doubt#dp x dc#dc x dp#Justice League is worried about his knowledge#but he didn't do anything wrong#Danny is considering teaching at a university for fun#People think Danny is human and he didn't correct them#He also asked Clockwork for help so no one would notice his status as a halfa#Danny doesn't like being kidnapped but at this point in his life it's nothing more than a nuisance#while he could fight the summoning he really doesn't want to

Labor, on its own, has no inherent value. The willingness or ability to labor does not translate to virtue. It can confer financial value, since everyone should be compensated for their labor, but it absolutely does not have inherent moral value.
Disabled people are not obligated to perform for you. They are not required, morally, to break themselves in order to earn some sort of personal value and prove their "worth" to society. They do not need to exhaust every possible means of survival to warrant aid, or spend the entirety of their existence pursuing the same amount of production as others even though it takes everything they have and leaves no room for anything else. They are not obligated to push their limits.
If that pisses you off because YOU have to work to the limit, or beyond, your problem is that you are not being paid enough or you are being asked to do the work of more than one person. Not that disabled people get help for "nothing".
You deserve better, too, you lovable dingus! Every single thing that benefits disabled people will benefit you and the ones you love, either immediately, or eventually. All of it!
#when i go into a care home my disability payments stop going to me and go to the care home except for the $50/month they will let me have#that's right!#so if you're temporarily abled maybe consider that a run of bad luck is all that separates you/your loved ones from this potential future!#you're fucked if you can't labor so it's time you accept that it isn't a virtue and people who can't still deserve support because buddy#i have news for you about human minds and bodies and their relationships to accidents and illnesses and time#and pal you aren't going to like it#get uncomfortable and get to work pushing for unions that might secure you benefits#and push for things that benefit adults who have never been able to work because that's just plain the right thing to do#like UBI and an end to income caps and savings limits for disabled people#and also extremely extremely low or no taxes for the self-employed#and universal health care#and biger SSI payments#stop seeing the value of your fellow human through the lens of exploitation#stop being the eyes of capitalism and be the hands that pull others up

Prompt 103
Geralt keeps waking up miraculously healed from contracts. Witcher healing is good, yes, but not that good. And it doesn't work if he goes into towns. He's undoubtedly weary of the phenomenon, but he can't exactly do anything about it at the moment. One night, after a hunt was significantly easier than expected, he's hopped up on too many potions, and the world has blurred and everything is TOO MUCH. Except for the soft yellow light in the distance, moving closer to him. As it gets closer, so too do the soft twinkling sounds. The ball of light hums and sings to him, even as he can barely focus on it's presence. He feels warmth in his wretched shaking hands and spares a second to glance at them, watching in shaken awe as a wound heals before his eyes. Ever since the night where he saw the glowing ball, he begins looking for signs of someone or something following him. He's healed and sung to, but what could the creature actually want from him? Why bother with it all? So one night, when he's bandaged up a scratch wound on thigh, he pretends to sleep. He waits, waits, waits, until finally he hears the twinkling chimes. He springs up and forward, snatching it out of the air, and looking at what he's caught, ready to demand answers, only to see a very startled little winged man staring at him. A fairy? "Why do you heal me?" "Because I like you, obviously!" "You don't know me." "Oh, but I do! I've been watching you for a few months now!" "....Hmm." "You're my muse! I've written songs about your adventures, would you like to hear?!"

Marina Dyachenko and Sergey Dyachenko, Vita Nostra (tr. Julia Meitov Hersey) • Mircea Suciu, Camouflage (2) • Agostino Arrivabene, Immutatio • Matthias Claudius, "Der Tod und Das Mädchen" • Henry Fuseli, The Nightmare • Dragan Bibin, Pull (edited) • Maria Kreyn, Angel's Back • Franz Wimmer, Death and the Maiden • Mel Chin, Bat and Dove • Ana Sanchez, Death and the Maiden
#vita nostra#death and the maiden#the gothic imagination#some dread chord#compilations#web weaving#marina dyachenko#sergey dyachenko#henry fuseli#dragan bibin#franz wimmer#myedit#lit tag#litedit#bookedit#quotes one compiles while listening to the lexa lexie edit of house of metal 🎶#VN's themes of fear and metamorphosis got me thinking#beyond the fourth wall breaking+gnosticism aspects‚ it's ultimately a coming of age story right (or coming of Self if we're being literal)#and i would argue the figure of death / metamorphosis (oftentimes one and the same) is a key element in such a narrative#we see the terror turn into begrudging acceptance of the metamorphosis#and sasha does accept it‚ to a degree. to the degree that kostya remarks on how alike she and farit have become#but the story does not end at her acceptance. it ends with her reaching beyond it (esp with the final lines of the book):#“The light shines in the darkness and the darkness has not overcome it. [...] Do not be afraid.”#the idea that 'yes you are the final law of this world but not of them all. i can create another one'#also some of the other elements to consider wrt the figure of death concept:#the coins necessary for admittance to the university (reminiscent of those given to the dead as a payment for the ferryman)#+ the instances farit's appearance is likened to an illuminated skull (one of the most harrowing being the last temptation offer to sasha)#+ the students almost being considered dead to the outside world once they cross the threshold of the town#idk it's just a really interesting aspect for me#realizing i probably went a little overboard with all the quotes. well. just know that i had to hold myself back from adding even more 👩🏻💻

Fuck wcc this year, we don't need it with this kind of "teamwork".
16wdc and 17wcc in 2025 sounds much better, Charles.
i hate that i have to mention Jules name in this shitty context but just think charles getting 17 wcc (JB17) and 16 wdc (CL16) exactly 10 years after Jules death.

not quite the same as health insurance but like. dealing with dental insurance at work nearly every day and then hearing all these stories about health insurance on social media puts me in a constant state of "this is fucking insane"
#khytal.ks#hate to admit that it's more exhausting than it seems#well. I guess if anyone's dealt with insurance in any way before it's understandable#which is probably a lot of us at this point#(of those who live here)#but like as I mentioned a few weeks ago or whatever I'm only processing the payments#I don't even talk to the reps directly and they still piss me off every day#it's probably really really bad for my brain but#at least I'm mad at something that's universally hated here#(not. actually universal bc it's just This Fucking Country but ykwim)

Headcanon : Zorian looks like Watanuki to me.
Yeah that's all I have to say. I was watching XXXholic and went. Zorian vibes. It helps that the Clamp universe has a similar vibe to their magic. They use alot of tech in Tsubasa chronicals.
I feel like their actual personalities are nothing alike, just the energy they give off. Watanuki and Zorian don't have the same lifestyles at all, not even the same skills. Sharoran actually has more applicable skills and hobbies to Zorian. I just think he has the right look.
#mother of learning#zorian kazinski#watanuki kimihiro#xxxholic#My cross over loving self is now imagine Zorian in the Clamp universe.#Oh imagine Zorian training under Yuuko or Clow Reid.#What would Zorians payment be? Imagine it's like Fai and he has to give up mind magic.#Sad idea Zach and Zorians payment is their soul bond and marker.

My spouse and I never go on any "pre-planned dates" because something ALWAYS happens that makes it where we have to cancel. For example, today, we had a whole day planned. Woke up this morning to a busted water heater, water going everywhere. That's fine, it's fine, we'll turn it off. We'll get it taken care of. Get in my car, and it's just vibin, and when I say vibin, it's vibrating at an unnatural ability.
#personal rambling#soooooo movie night at home?#listen I should just get the car payment#but AT THIS POINT its the principle of the thing#or im just stubborn#also this isnt really a vent#everything will be ok and taken care of fairly quickly#its just really funny to me#we cant ever hint about spending time together outside of our house#the universe does not want that#you weirdos STAY HOME

who runs .tv where did this come from I wonder….dropout is on that service, watcher hoped to be on that service, now the try guys are launching their platform. I wonder what company owns the servers…I mean the UI looks similar between 2nd try and :Dropout
what a strange moment in media history we’re living through….production companies too big for YouTube and not large enough for “mainstream” that are beginning to go their own ways, who knows how companies like this will eventually effect the media giants but ooou I’m excited to find out
#I can’t afford to add another monthly payment rn#but I mean. do I use prime……#no I should keep it for the other reasons not the tv show reasons. groceries I guess#2nd try#dropout#watcher#these people are going to be used in university lectures on the changing history of media consumption#youtube#I for one am excited but also god when will it end#like this is cool and they earned the ability to transition like this unlike other teams that attempted (watcher)

I'm going back to university this September and I'm really worried about living by myself again with Tourette's.
It's only been just over a year since I last lived independently, but since then I've had my disability benefit taken away from me (inaccessible forms, no support filling in the forms, and misunderstanding the forms due to autism and dyslexia). It's a new university, so I won't know anybody, and I find asking for help very difficult, even if my tics are dangerous.
I'd like to get there, be myself, tell everyone about it and how they can help me, but I've had my tics laughed at, shushed, and judged by so many people so many times that I expect people to not understand. I won't have the money to order food when my tics are too much to cook, I won't have the money to buy the CBD I rely on to reduce the severity of my tics.
Living independently is super scary with a disability. It's stressful not knowing if people will understand or be helpful.

you know someday i'm gonna feel so good when i have my student loans paid off
that ain't gonna be soon, trust me, but i think about it
#i've been saving so much for it that i paid off over like $2k in the last 2 or 3 months#it's just thinking about how the amount of interest goes off that drives me literally crazy#and my monthly amount i owe is like just under $120#which to some people as a regular bill is more manageable than others. but as i have an irregular income#as a substitute teacher it's something that gives me a LOT of stress.#which is another reason i've been overpaying. in case something happens/i can't get a lot of work#it defers the next due date.#that way it's not urgent but yet i still *feel* it all the time#debt is a crazy kind of thing#and to think that my loans are from COMMUNITY college. two years. publicly owned#when i start taking classes again soon. i currently have enough saved that if i take like ONE class#i can pay out of pocket. and i think im only gonna take one class to start anyway#which will also help with the deferred payments#see i just fucking hate having to think practically about money like this#tales from diana#idk how ppl leave high school and go straight to live in a dorm room at a private university for four straight years#and rack up tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt.#first of all that lifestyle was not accessible for me to begin with. even when paying it was such an abstract put-it-off thought#as it is for so many 18-year-olds who are told not to worry about where they apply.#but i had under $12k to repay when the student loan debt was unfrozen last fall#and it's been weighing on me soooo heavily since then. i think about it every damn day#it's like the money i make isn't even mine. it goes straight to mohela and food#keep in mind i also live w my parents & am on their health insurance so someday there'll be moooore bills!!!!

I wanna like. gpose eyrie and zero
#I’m brainrotting them at the moment#obssessed w their dynamic of zero poking and proding at eyrie to understand these concepts she’s so foreign to#trust and care and love to a degree. how eyrie struggles to understand that as someone who lives and breathes this#all of that after everything in endwalker too#like meteion and hermes and zenos and dying at the edge of the universe#idk I’m just like. puzzling over the parallels of who they are#eyrie’s selfless defense of zero in garlemald#her own selfless defense in lapis manalis when they have a seizure mid fight with cazznago#it was payment but it was more than that. a selfless act out of care for them#the way zero ends up becoming a shield and sword user—tools used to defend and to fight#how that resonates with eyrie too#I’m always lowkey bonkers about eyrie and zero#oc: eyrie kisne#endwalker spoilers

Help Dogs pay for a new mattress (please lmao)
Before I become death by (fiberglass) a thousand papercuts.
Anyway pls to donate or commission me at my Kofi below.
#It shouldn't be legal to put hazardous materials in a bed#Ghostbed should give me a full refund tbh#Death by a million papercuts in more ways than one christ the past few years have been fuckin brutal#What with paying for my mom's cataract surgery a 2 year streak of near monthly veterinary expenses inflation the mold in my closet moving#I really did not need this right now#I remember the guy at the optometrists taking my payment applauding my generosity saying it would be paid back and then some by the universe#I haven't talked about a lot of what I've paid because I have no intention of boasting about 'generosity'#I wasn't doing it to be 'generous' I was doing it because it needed to be done#But damn if I don't wish that even a little bit of what that guy said would come my way would happen

I think I made a very bad mistake
#yes I'm talking about college#tonight I realized I no longer want to go there#but I've already got a schedule and put down the payment for the dorm and like#my whole family knows I'm going there this fall#my sister even drove me an hour up there and attended the longass tour day with me#I can't go back now no matter how much I want to#I should've just found a university with an online psych degree#so I can stay at home with my cats where I can be alone and at peace#when the worst of my anxiety comes and goes#I'm going to fucking die there#ofc I'm getting the urge to cut again#vent#tw self harm
