Valerie Vale: So, Mr. Damian Wayne-Kent, what is the most important thing you've learned since entering the limelight as an adult?
Damian, staring right into the news camera: Never trust a reporter.
Jonathan Wayne-Kent, his husband who is a reporter: *nods is agreement*
Jonathan: ...
Jonathan: Wait, ??????

Danny joins the JLD but apparently there's an unspoken rule about teen heroes joining a teen team first to get used to saving the world in a "collaborative setting". As if he hasn't done that a million times already. Regardless, because of some bat interference, Danny gets shuffled onto the new Teen Titans team instead. Really? He couldn't have been put on the Young Justice?
#dp x dc#dc x dp#dpxdc#dcxdp#hyper prompts#once again danny is not happy and he's making it everyone's problem#how?#by influencing the teen titans to be little shits of course#when the jld is told to reel him in#they claim they can't#(they most definitely can as the only adults danny actually respects)#why?#because they're salty too of course

once you die the only choice being coming back full of rage or not coming back at all..... like.... maybe jace WAS a genuinely good dude, he chaperoned the rat grinders to the mountains of chaos because they weren't strong enough. and then when faced with the choice between dying himself, leaving them there all half-dead where no one might find them vs coming back wrong but being able to get them back to safety. like maybe he just knew it was his only way to protect them. maybe maybe maybe.
#because lucy and yolanda chose to go. chose to be trapped without the peace of the afterlife rather than be overcome with rage#but of course buddy in the last stand and the rest of the rat grinders are gonna choose to come back. powerful.#they're children. when faced with eternal imprisonment or life what are you gonna choose?#so the fact that jace also chose to come back is interesting#because he's an adult he's a magic user he must have known it wouldn't be good.#so either he's evil. or he was trying to look out for them.#fantasy high#d20#dimension 20#fhjy

Hi GT,
Forgive me if this is a stupid question, but I absolutely love the recs you've given (you've introduced me to tomione, and I love it!) and I was wondering if it's possible to give you some recs in return? There are some books and fics that definitely have dramione / got vibes, and I was wondering if I could share them with you!
So glad you've enjoyed them! Feel free to rec me anything you want. I've read most of the classic recs in terms of fic and adjacent content (Cruel Prince et al), but I'll try anything that's well-written. My tastes run towards weird and/or audaciously creative stuff, and I can forgive a lot of weaknesses in plot on the grounds of (1) ambition or (2) character work. My turnoffs are instalove, protagonists who can't fail, and most Y/A (I'm not a hater, I swear, I just need characters who can say "fuck" when their leg gets chopped off.)
I'm also a fan of weird and fucked-up dynamics.(Wuthering Heights was my favorite book for a while, and as a teenager I wrote an AU in which the book ends on a long sex scene where Heathcliff fucks Cathy's ghost and then immediately gets murdered by Catherine 2.) Obviously, I am very normal.
#greenteacup asks#my beef with Y/A is mostly expressed in a dissonance between tone and content#LOVE the content. dystopia fantasy horror sex and blood — awesome. but question. why are they all saying 'darn'?#like in the vampire diaries where they'll watch people get eaten and then 2 episodes later be like 'omg SCHOOL DANCE'#(EDIT: actually in fairness. on the vampire diaries. it was mostly just caroline that did that. unfair example my apologies)#& i distinguish this critique from a common bitch-and-moan complaint about tv shows being interested in 'girly' things#like relationships and social standing. that is not my complaint. that shit is delicious. i will chomp that shit for days#my issue is that when the stakes oscillate wildly from episode to episode and i can't tell what the main thing is#like sorry. a story with murder in it is always going to be about murder. you can't make it not about murder#unfortunately! many have tried.#and in general i have difficulty reading about teenagers bc—#(she says having written 600k words about them OKAY I KNOW. i contain multitudes.)#because they're either mini-adults (preferred flavor. jude in the cruel prince nails this) or like leetol babies to me#and unless it's something like the hunger games where the Leetol Baby thing is part of the story#i'm like. hang on. you're 12 what are you doing here#percy jackson was hard for me to re-read as an adult for this reason#which is why they're enjoyable for teenagers! because as a teenager you DO feel like an adult#and you like reading books that treat you like one! nothing wrong with that! healthy even!#only then you get past the teenage years (mashallah) and you get stuff like twilight#where of COURSE bella doesn't think twice about 117 year old man falling in love with her#because he looks like a rich mysterious 17-year-old hottie#but you reread it later and it's like um well. that. could be explored a little more maybe.#i'm not even necessarily opposed to it. candidly. still team edward. i just think the dynamic should be more fucked up and juicy.#which Y/A authors are often reluctant to do. like. COWARDS! face the nasty consequences of your narrative decisions!#anyhow. you didn't ask for any of this. please give me your recs lovely person you seem very nice.

can i requeeeessstt edgar rescuing scriabin from something |D
Day 6 - There are consequences out here
Bonus, of what he was doing to get stickers in his hair:
#My art#Requestober#Vargas#Scriabin#Edgar#I really wasn't sure what to do with this one at first! Or rather - I immediately had this and another idea but wasn't satisfied either way#I opted for this one because The Feelings and the bonus - additions oddly energizing!#I think it's that at first I was too strongly reminded of the one I made of Edgar cutting Scriabin's hair#Poses too similar! Feelings too similar! Not new or shiny or sparkly or anything!!!#But then the bonus came to mind and cute Scriabin is always nice <3#And then the pose expanded as well! Different! New challenges!#I've been trying to attempt more fullbodies this year :3 I don't make them that often! It's good practice all round!#Anatomy and consistency and more dynamic posing!!!! All good things :D#And also parts that I'm not as used to drawing - their feetsies turned out nice I think! Ah! Feels like a level up love when that happens#And then the Feelings of it all <3#I love Scriabin impulsively enjoying his body So Badly gah#Being extant in private and getting to fully revel in sensation with no filter no interruptions#Consequences now - new fallouts of his own actions - but the immediacy just Feels so much he can't help it#Edgar chides him of course - he's (had to) grown out of such childish impulses! Aren't you an adult!#Really he just worries neither of them would do well with either gone for long stickers least of all haha#And he likes being useful <3 They're so similar haha Scriabin loves to complain and Edgar loves to fret ♥#They balance each other well for what a handful they are#Scriabin especially of course hehe

Fic titled “Red Riding Hood” and it’s just gratuitous smut of Tim riding Jason. Maybe “Red Riding Hood” is the name of an NSFW social media account where they post photos/videos of exactly that and nobody is quite sure whether they are the real Red Robin and Red Hood or just some lookalike cosplayers. They get it on in a variety of adventurous ways and public locations (someone swears they saw them on the rooftop opposite their apartment and the analysis of the skyline in Red Riding Hood’s next sexcapade confirms it) but one thing stays constant: Red Robin rides Red Hood.
#JayTim#brought to you by me seeing ‘red riding hood’ as a team name for Red Robin and Red Hood#and my mind going straight to the gutter#sometimes they swap costumes so Jason gets to ride Tim without ruining the theme#they're not fooling anybody of course but there's an audience for hunk Red Robin and twink Red Hood too#Bruce has an aneurysm when he finds out about the account#he does not need to know this much about his sons' sex lives#but they’re adults so as long as they don’t compromise their identities he has to reluctantly stay out of it

Still haven't messaged my mom back. And I don't think I'm going to.
#you know how they say time makes you look on the past with nostalgia and that's why elderly people think so fondly of past decades? not me#there are moments I look back on with nostalgia sure but the overwhelming feeling of looking back on my childhood is just whatever I do#wherever I go whatever happens that will not be my life again. my memory is long I made a promise to myself I intend to keep I don't forget#support you having your grandkids if their mother is deemed unfit yes. take the older two myself if it comes to it yes. move provinces to#live with you to look after the five of them together where you would be my only adult connection and there's a language barrier and I have#no work history and I'd be between five hours and nine hours away from any other connection I have answer's an absolute fucking no. I've#seen how you are with my sister how you were with my brother. who do you think they call when they've had enough of you? do you not#remember most of the beatings I took was because I was standing between you and my brother? of course not because according to you you#never did beat me but if you think I'm not aware that would turn on me again the second I'm no longer distant and just visiting if you#think you'd find nothing to complain about because you've built up this golden child ideal of me in your head and want to forget how it was#when I was actually in your care you are very very wrong. I remember. I know that inconveniences a lot of people who want to forget#unpleasant things about themselves. me too to be honest I have memories I wish I could erase but I can't especially with regard to my#sister. I defended my brother but not her. not enough. and it's probably why I give so much to her now more than I should because it's#enabling but it is what it is I guess. I won't use my memories against anyone just for the sake of it but I absolutely fucking will#to protect myself or others. you want a redemption arc without admitting to anything? keep being patient and kind towards#your grandchildren even if you end up having to take them and if you can't do it for all five of them then accept that it's better for the#older two to be with me. that's it. those are your options: the older two are with me so you only have to look after the younger three or#you need to buckle down and learn from your past mistakes to look after the five of them and all that is *if it even comes to that* which#as things are it's not in danger of that! it was a regular fucking visit to monitor the situation that's all; they're not getting taken#literally every time she freaks out about something it's a 50/50 chance it's actually something or she's invented a completely#twisted version of events

Hi I'm procrastinating so I'm gonna talk about ships right now yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay
opinions on ships (Primarily focused around the agents I guess)
Agent 24: you know. You all already know.
Agent 12: I really like agent 12. I'll be honest, a lot of my opinions on the agent ships mainly comes from the dynamics between them more than anything. Which is why I like agent 12 a lot. I like the dynamic of "A putting up with B's shit" but in a light hearted way. You probably saw the agent 12 post I made like, yesterday. It's also the connecting over shared trauma thing.
Agent 32: I like this one as well. It's again, the dynamics in it. They connect by 4 helping 8 with adjusting to inkopolis, and then they just kind of...hit it off. it's the symbolism of the past healing. and inkling and octoling of a new generation coming together. it's nice
Agent 96: again, love this one, love the polycule, but personally I don't like it as much as 12, 32, and 24 because I feel like the themes I personally see in the ships individually aren't as prevalent when they're all at once. great ship, just not my cup of tea like the others.
Mari3: Really like this one also! mainly just cause...autism. I like how these 2 would connect after all the years of being agents. It's also developed in splat 3 with cap having Marie speak for them, and I just like that. it's fun. They trust Marie enough to communicate for them.
Calli3: I don't know my opinions on this, cause I have seen literally nothing about it. It sounds cute, very cheerful x stoic grump is a fun dynamic. (also another version of what I see a12 as)
uuuuh here are some idol ships:
Mariver: Fun...I don't have that many thoughts on it. it's silly, I like it.
Calfry: also fun. again, not many thoughts on it lol.
Shivry...fryver? idk: I like it! confident dumbass x ACTUALLY confident dumbass. I like the idea that they're just being all dumb and flirty and Big Man is just like "...this again..."
Poly-cut: I like it too, but personally I shift around between this and shivrye and also just having them be friends. I like them just being 3 dumbasses that share 3 braincells, and big man has those 3 most of the time. Good ship though
Pearlina: LESBIANS LETS GOOOOOOOOO
uuuuuh idk. I'm going back to procrastinating
#I did not talk about m4rie because......yeah. I don't wanna invite anything OCD triggering with a dumb little post like this#I am a fan of it though (ADULT 4 OF COURSE AND WHEN THEY'RE NO LONGER BOSS AND EMPLOYEE)#but yeah#don't wann trigger my OCD today thank you very much :)#I didn't talk about a lot of these cuz again. I'm procrastinating#space text

*said with increasing distress, eyes blodshot and an empty mug in hand* you guys remember writing right????? you guys remember posting fic and publishing things and talking to editors about potential projects right???? you guys remember being creative in your creative jobs and not just rereading old work and having a panic attack over the time wasted over curating hyperspecific character playlists that you get mad about five minutes later right????? i'm not insane right????? creative block is normal even if it lasts for months right???? i haven't written a fic in YEARS but it's ok i'm ok i have to finish TWO original pieces for next week that I haven't even started but it'll probably be fineeeee I'm totally not being a complete and raving lunatic about it it's probably gonna be okay <3 yay <3
#AND I STILL HAVEN'T APPLIED FOR MY NEW SHOW IN THEATRES ?1!!!!???? AJAAGAGAHAHAHFGH#BABYGIRL I CAN BE DRY IN WAYS YOU CAN'T EVEN IMAGINE FOR PROJECTS THAT ARE ALREADY EVEN PLANNED OUT#the words just won't come out idk#ok so i attended one of the most prestigious universities in the country re: my field of expertise and carefully improved in my craft#just to go into a creative field and be an unemployed fuckhead who won't even write#i mean I am ALSO an academic that is very much true as well. but you don't really earn money from that either now do you#especially not in humanities#anyway. i need to go wash some dishes#it'll be fine probably i just need to lock tf in#it sucks being the one in the relationship that has no job no money no prospects and is already a burden to their parents#like literally they're being very nasty about it and like i know they care about me and stuff but they are very much. not supportive#it doesn't mean they're openly hating on it tbh i think they've given up on trying to disagree with my life choices and atp they just judge#when i'm not there. but evidently i find out anyway because of course i do#tbh won't complain about the lack of open support though like it's cool you disapprove of my relationship and my work and my life overall#ok rant over i'm big now. i'm an adult#ACTUALLY should i write a paper on disco elysium maybe that'd cheer me up. DON'T ask me how de is cheerful it isn't#my brain just works in mysterious ways#also gonna write an essay on my relationship with god. and get it published. probably gonna quote dostoievski a couple times as well. maybe#who give a fuck anymore man people these days can write ANYTHING. i love being alive in a world where printing is a thing. also computers#personal

processed some trauma i think
#i did a lot of things very wrong when i was a teenager but also i was a teenager and everything was difficult#i feel bad for how i ended some of my friendships over the years bc it was often like.#they were clearly struggling. something was deeply wrong with all of my friends home lives. deadly serious things. molestation abuse etc#but when i was 14-16 that was extremely difficult for me to contextualize. i knew it was bad of course i wasnt stupid#it was more just. i didnt have the life experience to know just How Much it affected a person.#that type of shit can obliterate healthy functioning adults. the type of behavior it invokes in teens can be fucking UNPARALLELED#it affects your entire brain and body. i dont think theres a single part of you thats left completely undamaged.#in retrospect i now recognize that there was more i could've done. i could've talked to my parents more and i really dont know why I didnt.#i think I just felt like nothing could be done?#and there probably wasnt much that could be done#but idk. it could've helped me process it which could've helped them process it.#and as important as i think compassion is. even towards people who can be viscerally unpleasant. i was a kid. not a social worker#it was the responsibility of the adults around us to make it better. and they either failed or made it worse.#it's just awful to think back on it and realize that we were all in this shit together. but the trauma ripped us apart anyway.#i really sincerely hope everyone from those dA chatroom days are doing better now. i hope they're safe. i hope they're not dead.#it's always going to bother me a little bit that i have no way of knowing what happened to any of them.

"...Huh. I never actually thought about it before but Patchouli and I are... kinda close in age..."
#in character#dash commentary#i checked the wiki and#Patchy is about 100 years old#my Chen is 64#soon to be 65#that's pretty close in youkai terms#of course since they're different sorts of youkai#Patchouli is basically an adult while Chen is still#pre-teen/early teen#there was also about a year where Chen was just a regular cat but Chen doesn't count that as part of her age#she considers her birthday to be when she became a youkai

the utter lack of affection or care amongst my extended family is so bleak and miserable
#like I don't get on or chat with fucking any of my english cousins. the few I did#get on well with disappeared from my life out of nowhere because of family drama#the ones left are older than me and they never cared about me lol#and they're all boys which I don't think helped things when we were younger#but that shouldn't matter. I get on with my spanish male cousin fine ! he's lovely!#but the people I'm with every winter and birthday etc are just completely cold and detached#I have no real relationship with any of my uncles or aunts or cousins#it's not like there's even one I can go and talk to while everyone else is ignoring me lol#I've got my brother and that's it and of course he's just a little kid#he's either trying to get attention from the adults or trying to get me to play with him#which is fine. but. ugh.#it's just like I should've had this big network of people who cared about me statistically I should've had at least one family#member who I had some kind of unique or close bond with and I never did I never got it#I grew up with two sisters and I never got it. I think about what it could be like with sisters who gave a shit about me all the time#If I had someone to talk to besides my parents or about my parents it would be such a weight off my back#and all I've got it my brother and he's just too young for me to put any of my life on his shoulders#my biggest fear is that when he hits puberty he'll begin to think I'm embarrassing and stupid and not like me anymore#and then I'll really have nothing

when heathcliff begs cathy's ghost to come back in 😭
#I love him...I know he did a lot of horrible things to children but um. he's a fully complex antihero#who I honesty feel fine about liking as a character. like I'm glad they're free of him#and I wish he hadn't done all those things obviously#but he didn't leave bc he didn't love cathy. he left bc she said mareying him would degrade her#and his self-worth had been destroyed so utterly by the peers and adults around him#pride is a huge aspect of heathcliff (and hareton's) behavior#like heathcliff resents being mistreated! of course he's going to refuse to play their game! and stay in the barn!#and of course hareton reacts angrily when he's mocked for trying and failing. and of course he's unwilling to turn and make nice immediately#it all just makes perfect sense. they're really good characters. and I love that about them I really do#I love both catherines too ahh I wanna make that clear I really do. cathy I is a legend and cathy II is a legit heroine#but I really love heathcliff too!! I doo#cor reads

one of my favorite parts of strategy games like chess and advance wars is that feeling when you haven't quite won yet but the enemy has no real options so it feels like you're just sloowly wrapping around them like a snake. when all your enemy has is their king and you've managed to turn 3 of your pawns into queens, and all you've gotta do is get in juust the right position, and in the meantime all they can do is squirm. god, that's such a wonderful feeling. nothing quite like it
#incidentally i don't like it when versions of chess insist on enforcing a stalemate rule#honestly to a certain extent i feel like if your enemy has nothing but a king and you've got more than one queen that should just be an#automatic win. like exodia except instead of the individual pieces being useless they're all the most powerful monster card in the game#i think the favorite card i had as a kid was my five headed dragon. thought that shit was so cool. 5000 in both attack and defense???#it seemed unbeatable to my little kid brain. also it was a dragon. of course i loved it#i never learned how to Actually play yugioh of course. just what rules my stupid kid reading comprehension could understand#im pretty sure a monster has to be in play for you to be able to sacrifice it. i didn't know that so i filled my deck with nothing but#really strong monsters and i'd just sacrifice some directly from my hand to summon what i wanted#i stole a lot of yugioh cards as a kid from target. i'm comfortable saying this online because the statute of limitations has absolutely ru#out by now. i looked it up.#i remember for the first time i stole a box set that had exodia. i remember on my way home so i could open it... i genuinely felt like ther#was something mystical in that box. something ancient. there was something really special about that to my kid brain#i'd later steal quite a few more because i got the bright idea to fill a deck with nothing but exodia cards. i figured i'd always have a#first draw win. took me until actually trying to play it that i realized i'd often just get 5 left arms which obviously wouldn't work#so i took that deck and added some actual monsters to “hold me off”. it was pretty much just a normal deck with too much space taken up by#essentially useless cards. i don't think i ever actually won by drawing exodia naturally. what a shame#side note but i still get a bit anxious every time i go to that target. i haven't in years and i can basically guarantee they wouldn't#recognize Grown Ass Adult me as “that kid who stole a lot of yugioh cards”. it's been almost a decade if memory serves#i've grown a lot since then. both physically and metaphorically#i digress

god why did it have to be rick and morty. why can't i go back to fixating on literally anything else
#random thoughts#guess what motherfuckers it's blue man time#so im looking through the rick sanchez x original character tag on ao3 and judging people's writing#one of the most popular tropes seems to be rick x summer's classmate and like. that's so limiting#you're limiting yourself to the singular younger woman x older man dynamic#either make the oc an alien or have summer be taking a college course at the local community college for credits#do you KNOW how many interesting characters you meet in community college#literally just have summer have to do a group project with someone in their forties!!!#i think the whole 'you're old enough to be my dad' thing is MUCH funnier when both characters involved are like. past middle aged#let rick get some age appropriate pussy!!!#plus i like summer. stop using her as a plot device to get grandpa dick#god i WOULD love to see summer interact with a normal adult. get her some healthy role models#someone who she wouldn't respect initially like a housewife#god a grandma? someone rick's age#they butt heads but start to bond because of the grandma's secret love for science fiction#it's a college-level english comp class and they're arguing over what counts as real literature?#idk im tired gnight
