Prompt 331
Demon twins? Demon twins.
Damian? Good at the assassin side of things, at least for a four year old, but Danyal? He’s okay, but he’s far better at things like poisons and bookkeeping. Which is honestly? Okay. They’re the League of Shadows, and sure a majority of the members are assassins, but it’s definitely not all there are. So? Danyal starts getting medical training.
Not to say that either of the boys don’t know their fair share of violence and healing- it’s just better to let them play to their strengths. One doesn’t keep a league over centuries if they just have one type of warrior, or even just warriors. A variety is needed.
So one gets trained more towards the business side of things. Damian may be better at wielding the weapons and killing- even if neither have had their first kill quite yet- but Danyal shows far more proficiency at acting, at masking who he is and gathering information.
Damian, when he’s first sent to their Father, doesn’t mention his twin. Not because he’s jealous or hates him or anything like that. You just don’t talk about someone in an undercover mission in the League, and it’s not something he realizes isn’t a rule everywhere.
Needless to say, the Bats have more than a mild freakout the first time Damian mentions a twin who will be coming to the manor now that his mission is over.
#DCxDP#DPxDC#Prompts#Demon Twins#Danny was undercover in Amity not for the ectoplasm but for the weapons the Fentons made#Mostly in concern about what it could do to the environment & the earth#The League of Assassins are the most violent ‘I Speak For The Trees’ not-so-hippie group ever#Why yes Danny & Damian have talked but it’s more like sending messages of “Are you alright” “Yes are you” “Yes”#Danny is better at masking than Damian & better at getting information that isn’t through torture#Yes he chooses to be an annoying punny lil shit on purpose for his own amusement#Danny: Brother I have acquired a ghost dog- we must shut down the company who put down the puppy#Sam & Tucker: Dude I think you were in a cult#Danny: Agree to disagree to two people who have in fact started cults themselves#Yes he's been undercover for a couple years & yes he uses the fact he knows medical care to get further information#People don't like silence and will chatter while you bandage their ecto burns#Danny sends Dani to the League instead of around the world#Talia is delighted to have a daughter#Vlad does not live long after that & becomes a full ghost

Sight of a Star - Blue-ish Star Ryōshū and Don Quixote
#HERES HOW BLUE-ISH STAR BELIEVERS CAN STILL WIN I PROMISE#Rendering sucks but I do like how these look very much. I hate drawing armour. big fan of dramatic shadows however.#but! as for justifications:#B-iS is an abno regarding what one so desperately wants but cannot have - possibly connecting to Blue Star and the paradise-like place-#people wish to reach by throwing themselves into it. though what is offered by B-iS is a much less refined yet as tantalising#given the text of 'The irresistible allure is almost tearing you apart' and the less refined bit being implied by both design#[jagged edges of the actual blue shape and legs like dolls - both unlike BS' much rounder and more naturalistic design]#in short it's the manifestation of impossible dreams - for Don this is her quest for a just knighthood in the City of all places#and for Ryōshū [though idk her source] it is her final work of art - the Hell Screen#when approached one's body is 'pushed away' as if a manifestation of how it is unachievable. at least it is for them#'To be truly blue the one with the true blue must be left alone in one’s blueness.'#is what I interpret as: 'to truly dream the dreamer must be left to one's fantasies'#dreams by nature do not intersect well with reality. all their flaws will be shown and they will crack under the pressure of the real world#it is why the dream pushes them away. to preserve itself. also probably has something to do with how DQ also has void dream#and this abno gives pride boosts in its event. and I personally see pride as a sort of 'self assurance' or 'self above others' so to speak#as to chase ones dreams one must think themselves the exception. as the one that can persevere over the City#plus the HP damage and the various juxtapositions in the 'forward' option may be in reference to how dreams and reality don't mix.#harming those who chase them. though all the same the 'backwards' option shows that simply tossing them aside shall hurt in its own way#to think oneself 'impure' enough to give up on chasing it is all the same resignation on your uniqueness#as for the gift: the name is possibly to do with how lower stars seem easier to reach. and the effect of damage at minus SP....#going insane dream chasing?#but to take ones leave allows for it to be left behind without any further effects. you did not look at your dreams. acknowledge them at al#but are you better off like that? not dreaming? forgetting that brilliantly unfinished star?#but anyways I hope you liked my rambles. also this abno and everything related to Blue Star is so tastefully C flavoured that I love them#and fun fact! when I was first generally mapping sinners to unfightable/EGOless abnos I entirely forgot Ryōshū somehow. which led to this.#they don't have weapons they just kick real hard and it works well enough#limbus company#ryōshū lcb#don quixote lcb#🎠🚬

Very small piece overshadowed by everything else but I full almost cried at Elgin's line here. Service to others and service to a cause you believe in as service to yourself. Not working for anyone else but dedicating yourself to your work and your community because you want to, because it matters to you. So fucking true. Anyway totally unrelated hc that definitely isn't me projecting I think Elgin's butch
[Image ID: A screenshot of The Silt Verses transcript. It reads
"PAIGE stares at her. She's genuinely touched.
PAIGE: Do you do anything for yourself, Elgin?
ELGIN: (Almost surprised by the question) All of this has been for me. You know that Paige, don't you?"
End ID]
#like. my caption isnt even exactly accurate#bc i genuinely cannot express the emotion behind this line but i fucking Get It and i feel so seen by it. idek why#i think... its a total subversion. theres this idea that doing things for other people must always be a burden#but often it isnt!! often it's a joy!!#and with elgin and paige like their goals are the same#its also a subversion of the typical prophet & follower or god & follower dynamic show over and over in tsv#the expectation is that followers r just doing things for their prophet or god or company or leader#but the wound tree isnt like that. they aren't serving paige -- theyre serving themselves. and each other. fighting together#elgin isnt making a sacrifice shes giving a gift!!!#and as always this mirrors real life dynamics and social movements#gd whats that quote? something like 'i want you to fight for me because your liberation is bound up with my own'#tsv#the silt verses#tags became longer than the actual post whoops#tsv spoilers

#saroart#dead cells#the beheaded#the collector#they just wanted a nice bow#the collector can do a lot of stuff but i don't think he's good at bows#i was drawing a lot of antagonistic beheaded/collector content so i wanted to do some more cute junk#okay a lot is an exaggeration. still#need some guys being buds content sometimes#weird monster guys doing domestic shit is my favorite genre#i got a bonus at holiday time and im tempted to buy a tablet i can use portably#esp because holy fuck i don't know how to draw anymore#but also i just spent stupid money on tickets to live podcasts so i probably shouldn't#unrelated im very upset today because fucking UPS didn't ring my goddamn doorbell and so “”missed me“” and couldnt deliver my specialty meds#why must i get my meds through ups#because the us is a hellscape and i am beholden to my health insurance company#ups who has literally never managed to get a package to this apartment#tbh im stressed as fuck about having to go through this every goddamn month

i can’t believe it’s only the start of the week and we have to deal with this. it reminds me of the roseonly x peace elite thing or the mendale incident. i shouldn’t even be surprised and that’s sad in itself, that it is considered normal for fans to control things like this. so my previous post was about the 10:05 kadian for Cotti’s post and all that. people got angry, and i know both sides hate each other and wouldn’t want any association. the other camp will say, he/company is using xx’s popularity etc. so the posts got deleted and comments on certain ones are hidden.
i sort of get the “anger” and the feeling of getting betrayed from wyb fans because when wyb was announced for Cotti, they gave all out support. it even went on HS and really made a difference from the brand. but we can’t confirm it’s all so/os who brought in the money, but they definitely put the word out and made a trending topic that attracted people’s attention. so they expect the brand to be fully in their side. collabs like this tho, most likely have nothing to do with the cp or whatever. these are two independent companies. do i think cotti could have handled it better by not using 10:05? definitely. was it unprofessional? kind of.
as much as i cpn, i would rather have the boys not deal with any problems and boycott drama ( which their solos love to do btw, they love to flex that they can easily boycott a brand unless they give them what they think they deserve). i guess they didn’t know just how sensitive solo fans ( not just wyb or xz solo fans— this is in general ) can be. now they do. i hope fans don’t boycott the brand, but i’m seeing some of them posting photos of a different coffee chain. lol. just another day in the toxic c-ent fandom circle. 💀💀💀
#yizhan#bjyx#there is no science here i’m just clowning like i always do#IF THIS DOESN’T MAKE SENSE TO YOU AND WHY FANS WOULD DO THIS AND WHY COMPANIES MUST FOLD AND DELETE THINGS — YOU ARE RIGHT#IT DOESN’T MAKE SENSE#BUT WE LIVE IN THIS TOXIC FANDOM ENVIRONMENT SO ITS CONSIDERED NORMAL

~a vampire at dawn~
excuse the quick sketch, for this post is less about the art and more about the idea behind it... i have this headcanon from when geralt's company was trekking with the beekeepers through the wilderness:
although they were initially very grateful to have three meals a day prepared for them, they quickly got sick of having honeyed porridge served for all three of them. "Everything was sticky from the honey, even the young women." milva began to get nauseous at mealtimes, and cahir, usually ravenous at mealtimes as befits a strapping young lad such as he, even turned down a few bowls.
regis, however, was quite happy with it.
because, as is mentioned later in the book, about saovine traditions: "The spirits of the dead (...) should be given honey and groats, all sprinkled with vodka…" i imagine some confusing night where he went into a villager's hut to drink blood, but, it was around saovine, so they were even expecting someone like him to arrive and to even be looking for such a thing. prepared for such a situation, they handed him some kasza with honey. he didn't really know what to do with it, but they instructed him on how to eat... it was surprisingly pretty good, so he started pulling this on all the other villages, like hey i;m "undead" (whatever that means) do you have any "porridge" with "honey." yeah also put a little vodka on it while you're at it.
so honeyed groats turned out to be the first human food he ate, and over time, became like a comfort food to him. now he has it without the vodka though
#i also have just been thinking of like. the company travelling together is almost downright domestic#except for the part where they don't have a house lol#you know what i mean. that they 'sleep under the same blanket at night'#they all sleep and wake at the same time and have to get dressed in the morning#we see their night routine more but they must also have morning routine#and i know geralt wakes everyone up early to cover more miles lol#this is probably why they enjoyed beauclair so much because their breakfast on the road was always hasty#but yeah like... i mean they don't have pajamas i'm assuming but it's like in a little sacrifice when dandelion takes off his jerkin and ha#like ... i don't know maybe because only child syndrome and i did not do sleepovers except once or twice#but you're just going to coordinate your sleep routines and like get undressed and dressed and stuff together#and then on top of that from the perspective of 'hey remember one of your company members is a vampire'#regis flipped his entire circadian rhythm upside down to live amongst humans#regis is the friend in the group chat who is in the opposite timezone#and also. to me it is just funny and weird to think of a vampire waking up and eating breakfast like a human#i mean i know it's regis so it's not surprising. it's just a somehow interesting mental image#like so you're telling me he doesn't just manifest like that in dark cloak and all. he's got to tie his shirt up and pull his boots on#i blame the discussion of beach episode hanza some weeks prior. the regis in a tanktop image is haunting me. in a good way#me: 'well it's just like ive never seen him wear a tanktop' ... 'i guess ive never seen him bc he's a fictional character but'#'ive never seen your arms above your elbows before and it's kind of weirding me out'#it's weird i'm curious like a child about it. maybe i have mental problems that come from american media sexualizing any nudity#my art#c: regis#emiel regis

nooooo not your first two reasons for staying in the city you are legally trapped in instead of absconding forever with billions of dollars worth of stolen art being the married couple who have slowly but surely absorbed you into their relationship and welcomed you into their life. a guy who has never had a place he wasn't obligated to leave feeling at first trapped by his circumstances but then coming to enjoy the idea of a permanent home and unwilling to be pressured away from it . surely no further events will transpire that might cause him to lose faith in this ideal and, feeling it necessary, strike out once again into the lonely world as a traveling thief with no port of call and no living name
#ive read the wiki!!!!! im not cool right now im not cool at all#can we PLEASE get this guy some stability and a chance at a future untethered to either institutions or sudden flight . can we please#white collar#dont let all the fun capers fool you this show is in many ways actually sort of a tragedy#people can change but the world and society might not. and in the end even though you would LIKE to have others. and they would like#to have you. the only thing you can fully expect to have at all times is yourself#therefore it is imperative that you get comfortable with your own company: someday it may be all you have left#home safety and family are wonderful things. sometimes they have chains on.#the freedom to go where you wish and do what you want without any strings at all is also a wonderful thing. sometimes it has no parachute#whats that thing jones says in as you were about all choices being sacrifice?#and neal's like whoa whoa slow down WHY. why CANT we have it all#and it's like well because any time you make a choice. ANY time. you must set aside one thing you want. for another thing you want more#every time you choose you have to decide which thing is the one you want more. oftentimes you will choose wrong#but not realize it until it is too late to take the choice back#this will continue as long as you live#good luck

One of the saddest things I've come to realize about RWBY is that its characters are defined more by what they aren't than what they are
#rwde#weiss says she's not her father and she won't run the company like he does when she gets it#but there's not even a hint as to what she plans to do w it once she has it#if you want to show her growth as a character then her plans for the sdc are an absolute must#start her out as v business minded by solely number crunching and focusing on networking#then have her learn more abt the harm the sdc has done to make her switch focus to more humanitarian practices#maybe even wanting to abolish the company wholesale#blakes the most egregious example imo#there is not a single instance of someone arguing *for* peaceful protest. it's always *against* violent protest#which are v different things#its esp bad when you've read the comics where blake and adam are liberating people from literal cages#'what abt the crew members :(' idk blake what abt the slaves youre abandoning by fleeing to beacon?#why should we care abt workers - that we never actually see mind you- who are complicit in slavery?#even worse#WE NEVER SEE ANY CHARACTERS ACTUALLY PERFORMING PEACEFUL PROTEST#theres the flashback and the newsclip from v1 and thats IT#a past event and noise filler#riveting#im for violent protest wholesale but i still understand the merit of peaceful protest#theres actual strategy behind it that isnt purely playing into respectability politics#but youd never know that by watching this show bc peaceful protest is never a focus. it's only anti violence#and not even any good arguments even tho there are plenty to use#esp none in a world thats built around violence due to the man eating monsters roaming round#do we ever see diplomacy actually work in rwby?? i cant think of a genuine moment of solid conflict that isnt resolved w a gunblade#rwby is a fighting action show so on its premise alone it cant avoid fights#so arguing 'violence is bad :(' is doubly stupid#anyway this essay is kicking my ass almost as thoroughly as my life#words are hard#writing them down is even harder#i have like 5 different openings to the section abt this v thing and i cant figure out wtf im doing
