Inspiration from this amazing post with the pink inflatable coffin that I want to badly buy for myself

[ID: Art of Kravtiz, a dark skinned man with locs pulled back into a messy bun, sitting in a pink inflatable coffin floaty in the middle of a body of water. He wears black sunglasses and black swim shorts.]

“is it a good outfit or are they just skinny” is a mantra that will change the way you view social media posts like no other

The modern character of Frankenstein is so divorced from the source material that it's hard to even know how to classify it. Like any new Frankenstein character that comes out isn't even a retelling or an interpretation anymore, that character has been completely fabricated, like tons of little bits of old forgotten media have been stitched together to make the version of him we know today, it's like, it's almost like he's been like... well I can't think of a word but you get what I mean

Clone Wars

Wayward by miyaji_08

The Jedi escape the draft, scattering across the galaxy as the Republic and clones alike try to find them. Obi-Wan, tasked with remaining on Coruscant with a portion of the archives, watches on as the clones successfully end the war and kill Palpatine. He assumes that means he'll be able to live his life in relative peace, at least for a little while. And he does, right up until two little runaway clones end up on his fire escape.

Two little clones whose uncles happen to be the very people demanding a manhunt for the Jedi Order that abandoned them.

DC

are you there, god? it’s me, the gotham/metropolis rpf side of tumblr by hoebiwan

When Bernard first started making YouTube videos about vigilantes and rogues, he did it under the assumption that his viewers would uphold the Sacred Oath of RPF. As in, his viewers would not share his videos with the less-than-discerning public, anyone featured in the video would ignore the existence of such videos, and the world would go on.

No such luck.

“I like the part where you say that Superman’s love for Bruce Wayne was so pure that I sprang from his head like Athena from Zeus, but it simply isn’t true. Also, according to Alexa, a blatant misinterpretation of Greek mythology," Superboy says.

In which Bernard is an avid member of the Superman and Batman RPF side of tumblr, Kon thinks convincing his favorite RPF writer and video essayist to post weird stories about Superman is the only way to avoid murdering him, and Tim is definitely not alvin-and-the-chipmen, a popular fanart blog for Batman and co.

Invisible Boy by sElkieNight60

With a flicker of guilt, Conner opens the first-aid locker where all the med-kits—each labeled with names—are neatly stacked, courtesy of Batman Incorporated.

There’s one for Cassie, Bart, and Tim.

There isn’t one for Conner. He doesn’t know if the Justice League simply forgot about him, or if it’s deliberate. Either way, he’s too scared to ask—he doesn’t exactly want the knowledge getting back to Superman after all.

ATLA

The Many Adventures of Captain Rin: Head of Security to a Teenage Menace by Spidergirl1809

Captain Rin is head of security to Fire Lord Zuko, his Majesty, Fire Lord of Mayhem. It turns out trying to guard a teenager with zero self preservation instincts, a group of chaotic friends, and ninja-like stealth skills is...not easy to, say the least. It results in a lot of absurd and terrifying situations.

Rin thinks maybe she should've been a seamstress instead.

Stranger Things

you better let somebody love you by ForgottenFrog

“Have you ever wanted to be invisible?” Steve asked, looking out at the sheer cliffs on the other side of the quarry. It was a thought he’d held onto for a while, letting it form mostly in the early hours of the morning when he was alone in the dark.

“You mean like a superhero and shit?” Eddie asked, blowing out smoke and taking another drag from his cigarette. - When Steve presents, his parents force him out of the house, changing everything about his life and subsequently the future of Hawkins. In the mean time, Steve learns how to be loved.

When the wilted lotus blooms again by Cour104

“Liu-shidi,” Yue Qingyuan acknowledged, forcing a genial smile on his face. “Any news on Qingqiu-shidi?”

“I couldn’t find him,” Liu Qingge said, his voice unapologetic and uncaring. “But I did find this brat who stole Xiu Ya.”

Liu Qingge stepped aside, and only then did Yue Qingyuan realize they weren’t alone.

A child stood at Liu Qingge’s side, clutching Xiu Ya to his chest and glaring at the man like his gaze alone could slice him to pieces. There was dirt smudged on his red cheeks, fury etched into his features. He held himself tall and proud, even while adorned by rags, his hair limp and tangled.

“Fuck you, I already told you I didn’t steal it!” The child kicked Liu Qingge in the shin with enough force that the Bai Zhan War God actually flinched. “I found it, it’s mine now! The only way your precious shixiong is getting it back is if I’m gracious enough to shove it up his—”

“Xiao Jiu?”

Or: Shen Qingqiu de-ages. Yue Qingyuan is the only one happy about this.

House MD

He Won't Tell You That He Loves You by hellshandbasket

“Finish it out,” he grits between clenched teeth. “Go on. Ask it.”

Nolan shifts in his seat. “Are or are you not attracted, at the very least, to Wilson?”

House knocks his forehead against his cane. “I don’t know. Maybe.”

[In which Nolan pulls at the Wilson thread, and House can't stop it all from unraveling. Repression is a hell of a drug.]
