You can pry my em-dashes from my cold dead hands

someone on twitter is trying to claim that use of an em-dash is an indication of AI-generated writing because it’s “relatively rare” for actual humans to use it. skill issue

If you find a vigilante in the dumpster by lunamugetsu

Other kids: This is my father, ive known him since birth. He fell in love with my mother in college and they had me three years after marriage.

Danny: This is my dad, i found him bleeding in the trash!

Warmest place to sleep in the winter too

I'm convinced mama dragons carry their babies around in their mouth for protection, like how crocodiles do...

Piedmont will have absolutely no clue how to handle Post-Weirdmaggedon Dipper and Mabel.

The neighborhood kids play hide and seek and they’re hanging out on some random roof. You can’t beat them if you can’t reach them, suckas.

They’re outside every hour of the day. Literally. If you happen to be outside at two in the morning you might find them mid-magic hunt. Why not? Ford always said to take advantage of your insomnia for science.

Once some teenagers performing some weird Halloween hazing the Pines kids absolutely wrecked them. They literally have no chill.

For that matter, if you look Mabel in the eye, rumors say, you immediately have to play a game of cards with her. Never take pocket change anywhere near their street.

The pig goes with them. That’s final.

They say Dipper Pines has a six pack. They say he’s shredded. They saw he’s got a scar across the belly from fighting off a pack of wolves with his fists.

All the doors in the world are open if you know how to pick locks… Not that they’re saying they can. That’s implementing themselves in multiple unsolved crimes, and that would be stupid.

Feel free to add your own!

heard someone say archive of our own should install a "dislike" button and I thought I should say this: no, there's absolutely no need for archive of our own to install a "dislike" button.

why? because archive of our own isn't tiktok or youtube or twitter/x where users can monetize their content. archive of our own is a nonprofit site run by fans for fans, which means every content — every fanfic — you see on archive of our own was made out of pure love and passion from the artists/authors.

ao3 authors write because writing about these characters is their happiness and passion. they write for themselves, but they were generous enough to share with you their creations.

they're not "content creators" the way tiktokers or youtubers or instagram models are. they don't "make content" for views and engagements that can be monetized.

so no, you don't get to "grade their works" unless they specifically and directly ask you to.

you don't get to "say what you dislike about their works" unless they specifically and directly ask you to.

you don't get to "dislike" works that are not made specifically to please you in the first place. you're just a guest in someone's house, a house in which they let you in because they were kind, you don't get to roam around their house and say what you dislike about their furniture. you don't get to roam around their house and say you "dislike their house".

of course, you can have your opinion about the house its host invites you in. but if it's a negative one and you find yourself not liking the house, the polite things for you to do is excuse yourself and leave without telling them you dislike their house.

and just because you personally dislike the house doesn't mean the house is "ugly" either. the house you dislike could be a favorite, most luxurious place to many others.

my point is, don't be entitled by wanting the rights to voice your disapproval of things that you get to enjoy for free. don't be entitled by wanting the rights to voice your disapproval of things that were made out of love and passion — things the artists made for themselves for fun.

it makes you look like an entitled jerk with main character syndrome. the universe does not revolve around you.

now repeat after me: don't like don't read. no one forces you to continue reading a fic you don't like. quietly leave instead of being rude to authors who write for free because writing is their source of comfort.

people are so used to contents that were made because it's a trend / contents like tiktok that were made with the main purpose of reaching high engagement and making profits that they forget sometimes things can be made out of love and be made just for fun. sometimes things are supposed to just be for people to enjoy, and if some people don't enjoy them, then they can simply leave without being unnecessary unkind.

I like that without the usual rings it looks like he's being electrocuted again. The visual effects that turns him into a ghost are the visual effects that turned him into a ghost. I especially like the one that starts in his hand (even though i think it was the other hand that pushed the portal button)

Except for the last one, that one it looks like the wail just drains the energy and power from him.

Danny transforming without the rings.

memes are fun and relatable and all that, but don't let them discourage you. all of that stuff that doesn't make it into the final product is part of how the final product gets made

Tobacco spit.

Mom's ex husband chewed tabacco and would spit it into soda bottles and cans. One night when i was about 7 or 8 i got up at like 3 am because i was thisty, went out to the livingroom and saw what i thought was my leftover coca cola can on the coffee table. Went over, took a sip, immediately began gagging and almost threw up.

what is THE worst thing you've ever drank. all liquids acceptable. please tell me what it was, bonus points for why

It's an open notes test and some dense motherfuckers still can't figure out the answers.

I havent watched Young Justice in a while but i vaguely remember him saying in the show that he got his powers by replicating the conditions of Barry's accident. Thats the only example i can think of off the top of my head. It was in an early episode while he was arguing that magic isn't real and someone said something along the lines of "how can you be such a skeptic when you can run at the speed of light" (not exact quote, i dont have the time to try and find the scene at the moment) and he was countering everything as science that can be proven

Experiment Gone Wrong

Danny never told the Justice League he was a ghost.

He didn't really think he would have had to. His main powers were intangibility, invisibility, and flight—all staples of powers of the dead. Justice League Dark obviously knew, sensing the death magic surrounding him and contacting him any time they needed help with the Zone.

He assumed the rest of the JLA had been under the same impression. Which is why he was so confused when Barry came up to him one day asking him how he'd gotten his powers.

"Experiment." He replied, a silent gone wrong tacked on the end. Danny knew that regular folk weren't quite informed about the social norms of ghosts, so he wasn't too offended by Barry's question. If the man pressed for details, then they'd have a problem.

What he didn't know was that instead of filling in the blank with gone wrong, Barry thought Danny meant gone right.

I mean what teenager with access to a lab wouldn't want superpowers?

I hope every writer who sees this writes LOADS the next few months. Like freetime opens up, no writers block, the ability to focus, etc etc you're able to write loads & make lots of progress <3

writing is so fun

Escapism is the kind of song JD would write in the days after a bad Trollstice, during the quiet moments when everyone else is asleep, then as soon as its done he'd stuff it in the back of his song book or the bottom of his dresser drawer and never let anyone know it exist

[thenightwolf51]

@debinthewind that comparison makes this even better, i love it! Need to rewatch Psych again

Also i love when Danny "pretends" to be a medium oe psychic cause its just like him to not relize that technically he, a (semi)living person capable of communicating with the dead, is the textbook definition of a medium.

The Psychic (kinda, not really)

Dpxdc Prompt #4

holy shit i am so fucked right now

That's all that was on Duke Thomas's mind as he stood in the middle one of Bruce Wayne's (Batman! because apparently the butts do match) ball rooms, ready to be the entertainment for a gala.

how did my life ever come to this point?

At least he had an answer to that question. What do you get when you throw Danny Fenton and Duke Thomas together? An accurate psychic team that can bullshit their way into making enough money to keep themselves off the streets.

Honestly they hadn't really planned for it, but they made a pretty accurate psychic team. Danny could go invisible and intangible which was very helpful in gathering information about clients. He could talk to ghosts as well and if they weren't you know trying to attack him on sight (which was apparently a thing? that ghosts did to Danny?) they were pretty good sources of info. Finally, he new how to do all the generic psychic things like palm reading, tarot cards, tea leaves, ect.

"My friend Sam taught me!" he said, when they were realizing this plan could actually maybe work. "She never believed in it, i didn't, still don't, believe in it either but it could be useful if we actually decide to do it."

If Danny was the one with all the psychic knowledge where does Duke come in you may ask?

Danny couldn't tell a lie to save his life and couldn't get through a palm reading without bursting into laughter because of how crazy it sounded. Duke had a good poker face, learned quickly to lie on the street, and most importantly could see Danny when he was invisible thanks to his own meta ability.

They bought a tent, a deck of tarot cards, a cheap crystal ball (that was really just plastic), and some psychic-ish robes that were warm enough to double as blankets.

And so Danny and Duke started their farce, telling people scarily accurate visions and advice. They started getting invited to more events, high society ones at that, to serve as entertainment. They paid well (no matter how much the condescending nature of everyone attending irked Duke to no end) and everything was great.

They got an apartment, could actually eat 3 meals a day, and had a steady source of work.

Then Duke told someone who murdered their wife and the Bats were interested in him.

Duke and Danny, of course, didn't know this at the time so when they got invited to a gala at Bruce Wayne's (the richest man in Gotham) manor they accepted without a thought.

And then when Danny was scoping out the place after they arrived he found the Batcave because Bruce Wayne was Batman and invited Duke soley to investigate him.

Man did he wish that he could turn invisible like Danny. Maybe then Batman's piercing stare would go through him instead of straight at him.

I am baffled by this man's haircut.

Its a spiky U, got both sides and the middle buzzed leaving two thin strips that are spiked up about an inch and connect at the front of his head. Actually i think it connects in a point at his neck too.

Dude reminds me of a fallout raider.

Vlad listening in through his bugs/spies, not knowing how to feel:

Jack Fenton thinks Plasmius is hot.

Jazz and Maddie, before knowing who he is:

Danny:

He's losing his mind as his family has a casual discussion about the ghost from the college reunion being hot.

He sometimes hates that both his parents are Bi.

These are one of those times.
